Alessia's POVWe returned to the camp and Klein immediately lit a fire to roast a bird they had shot.Since I'm not doing anything, they don't want to help me because they think I'm really young. I just walked around because I saw medicinal plants that grandfather planted in our old house.There was a lot of it there and I took herbs for wounds and poisons. There is also a plant that relieves dizziness. I know their look and smell but I don't know their names because they are hard to pronounce, so look, taste and smell are my clues.I got a lot and I even saved some ginseng. It is good to boil for tea and it is also good for the body.I put it in a container I borrowed from Gaspar. I also saw rosemary and bayleaf trees so I took some to add to the bird to be grilled.I returned to the camp and saw that Kairo was already stabbing the bird and it was clean, without feathers and guts."Wait, I'll put the birds in it," I stopped Kairo because he was about to put it in the fire."What is th
Alessia's POVI just DID forget because of the voices whispering. I would have just ignored it because I wanted to sleep when the voice became familiar to me. Elijah and Stefano are talking."He just looks like her, he is not her," Stefano said weakly."I know that, but I still want him to go with us," Elijah said firmly.Do they know how to speak English? They sound so fluent like they were born knowing the language, but I remembered that only blue bloods, aristocrats and sentinels are said to know this word. Those below the sentinel are not taught this word. The commoners get by enough with the local language.That means, I will also pretend that I don't understand them because I am even lower than the sentinel."But we are traveling to see a sorcerer. It's dangerous to bring someone that young," Stefano said again."Don't meddle with my decision, Stefano. I am not violating any rules. I don't have plans of becoming gay if you're thinking about that." Elijah says honestly."He's you
Alessia's POVI'm riding Elijah's horse now. I was behind him and I was holding tightly because I was afraid of falling. It was my first time riding a horse.I was forced to ride earlier because I really didn't want to ride. I was afraid and the horse was too high. The part of it is almost beyond my reach.Elijah forcibly pulled me like I was a light pillow and I just realized that I was riding behind him.He said, we can't walk because we are in a hurry to get to Caracass. I didn't protest anymore, but I held onto Elijah tightly because I felt like I would fall if I was noticed.I noticed the strength of his body, I could feel it. The only wonder is why it still smells so good. If they're traveling, I'm sure they haven't showered yet, so how can it be changed anyway?But should I still think about why he smells good? That's not important anymore. I just remembered what we went through. It will be easy for me because we are used to the direction and angle.The horse runs fast and no o
Chapter 8Alessia's POVI looked up when Elijah and Stefano suddenly took off their clothes. My whole being was scandalized when I saw that only the inner covering was left on their bodies. It's strange inside, but I don't want to know their insides anymore.But suddenly I remembered myself that I am a man in their eyes so I forced myself not to be alarmed and pretend that what I see is not just me."Ales, watch our clothes, they might be swept away by the water!" Stefano shouted at me."O-yes," I stammered because I was still shocked. I can clearly see their muscular bodies. They look like models from Calvin Klein. Their muscles flexed with every move, proud and strong.Why am I even thinking about their muscles? What do I care about their bodies? I almost slapped myself and realized that the two of them had moved forward into the water.I just stood up and Sushi followed me one after the other, but his tail was wagging. I sat next to where they put their folded clothes. I also want
Alessia's POVI SEEM stoned in my place. I fell back because the trees moved. Not literally there was life, but because there was something there that caused the forest to explode.The water has moved a bit. I was just terrified when suddenly a black object jumped up and suddenly it landed on the side of the stream which made a strong tremor and the stream overflowed.I suddenly immersed myself in the water because of what I saw. It was a big snake—not just big, it was huge.I cursed myself several times. Snakes like water! There's a good chance it'll slide into the water! I held my breath as I swam to the side. I need to get up and out of here before this giant snake sees me.I feel like an idiot that I'm more afraid of two people seeing me without clothes than a giant snake seeing me, honestly. If a snake sees me, I know what he will do, he will just eat me. But if it's Stefano and Elijah, I don't know what my destiny will be.I quickly went up to the rock but before I could do that
Alessia's POVWe have continued our journey to the city of Valencia. We were out of the forest and now I could see a fork in the road leading to the same big road in the city. I don't know where a road leads from Valencia. Immediately I saw the towering barrier, surrounded by high walls and a gate made of solid iron.Maybe the kingdoms are like that because the palace of Valeria can be found here too. I see some before us who I think are merchants who want to sell in Valencia from other kingdoms.The sentinels are looking at what I think is a permit and they are also checking the carts of the merchants. After being tested, they let them in.The sentinels saw us and immediately became alert. Everyone there bowed as soon as they saw us.I frowned and wanted to look at the man behind me who was maneuvering the horse, but I couldn't ask because I felt that he didn't want to be asked.I kept quiet even though my mind was full of questions, why the fellow sentinels respected them so much.

Alessia's POVMy studies in the field of medicine have started. I haven't seen Elijah and Stefano for a few days, they seem to be doing a lot, and I've been busy because I'm studying. My daily routine was only the room and the library. Sometimes I go along whenever my teacher treats someone.Even for meals, I eat in the bedroom or in the library. That was the king's instruction. In other words, he doesn't want me scattered around the palace, but that's fine with me too. There is no problem because I am doing something.The palace physician taught me a lot about healing. I noticed that he only taught me the basics, whereas grandpa taught me a lot.But I didn't speak anymore because I didn't want to be good at teaching. I am also learning new things from the doctor such as accupunture. That's why the body can be paralyzed as long as the right nerve is hit. Grandpa never taught me this or even mentioned it.I insisted on learning and the doctor was happy with my progress."Ales, when an
