Elisa casually intertwined her fingers with Gareth's, a smile curving his lips.
He reciprocated the gesture, their connection evident. Addressing Anna, Elisa remarked, "As you can
see, this is where we stand."
Anna's anger flared, her whip cracking through the air, a sharp sound accompanying its motion.
Undaunted, Elisa faced her with unwavering resolve while Gareth stood resolute. Their postures
radiated unison and confidence.
With her whip raised, Anna aimed at Elisa. The onlookers averted their eyes, unable to witness the
potential harm to such a beautiful woman. No one wanted to see her beauty marred.

whip, Gareth gripped it firmly, determined to shield Elisa from Anna's aggression.
Anna shot him an annoyed look, suggesting Gareth was some kind of letdown that had deserted her.
Elisa furrowed her brow and moved closer, reaching out to take the whip from Gareth's hand. Her eyes
reflected an unexpected mix of concern and compassion.
She asked gently, "Are you okay?"
Touched by her consideration, Gareth felt his injuries were justified. He shook his head, signaling that
he was fine.
Elisa exasperatedly scolded him, "Why did you block it for me? You knew I'd dodge, didn't you? You
knew the whip wouldn't hurt me!"
She held onto Gareth's hand, the one he was trying to pull away, and carefully pried open his clenched
fingers, revealing the cut in his palm. It looked gory; it must have hurt a great deal.
"It was a reflex,"
Gareth remarked. He knew there was a high chance of Elisa dodging the whip, but he couldn't bear
any risk of her getting hurt.
Moreover, his purpose of making Elisa concerned for him had been achieved.

could react, Elisa fiercely lashed out.

taken aback, a mixture of confusion, embarrassment, and rage clouding her expression.

rules. Garry and I ended up here due to unavoidable circumstances. We apologize if we unknowingly
went against your local norms and are prepared to face any consequences."
"But what bothers me is your misuse of power to fulfill your desires. You can't intimidate or attempt to
pull us apart! It's rather astonishing that the chief's daughter behaves so ruthlessly, wielding her whip to
suppress those who are vulnerable and innocent!"

first!

villagers, fostering the belief that she was a privileged woman who could throw tantrums without
consequences.

—she never had friends—Anna had grown accustomed to it.
And now, someone boldly asserted that her behavior was wrong. Anna's heart swelled with a tumult of
emotions.
