Towards Meiberry Village

When Xavia and Vamery were ready to leave, Xavia and Vamery suddenly heard someone's voice greeting their ears.

"You have to hurry, you only have one week. Take care and good luck."

Then the sound disappeared. Xavia and Vamery immediately turned around to see who had spoken earlier. But when they turned around, they didn't see a single person standing behind them.

"Who was that?"

"I don't know either, miss. But from the sound, it sounds like Lyra's concubine."

"I also feel that way. But how could he know about our plans?"

"I don't know. But what is certain is that we have to hurry so that when we arrive at Meiberry Village in the afternoon, getting to the Marathas forest takes another 3-4 hours."

"Okay. Let's go."

Xavia and Vamery started leaving the palace to head for the Meiberry forest. Xavia was very excited and enjoyed the trip. Even though what they did was a punishment, according to Xavia this punishment was what she wanted the most. She can be free from learning to be a crown princess and queen for one boring week, which is a blessing for her. She thought of doing this more often in the future.

"You seem to have enjoyed it, miss."

"Of course. Me being able to leave the Palace freely and temporarily detached from such tedious duties is something I thought would never happen."

"Don't tell me, miss will do this often."

"Hehehe... you know, Vamery."

"Jeez, miss."

After traveling for 7 hours, they finally arrived at the entrance of Meiberry Village.

"A very different and very beautiful village. I think I'll be comfortable here."

"Of course. This village is very beautiful because it has Meiberry trees along the way. Even the flower petals from the Meiberry tree will give off light if they are hit by the reflection of the moon."

"What is a Meiberry tree?"

"That tree that is pink in color and has pink petals, miss. Did you not see it? Even the streets of this Village are decorated with Meiberry trees."

"You mean the ones like those cherry blossoms?"

"Cherry blossoms? What is it, miss? Does it look like the flower of the Meiberry tree?"

"Yes, the shape is very similar. Cherry blossoms also usually grow in Japan."

"Is that true? It turns out that in the world Miss also has that tree huh? It's just that the wording is different."

"You're right."

"Alright, let's continue our journey before we get to the night."

"So what? Didn't you say that the night is just as beautiful?"

"The Marathas Forest is different from this Meiberry Village, lady. The forest is scary at night because the inhabitants are very nosy and annoying."

"Who is it that inhabits the Marathas forest?"

"The Marathas forests are inhabited by supernatural beings dressed in white. We call them white devils. They only live in the Marathas jungle. Even though they are not dangerous, because of their annoyance, many don't want to come to the forest. Because the forest is rarely visited and cared for, that's why the King made the forest a place of seclusion so that it can be cleaned every month by Palace workers."

"You mean, originally the forest didn't belong to the King?"

"No. Every forest in this country belongs to the Village. If the forest is close to Meiberry Village, then the forest belongs to that Village. Likewise, the forbidden forest, Shima forest, and blue forest belong to the Village of Light. In Meiberry Village, there are two forests, namely the Marathas forest and the cloud forest. Usually, the people of this village will only go to the cloud forest and never want to go to the Marathas forest. So, King asked the villagers for permission to take over the Marathas forest and the villagers didn't mind at all."

Xavia nodded her head. She had heard of The Vriarealas Kingdom as a child before going to bed. Her mother always told her about The Vriarealas Kingdom. But what she heard before and what she saw now turned out to have a difference. She never knew that in this country there are such villages. It was truly an amazing experience and one she will never forget.

After traveling for 4 hours, they finally arrived in front of the Marathas forest. They hurriedly walked towards a small house in the middle of the forest before it got late because it was already 7 pm.

During the trip to the small house, Xavia faintly heard a small voice that greeted her ears.

The voice said, "welcome, princess."

Hearing that voice, of course, Xavia suddenly got goosebumps. After that voice was heard, not long after that there was the sound of giggling from an unknown woman.

"V-Vamery, is the h-house still f-far?"

"We'll be there in a bit, miss. Are you scared?"

Of course, Xavia was afraid. Even in his world, she is very afraid of ghosts. She would always go to her parent's room after watching a horror movie or during a blackout.

"O-of course I'm s-scared. A-are y-you n-not s-scared?"

"Not. As long as they're harmless, I won't be afraid."

"You are brave huh."

After a journey that was quite frightening for Xavia, they finally arrived at a small house special for exile. Xavia immediately ran into the house leaving Vamery who was still standing outside the house and laughing because of her mistress's behavior. She also entered the small house carrying some things.

For information, this free-motion exile is only done by those who are guilty. Vamery shouldn't have joined Xavia in this exile. But because of a direct order from Lyra's concubine, no one would stop Vamery from going with Xavia. Some of the royal concubines and bodyguards didn't know why Lyra had asked Vamery to come with Xavia. After all, it's only one week, and Vamery shouldn't come and stay in the palace like the other maids of Xavia. But they couldn't argue with Lyra's concubine, because Lyra's concubine was in almost the same position as Queen Afia. While Queen Afia herself did not object to Lyra's concubine's order, because she thought that the decision made by Lyra's concubine was correct.

Okay, back again with Xavia and Vamery who are now in the small house. Vamery put their luggage into a room that will be occupied by Xavia. After that, she came out to meet Xavia who was in the living room with some snacks they had bought during their trip to Meiberry Village.

"Do you know where the Village of the bandits is?"

"Of course, I know. The village is also not far from this village. Only traveled 2 hours after leaving this village. The name of that Village is Shizimanara Village."
