Peace Hunter

Duchess Arlet slowly opened her eyes. After that, she slowly got up from her bed.

"Where am I?" Duchess Arlet said, looking around the room.

Meanwhile, Irene, Duke Louis, and I were startled to hear a woman's voice in the room we were in. The three of us immediately turned to the bed where Duchess Arlet lay. Turning to the bed, we saw that Duchess Arlet had already woken up and was now sitting on the bed, looking at us. Her face when she opened her eyes looked exactly like Irene's.

Duke Louis and Irene were very surprised to see Duchess Arlet awake. Meanwhile, Duchess Arlet continued to look at us, studying our faces. At first, Duchess Arlet looked at Duke Louis, who was shocked.

"Darling..." said Duchess Arlet.

After Duchess Arlet said that, Duke Louis seemed unable to hold back his tears. He began to cry.

"Yes... darling... it's me..." Duke Louis said, sobbing.

"Why are you crying, darling?" asked Duchess Arlet, looking confused as she saw Duke Louis crying.

"No..... darling. I'm just... moved to see you... regain consciousness," said Duke Louis.

"Regain consciousness?" said Duchess Arlet.

Duchess Arlet seemed confused by what Duke Louis had said. Although still confused, Duchess Arlet, who had previously been looking at Duke Louis, now turned to Irene.

"You..." said Duchess Arlet.

Duchess Arlet looked surprised as she looked at Irene.

"...Are you Irene?" asked Duchess Arlet.

After Duchess Arlet asked that, Irene immediately rushed over to Duchess Arlet and hugged her.

"Yes, mother. It's me, Irene," said Irene.

I couldn't see Irene's face, but I knew she was crying. I could tell from her sobbing voice. Well, that was understandable, considering her mother, who had been in a long sleep, had woken up.

Meanwhile, Irene continued to hug Duchess Arlet tightly. Duchess Arlet, who had been surprised by Irene's sudden embrace, also began to hug Irene.

"You've grown up, haven't you, Irene?" said Duchess Arlet.

"Of course, it's been 11 years since you fell asleep," said Irene, still hugging Duchess Arlet.

"I slept for 11 years?" asked Duchess Arlet, looking confused.

"Yes, Mother," said Irene.

Duchess Arlet fell silent. She seemed to be trying to remember something.

"Ah, I remember. I used the San Lucia family's forbidden technique when fighting 'that creature' in the Orokho Mountains. After using it, I lost all memory, and suddenly I was here. So I've been asleep for 11 years because of that technique, huh?" said Duchess Arlet.

"Yes, Mother. I miss you so much," said Irene.

"I'm sorry I made you wait 11 years for me to wake up," said Duchess Arlet.

"It's okay, Mother. You don't need to apologize," said Irene.

"You're all grown up now. It's been 11 years, it's a shame I haven't been able to see you grow up these past 11 years," said Duchess Arlet.

Irene and Duchess Arlet continued to hug each other. Meanwhile, Duke Louis slowly began to walk toward Irene and Duchess Arlet, who were embracing. Duchess Arlet realized Duke Louis was walking toward her and turned to look at him.

"Darling...you've gotten older, haven't you?," said Duchess Arlet with a smile.

Duke Louis, who had been walking slowly at first, ran toward Duchess Arlet and hugged her.

"Darling! You're finally awake!!" said Duke Louis in a very loud voice.

Duke Louis said this as he hugged Duchess Arlet. Duchess Arlet accepted the hug.

"Oh my, your voice is so loud. You must have been holding back all this time. I apologize for not being able to be with you for the past 11 years," said Duchess Arlet.

"It's okay. You don't need to apologize," said Duke Louis.

Duke Louis's voice sounded like he was crying as he said this. Duke Louis continued to hug Duchess Arlet. Irene also continued to hug Duchess Arlet. The three of them were now hugging each other. I smiled as I watched them embrace.

After that, the door to the room we were in suddenly opened. I immediately turned toward the open door. Through the open door, I saw Commander Mina and several knights entering the room.

"I apologize, Lord Duke. We forced our way into this room because we heard Lord Duke's voice being very loud earlier," said Commander Mina.

The loud noise Commander Mina heard seemed to be the sound of Duke Louis hugging Duchess Arlet. After that, Commander Mina and several knights who had entered the room looked toward the bed. They were surprised to see Duchess Arlet awake from her long slumber.

"Miss Duchess...you're awake?!?!," asked Commander Mina, surprised.

Duchess Arlet turned to Commander Mina, who had questioned her.

"You...are you Mina? You look very different since the last time I saw you. Well, that's only natural, since the last time I saw you was 11 years ago," said Duchess Arlet.

"That's right, Miss Duchess. I didn't expect you to recognize me so immediately."

"All of you, immediately inform Commander Asier, Lord Irwin, Her Majesty the Queen, and everyone else that Miss Duchess has awakened from her long slumber," said Commander Mina to her knights.

"Yes, Commander," said the knights of Duke San Lucia.

The knights immediately rushed out of the room to share the news.

"Hearing the knights call you 'commander', so you're now the commander of Duke San Lucia's knights, Mina," said Duchess Arlet.

"That's right, Miss Duchess," said Commander Mina.

"I also heard you call Asier 'Commander Asier'. Has he become a commander too?" asked Duchess Arlet.

"That's right, Miss Duchess. Commander Asier is currently a commander of the San Fulgen Kingdom's army. He is the commander of the 'Frost Wolf' troop, tasked with guarding the western region of the San Fulgen Kingdom, which includes the San Angela region," said Commander Mina.

"I see. So Asier is now a commander, huh? Because I slept for 11 years, I couldn't see my son when he was inaugurated as a commander," said Duchess Arlet.

Duchess Arlet's face looked sad as she said this.

"Miss Duchess..." said Commander Mina.

After that, Miss Duchess suddenly turned to me.

"Rather than that, I've seen you in this room with my husband and Irene since earlier, but I haven't spoken to you at all. First of all, could you introduce yourself to me?" asked Duchess Arlet.

"Yes, Miss Duchess. My name is Rid Archie, Miss Duchess," I said, bowing in respect.

"Rid Archie?" said Duchess Arlet.

"Yes, Miss Duchess," I said.

Duchess Arlet remained silent for a moment after I told her my name. She seemed to be contemplating something.

"Rid Archie, for some reason, I feel like I've heard or heard of the name Archie in your name, but I can't quite remember it. Well, forget that for now. Are you related to Irene and my husband? Since you're here, you must be related to Irene and my husband, which is why you're here," said Duchess Arlet.

"That's right, Miss Duchess. I am indeed related to Lord Duke and Irene. That's because I'm currently Irene's boyfriend," I said.

Duchess Arlet looked shocked after hearing my words.

"Boyfriend?!?! Is that true?!" asked Duchess Arlet.

"That's right, Mother. Rid is currently my boyfriend," Irene said.

Irene slowly began to finish hugging Duchess Arlet and returned to her seat on the chair beside Duchess Arlet's bed. As she sat there, Irene was seen rubbing her eyes. Meanwhile, as Irene finished hugging Duchess Arlet, Duke Louis continued to hug her.

"So you really do have a boyfriend, Irene?" Duchess Arlet asked Irene.

"Yes, Mother," Irene said.

"Even so, I still didn't expect my daughter to have a boyfriend," said Duchess Arlet, still shocked.

"What does that mean, Mother?" Irene asked.

"Well, considering your past, I thought you'd have a hard time finding a boyfriend or partner, so I didn't expect you to have one now. Is it possible that your personality is different now from before?" asked Duchess Arlet.

"No, my personality hasn't changed at all, Mother. Come on, Mother, let's not talk about this anymore," said Irene.

"Alright, alright, Irene. Then I'll say something else to your boyfriend. Rid Archie, I thank you," said Duchess Arlet.

"Thank you? Why are you thanking me all of a sudden, Miss Duchess?" I asked.

"You were the one who woke me from my long sleep, weren't you? That's why I thank you," said Duchess Arlet.

"That's true, Miss Duchess. But how did you know? Didn't Irene and Lord Duke tell you that I was the one who woke you?" I asked.

"They both haven't said it yet, but I know for myself that you were the one who woke me. When I saw you, I felt the same magical power that still surrounds me. That's why I knew you were the one who woke me with your magical power," said Duchess Arlet.

"So that's how you knew I was the one who woke you," I said.

"Yes. Once again, I thank you, Rid Archie," said Duchess Arlet.

"Yes, you're welcome, Miss Duchess," I said.

Meanwhile, in a building located in the San Angela area.

Commander Asier was seen communicating with someone through a communication crystal.

"What did you say?!?! Mother has awakened from her long sleep?! Are you serious?!"

"Okay, I'll be home now!" said Commander Asier.

-

In the royal palace, the White Palace.

Queen Kayana was also seen communicating with someone through her communication crystal.

"What?!?! Lady Arlet has awakened from her long sleep?!" exclaimed Queen Kayana.

-

News of Duchess Arlet's awakening from her long sleep began to spread throughout the city of San Lucia. The news would eventually spread throughout the San Fulgen kingdom the following day after Diganta published a newspaper about Duchess Arlet's awakening from her long sleep.
