While Luana was looking for a chance to escape, the carriage arrived at its second hideout. The second hideout was slightly bigger than the first. While waiting there, she heard a voice from somewhere. Another princess who had been running away, Ingrid, had arrived.

Ingrid, who wore pants and tied her hair, looked completely different. She got off her horse as soon as she found Luana sitting in front of the hideout. Even her appearance felt elegant, indeed from the real princess.

Luana rose from her seat. Thinking, now that someone she could finally communicate with came, she was going to ask her.

"Luana!"

Ingrid, who ran like she was flying, hugged Luana tightly.

"Are you all right? I didn't hear you were here."

Behind the two, Cain explained further.

"I brought her here."

"By force."

Luana stared at Cain and said that, but he just shrugged nonchalantly.

"It was necessary."

"What do you need? Why is it necessary to bring me by force?"

While Luana gritted her teeth, Ingrid, who grasped the situation, intervened.

"Sir Cain, did you forcefully kidnap Luana?"

"Yes."

Cain's attitude toward Ingrid was more polite than when he treated Luana. He was very formal towards her, which was annoying when he was the one who took her here.

"Why?"

Ingrid asked in a cold voice. Looking at her way of talking, she was indeed the female lead. Luana might've put her thumb up if only she were in a better situation.

"I think I've told you it was necessary."

"Luana didn't want to."

"But should we leave the blood of the kingdom under the Duke of the Empire? Have you not forgotten what he did in the kingdom? She's okay now, but is there any law that the duke won't change his mind later?"

It wasn't wrong. Ingrid was shaken. Even though she knows, she has to listen to her sister's opinion. She, of course, doesn't want to leave Luana with the duke of the empire, who used to kill her parents; she has been trying to understand Luana all this time.

Because she was abandoned, it was natural for Luana to think she was okay. How does it feel to be abandoned as soon as you are born and can't even look at your parents? She must've not had a happy life and was always on the bad side. Ingrid always tried to think in Luana's shoes. She tried to understand why she was doing a favor to the person who killed her parents.

"Sister, I have to go back."

Luana begged Ingrid with a sad expression. But maybe it is. Could she have neglected Luana, let her making her wrong choices because of her behavior in trying to understand her? Shouldn't she have forced her to separate from the duke and let her know her situation?

"Sister?"

Ingrid pursed her lips and looked at Luana. She felt like her confused mind was getting organized. It didn't take long for her to come to a conclusion.

"Luana."

"What?"

"I think Sir Cain is right. Stay here."

"What?"

Luana looked perplexed.

"How do you know when the duke will change his mind? He's a slayer. He is someone who kills people recklessly. He might harm you. So, stay with me."
