It was really boring and completely tedious for her to attend classes without Theo and Nayun there with her.
However, when she was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch alone, someone, or rather a princess, approached her.
"Hihihi! At first, yes..."
"And? So what made you change your mind?"
"Rachel and I sit next to each other, so we can talk about many things."
Theo didn't seem surprised, but there was still a hint of curiosity on his face.
"Rachel, huh? You two seem to be getting along very well lately."
It wasn't the first time Theo had seen the two of them talking.
"Yes... We have a lot in common, so it's normal."
Yeonha said, pushing Theo onto the sofa and then sitting down next to him.
"Yeah. I think you're right."
That was true. Both were heirs to prestigious families and guilds, and what's more, both sought to elevate their families to the top.
One was the princess of England, the other would be the future princess of Korea. So it was natural that they had many topics in common, especially topics that normal people didn't usually talk about.
Yeonha reached out and took the tray with the sandwiches.
"Mmm! I'm so lucky to have such an amazing boyfriend... This is really delicious."
Theo smiled, leaning back on the sofa, satisfied to see her eating.
"I'm glad you like it."
Yeonha chewed another bite, savoring it, then delicately wiped her lips with a napkin. Her eyes, however, narrowed slightly, with her typical curiosity.
"By the way... you haven't told me yet. How was it out there today? What about those places you went to see? Did you like any of them?"
Theo took a sandwich and, after taking a bite, explained:
"The truth is, there are only two places I liked. Jeju Island and Suwon."
"Uh! Only there? Aren't the other places good?"
Theo shook his head, swallowing the bite before continuing.
"It's not that they're not good... But I don't know if you guys will like them."
One place was further south in Korea, another was in a region where it rained most of the year, and the third was extremely isolated from the world. So it was hard to say whether Nayun and Yeonha herself would adapt or enjoy living in places like that.
"Ah! I think you're right."
Yeonha quickly understood why Theo had chosen Suwon and Jeju Island.
Suwon was in Gyeonggi Province, the most populous region in Korea, located just 30 kilometers from Seoul.
Jeju Island, on the other hand, even though it was almost 500 kilometers from the capital, had areas where people didn't seem to care much whether someone was famous or not, making it a good place for celebrities to live more peacefully.
Yeonha rested her chin on her hand, thoughtful.
"Jeju would be perfect for disappearing from the world for a while... but it's also far away. And I like the idea of having everything close by, like in Seoul. After all, we're not like you, who can teleport from one place to another.
Theo chuckled softly, but didn't deny her words.
"That's why Suwon seems like the perfect compromise. There are teleportation portals that connect directly to Seoul..."
Yeonha sighed, but smiled right after.
"Let's check with Nayun and Cappie too. Maybe they have a different opinion than mine."
She leaned back on the couch, finishing the last bite of her sandwich, and let out a small yawn. Theo gently ran his hand through her hair.
"Want to rest for a bit?"
Yeonha closed her eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath.
"Just a few minutes. Then I need to finish the Guild reports and update the analyses on that new dungeon the Guild discovered."
Theo smiled, leaning over to kiss her forehead.
"Okay. Rest. When you wake up, I'll help you."
Shortly after, Yeonha settled down right there, leaning back on the sofa, leaving the tablet resting on the coffee table. She remained silent, just listening to Theo's calm breathing beside her.
About twenty minutes passed before Yeonha opened her eyes again, her gaze steady but serene.
She stood up, smoothed her hair, and sat back down in front of the holographic screens, which soon lit up with graphs, reports, and images of monsters.
Theo got up, stretched his arms, and walked over to her desk.
He pulled up another chair and sat down.
Yeonha smiled sideways, staring at him with those violet eyes full of determination.
"With the exploration data. And then, I want to review the map of the suspicious areas that the expedition team marked."
Theo snapped his fingers lightly, causing small holographic windows to appear around them.
"Great. Let's get this done before the girls finish playing."
Jeju Island - One of the many hideouts of the Chameleon Troupe.
Far from the holographic screens, inside a dark and abandoned factory used as a hideout by the Chameleon Troupe, the presence of many people together was felt for the first time in a while.
Stuck to the surface of the concrete floor, there were ten shadows. All ten colors, except for the currently empty seat of Black, were gathered in that place.
It was to discuss the seat that had been empty for three years.
The shadows were positioned around a round table, watching a video projected by Droon, a small, cute child. In the video, it was possible to see a person that Droon had personally witnessed.
It was part of Droon's Gift, an ability that allowed him to project or materialize anything he experienced with his five senses.
The ten shadows watched the videos, some in amazement and others in embarrassment.
"There. That's the end."
The video ended with a white-haired young man being struck by Cheok and then coming out from under the rocks as if nothing had happened.
"That's interesting..."
Someone with braided hair commented.
"Droon... You got a really good take."
Jain, not missing the chance, teased Cheok while laughing.
