As Ariana was about to enter the area within the arena when she was stopped by two burly guards whose bodies were twice the size of Valencia's. Both of them were carrying weapons and had scary faces until Valencia unknowingly grabbed the hilt of her sword in an alert pose.“Tell your boss that Ariana from Alison wants to talk to him.”Unlike Valencia, Ariana was very calm when she faced the two giants. One thing she knew from a place like this, this arena was also used to sell slaves as fighters for noble families. If she carried her surname, it was unlikely that the person in charge would ignore her. Even though her family is currently disliked by most nobles, her status as the only granddaughter of a duke still makes Ariana feared by many. Moreover, the size of the person in charge was only a Baron, so he definitely wouldn't refuse any of Ariana's orders.“Please come in.”Sure enough. When one of the guards returned, he immediately allowed Ariana and Valencia to enter the area. As

As soon as they returned home, Ariana was immediately greeted by Jimmy, who was waiting for her at the door. After Ariana told him the situation, Jimmy immediately ordered the maids to prepare two new rooms, new clothes, and hot water as well. Plus, Jimmy also asked someone to call the doctor to check both of them.With Jimmy at home, Ariana knew she didn't have to worry about the two of them lacking anything as long as she was busy. The girl smiled slightly when she saw that Carla seemed to be amazed by her house, while Cornell still tried to look unconcerned, even though his eyes occasionally looked curiously at his new surroundings.“For now, you can follow Jimmy to take a shower while waiting for the doctor. Jimmy and his father, James, are the butlers in this house. Depending on the situation, the two will swap places to serve as butlers,” Ariana informed. Since she still had work to do, the girl had to return to work as soon as she arrived. Ariana let out a tired breath. Too bad

The morning is the perfect time for Valencia to practice swordsmanship. Apart from the fact that in the morning she didn't need to take care of the sleeping Ariana, most of the knights also hadn't gathered in the morning, so she could freely use the training ground as she pleased. With only her training clothes, Valencia began to train alone. The woman warmed up, then ran around Alison's residence when it wasn't snowing too hard.Usually, Valencia is very focused when the woman has started her morning training. But this time, Valencia subconsciously stopped when she saw a familiar figure engrossed in gathering snow with a shovel in his hand. When Valencia recalled the sadistic fight the man had yesterday, she couldn't help but feel Cornell was not suited to his current task.Ariana has said that Cornell will be the gardener at Alison's residence to pay off her debt to Ariana. But looking at his current job, Valencia could already guess that Jimmy still had a grudge against Cornell to p

The journey to the northern border of the kingdom was very strenuous. Since the Sigmund Kingdom was one of the largest kingdoms on the continent, it took three months for the convoy of soldiers to reach the border. All the soldiers were quite exhausted from having to travel so far. But once they arrived, they had to immediately solve the problems that were at the border.Since several kingdoms experienced crop failure this year, the Sigmund Kingdom had indeed become the center of attention because it had abundant food ingredients due to its advanced farming methods. Numerous peace-loving kingdoms came to learn how to farm from the Sigmund Kingdom peacefully. But some arrogant kingdoms began to act by attacking the most vulnerable border areas.Not to mention that bandit attacks are also a common problem in border areas. Raoul had no time off at all, as he had to deal with affairs at the border as soon as he arrived.“Your Highness, we have found the headquarters of one of the bandit g

The laughter that echoed in Alison's residence had disappeared since the arrival of the letter from the royal palace. Even if it was a sunny day outside, people from Alison's residence could only see the darkness that engulfing the place. Everyone had gloomy expressions on their faces. On a sunny spring day, Alison's residence is shaken by the sudden news.As Ariana's personal knight, Valencia could only stand in front of Ariana's door when the girl forbid anyone to enter her room. Even Duke Andrew, whom Ariana respects so much, doesn't have permission to enter Ariana's room today. Everyone could only wait anxiously outside the room. They really hoped that Ariana wouldn't be too shaken by this sudden order.“Aria still won't open the door?”From the other direction, Duke Andrew came after he finished changing into his formal attire to enter the palace. Everyone shook their heads sadly. “Lady Aria rejects everyone who tries to open the door, Your Grace,” Valencia informed. Now and then
