After running away, I spend time in my favorite place - the lavender field
Looking up at the sky and take
in the beauty of the clouds and the stars helps me relax and have some peace of mind. It was really good to be outside at night. The cool air smelled of lavender and I wondered why he helped me despite knowing I was from Sven. I returned to my camp after almost 2 hours. Ten minutes later, Qiao approached me and asked, "Aera, where did you go?"
I told him I had gone for a walk and he sighed in relief but he looked a little tensed, so I asked, "What
happened? Is there any problem?"
"It seems like we should go to Zorrel
tomorrow"
"Oh fine.....WHAT ...wait ....why should
we go to Zorrel?"
"I don't know. It's a royal order to meet them"
"But why should I?"
"They need a meeting with the camp
group leaders"
"Can't they have them here? But this is the first time they have called for group leaders."
"Aera....why can't you visit there?"
"I didn't say they can't...Anyway Zorrel is really stunning"
"Have you seen a Zorrel before? How?"
"No, never. I just heard about them."
I was completely taken aback when I
realized how close I came to being
caught by Qiao. After that we chatted for a few minutes before going to sleep.
Zorrel has the same number of
groups as Sven. The five groups are
based on geographical location, with
each group representing a different
area. The groups are divided by the
cardinal directions, with Field Area being the center, West Area representing the west, East Area indicating the east, South Area being the south, and North Area being the north.
It was around 8pm now , I was now preparing for the meet up in Zorrel. We are on our way to Zorrel with
the other leaders, Qiao being the
general. There are flowers blooming on the roads, and trees on the sides of the roads. The darkness of Zorrel is a stark contrast to the beauty of its natural environment, with flowers blooming and trees swaying in the wind. Despite the darkness, it still managed to capture an air of serenity and calmness. It was the perfect place to have the meet up; the energy of the environment was calming, yet the darkness was a reminder of the
importance of the task ahead. They consisted of ten, including five leaders and a general. One was prince However, seeing one's eyes reminded me of the person who helped me return to Sven.
People started taking off their scarves
suddenly. I was really wondering
whether I should remove my scarf since they would mock us even though I am good at these things. However I removed my scarf. It appears that there was an unwritten rule among the group that women were not allowed to join the gathering, which is why they were
surprised to see me. The prince, in
particular, may have been taken aback because he was not expecting a woman to be here. But I found a
familiar face and he helped me cross the border. His presence was clearly
unexpected, but Qiao was uncomfortable.
"There is even a woman at the meet up, so perhaps after this maybe women will rule the empire too, and I think you were the one who controlled the north area
since that was the area defeated last time" - the leader of the field area of Zorrel said mockingly.
"Ah... You're the leader of Field Area,
right? So you was one who suffered
serious injury from our attack..." - I chuckled. "It's pleasant to know you survived, and you know what I
led them through." I smiled.
The Zorrel members were surprised to see that I was the leader of the field area who had led the attack. The person who helped me cross the border and looked at me with an amazed face.
The meeting continued with a discussion of the recent attack between Sven and Zorrel to capture Wruya, but this time Zorrel was the first to attack.
"Do you think you guys will be able to get wruya? Don't you think so?" - West
leader from Zorrel asked.
In response, Qiao said, "That's what we want to say too.... We didn't start the fight at all. Mostly you are the first to raise your voice. Why can't you understand that wruya is for both sven and zorrel "
During the fight, I, Prince, and two Zorrel members kept quiet where one was the guy who helped me.
The field leader was taken aback by
Qiao's sudden aggression, and the other man who helped me was quick to react and intervene. He grabbed Qiao's sword and held it to his throat, in a desperate attempt to protect the field leader. Seeing Qiao in danger, I immediately drew my own sword and placed it on the man's neck who stopped Qiao. Everyone was startled by my action.
"How dare you point the sword at our general?" - the field leader from zorrel shouted.
I let out a chuckle and shouted - "
Then....HOW DARE HE TO POINT ON OUR GENERAL?"
Suddenly the prince interpreted and said calmly -"Yeon, take the sword back "
We both stepped back because of the prince's order.
