"Reina's... Thank you, I'll take you with me this time. I swear, will be your savior not her" Reina looked at Varya's face with a confused look.
He digested it for so long that he remembered seeing a dark blue haired girl in his dream. The girl greeted Reina with a warm smile, Reina also came here because of her premonition which led her to meet the girl.
"You? I've remembered you. Are you really my savior?" Reina clasped Varya's hand.
"of course. I said that, didn't I?" Varya smiled warmly making Reina shed her tears.
"Thank you... L'm... It's been a long time looking for yourself..." Reina Haru said, she kept waiting for when the girl came to take herself from the horrible life.
"Reina's... Now rest. We're going to Ferlya tomorrow. Eat a lot, you need enough nutrients for your body" Varya pity to see the thin body of Reina.
Reina understood, she told Varya to sleep for a while longer. Varya understood then went out to let Reina rest. Outside Finix was already waiting for him.
"You must be tired too. Now rest Finix" pinta Varya with a gentle look on her face
"I'll take a break after submitting this report to you."
"You can deliver that later. Look at those eye bags, you stayed up all night, didn't you? Rest now Finix. You can get your subordinates to replace my escort." Pinta Varya, of course no one can dispute his will.
"Your Majesty. I'll send someone to you later."

Varya was walking around the inn. There he found a beautiful flower garden. It was so beautiful, making Varya want to string the flowers together.
"Your Majesty are you very interested in those flowers?" Asked a man who was walking behind Varya.
He was Finix's replacement for a while. Varya also often saw him with Finix on this trip. Was he the head of the mercenary force that he worked for?
"Who's your name?" Ask Varya to the man.
"My name is Rey Your Majesty. It is an honor for me to give my name to Her Royal Highness. I'm just an orphan, so I don't have a last name"
"Surely this life is so hard for you. I may not know what you're going through because I only live in a palace filled with the luxury and affection of my parents. Can you tell me a little about your life? I just want to open my eyes wider about this world. Ah, if you don't want me to not force it" Rey rounded her eyes, she didn't think anyone would listen to her difficult life other than Finix.
Rey seemed very grateful that she could meet their chairman until now they had a real home.
"Thank you..." Rey stares confusedly at Varya for saying thank you when she did nothing to Varya.
"Thank you for telling me about your life. I really appreciate that, I understand now that happiness is grateful for what we have now. I promise, I will start to make acceptance to people who have lost their way. I will build Astra where it will be known as the Kingdom that no one will experience life there." Varya continued and smiled sweetly to make Rey fascinated for a moment.
Now Varya understood, why her father often went on direct expeditions. He was wrong because he always locked himself in the palace without knowing there are people who are in trouble out there. There is even a difficult to live while he is filled with luxury. Varya is now more convinced he must be the successor to the throne and lead Astra to be more advanced. Varya was already convinced of herself for no word of retreat in her plan. It's not just about him but also about his people.
Varya saw the flowers coming back, she remembered Finix. Last night when Finix next to him smelled a soothing flower. It was unusual, but Varya had not dared to ask Finix.
Regarding Finix, Varya never asked how the man's life was. He was afraid to touch something he really shouldn't touch. Maybe Varya will wait a little longer until Finix opens up to her and Varya will also tell Finix about herself.
Somehow Varya felt her relationship with Finix would be more than subordinate and employer. What destiny has been waiting for him to come? Varya will soon be heading for that fate line. Slowly, but surely.

Finix woke up from his sleep when the sun was about to set, he was not aware so exhausted. It's time to change escort with Rey. As he was heading to Varya's room, Finix went to the man's side.
"Bo-eh I mean commander. You're up already? Is your sleep good?"
"Yes that's it. What about Princess? Are you taking good care of her?"
"of course. Besides being beautiful, the princess also has a soft heart. I was fascinated for a while to him commander. How can your heart survive with her all day commander? If I were you I might have fainted" Rey said casually but it gained a sharp glare from her boss.
"Don't brag too much Rey. Or not I'm gonna send you home now" said Finix, giving Rey a chuckle.
"Are you jealous of the commander?" Tempta Rey snapped Finix's face reddened.
"Whisper" Finix goes straight from there leaving Rey. He must not show his weakness to his subordinates even once. And he was too embarrassed to admit it.
"Hey hey look at that melting iceberg"
