Reality slapped Loraine in the face as soon as she arrived.
This was her first tour too. What a cruel way to say her dreams for a carefree and lazy life wouldn't go as planned.
Since the other side's identity appeared to be more important and higher than hers, Loraine decided to lay low.
Her bodyguards were already the cream of the crop, but the other side had better ones. There was no need to endanger her life and that of her guards.
There may still be a chance for her carefree and lazy life so didn't want any trouble.

While Loraine was receiving a report on her end, in another bungalow, a man was also receiving a report from his guards.
"Sir, another group of people had just arrived. They immediately began protecting the area on the right side," his guard said.
"How about those people's abilities?" the man inquired with a look of surprise on his face.
"They are all very skilled, just a notch below us."
"Did you see who they are guarding?"
"No, Sir. We couldn't see clearly, but it appeared to be a lady.
She just came up the mountain a while ago.
What should we do, Sir?"
"Don't engage in conflict with the other side.
Simply ignore them.
And don't give them the chance to know my identity."
The man came here solely to avoid his grandfather's sight.
He thought that other people of high status did not go to places like this, so he chose to stay here.
His thought appeared to be correct, as he was the only person with his identity who had come to stay for the past six months.
But now, another odd one came. He just does not know the purpose of the other party yet.
Or was his location already compromised?
No, that couldn't be.
They said it was a lady. His grandfather would not use a lady to drag him back, would he?

Loraine had already been at Mount Kang for seven days.
Thankfully, she was still able to thoroughly enjoy her stay.
The one on the left side hadn't caused any trouble for her so her people had been very careful not to cause any trouble for them either.
Mr. Mo and Ms. Lorna said that the one on the left side must have been here for quite a while since they had occupied a vast part of the left side.
It meant Loraine was the one who intruded on their stay so she ensured not to do anything that could offend them.
They came here first after all.
'Maybe it's a rich old man from another affluent family,' Loraine thought.
After all, this place was good for recovery.
Perhaps it was a sick old man who needed to be in a place with fresh oxygen and a peaceful environment to be able to recuperate.
If it was like that, it was understandable that he had stronger guards than Loraine since it meant he was the head of the household.
Loraine was just the daughter and not the head. Though of course, her position was very important too since she was the only heir of Rand Antares.
She didn't have any siblings so if someone would be targeted by people with a grudge against her father, it would be her.
Loraine hoped no one would target her though.
After all, this was her second life. And she just wanted to live much more freely than her first life.
Loraine inhaled deeply.
'The air here is so fresh. It would be nice to live here.'
The sound of the breeze gently brushing the trees and plants was relaxing.
The birds chirping every now and then make it somewhat lively in a natural way.
It was completely unlike what she used to hear in her apartment back in her old world. It was the sound of cars passing by and loud honks when they got irritated during traffic jams.
Living like this was a dream come true for her.
Loraine was also captivated by the beauty of sunrise and sunset here.
Here at the summit of Mt. Kang, every morning, she could see how the golden rays of the sun colored the sky and all the other mountains, waterfalls, and other things her eyes could see.
Likewise, in the afternoon, she felt how majestic the sunset was as it filled the horizon with red and orange colors until it swept all the colors in the surroundings.
In her past life, one of her hobbies was reading, but because she was always busy, she didn't have enough time to read.
Thus, this time, she spent her time reading as much as she wanted while reclining on a chair and thoroughly relaxing.
When she got tired of reading, she would go out for a stroll. Occasionally, she would also take care of the vegetable garden.
As for the food, she would sometimes go to a vegetarian restaurant nearby or have her chef prepare it.
Loraine was always accompanied by Sarah, Ms. Lorna, and Mr. Mo. Thus, she did not even feel lonely.
Plus all the natural scenery here. Everything was perfect. Being in nature truly brought them all peace of mind.
Even Mr. Mo, who was normally stoic, could be seen with a small smile on his face.
Sarah and Ms. Lorna even teased him about it.
Her guards could be more relaxed if they weren't so wary of the people on the other side.
But thankfully, the other side was not provoking them either and was also avoiding conflict.
'Well, I guess they are here just to relax too,' Loraine was assured with that.
And today, she was set to go into the forests.
"Miss Loraine, everything is ready," Mr. Mo said. They had scouted things first to ensure Loraine would not be in danger.
"Perfect. Well done, Mr. Mo," Loraine was excited to do some scouring.
"Are you sure you want to look for herbs?" Sarah asked with worry since the former Loraine hadn't done this before.
