Both of the men stood up and went to the door, Nevarth opened and stood beside it as he bowed towards Hayden politely. "This way, your highness."
"Mister, please don't be too polite. I don't like such formality, especially when we know each other already." Hayden said hastily as he touched the old man's shoulder, trying to make him raise up.
"Our Master has grown up," murmured Nevarth. "Alright young Master, since that's the case, then please call me Uncle."
"Of course, Uncle Nevarth." Hayden smiled and then he said, "Let's go."
Hayden walked outside the hut, it was night time outside but he can still see the road clearly because there were many lamps all over the place. He realized that right now, he was in the middle of a forest and also not too far away from a waterfall.
As they were walking slowly towards their destination, Hayden asked many random questions about the surroundings and Nevarth tried to answer it patiently. After some time, they finally saw the exit of the forest and both of them continued walking towards the end.
When they arrived, Hayden was astonished. There was a waterfall accompanied by a small river on its end. Moonlight was being reflected by the river and not far away from it, there was a splendid house. The scene was really beautiful and picturesque.
"What a beautiful place," thought Hayden speechlessly.
Nevarth glanced towards him, not long after he smiled and said, " young master, this is the favorite place of her highness. She likes to live here better than in her place."
"My new sister got an excellent taste, hehe." Hayden giggled.
A short time later, they arrived in front of the house. There was a beautiful maid who came out and greeted them personally. Estelle, she was the most loyal maid whom her highness trusted.

"Young Master, chief, welcome," she bowed.
Nevarth nodded and took the initiative to tell her about Hayden's circumstance. It was a bit complicated as it was like amnesia, but it's not actually the case. That's what Nevarth thought.
After hearing Nevarth narration, Estelle glanced at Hayden and bowed slightly. "Young master, her highness was waiting for you in the courtyard. Please follow me. I will bring you there."
Hayden nodded and told her to lead the way.
"Both of you can go, I will wait here," said Nevarth from behind.
Hayden glanced at him and then nodded, "alright."

Far away from the front gate, there was a courtyard behind the house. A young girl sat there as she stared at the sky. The girl seemed cold and unapproachable, but she was devastatingly beautiful. Her body was quite developed accompanied by a proportional curve beneath her robe. She had long ponytailed hair with black-blueish color, and her green pupil was like nature itself. Her beauty made the scenery around pale in comparison to her.
After a short time, Hayden and Estelle arrived. Hayden was watching her silhouette curiously from afar. After a single stare, Hayden was stunned because she was so beautiful, alas, he never met anyone as beautiful as her back on earth.
The young girl sensed that someone was coming and quickly glanced towards them. At first, she couldn't see clearly because it was a bit far. But a short time later, she was startled and swiftly cast her Arte as soon as possible to move faster to them.
Hayden was shocked when he realized that the girl had disappeared from his sight. However, after a couple of seconds, she appeared in front of him and hugged him tightly.
"Brother Hayden." cried the young girl miserably.

"Eh... Is this my sister? Just now, she looks so cold as if no one can get close to her, but how come now she looks so worried about me." Hayden thought. Well actually that wasn't really important, but something else...
She smelled really good, not long after Hayden started to feel awkward because his new sister was hugging him tightly. He felt that something was pressing on him.
Time passed and Hayden felt that he couldn't hold it anymore. He glanced towards Estelle while blushing and mentioned something to the young girl. "Sister, Estelle got something to tell you."
The girl pouted and looked at him skeptically, but afterward, she nodded and started listening towards Estelle's detailed explanation.
Hayden sighed inside and waited patiently while still holding her in his arms.
After some time, the girl nodded and glanced immediately towards Hayden. Afterward, she smiled warmly to him and said, "Brother, I am Princess Fay of Zenith."
