Inside the inn, Rowena ran into Sir Damian. Sir Damian who noticed Rowena's presence immediately hugged the woman tightly.
"Finally you're back. For the past few days, I've been very worried about you," said Sir Damian.
Rowena smiled a little hearing that. Only this time did she feel the same warmth she had felt in the past. "Then where is the Prince Helios and Cedric?"
"They're both in my room. Let's go there together," said Sir Damian.
Sir Damian and Rowena walked together to Sir Damian's room. In the room there was already Sir Cedric who was sitting on a chair with his head bowed and Prince Helios who was looking at the surroundings from the window in the room. When they heard the sound of the door opening their attention was focused on Rowena and Sir Damian. m Sir Cedric and Prince Helios immediately walked over to Rowena.
"Are you okay? Did you get hurt while you were there? Why is your hair so short?" asked Prince Helios as he took both of Rowena's hands.
Sir Damian immediately let go of Prince Helios's hand that was holding his sister's hands. "If you want to talk to him, there's no need to hold her hand either."
"I'm fine and you guys don't have to worry about that. Then I cut my hair on purpose so no one else would recognize it," Rowena replied.
Sir Cedric who had not spoken a word suddenly hit Rowena on the head. "Haven't you gone too far? How can you just run your own strategy without telling me or Damian."
Rowena walked over to the bed and sat comfortably on it. "That's no big deal. Now all we have to do is go back to Valeccio and wait. I firmly believe that within six days, someone who is representative of the people of Scarka will come to us to hand over his kingdom."
"Alright, we will follow your plan. Cedric, quickly prepare the horse carriage for our return to Valeccio," Prince Helios ordered.
On the same day they quickly left Scarka. Arriving at Valeccio, Prince Helios follows Rowena's plan. He kept waiting until the day Rowena said came. The day went by quickly without realizing it, until the sixth day had arrived. As Rowena said, someone claiming to be Scarka's representative came with a letter of surrender and royal seal on Helios. Of course Helios accepted all of that happily.
According to the information he heard, King Scarka had been killed by the people. His corpse was hung in front of the palace gates for several days and then served as food for birds in the forest. At the same time the people of Scarka are also looking for Cleatin to kill because she is the concubine who has incited King Scarka.
After successfully getting Scarka, they continued the conquest again with Rowena's brilliant strategies and ideas. One by one the kingdoms were conquered. Within two years Sunverro's troops with the help of Rowena succeeded in conquering all the kingdoms in the Northern continent. Now all the kingdoms on both the western and northern continents were under the auspices of the Sunverro Empire.
Helios quickly sent a letter to his father, who was King Sunverro or now called Emperor Sunverro, regarding their victory in this conquest. Initially they targeted ten years to conquer all the kingdoms in the western and northern continents, but with Rowena's presence, they managed to conquer all of them in just five years.
After sending the news of their victory, Sunverro's troops prepared to return to Sunverro after a long wait. The soldiers were very busy preparing for their return later to meet their wives, children, and parents. Unlike Rowena who is very relaxed and doesn't care about anything.
"Have you decided where to stay when we get to Sunverro?" asked Prince Helios.
"Maybe I'll sleep in the tree for a while until I get half the fortune of Marquess Squella," Rowena joked.
Prince Helios looked at Rowena with a serious look. "Stop joking, Rowena. There's no way you'd be sleeping in a tree. Even if it was the only thing you could do, I would never allow it."
Sir Damian who came out of nowhere tapped Prince Helios on the shoulder from behind. "Don't be ridiculous, Your Majesty. Whether you allow it or not, Rowena will be staying at the same time as staying in my mansion."
"Living with you? Why does Rowena have to live with you?" asked Prince Helios.
Sir Damian puffed out his chest with confidence. "Have you forgotten that I'm her brother? After we get back to Sunverro, I'll put her name in the Squella family book anyway."
"That's up to you. As long as Rowena doesn't stay in the streets or in the trees," replied Prince Helios.
"Hey, didn't I ever say I didn't want to be in your family book!" Rowena scolded who felt that her opinion was being ignored at all.
Sir Damian didn't care about Rowena's scolding at all. He immediately went to Rowena and hugged her tightly then rubbed her cheek with Rowena's cheek. "I don't care about that. The point is I'm still going to put your name on the Squella family register. So what dress are you going to wear to the welcome party?"
Rowena pushed Sir Damian hard to get away from him immediately. "Welcoming party?"
"Because we succeeded in conquering all the kingdoms in the western and northern continents, His Majesty the King also held a welcoming party for us for seven days and seven nights. Then we will attend only on the second day. Therefore, I must know what dress to wear. I want you to wear to the party so I can prepare it quickly," explained Sir Damian.
"At this welcoming party, His Majesty the King and Queen will also be present, right?" Rowena asked.
"Of course," Sir Damian answered quickly.
Rowena immediately smiled with satisfaction and drew a sketch of a dress on a piece of paper. When she was done she handed it over to Sir Damian. "I want a dress like this. Can you prepare it for me?"
Sir Damian pinched Rowena's right cheek because he was annoyed with his one sister. "This is a very easy thing for me. Of course I will have it ready quickly. I will immediately send a sketch of this dress to my head housekeeper."
Prince Helios, who had been listening to the conversation between the two of them, immediately hit Sir Damian's hand which was still pinching Rowena's cheek. "Stop doing that even though you're her brother, Damian. You're not biologically siblings either, so you shouldn't have too much physical contact with Rowena."
Sir Damian was forced to stop pinching Rowena's cheeks and said, "Are you jealous that you can't do the same as I did?"
"What do you mean, Damian? I've never envied you over such a trivial thing."
Rowena also left the two men who were still continuing their fight.
"I can't wait to see what happens at Sunverro next. Just wait for my revenge, you bastard," Rowena muttered.
