I could see we were riding a horse and there were many guards riding horses and they're chasing us with raining arrow. but it was just not clear because I was still dizzy.

I forced myself to look back at who was on the horse.

She is the one who saved me.

Aerin!

but how?

just a moment and I lost consciousness again.

I woke up with many bandages on my body in this unfamiliar room.

Again!

and the collar is still present.

I looked around my bed to see if Aerin was there.

and I was right.

She looked at me very worried.

"Don't move first. Your wounds may open up.

_I felt the pain but I still got up and my side wound bled a little.

I told you. you couldn't do it yet. why are you so stubborn? "

it doesn't matter but why are things like that?

why is it that I don’t have the ability to heal the wound immediately every time I get it?

I still continued to stand up and sit in the chair next to her and I put my hand in her cheek.

"Do you know what's happening to me and how did you track me down?"

"I'm not the only one who saved you"

"huh?"

the door suddenly opened.

Alisha is here too?

What's happening?

next to enter were Norabele, Lia, Martha, Jane, Dr. Frey, Mauro and her son Michael, and Erina were the last to enter.

it's like a reunion is taking place but.

" Can anyone explain what's going on?"

Erina explained.

" After you left the cabin Alisha came with Aerin to see you and talk about Luthien but you had already left so they first accompanied us to finish 'Harvest'."

and then they followed me to Ashford the capital city of the Ashfall Kingdom.

they got in easily because of Erina.

but before they could reach Ashford gate and they saw Dr.Frey hurrying away and it accidentally dropped some of the monster cores I gave him.

so Erina was a little suspicious and asked the doctor instead.

in other words the doctor narrated the events due to extreme panic.

it was only then that they carried out the plan of rescuing me and they needed Mauro to carry it out.

Mauro could not refuse because he was still guilty of his mistake.

and he was remorseful so he helped to find out where I was imprisoned.

the magic bomb came from a trustworthy man inside the Palace of the Avantika.

So there were trusted person inside?

I remember the servant who hand over that cup of tea.

Mauro never mentioned who it was but I am very grateful to him because without the Magic bomb the rescue of me at the hands of my good grandmother would not have been possible.

there is a magic barrier throughout the Avantika palace surrounding.

so escape is impossible. meanwhile Mauro sent a piece of paper stuck between the saucer and cup.

he said it was a good thing and I guessed the content of the letter otherwise I might be torn to pieces now.

ehhh.

and the damage I received from it was small.

ehhh.

it was not difficult to escape the mansion of the Avantika.

but it became difficult to escape out of the Ashford wall.

Fortunately, Mauro managed to mislead the soldiers in order for us to flee, but he could not return because of his actions.

but he said it was better because he did not want to be the cause of the loss of a good friend.

loss? will i lose

they explained why my grandmother and the prince did that.

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

and they had to force me to marry the prince even if it didn't spring from me.

my grandmother.

Valeria Q. Avantika

That's the name of my grandma!

at first glance she is very kind very Graceful but hidden behind it is her abominable work.

her body is not its present persona.

it is true that the body she uses is that of the Queen but that is not her real name.

her name is.

Merelia.

Merelia was born 2300 years ago.

ehh?

how?

She transfers her soul to whomever she desires.

but before that.

her face was cursed and she also used to be royalty but due to the very bad habit of their clan the king of the Ashfall Kingdom decided to exterminate their clan.

but unbeknownst to them they could not completely exterminate the race of Merelia's lineage. and instead Merelia vowed to take revenge on the Ashfall Kingdom and enslave the Avantika race that they caused her so much grief to suffer.

since then whose body she has been moving around and not counting the clan she has destroyed can only enter Avantika as a servant. and she had finally fulfilled her plan.

her longing for revenge she also finally carried out.

and every time she moves the body dies and grows old what she leaves behind.

Dr. Frey found out all this. because he is a personal Doctor of Avantika clan and also because he could not fight the Avantika he decided to just keep quiet and be indifferent because his life will be the price just in case.

I can't blame Dr. Frey but what else can he get from me and why do we even have to get married?

the doctor again explained the reasons.

when we get married the prince of Rhunya will fed from everlasting lust on my body and before giving it to the queen when my sanity is completely destroyed.

That's horrible.

And at this point my brain was too weak to resist the sacking of Merelia's soul into my body.

and because I am a hero. no kingdom can stand against Merelia using my Body.

and because of that she can do the thing she wants to happen.

"What's that thing?"

"We still don't know. So far it's just speculation because it's hard to know the real motive of the fake queen."

the doctor replied.

the situation would have gotten worse if that had happened.

"but what about this collar around my neck? I think it's because of this so I can't use whatever ability I have."

Dr. frey explained the collar.

the collar is an ancient item used only for ferocious monsters.

as if a cursed one was imprinted on it.

cursed that you are just a newborn even though I look like that now and because of that I can't move?

"but I'm surprised at you because you can still exercise despite the collar attached to your neck."

said Aerin. does that mean she's been staring at me out the window for a long time?

and I was right because they also planned to save me for a few days.

"but how do I remove this collar?"

"sorry but I don't know? and there is no way in history for us to get rid of that. but even so I can change our face to hide our identity while we still don't know the way to remove the collar."

"so can i still get into rhunya magic university?"

they looked at me as if I had said something shocking.

and Erina spoke.

"at a time like this? that's all you're going to say?"

" What should it be?"

they just sighed and Dr. Frey also suggested that the answer may have been at the University because it was built as a symbol of human resistance against the Demons after the entry of the D.C.age.

because the human resistance prevented the extinction of the entire human race.

the call to them is.

'Eternal Guardian'

every member of the Eternal Guardian is extremely secretive.

but it is politically neutral.

And they have no ties in any Kingdom.

In other words. They're a complete shadow of justice.

things are getting complicated.

"There's nothing we can do right now and I think the authorities are looking for us. Wait, whose house are we in?"

Mauro replied while just nailing Dr frey.

"This is the house my wife and I stayed in before she left us after learning that Michael inherited the cursed from my clan."

Michael then slowly approached his father and hugged him.

they meditated on their memory together.

"I know your past is sad but are we safe here?"

"I'm sorry. but I'm sure we'll be safe here because it's not registered in the land registry as my property."

"what a relief. thank you for that."

after the conversation Lia, jane and martha came up to me to hug me and they were happy that I was safe.

their soft ones stick to me.

gulp.

everyone in the room also shared a hug.

for we are a family binds at this tight situation.

after we ate lunch Dr frey started the 'face reanimation' everyone changed their face but nothing seems to have changed?

because there is a chain connection to each to still know each other.

while other people think differently of us.

except for Aerin and Alisha whose only thing missing from their image is their ear.

and the doctor also announced our fake status and fake identity.

he asked me what my name would be on the fake identity.

i am a woman so ..

"wolfina."

the doctor repeated the name and wrote the whole of my name on the fake identity.

it is a kind of birth registry.

it's like a birth certificate too.

my name is.

Wolfina Elway Ruphert.

everyone changed last name except Alisha and Aerin.

because their role in the family is that of housemates.

Dr. frey is old in the sight of some.

he was Mauro's parent.

Martha is the oldest of our cone siblings.

jane followed then Norabele, Lia, Erina, me and Michael were the youngest.

the ruphert clan is not well known in the state of life but is a common surname of the poor in this kingdom.

grandpa frey will be gone for a few days to bring our birth certificate to his trusted friend in the birth registry so that we can live here legally without any problems.

we didn't realize it was dinner.

if only my bagpack was here.

I mentioned the loss of the bag that Erina had given me.

"That's important to me but you didn't lose it on purpose, did you?"

"right."

"Let's just find it later."

" Hahahaha.."

????

Mauro laughed.

"why?"

"if you don't ask."

he took his bag and also took out my bag there.

"huh! how did that happen to you?"

"long story but the important thing is it's here with me and I just forgot to give it to you because you know I'm still nervous to pass-on until now."

I can still feel his anxiety and trembling in his hand

at that point I immediately peeked at the contents of my bag.

good and nothing has changed in my inventory.

Martha had already invited everyone to dinner after they had prepared it at the table.

then we slept soundly together.

in the morning.

Grandpa Frey said goodbye early to sort everything out but before he left I talked to him when we were just two.

We must get used to this before anyone might get their nose on us.

"Wait? Why do I trust you so much? Isn't it refreshing?"

"that's true. sigh. my whole life. I've devoted my life to my profession and lived in the wrong perspective. but when I saw myself losing direction and I could lose everything. suddenly I met your friends.

even though they know their plan to save you is dangerous, the perspective on my life has changed."

"Is that why you left your life as a doctor?"

"still not but I thought I could still do what I'm used to. without depending on the Avantika. they're the reason why I became successful and became a smart doctor."

"hmmn. I've heard enough for me to trust you so much."

"You mean you still don't trust me until this time? How sad."

"It's not like that but it's because of me that you lost everything. I mean I'm the reason for everything that happened to you."

"what should have happened has happened but to live in the present and for the future to be clear we have to start all over again."

start again?

seems like I already understand what he means.

"thank you for being there."

"That's okay with me. All right I need to leave."

"thank you."

Dr frey has left.

we are left here to start again.

I can see Mauro struggling.

guess we need to start from the beginning.

and we have much more to do as long as this collar is still attached to my neck.

Aerin called me over happily to have a snack.

okay.

" wait for me."
