Of the ten soldiers who returned to the capital of the Sigmund Kingdom, the one left as a guide was forced to return through the long journey without any rest. The search team was not allowed to rest until they found Ariana. But they couldn't protest because Emilio himself had been searching with them tirelessly.Ignoring the risk of threats that arise when Emilio is outside the palace, the king also goes to look for Ariana in the area outside the capital.

But when Cornell looked down, he could hardly believe someone had left a trap there. One of the horse's legs was hit by the trap, so he could no longer go anywhere and turned wary of anyone who approached him.When Cornell looked at the horse's neck, he actually found the Alison family's knightly crest there. The horse that Cornell had just found did belong to Valencia.

Please remember that I always love you.”After the incident where Ariana finally smiled again, Emilio began to feel that Ariana had opened her heart to him again. Now he didn't hesitate to say how much he loved Ariana and to show his feelings for her. Ariana still didn't reply to all those words like before. But thanks to the girl's previous smile, Emilio thought that the time when Ariana would forgive his actions would come in the future.After Emilio left in a good mood, Ariana's face, which now rarely had an expression, slowly turned into a worried face.
