Time rewound to a few hours ago. Jill visited the town of Shelland after a long absence. The purpose was to buy food and materials. Additionally, she wanted to check the quality of her homemade clothes. She couldn’t resist the desire to walk around town wearing her homemade clothes rather than just looking in the mirror at her mansion. However, she didn’t have the courage to walk around town in her dip-dyed dress yet. It was too flashy, so she sealed it in the cloakroom for the time…-

Has it been about six months?" Matthew's old friend, the owner, Laurent, greeted him warmly. "Yes. Business in the capital kept me busy. While…

Jill headed to the mansion's main gate with Tina and Karappa. The large main gate could be opened by the mansion's owner with just a thought. The door responded to Jill's thought and opened with a heavy, grinding sound. There stood a child with a serious expression, looking as if he might die at any moment. "Ah!? Tina!" "Adeline!" As Tina ran up, Adeline hugged her as if to crush her spine. "I'm sorry, Tina! I'm so sorry...! I'm sorry I ran away...!" Perhaps, in a frantic escape,…

The Arkan Mountains were barren mountains. They were cold places with only sand, rocks, and unmelted snow remaining, devoid of trees and wildlife. The only things found there were fossils of plants and animals that ruled the land before humans flourished. “You are late, Lord Ionia.” Between the rocks on the mountainside, a tent was pitched, hidden away. The tent blended naturally with the surroundings, making it nearly impossible to detect from even a kilometer away. It was a camp set up for…

From there, Jill acted relentlessly. She supplemented her hunger with apples growing in the garden, fed and treated Karappa, and then used the preparation money given to her when she left the royal castle to procure needles, threads, fabric, scissors, and other small materials and tools. Riding the fully recovered Karappa, she left the forest and headed towards the town of Shelland. It was already becoming dusk, and Jill hurried through the town gate and asked the gatekeeper for the location of…
