Deep in the winter mountains, where not a single light could be seen.
During the day, Arien, who couldn’t make it down to the village, sat inside a narrow cave, wrapped her knees in a thin blanket, and lost herself in thought.
Even now, when Arien thought about that day, it felt like everything was her fault, and her heart ached.
It was a great ordeal that she had never experienced before, having lived for twentyfive years as a noble princess.
Instinctively sensing the crisis, she hurriedly left the Planus palace, expecting she could return as soon as the situation was cleared up and the misunderstanding was resolved.
But the news she heard while fleeing drove Arien to despair.
No longer a princess, but a traitor who assassinated the king.
That was Arien’s new name given by the tragedy.
‘I am now alone, but I am strong. I must brace myself.’
Gallie V made the southern continent of Planus a land of abundance and was a king who received the love and respect of his people.
‘My father wasn’t the kind of person who would get stabbed in the middle of the night by anyone.’
It was unbelievable that he was killed in front of her eyes.
“Go find the strongest person in the Northern Continent. Before the darkness swallows.”
When Arien, shaking and crying, held him covered in blood, it was his last words, holding her hand tightly.
It seemed like he wanted to say something more, but he had gone to a place where he couldn’t return.
‘Before the darkness swallows… What could he mean…’
When Arien was young, Gallie V often used the expression ‘light and darkness’ when reading her fairy tales.
For her understanding, he often explained that the good forces were light and the evil forces were darkness.
‘My father explicitly used the word darkness, signifying evil forces.’
Arien could sense what was happening.
And the ‘strongest person in the Northern Continent’ that he mentioned when he was leaving the world.
Considering the information she knew about the Northern Continent and the information she got on the run, she picked a few possible individuals.
After much consideration, she chose one person, Duke Demidhel of Astin.
A man everyone coveted, but who kept his side closed and was not easy to approach.
‘Considering wealth and power across the continent, there is no one currently surpassing Duke Demidhel!’
After a rugged journey of over three months, she had just arrived at the Northern Continent.
This is ‘Astin’, ruled by him, known as the ‘Black Prince’ or the ‘Black Eagle of the North’.
Geographically, it was an area belonging to the Kingdom of Krun in the northeast of the continent.
But Astin, which was once just one of Krun’s territories, gradually gained powerful influence, and currently, even the king of Krun couldn’t rashly interfere in Astin’s internal affairs.
Astin, a territory that resembled a kingdom, was perceived as a separate kingdom on the continent.
Duke Demidhel, who lived up to the name of the Black Prince and was inscrutable, and the Black Storm Knights ‘Tarachion’ who followed him, were those who no royalty or nobility wanted to oppose.
They were infamously ruthless.
‘Why did my father tell me to go to such a man?’
Arien didn’t particularly like Kias because of his reputation, but she came a long way thinking that she should at least check if he was someone worth asking for help.
Even assuming he had a relationship with her father, it was too risky to ask him to help clear her name outright.
‘I need to sneak into Astin Castle and meet him… I need a plausible and indisputable reason.’
Of course, she had to stake her life on all these decisions, so she had to be careful.
The hours when many thoughts come to wound her were always cruelly at night.
But if she continues to be on edge tonight, she might have to lie down in pain alone.
Tonight, Arien wanted to get away from the thoughts that constantly weighed on her.
As if she just remembered, she thrust her hand into her old bag covered with dirt here and there.
It was a chance to look over the things she hastily took when escaping from the palace and things she got during the hard journey.
A canteen with a little water, two pieces of cheese, a few bundles of herbs for emergencies, a few pieces of thin southernstyle clothes that didn’t suit the cold winter of northern Astin, a Ranidium sword made by Batonie, and a small Planus perfume bottle that she didn’t even remember when she put in.
The royal family of Planus was uniquely distinguished, and that was through their ‘scent’.
Each member of the Planus royal lineage was born with a distinctive scent, and it stayed with them until their death.
The faint aroma they exuded was so enchanting and beautiful that no perfumer in the continent could imitate it; it was a testament to their royal lineage.
However, it was a secret kept from the public, so not many people knew about it.
But to avoid any suspicions from the people around her, Arien would sometimes fill an empty perfume bottle with water and pretend to spray perfume on herself.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
