Proud Princess

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. Having lived with Adam for this long, Anna had naturally begun to become greatly familiar with him.

All her initial suspicions about Adam having an ulterior motive had vanished. She had come to realize that the boy truly lived alone and that there was no one supporting him. The boy's parents had passed a few years ago and he was living all by himself.

Anna pitied the boy's plight, but she made sure to not get too close to him. No doubt, she was grateful to him for giving her food and a place to stay, but that was all.

She didn't wish to form a deep bond with him. After all, she wouldn't be staying in this place forever. As soon as she recovered from her injuries, she would leave this continent and return home.
