As Yuana awaited Achil's arrival, the sight of the sun was incredibly gloomy. She wondered if it would have been too difficult for the emperor to make her a servant. She wouldn't ask for anything more.
On the other hand, the emperor was pleased to share the news about his son, who finally seemed like a man. He wondered if married women were his taste or if Yuana's beautiful words influenced him. In the end, he leaned towards Yuana's words, as he found himself smiling from time to time at the memory of the girl he had recruited against her foolish father's wishes.
After a few days, the crown prince returned from his journey, causing Tait to feel anxious. She circled around Yuana in fear, saying, "What if he finds out what happened and kills us? What if he gets angry when he doesn't find his awaited fate! Do you think Achil is capable of stopping him? Should we escape? What about the Kingdom of Carmina? She answered herself quickly, Well, they will burn them anyway after killing us! Let's escape now." She hurriedly packed her bags in panic. Yuana laughed at Tait's frightened concerns: "Calm down, girl. This boy already has ten fates; he won't even know about my existence. And it's the emperor's decision; he should talk to his father first." Tait looked at Yuana with some shock. "How do you know that?". "I met Laverna yesterday." Tait was taken aback. "Laverna? The Princess of Ravenna?"

"Yes, it's her. She has been here for six months now. Her father offered her as a fate to Aaron before he entered their land. They met, slept together for just one night, and she hasn't seen him since except in the corridors and events." Tait seemed somewhat reassured: "Although I love Achil, I can't help but feel envious... She must be at ease." But I interrupted her reassurance, "Not really; she's not much different from us... The fates divide themselves based on the number of days they spend with him, and the fewer your days, the more they resent you. And he has a cunning wife like a fox." And I recalled Laverna's words: "She wears the mask of mercy and deceit at the same time. She sits with us, talks with us, and listens to our conversations, but she separates herself with cunning, making us feel like whores."
Laverna appeared different, unlike her people. She carried a lot of hatred and pain towards the people of Hyan. She looked at the trees and said, like warm poison, "They destroy our homes to show that we have no refuge." She had changed a lot and was no longer the little girl who sought shelter behind her brothers... It saddened me greatly.
