"Continue with the training," Rui demanded to his soldier. Not long after, a flying figure descended from the sky. It was a pigeon beast-man who was a messenger from the imperial city. According to the information from the recording stone that the messenger had delivered, the princess's situation had been stable, and the white witch would arrive soon. As Rui tried to search for the recording stone to reply about the situation, he realized that he had left it in Achara's house.

Rui asked the pigeon beast-man, "Please wait, I will take the recording stone to reply back."

Wyatt offered to help, "Should I take it for you?"

"It's okay, I will go." Seeing that it was a trivial matter, Rui did not want to bother Wyatt.

At this time, Achara was training her skills for the possible danger she could face in the future. She was not the type to slack off. Today, also in order to make herself stronger, she was practicing archery, and she even saw a little improvement. It was her private area where no one knew. As always, the chest bind and thick clothes were getting in her way, so she could not perform her ability to the best. She let down her hair and took off her binds. As the sweat was soaking her clothes, she decided to wear something comfortable from her bedroom inside her house. Her scent was obvious as her sweat washed down the remaining scent-concealing spray, which had already mostly washed off when she took a bath before training. Although beast-men are physically strong, it is always good to take care of one's health. Continuing training with a soaked shirt could make her sick.

Two of the females greeted Rui on the way; at their back were their mates who followed to protect them. Speaking of females, Rui was worried and missed the female in his heart. There was not a single day that he had not thought about her. Given the situation in the western land, he was anxious-a beautiful female like her without a companion to protect her. Rui wondered where she was hiding.

Rui normally only came back in the evening and rarely returned at this time. Achara thought that he might be busy with either training or inspecting other tribes. Without worrying, Achara went to her house in her female form and changed her clothes. Achara really felt a bit better after changing her clothes. Just as she was about to go back, she heard a knock.

As Rui was near the house,he saw Melina's mates peeking into Aron's house from the window. He heard them say, "Pink eyes and black hair. She is so beautiful." Rui has his suspicion in his mind. As he was in front of the dorr, he smelled a faint, familiar scent of the female goddess he met at the waterfall "Wait, this is..."

Rui eyes trembled. He knocked on the door. But as he was anxious, he broke it and quickly opened the door. There he saw a female with long black wavy hair facing her back to him. Seeing the commotion, as she turned around, she was shocked due to the door breaking.
