“Please take me with you.”
“……Oh, it’s a woman!”
The burly men draped in wolf pelts spotted her and whistled.
But the man, apparently the leader, asked without blinking an eye.
“Who are you?”
“I am Asha Camellia. I’m from the Nepesh minority tribe.”
At that, he snorted slightly and said,
“Minority or not, it’s none of my concern. Did you just ask us to take you with us?”
“Yes.”
He looked at her coldly, then turned his head and said firmly,
“Go back to your village. This place is for those who have nowhere else to go.”
Asha hesitated slightly before saying,
“But I also…… have nowhere to go back to.”
At that, the men blinked and looked at her in surprise.
He paused for a moment, then turned his head again and asked,
“No place to go back to? Didn’t you just tell me you were from a minority tribe?”
“Yes. But now I’m a wanderer since I left my village.”
“Ha.”
He clicked his tongue as if in disbelief.
“……So, you thought we’d be grateful for saving you from the bandits, and just let you go on your way, but now you think we should feed you too?”
His blue eyes, as vast as a lake, turned even colder.
Embarrassed by his indifferent reaction, Asha clasped her reddened hands together, not knowing what to do.
“……That wasn’t my intention. Thank you very much for saving my life. I owe it to you.”
It was natural to refuse to take a stranger along without question.
Asha brought her hands together and bowed politely, then hurried back to her hiding place.
There, a basket was tumbling over the snow.
Scattered around were shriveled fruits, wilted grass, and pieces of bark, as if she had lost them while slipping on the snowy road.
Though her hands were numb from the cold, Asha started carefully putting the food back into the basket.
Even in its poor condition, it would be enough for a day’s ration.
Asha climbed back up the slope and offered the basket to him.
“This is the food I found all day in the mountains. It’s my way of thanking you for saving my life.”
“……I don’t need a reward. If you think you can win our favor with that, give it up.”
“It’s just a token of my gratitude. Please accept it.”
He stared into Asha’s eyes, then motioned to the boy next to him.
“Naji, take it.”
“Yes!”
The boy called Naji, with his light brown hair, accepted the basket and winked at Asha with a beaming smile.
It was a gesture of thanks.
The winter in the northern region was incomparably harsher than other areas.
In such a place, food was always precious, so as the leader of his group, he made a practical decision for his comrades.
Asha timed her next question, gathering her courage.
“I will never be a burden to you. As you can see, I can at least gather my share.”
“……Then keep living on your own like that.”
His voice still cold, Asha now sounded a bit desperate as she said,
“I need strength right now. The strength to protect myself. Please let me become a Ricaon.”
At that, the men’s eyes widened slightly. The leader looked at her intently with his icy blue eyes and spoke,
“You seem to know who we are.”
“Yes, I’ve heard that you’re a group of hunters with a 100% success rate on any task.”
“……And you still want to join, knowing that?”
“Yes, please.”
Asha replied with a serious face.
In truth, her claim of leaving her village was a lie.
Although she was an orphan, she indeed had a place to go back to at that time.
In the united village where minority tribes lived, there were younger siblings, not related by blood, who were waiting for her return.
But the reason she lied was because she didn’t want to repeat the past.
A year later, the minority village will be thoroughly trampled and destroyed by the Count Delphinium family.
And in the process, instead of awakening as a butterfly and being sold as a slave, she was sold to Emperor Karaf.
Asha never forgot the tears of that day when she could do nothing as a butterfly.
In this life, she wanted to prevent that from happening at all costs.
Even if she couldn’t take revenge on the Emperor, she wanted to nurture her strength to at least save and leave the pitiful villagers with her own hands.
She believed that was the reason why she did not die and returned, and came back to this moment among all those days.
To change the future, she had to choose a different path from the past.
And the person she shouldn’t miss now was the man right in front of her.
She wasn’t sure if it was the intuition of a butterfly, but she somehow felt that way.
He, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth heavily.
“……I’m sorry, but in our Lion, women are only allowed in when they have a companion in the organization. So please go back.”
He walked away, closing his eyes and turning his back, as if he would say no more.
But then it happened.
“……Then I’ll become your companion.”
He stopped in his tracks.
The surrounding members cheered.
He turned back, a slightly scowled look on his face, looking unhappy.
Thinking there was no need to be polite now, he spoke aggressively.
