End Flashback..

"Are you still thinking about the past, Your Majesty?" asked the four-headed maid. She used to be Zac's nanny as a child. Abandoned by her son and husband, Zac finally decided to let her stay in this palace, and as a token of gratitude, she decided to return to work as a servant who served Zac sincerely.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much about it" Zac looked at the sky through the open window.

"Your Majesty, it's late, if you keep looking for the wind through the window, you can catch a cold" said Diana, a nanny and waitress at the imperial palace.

"Baroness, you always say that, but my body is strong and I'm big now" Zac said with a faint smile.

"Of course it's because I'm worried about Your Majesty. Rather than that, Her Majesty also never called out names and continued to call out my erased title," Diana lowered her head while tidying up the scattered files.

"I'm sorry, I'm too used to saying it." Zac turned around, then wiped his hands with his broom that was dark brown.

"What about your health condition? I heard you were found in the basement of Marquess Ahen? Why could-"

"As long as I tell you, Your Majesty. I'll explain it next time the sun is up" Diana smiled and looked up at Zac who was still standing upright staring at the night sky.

"Rest, Baroness. This was already more than enough than the usual day," Zac smiled and invited Diana to come out. As for Diana, he rubbed it with a nod of his head.

"Hows it? have you made any announcements regarding the victory of the Goncalves Empire well?" ask Zac as soon as Edward gets to his study.

"Yes, Sire. Now, many of the nobles who had supported the enemy returned to this Empire."

"Ck, you piece of shit." said Zac while signing the files on his desk.

"In comparison, I get good news about other countries." Edward smiled and handed a map to Zac.

"See this, Your Majesty. On the border between the Goncalves Empire, and the Vintaose Kingdom, there was a sizable field that belonged to King Vintaose. He said he would give the land as a sign of apology to you, Sire. He also left me a letter and hoped His Majesty would reply to him" Edward explained at length.

"Give me the letter!"

...Your Majesty, I am truly sorry that I have followed the wrong path with the three leaders. I was so stupid that I couldn't tell which one was right and which one was wrong. If I will, as a sign of my apology, I will give you a field near the border between our regions. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me and reestablish the relationship between the Goncalves Empire and the Vintaose Kingdom....

...To : His Highness Zachyre, the Goncalves Empire...

...From : King Gulhu of the Kingdom of Vintaose...

"Just a field? And she.. she hopes I forgive her? It's naive."

After reading the contents of the letter, Zac crushed the paper and threw it in any direction.

"Your Majesty, I think you can consider it once again, after all it is a land larger than Duelay City, one of the top 15 ranked cities in this Empire." edward was a little doubtful. It was not that he was supporting the enemy, but that land would definitely be useful for the Goncalves empire in the future.

"Edwrad, I am not a foolish Emperor who is easily affected by such a land. In fact, the cities within this Empire are far more numerous and some are larger than those uninhabited lands." explains Zac.

"But His Eminence-"

"Relax Edward, I will not completely reject it" Zac smiled coldly, asking Edward to provide him with a paper to reply to the letter sent by King Gulhu.

*****

"Has King Vintaose returned the letter I sent?" asked Zac amid his busyness to sign and check the files in his room.

"Until now, not yet." replied Edward as he read the invitations of the nobles to Zac.

"Haish.all these letters are useless," Edward sighed in frustration.

"What's it say?" ask Zac curiously.

"A third of a percent of this letter contains the contract between the nobility and common people. Then the rest.."

"Ehm.it doesn't seem like you need to hear it, ha. ha.." Edward laughed awkwardly. He then cleaned up the letters to be discarded as usual.

"What is the content of another letter?" zac asked with a piercing look.

"Ah. here are many letters that have not been read for a long time as well, so mixed and-"

"Edward, can you answer my question correctly? What is the other letter?!"

"That's.."

"How, Miss? Are you conscious?" ask a doctor while rubbing the back of the hand of the woman who is now awake from her long sleep.

"Where am I?" the woman complained of pain, but she was confused as to where she was at the moment.

"Miss is near the palace, where the survivors are recovering and are found around here" Dr Lily said, one of the doctors assigned to treat the survivors was found near the site of the war.

"I-palace?" the two eyes of the woman were wide open, she then watched Doctor Lily from the tip of her foot to the tip of her head.

I really am in the human world?!

"Ah.. my ears.." the woman muttered softly, she then asked Dr. Lily for a mirror.

"Are you having problems on your face, hum?" ask Dr. Lily to worry.

My ears! Why is it like this?!

A few days ago, the world "Elf"

"Dad, please let me go! sick. hyks.." The woman's cry broke as soon as the father forcefully pulled his arm to go into a very deep dark circle.

"Dad, I'm sorry for hurting that kid, but, please, don't take me to that creepy place, dad! I beg you.hiks hiks.." His tears kept flowing, unceasingly he begged to be released.

"You should be proud to be the savior of this world. That way, the world of Elves would not be haunted by guilt for his guilt."

THE SHAAA..

"D-dad!"

No matter how hard she tried, she was an outcast princess. Why live and be born as the Princess of the Elf kingdom? Strength, compassion, he can't even get it.

Wh why?

Why should I?

****

"Well! Huh! Huh!"

"Hey, miss, are you okay? Your breath is so audible, are you tired? you're okay, right?" ask Dr. Lily to worry. He gently rubbed the woman's head.

"Among the many casualties, only two women were rescued. You, and a pregnant woman with a child I can't save." Doctor Lily lowered her head and rubbed the woman's arm. "I don't know your name, but I hope you're cured and-"

"Rubby. That's my name," the woman stared inside Doctor Lily, feeling undefined, but like stabbing Doctor Lily in the chest so that she could only nod.

"Rubby, do you know Rubby's stone? She's so beautiful and beautiful, as your name suggests, Rubby Aloevera Celestine."
