"What happened, Rose? What did you see? Who is speaking to you in your head?" Alan stepped in front of her, embraced her in his arms, and inquired.

'Huh!'

Rose couldn't believe what she was seeing when she saw that frightened expression on his face, and she entirely forgot about the existence of the system. That worry in such a gorgeous face was too much for her.

"Rose! Tell me what occurred when you wake up!" Her eyes, like her head, moved abruptly. She was immediately brought back to reality when she saw her same old father's face.

"There are strange characters and numbers flying in the air. Don't you see?" Rose spoke while extending her finger away from Alan. It was awe-inspiring for her. Others, though, saw nothing because they couldn't see anything.

"Which letter? Are you certain you're not seeing things?" Alan couldn't help but cast a skeptical glance her. At the same time, he became concerned. He believes that marrying him and giving him her first kiss will be too much for her.

"No, it is true! I can hear it speaking. It refers to itself as sys...." She discovered she couldn't speak any further when she attempted to do so. It's as if someone pressed the mute button on her.

"Father-in-law, I believe she became ill after drinking my blood. Her body, as a frail human, will be unable to withstand it. I don't want to breach my pledge, so I'm hoping you'll be able to make a decision on her behalf." Alan leaned forward in front of Rose's father, his head bowed.

"I'm fine. It's all right! Isn't the marriage complete now that we've kissed? Can we leave now? I'd like to be alone for a few moments." Rose abruptly stood up and spoke, her arms and legs moving like a toddler.

"In one hour! We'll be leaving in an hour. Also, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law must depart immediately." Alan raises his pointer finger, indicating that it is time for her, and speaks to Rose's father.

"Aren't we going to get back together?" Rose inquired, her face bewildered.

"Of course not! They could show up at any time. If Father-in-law and Mother-in-law follow us, they may end up in a trouble. It will also be more difficult for us to defend everyone. However, if we split up, those individuals will only come after us." Alan talked with a worried expression as he directed his staff to prepare a wagon for his in-laws.

"W——Who are they? Are they your adversaries?" Rose's voice shuddered as she spoke, her eyes gradually losing their vivid hue. She felt melancholy as if the gloom had wrapped her spirit.

"They are my adversaries, but they are on their way to get you. As I already stated, you are our jewel, but you are also our weakness. I'll go into more detail later. For the time being, head to your room and relax! I won't be able to take you away if you keep shuttering like this." Alan grumbled and attempted to guide her into the room.

"Ahh! My room is that way." Rose motioned with her hand in the opposite direction of Alan's.

Alan came to a halt, turned her head, and proceeded in that way without looking at her face. His heartbeat skipped a beat at this point. Rose was taken aback when she tried to steal a glimpse at his expression.

'Wait a minute, dude! At the very least, blush with embarrassment. Aren't you a little frigid for a guy who talked so loudly about love?'

When she followed him, his words reverberated in her head all the time. She couldn't figure Alan out even if she tried. He was chilly, she could tell. But he was also being cordial with them, most likely in an attempt to keep the relationship going.

'Wait a minute, he's behaving pleasantly to keep the friendship going despite the fact that he could simply kidnap me and take me to his house.' But why is that? He wouldn't need to do so much unless he truly wanted to build a relationship with me.'

'That suggests he either doesn't want to waste time trying to find additional women or he just can't. In any case, my position is secure. And how can he expect me to spend my entire life with the pack of wolves?'

Slowly, she looked at those wolves and thought, 'They don't look that horrible in human shape, do they? Is it due to their werewolf ancestors? And why does he look so much better than everyone else? Perhaps it has something to do with the Elven bloodline.'

'But a normal elf can't look this wonderful, can they?'

When she caught a glimpse of his face, a slew of thoughts raced through her mind.

Pat!

"Ouch! How tough is your skin?" While contemplating, she loses track of time and collides with Alan when he comes to a halt. He turned to face her without moving his body and exclaimed, "It's your room!"

As he stated, he moved slightly to the side, fully ignoring her complaint. He can't soften his body just because she wants it. That is not feasible for a man who has bathed in boiling oil for three hours.

"Humph!" Rose covered the place with her hands while crying at him. She couldn't believe she'd collided with a human being. It felt like I was slamming into an iron rod.

"May I touch you, Rose?" Alan leaned in closer to ask her a question. Her cheeks began to warm up as she heard his remarks, especially when she saw his face up close. Her heartbeat raced as she shuttered, like if the deity himself was looking at her.

"Whadddy youuu mean?"
