After leaving the mountain, Rhea swore to avoid that cold-hearted dragon no matter what, she decided to stay away from him as she didn't want to feel excited at his mere presence again, she had already pushed away the thoughts of their kiss, and instead concentrated on other matters, like starting anew in the dragon realm.
The most important thing now was to get rid of her wound and make sure it didn't scar. Thus, she spent most of her time with Gail now.
Nevertheless, when Rhea visited Gail, Gail informed her that the king had called for all the relatives to attend the royal family dinner, and Rhea was expected to accompany them as a guest in the palace. However, Rhea did not believe it was alright, as none of the family members had bothered to invite her since her arrival. But then she discovered that Gail was actually taken as one of the royal family members, she was Prince Zachary's adopted daughter.
