Within a few months, the snow finally melted and was replaced by a warm spring. The days at Alison's residence had been peaceful these past few months. Ariana spends her time learning to manage the Alison area, while her grandfather focuses on convincing some neutral group nobles to be wary of Queen Melisa and Crown Prince Emilio. Duke Andrew didn't simply ask the nobles to support Prince Raoul. The Duke only wished they could see Prince Raoul's abilities and judge who had more right to the throne.
One thing that bothered Ariana a bit was that Queen Melisa and Crown Prince Emilio had been too calm since Prince Raoul left. Judging by their personalities, Ariana was afraid that the two of them were planning to harm Prince Raoul at the border. Ariana had tried many times to ask Prince Raoul about the matter. But apart from the reports that there was an oddity among the bandits invading the border area, Raoul had never told her anything else.
