The hero, whose magic power was fully restored, stretched and turned her gaze towards the five soul slaves being enslaved by the demon mage.

"Sorry, I have already instructed her to release you after this." she apologized.

"But please endure just a little longer for now."

The demon mage's strength mainly came from these enslaved souls, if they were released now, not having her become a burden would be fortunate, let alone expecting help.

These enslaved souls were vague and indistinct, their features unclear, merely swaying slightly, leaving it uncertain if they understood the hero's words.

"I'm amazed how you can mess up someone else's soul with just a word and still maintain that expression." The depraved hero remarked in wonder.

"Don't tell me that without my knowing, you've already fallen from grace?"

"Don't joke around, I just..." The hero replied, not wasting time in idle chat with herself, quickly turning her gaze to the battlefield on the other side, urgently:

"Alright, let's hurry over, you too come along."

"Yes~ my hero."

The demon mage was continuously gulping down various potions to replenish her depleted magic power.

Upon hearing the hero's instruction, she tossed the potion bottle aside, her face flushed red from the effects, and followed sweetly smiling.

Several weeks ago.

On a night with a sparse starry sky, the caravan was camping in the forest along the road to the capital.

In the center of the camp, the bonfire was burning, sparks flying upwards, reflecting in the night sky like scattered gold.

"Does it taste good?"

The Fourteenth Princess turned her head, gazing softly at the hero who was holding a teacup with both hands, and smiled.

"Yes!"

The hero blissfully sipped the steaming sweet drink, nodding her head cutely.

Her profile glowed warmly like jade in the firelight, without a trace of blemish.

The two young girls sat side by side by the firelight, guarded by attendants.

The attendants around the camp were supposed to keep watch outward, but they couldn't help sneaking glances back, wanting to capture the scene of the girls.

More precisely, their gazes almost involuntarily rested on the hero, drawn in by her flawless posture.

Noticing this phenomenon, the Fourteenth Princess smiled wryly and then looked towards the hero's ankle.

"Hero, that collar won't come off anymore, right?" she asked in a low voice.

The hero followed her gaze down, the exquisitely folded ankle ring made of two pieces of equipment reflecting the bonfire on her white skin, glowing brightly but not glaring.

"Of course not."

Recalling that shameful time, the hero mumbled:

"If I still wore that thing, I wouldn't dare return home..."

"Good." The Fourteenth Princess let out a slight sigh of relief, her tone suddenly becoming serious and earnest.

"Hero, there's something I want to ask you."

"Hmm? What is it?" The change in the Fourteenth Princess made the hero blink in confusion.

1.5. Have you ever liked any men?

2.6. Have you thought about your future academy life?

3.7. Have you ever been pursued by the opposite sex?

4.8. Do you know you're very enticing?

9. Have you ever thought about having men fall for you?

10. Great Success/Great Failure

♛: "Hero, have you ever been pursued by the opposite sex?"

The abrupt question from the Fourteenth Princess made the hero's expression freeze, her gaze gradually turning bewildered.

This was a common topic at tea parties of noblewomen—those unmarried girls would compare their suitors, using their suitors' status and abilities as chips to distinguish superiority. It was a topic filled with mortal world's perils.

So, those tea parties, it didn't matter if one never attended them.

—In the past, when the hero was worried about not acting like a proper Viscount's House's young lady, her confidante comforted her like this.

Although the hero no longer cared about such things, she still instinctively checked her surroundings.

Undoubtedly, this was the wild forest, not the Royal Family's garden, and the Fourteenth Princess was clearly not a story's heiress fond of picking on people.

Steadying herself a bit, the hero's gaze rested on the Gleaming Scale Serpent not far away.

Swept by the hero's gaze, the humanoid figure in a sharp suit representing the middle-aged housekeeper froze in place.

1. Yes ♛

2. No

D2=d2(1)=1

"Yes, Gleaming Scale pursued me when he was still a snake."

After some thought, the hero didn't hide it and answered honestly.

"..."

The Fourteenth Princess was stunned for a moment, while the Gleaming Scale Serpent awkwardly turned his head away.

The hero then casually recounted to the Fourteenth Princess the circumstances when she first met the Gleaming Scale Serpent.

Although at that time she also turned into a somewhat mindless snake, looking back now, the memories were still vivid.

Facing the Fourteenth Princess's gaze which had a hint of oddness, the Gleaming Scale Serpent rubbed his forehead helplessly, a smile and frown tangled on his face:

"Your Majesty, let's not bring up past matters... Besides, Her Highness the Fourteenth Princess probably wasn't referring to this kind of 'pursuit.'

"No, though somewhat unexpected, this can count as having, I suppose." The Fourteenth Princess pondered for a moment, then smiled and shook her head.
