Hearing the approaching footsteps, Nathaniel gradually awoke.
His long eyelashes fluttered as he opened his beautiful eyes, catching sight of a familiar figure by his bedside.
"Nana… Nana…"
The girl in the light green dress reminded him so much of Sheena.
Her graceful curves resembled a blooming flower, captivating him completely.
In his hazy state, he almost forgot where and who he was, seeing only Sheena before him.
It was Sheena, without Elliot.
"Are you awake? It's time to drink your medicine. The previous doses were to detoxify you; this one is to solidify the effects."
The unfamiliar voice brought Nathaniel back to reality, and he realized that she was not Sheena; she was Kristen.
Once again, he had mistaken her for Sheena...
Perhaps because he had spent so much time with Kristen recently, Nathaniel's dreams were filled with memories of his younger days with Sheena.
"Thank you, and I apologize for my rudeness earlier."
Nathaniel quickly got up and regained his gentlemanly demeanor. Then, he took the medicine from the bedside table and drank it in one gulp.
"Don't worry about it," Kristen replied with a smile.
"Thank you. My recovery is all thanks to you. If your village ever needs my help, I will do everything I can."
After spending a few days together, Kristen no longer felt wary around Nathaniel.
She graciously accepted his offer, saying, "Well, we could use some help in the fields. If you don't mind the hard work, come with me."
Kristen's village was located in the southernmost part of Gurenchti, and it was warm all year round.
Moreover, it was the perfect time for planting corn.
It was rare that she took the initiative to ask him to work in the field, so Nathaniel immediately agreed, "Of course."
Something about Kristen's resemblance to Sheena made Nathaniel want to spend more time with her, not wanting to miss any chance to spend time with her.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
