Ner was looking at Alexander's back, who was walking in front of her

Thoughts raced through her mind when she remembered the scene of Alexander defending her

He said we are friends

She realized that Alexander had defended her so that the soldiers would not interrogate her

But he didn't have to do that. However, he defended her

Is it possible that he considers me a friend?

Ner was always trying to do her best to help her family. So she never had friends before

The two of them left the forest through the gate and then handed over the distress signal devices

When they were a certain distance away, Alexander stopped walking and started looking around to make sure no one was looking at them

Ner tensed up and wondered why Alexander would do this

"Give me the bag..." Alexander ordered her

Ner responded and lowered the bag to the ground

Alexander took out a small bag and handed it to Ner

Ner opened the bag curiously. " this.."

Ner was shocked when she saw the contents of the bag

The bag contained the cores of wolves that Alexander had killed in the forest

"This is your reward..." Alexander placed his hand on Ner's shoulder

Ner winced when she felt Alexander's cold hand on her shoulder

" but..". Although she was happy, she hesitated for a moment

"The entrance exam for the Imperial Academy is just around the corner. There is only one month left. You must take advantage of this time and increase your strength..."

Alexander guided her and advised her to use some materials that could benefit her and help her increase her strength

Ner listened to Alexander's instructions seriously

After Alexander finished speaking, he took out his phone. " Give me your number.."

" my number?..". Ner's face went blank

Alexander smiled gently. "Yes, aren't we friends?"

"friends?..". Ner whispered inaudibly

"Well...actually this is my first time..." Alexander looked to the side, scratching his cheek lightly

"..." There was a stupid expression on Ner's face

Did he say, it's his first time?

Alexander continued with a shy smile. "This is the first time I have a friend."

"..." Was this what he meant?

She began to realize that it was not her fault, but that Alexander was the person who always said strange things that could easily be misunderstood.

There was a dull expression on Alexander's face. "You don't want to be my friend?

"Oh...it's not what you think, I just...I don't know much about friends..." Ner tried to make excuses

"This means that I am your first friend?" There were stars in Alexander's eyes

" this..". Ner became speechless

She didn't expect Alexander to be so excited

"I'm sorry I got so excited....Actually, I never had friends before, so I'm glad I made a friend for the first time. I know I'm exaggerating when I get excited about something like this..." Alexander smiled with a blank expression on his face

"....." Ner didn't expect Alexander to say this

After looking at the matter differently, it was embarrassing to say that she had no friends

But the embarrassment was doubled when it came from an important and well-known person like Alexander Ford

It must have taken a lot of courage to admit it

Does he really consider me a friend?

Ner saw that Alexander was a person who could become cruel sometimes, and who could easily fool others using his acting skills, just like he fooled the soldiers in the forest.

Ner began to analyze Alexander's words, and the more she thought, the more illogical it seemed

What benefit would he gain from lying about this matter?

I do not have power or wealth, I come from a commoner family and I am not related to anyone important

I'm an ordinary person in every way, and Alexander, on the other hand, was the Ford family heir who had it all

In this case, why would Alexander want to become my friend?

The only explanation is that he really wants to be my friend without any hidden intentions.... Ner has come to a final conclusion

Ner looked at the bag containing the cores of the monsters they had hunted together

Ner smiled as she looked at this bag. This bag was a symbol of their friendship

Frrrr! Frrrr!

The two heard a loud engine sound

The two looked in the direction the voice came from

There was a convoy of luxury cars approaching them

The car in front was heading towards them at a crazy speed

The black limousine stopped in front of them, and Alfred, who was driving the car, got out

Alfred's hair was disheveled and he had dark circles under his eyes

Alfred looked at Alexander with red eyes and shouted hysterically. "Young Master..."

"..." Alexander felt a little guilty when he saw Alfred's miserable condition
