Beatrix woke up like usual. From the day she ran away with Prince Anders, every time she woke up, her body feels very sore, especially her back. She is currently staying in a small place without a bed and open to the ocean wind. The good thing now is it is not as bad as the first time she spent her sleep outdoor. Probably, her body is slowly adapting!

Now, she is no longer wearing fancy clothes, pieces of jewelry, and accessories but her movements are unrestricted. Wearing male clothing feels more comfortable than wearing feminine clothing on the island. She was not able to eat her favorite foods and drink her favorite beverages now but she learned that as long as it is not poisoned or can cause stomach aches, it is still okay!

She does not have servants to serve her needs so she needs to do it on her own! She knows how to take a bath and dress now. She learned how to start a fire and cook easy meals. She knows how to collect fruits and vegetables by herself. She learned how to catch fish and crabs then collect clams and sea urchins!

She was able to continue practicing archery because Valentine made her an improvised bow and arrow after she told him that she is previously practicing archery. Valentine gave her his tips on how to be a better archer because he saw her great potential! Now, they are hunting their prey to broaden their meal option and also for her to refine her archery skill.

In general, Beatrix realized that being stranded on the island is not so bad after all! She learned a lot of things by doing it by herself!

Prince Anders and Princess Gertrude are still searching together with the Solaris Empire's rescue authorities. The chance that the person they are looking for is still alive is smaller now! They became more gloomy as the days passed by without success!

One day as the sun is almost about to set, they saw the largest and fastest Solaris Empire's naval vessel. They seemed to be guarding something as it looks like they are staying in one place.

Princess Gertrude ordered to go closer to the large vessel. When they successfully boarded the vessel, she and Prince Anders immediately approached Errol, her cousin's right-hand man. Errol gave a formal greeting to Princess Gertrude.

"Why are you staying here? Are you not going to help locate your Emperor?" Princess Gertrude asked.

"We would like to do it, Princess, however, we received an order from His Majesty before his disappearance that we need to guard this place no matter what!" He seriously told half-truths and half-lies to the princess.

"Why?" She curiously asked and continued. "What are you guarding here?"

"We do not know, Your Highness. We are just following His Majesty's command." He told another half-truth and half-lie.

"Can we do a quick checking in the surrounding islands that you are guarding?" She asked for permission since there are things that are forbidden and not under the scope of her power and authority.

"No, Your Highness! Please, we are bound to follow His Majesty's order! No one gets in or out of these areas!" He immediately refused and continued. "We already checked but these areas are cleared!"

Princess Gertrude sighed sadly and looked at Prince Anders, who is looking strangely at Errol and then looking curiously at the islands in the surrounding...

"Andy, let us go. My cousin and your fiancee are not here. Let us just look in the other areas tomorrow." She said to him.

"Are you sure that there are no people in those areas?" Prince Anders probed deeper, really unconvinced, and wants to check by himself to be sure.

"Yes!" Errol lied without batting an eye.

That night, Beatrix was visited by another strange dream but this time, it seems that the events happened during her second lifetime. Just like the first dream, everything looks so real and feels so real!

The six-year-old Prince Andrew is constantly checking what little Prince Anders and little Beatrix are doing. He is secretly hiding behind a tree, watching them from afar. He sighed as he saw them happily playing together. He did not understand why Beatrix is so partial to his Imperial Brother...

She always plays with his Imperial Brother but she always refused him every time he asked her to play with him! He thought that she did not like the games he suggested so he offered different games daily but she always declined! He offered different toys but she is always uninterested!

One day, he asked her what sort of games she would like to play but she said that she likes all sorts of games but she will never play with him! She ran towards his Imperial Brother instead! He realized that she always says 'No' to him but when it comes to his Imperial Brother, she always says 'Yes'. He decided to join them but they both do not want him in!!!
