Usha POV

I was working on a new project with all my helpers, Normally I would have left this mundane thing to other workers but this project was somewhat important for the whole tribe.

"Can we gather enough mana stones by the end of this month?" I questioned my helper, who was busy with appear work.

"Most probably, If we've never encountered any problem," She answered me quickly.

Suddenly the door of the room opened and I heard Alva calling to me, I didn't expect anything unusual but right after she said that she found someone in the forest, I couldn't help but worry thinking it might be some kind of spy or monster,

I observed the person Alva brought with her, she had an unusually flat chest and a little muscular body. Her face was beautiful and, her short hair somehow matched her perfectly.

Since I was suspicious of her, I decided to check on her and ask some questions but, Alva told me that she had lost her memory.historical

[A/N : She here refers to 'Nikol']

Even though she told me about her like that, I still couldn't shake the uncomfortable feeling I had about her,

After talking and questioning her for a fair amount of time, I was pretty sure he might not be a spy but, still, I decided not to be careless.

"Alva, take care of her for a few days, She might be a spy so keep a tight eye on her," I permitted them to leave, deep down I was happy that someone was able to take attention to Alva as she had unfriendly nature with her.

"Chief! Do you think it's the work of the Kano tribe?" The one who was helping me with my work asked while looking at me anxiously.

"I don't think so, but let's keep an eye on them for now," I went back to my work.

The world is becoming more hectic day by day and there are no limits to the threats to the tribe so I had to stay strong to help everyone.

"My goddess, you're still ignoring us," I thought while going back to work.

Alva POV

After leaving the chief meeting room with Nikol, I introduced myself to her. while walking down the hallway.

I felt pity seeing her all lost and at the same time I had this feeling of protectiveness when seeing her,

"Don't worry, Nikol, I will take care of you," I encouraged her to which she gave me a slight nod. I couldn't imagine how it feels to live without having any memory.

"I'm under your care, Alva," He said.

I first took him around the building to introduce the very place to him, since he was going to live with us for some time, I wanted him to know every place.

Luckily, I had nothing to do after today's hunting session so I had free time to do it,

"What do you think about this mansion?" I was curious about her ideas on it.

"It's really beautiful and has great designs, I honestly can't imagine how hard it's to build something like this," I felt happy to hear her compliments.

"Of course, it's our great workers who did these things,"

I've never felt this boastful about anything, I honestly don't understand why I was trying to impress him, Until now I had never done something like that to anyone.

After visiting around the mansion, I took him to the training area which was filled with girls. I noticed some redness on his face but, I had no idea why he was like that.

"This is our training area, our girls practice here to hunt monsters most of the time," Some of the girls were looking at us because it was a strange sight for me to be with someone else.

Most of the people in the tribe are considering me as a silent and calm person but, that wasn't the case. I wanted to hang out with everyone just like normal but, most of them consider me as their superior so I had no choice but to act like one," I thought while looking at all the girls who were using swords, spears, and bows in the training grounds.

"Are you interested in learning how to fight? From your body type, I can tell you can achieve great strength," I honestly had no idea how he had so flat of a chest, and his muscles were not bad for a newbie, I had confidence in training him,"

"I like swords but, I never used one," He said making me confused.

"If he hasn't used a sword in his life, how did he survive in the forest for too long," I thought while looking at him.

"Nikol, can't you remember anything before you woke up on the beach?" I questioned him because even the slightest memory might be useful for us in this situation.

"I-i don't, when I woke up I was on the beach so I entered the forest to find something to eat since I was hungry then only I met you," I knew he wasn't telling the full story because sometimes he just avoid my eye contact but, I didn't want to pry into it too much.

As long as he has no intention of hurting anyone in the tribe, I had no problem with a little lie.

"Nikol, do you want to train with me?" I asked looking at him.

"Can I? I want to but, I don't want to be a hindrance to you," His attitude was so pleasant that I felt so happy to have someone like that as my pupil.

"It's okay, I will take you hunting tomorrow, you will be able to learn about many things, don't worry about your protection as long as you have me, nobody will be able to harm you," I felt like I got a new sister who's close to me than others.

"Take care of me, Alva"

His words and his smile and the way he behave everything were so pleasing to the eye. I gave him a little smile while taking him to a house near the main mansion.
