I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

'That little monster still causes so much trouble despite not being here!!' thought Aunt Extalia inwardly.

"Angus, please calm down." said Aunt Extalia trying to calm Angus.

"Don't try to make me calm!! What happens if the one that is gone now is King Leon?! Will you also stay calm knowing there is a chance you may not find him again?!" retorted Angus.

"Angus… That's…" said Aunt Extalia as she also didn't know how to answer.

If Leon is in Anna's position and has no seventh-grade combatant, she will definitely act like Angus.

"I already did it. I.. I abandoned her once and did not try hard enough to save her. I regret it!! I don't want to see her helpless and abandoned again while I know I could do something to her." yelled Angus.

Angus recalls his regret feeling when Darkwing Bat monster overlord holds Anna and stabs her heart. He still remembers Anna's helpless face and asks him why all of this happened to her.

Angus knows that if he tries harder and protects Anna better, he could easily escape with her. But his hesitation in caring for her makes him unconsciously not try his best to protect her. Although everything was fine in the end, he didn't want to feel this kind of regret again.

Hearing this, the Duchess finally knows why Angus cares so much for the little monster. But, she still cannot let them go inside the forest again.

Just as she is wondering whether to restrain the couple or not, they feel something fast approaching from the forest. Soon, they find two little girls, one with black and one with silver hair, appearing before them.

"Angus!! Big Sis!! Anna made a friend! You need to see her." said Anna excitedly while hugging the couple.

Seeing it is only the little monster, the Duchess feels relief. She didn't need to do something that would make the future pillars of the Heart kingdom hate her.

"Anna, are you okay?! Did you get hurt?" asked Angus and Jayna worriedly while inspecting the little girl.

"It's fine. Anna is strong. Hurry, let's meet with Anna's friend." said Anna while jumping around excitedly.

"Errmm… Anna, does that girl happen to be your friend you talked about?" asked Angus as he noticed the weird aura from the girl.

While the Duchess didn't feel anything about the silver-haired girl, Angus and Jayna feel like when they meet Fire Phoenix before merging with Jayna. They could feel a unique primordial aura from the silver-haired girl.

The aura is suppressed and could only be perceived by other primordial beings like Fire Phoenix or someone with a keen sense like Angus.

However, they also didn't feel any malice in this aura. The aura is pure and noble, without any dirt on it. The couple nodded as they knew the silver-haired girl was not an ordinary girl.

"Ehh.. When did Anna's friend get here?! Weird… no matter. Angus, Big sis. This is Anna's friend!!" said Anna while introducing her friend to them.

Hearing Anna's sentences, the couple could already guess that she actually left her new friend in the misty forest alone and ran here just to give them the news. They know Anna is probably able to find them because of her ridiculous instinct.

However, her instinct does not always work and only responds to what she is currently desiring. If they didn't find her new friend during the search, they would get lost again inside this thick mist.

Sometimes they don't know if Anna is only a simple-minded girl or just never wants to use her brain to make her this reckless.

"I see… Anna, does your friend have a name?" asked Jayna while patting the little troublemaker.

"Ahh.. Umm.. Did you have a name?" asked Anna to her new silver-haired friend.

'She befriends her without knowing her name?!' thought everyone inwardly.

"Mira." replied the silver-haired girl shortly.

"Yes. Mira is Anna's friend." said Anna as she clung to Mira casually.

Seeing the happy Anna, the couple could only let her be. Although Mira barely responds to Anna and keeps looking at Anna while tilting her head, the couple feels like they are complimenting each other.

From what they observe, they know Mira is a silent girl and Anna is a very active girl. The two girls may have the same body stature and different personalities, but they seem very close, like siblings.

Moreover, they know Mira is not weak either since she can follow Anna when she is running at full speed. They know how fast Anna could be when she puts her mind to running away.

Then, Anna begins blabbering many weird things to her new friend. She keeps talking about bubbles along with various kinds of strange words. To their surprise, Mira seems to understand the little troublemaker and nods her head without changing her cold expression.

They didn't know if she genuinely understood Anna or not. But, seeing Mira keep listening and respond with nods to Anna, it feels like she listens and understands Anna's words.

As they finally reunited, they decided to enter Craghost Town and meet with the Crown Prince's group. The Craghost Town is not inside the Nirvas kingdom. It is only a town where people take the entrance test before entering the Nirvas kingdom.

Since the entrance test is ridiculously difficult, many people cannot go inside the Nirvas and need to do some re-test. Therefore, Craghost Town was built to shelter the people who could not enter the Nirvas Kingdom and try to do a re-test.

Despite not being inside the Nirvas Kingdom, the town is still managed by the Nirvas kingdom. Because the city is located inside a lush misty forest, the atmosphere is humid and often covered with mist.

Contrary to the surrounding jungle area, Craghost Town looks like an ordinary advanced town with proper management. Angus and the others could also find various races inside the town.

They even find some superior races like demons and elves working in some shops. Angus also found a beast race that is famous for its territorial habit.

The beast race was divided into many sub-race similar to demons, but all of them were very territorial and didn't like to go outside their territory.

Therefore, it is very rare to find beast races outside their territory. Furthermore, they were preoccupied with their civil wars from one sub-race to others.

Their situation may be similar to the Demon race, but the Beast race has more sub-race and their civil war happens daily between one tribe sub-race others. They hardly have any sense of unity between one sub-race to others.

Angus and Jayna find many different races walking on the street amusing. Since they are still between Nergal and Heart kingdom, they mostly only find human races with few races like dwarfs, goblins, or other unique races in the capital.

It is rare to find a place where it didn't dominate the human race in this region. This scene reminds them of the Endless Battlefield dimension, where there is hardly any racism conflict.

Although there is almost no war because of racism in the Firuman, it doesn't mean there is no racism between one race and others.

Since there are superior races like demons and elves with stronger unique traits, there will be a conflict between them and other races. The conflict will become more complex as the number of each race grows.

Fortunately, these races are too preoccupied with their own and monster problems. Therefore, there has been almost no war between the two races since ancient times. Furthermore, the World Alliance prohibits any war because of the racism conflict.

The World Alliance's true purpose is not only to combat and cope with any threat that would endanger civilization. They must also preserve any culture, history, and race from extinction. This prevents their move from being limited when facing a monster army.

Soon, they arrive at the hotel where the Crown Prince's group stays. The hotel looks luxurious despite its medieval looks. Entering the hotel, they find Roy Flamberg, leader of the Royal Guard, waiting for them.

As one of the important delegations and royalty of the Heart kingdom, King Leon decided to send Roy to accompany Crown Prince Eric during this diplomatic mission.

"It's been a while, Duchess Amberblaze." said Roy while saluting the Duchess respectfully.

"Yeah. It's been a while, Roy. It seems you have improved since our last meeting." replied the Duchess.

While the two group leaders are talking to each other, Angus observes Mira, who Anna drags to see various things in the hotel.

"Feeling jealous?" asked Jayna teasingly.

"No way. I just find there is something familiar about her. But, I couldn't remember what it was." said Angus.

"Hee.. So, there are also things you couldn't remember?" asked Jayna.

"Normally, there isn't. But I couldn't just find it. Maybe I just forgot about it. Anyway, wasn't your brother supposed to be here?!" said Angus.

Hearing Angus' question, the Duchess also realizes she finds that Crown Prince Eric is actually absent rather than welcoming them. Based on their noble etiquette, the crown prince should need to welcome her as her noble rank is still higher than him.

Moreover, she didn't believe the glib-tongue Eric actually missed to welcome someone like her without showering any praise.

Knowing the Duchess' thought, "The crown prince… is resting from his injury." said Roy.
