"I'm fine. There was no need to worry about it. The matter has been resolved." The woman removed her hood, allowing her dark maroon hair to be seen by the guards.

"Lana, what have I told you about going outside on your own?" Prince Leroy hurried over to see that his wife was safe and unharmed since he had heard about her going out to the town.

"I'm fine. No need to be alarmed." Lana smiled, returning to her carriage, with Prince Leroy joining behind her. He stuck by her side, which she found comforting to know from the beginning that he was by her side. Yet, she still knew that his feelings could still waver since he could easily be bored with her at any moment since the life of a prince or emperor always consisted of more than one woman.

Mila was still on the rooftop, seeing she saved Prince Leroy's wife. 'Isn't that just nice?' Mila smiled, seeing how the prince cared about Lana, just like she recalled her last life. 'Too bad your love isn't out of your pure heart since you will have someone else in it soon after.' Mila felt sad for Lana since she could see herself in her when she was in love with her ex-husband; she then left to go back home and stay any longer and get caught. 'I hope Lana can find happiness not based on her husband.'

[Mama!!! Why do you keep putting me back?! Do you hate me?!] Kate was yelling inside Mila's head, which gave her a headache to know that Kate was being stubborn and demanding again. [Why don't you let me stay out?! Please! Can you let me stay out from now on!?]

'Silly, I don't hate you to answer your other question, but I can't let you or let anyone find out about you yet. Only those who I can trust can see you, Vivian, and Skye. If anyone saw you along with Vivian and Skye, I would get hurt.' Mila did not know that Kate would be the hardest to handle out of her beasts, who agreed with no hurt feelings.

[I won't let mama get hurt!!!!] Kate was upset and whining, which made it clear that she understood how harsh it must've been for Vivian and Skye, who were on the same boat as her. Mila sighed, seeing how adorable Kate was with her childish attitude and good intentions for her.

Mila returned home, finishing her bath and drying her hair with a towel while in her nightgown. Feeling that the day had been long, she needed to prepare for the upcoming war that was bound to happen anytime by the end of the year. 'What can I do?' She thought, feeling her mind wavering. 'I do not wish to be useless in this situation since I've been gone for three years, and here I am yet again to do nothing.' Mila hated being unable to do anything since she had said before that she did not wish to cower away.

As time passed, Mila didn't know what to think or do since she did not have an entire group or secret group to help her. It had been too much on her to let sleep take over since she still had a lot more to worry about. For the next few days, she had been put into her lessons again with Lady Angela, who was more than willing to be her teacher again. Mila found it all the same and boring when listening to her, forcing herself to stay awake and motivated throughout the lesson. While Angela wasn't looking, Mila got up and went to the window with a thought in mind, which had her curl the side of her lips.

"Now, have you- What are you doing?!?!?" Angela looked to see Mila at the balcony window again, which made her concerned every time she was close to it. "Get away from there! It's dangerous!" She rushed over to pull Mila back, but Mila had already jumped down before getting caught by her teacher.

She was landing like always, on her feet that were not affected by her jumps and landings. "I'll be back later! Just tell my father that his daughter went out for fun!" Mila laughed, getting out of the mansion and out to the dangerous streets once again. 'I can never stay in one place.' She knew that she used to have patience back when she was married to her ex-husband, but now that she was single and free, she could do as she pleased without anyone stopping her.
