Naeva Winter, the Ice Princess immediately tried out the effects of her new outfit by taking a leisurely stroll in the town square. And sure enough, no one paid much attention to her. Everyone regarded her as an ordinary passerby.

The girl was very satisfied with the expensive item she had just bought.

"It's a bit pricey, but it works wonderfully."

Are you wondering where Naeva got that much Carmela? From the would-be Conquerors she killed in her territory, of course. Some of them brought quite a lot of money with them. Since the Tower's currency hasn't changed since its inception until now, it's obvious that Naeva has accumulated a lot of money since she's been hoarding it for +30,000 years. That's not even counting all the jewelry and other luxury items she's collected from all regions of the Earth.

But just because Naeva had a lot of money, it didn't mean she could waste it. Having once lived in poverty as a human, it's ingrained in her that waste is a waste. Especially since she knows the value of Tower currency when compared to Earth currency.

"!"

"This smell..."

But yeah... Like most girls, Naeva couldn't resist "snacks". No, not unable to resist. Naeva really liked snacks, especially sweets. Because on Earth she almost never ate them.

As soon as the girl's nose smelled an appetizing scent, Naeva immediately looked for the origin of the scent. Naeva's footsteps stopped in front of a small stall on the side of the road. Different from other stalls that sold heavy food, this stall that Naeva saw sold food shaped like a large colorful cloud.

"Cotton candy?" Naeva thought happily even though her expression remained flat.

Naeva didn't expect to find sweets like the ones in her world from Tower. Without much thought, Naeva headed straight to the stall to order.

"One cotton candy!"

"Fairy Floss one, sir!"

"!"

Two sentences were uttered simultaneously. Each of them was slightly startled and immediately looked at each other. In front of Naeva, stood a girl wearing a long robe and a hood on her head. But Naeva's sharp eyes could see more clearly. The girl had navy hair and golden eyes.

"This little girl is Ophelia Calliope, right?" she thought quietly [https://img.wattpad.com/36d37e01b9ed8fccfbbe69ac67e424d0dc1468dc/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f716d51766b3061554c30765051413d3d2d313332343033383636342e313739303435393436373435353963323334323033383037313534392e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]

"This little girl is Ophelia Calliope, right?" she thought quietly.

"Cotton candy?" the girl asked confused.

Naeva didn't answer her and just ignored her.

"Sir."

The man selling the snacks smiled kindly at his customer as his hands continued to busy rolling the clouds.

"Yes, lady. Please wait a moment. Lady over there too."

Ophelia Calliope was a little annoyed that Naeva ignored her question.

"Is this food called cotton candy where you are?"

Naeva wanted to just ignore her, but it seemed like it would be more troublesome if the girl continued to question her when she didn't answer the question just now.

"Yes."

"Cotton candy huh... What a cute name. I don't know where you're from, but in the Tower, they call this Fairy Floss. You should call it that next time you buy it," the girl suggested.

Naeva had not expected that. A "Calliope" being friendly to strangers? This was different from her knowledge. In her lore, it was said that one of the characteristics of the Calliope family besides the navy hair and golden eyes was their cold and unfriendly nature.

But what surprised her the most was the phrase "I don't know where you're from" that came out of the girl's mouth.

"You know, huh."

Ophelia smiled slightly, "Well... If there's a girl that flashy, there's no way I wouldn't know."

What Naeva and Ophelia were referring to was the fact that Naeva was an Irregular. Not only did Naeva catch Ophelia's eye on her way out of the tutorial, Ophelia had also noticed the girl whose beauty she had never seen before before being distracted by the recruiters.

"How did you recognize me?" asked Naeva briefly.

"Ah, you mean because of that disguise item? That kind of item can't fool my eyes," she replied casually.

"As expected of dragon eyes."

"!"

Ophelia gasped at Naeva's reply. That was because Naeva had mentioned the eye of the dragon. Inside the Tower, the only creatures with dragon eyes were legendary creatures, the dragons themselves or an ancient race of dragon followers. The ancient race had now become an influential family within the Tower, none other than the Calliope Family.

"You-"

"Well, ladies... The Fairy Floss is finished. The price is 70 Carmela!" exclaimed the salesman as he handed two fairy floss with 3 color layers to each of his customers.

Naeva took her share, paid for it and walked away, leaving Ophelia behind. Ophelia didn't sit still, she immediately paid for her food and chased after Naeva. But no matter how fast she moved, Naeva couldn't catch up. The girl's speed was so crazy that just because Ophelia blinked her eyes once, Naeva was already out of sight.

"What the hell... that girl?"

Ophelia didn't give up, she kept trying to find Naeva because there was something she wanted.

But until the sun had set, Ophelia couldn't find Naeva anywhere.

The sweat dripping down her beautiful face was a testament to how persistently she searched for the silver-haired girl she had just met. Ophelia wiped her cheeks, she kept looking back and forth. Previously she had gone to the highest point of the city to look for Naeva with her dragon eyes, but she still couldn't find Naeva.

"Who... is that... girl... actually...?" said Ophelia breathlessly.

After stabilizing her breathing, Ophelia stood up straight and stared at the clouds.

"That girl... Strong. She's stronger than I thought. Could have escaped the eyes of the Calliope family. Her identity must be unusual."

"Is everyone in the girl world this strong? Or is she just different?"

Without Ophelia realizing it, she continued walking until she returned to where she had met Naeva, the roadside fairy floss stall. She saw that the old man's sweets had been sold out.

"Oh, Lady Hood! Are you alright, lady?" greeted the vendor.

".... I'm fine. You seem to be selling out very quickly," Ophelia replied.

Not without reason, Ophelia had noticed many things thanks to her eyes. Normally, that kind of sweets would be gone by nightfall or not yet gone by nightfall. But now, even the supply for a few days had been sold out. It was as if someone had bought it up.

"Hahahaha, right. I got a fortune. Thanks to this lady who has been sitting here and eating my wares all morning, I have enough money to last me a few months," laughed the vendor happily.

"?"

"What kind of lady buys fairy floss from morning to evening and just sits here?" puzzled Ophelia.

"Is she addicted to sweets?"

The old man pointed at someone sitting nearby. The person he was pointing at was eating fairy floss while swinging her legs and staring at them from there. Ophelia's eyes naturally followed the direction the old man was pointing. And how surprised she was when she realized that the person he was pointing at was the person she had been looking for all morning.

"So you've been here all day!?" she said tiredly.
