The emperor, just like everyone else, was also truly curious about this âDivine Healerâ.
Having not even met this âDivine Healerâ the emperor did not want to overtake their work and ruin any chance of becoming friends with them.
So, the next best thing, would be to make sure that it would end here, in hope that the Right Minister will keep his estate well behaved from now on!
But when the emperor had asked Matthew about the âDivine healerâ, all he got was a deep smile, that clearly wasnât meant for him at allâ¦
As an Emperor, he had the power to invite this âDivine Healerâ into the palace, yet there was no word on how to give this invitation out, as the âDivine Healerâ had literally disappeared!
And Matthew, even though he was busy, he still had time to read and laugh about his Princess.
He hadnât been surprised at all when he had found out that Sahara didnât âhealâ the Right Minister, nor was he surprised when his subordinate had lost her for a whole dayâ¦
Matthew silently helped send out that rumor of a âDivine Healerâ, helping Talon and the Right Minister, and to keep his Princessâs identity a secret...He was also really interested in finding out how everything at the Rolland Estate had all occurred!
It was a short, sweet rest, from what he was doing, making him miss her. Yet, he still had to clear his name as soon as possible!
Traveling back to the prison, Matthew picked out his âwitnessâ, from watching for a few days, and silently left. Of course, he knew that this person was one of the Crowned Princeâs men, but it wouldnât be the first time to change someoneâs allegianceâ¦
Once he could get this person to admit to his crime, and even attempt to get another âwitnessâ, his name will be cleared. Having the evidence already with the emperor, with the note stating that a letter had indeed been left, but it had gone missing, nearly everything was ready.
Sahara didnât quite know but sometimes even spiritual essence can be evidence in this placeâ¦Such as who and when, and Matthew had put in his spiritual essence upon both notes, just for this purpose!

A week went by, and finally, the people in the capital started to calm down and started to talk about something else. More people were employed to work at the Rolland Estate and the Right Minister was now going to the palace daily again. Talon took over his elder brotherâs duties and Samuel followed him.
Samuel had continued to stay with Talon all of this time, yet Talon sat him down. Now that things were getting back to normal, he wanted Samuel to finally go to the Academy, to become stronger.
At first Samuel had not wanted to, but after Talon had said that his sister might need him in the future, Samuel stopped and seriously thought about it.
Seeing that his sister was indeed alive, there were no more objections, and he promised his father that he will be someone that his sister could depend on...
Talon also got back into his Martial Arts and cultivation, when he had the time, not bothering on anything else...Even though the old madam wanted him to remarry...
Thenâ¦There was Saharaâ¦
She had no idea that the emperor had finally stopped crumbling and was impatiently waiting for Matthew to finish the investigation upon the Crowned Prince.
Nor did she have a clue that Matthew was still unable to even return back to his estate and had the title âmurderer of royalsâ still above his headâ¦
Sahara also had no idea that Samuel was going to attendâ¦The same Academy!
She did not know that people were looking for this âDivine Healerââ¦If they had found out that this âDivine Healerâ was lazing around and currently living in a caveâ¦
After Sahara had left the Rolland Estate that day, she had âcelebratedâ with a few drinks.
She played the night awayâ¦Aloneâ¦And then, slept like a baby.
It was a little strange, as she had felt a little pain go through her for some reason. What she had felt, was the last remnants of her âbadâ side dissipate, only leaving her âgoodâ side once again. It would be awesome to state that itâs like a superpower but, the pain that started was more to do with her conscious mind and feelings. Feelings of what her actions had taken her and realizing what she had really doneâ¦

It might seem that Sahara is emotionless in the lifeâs that she had taken, but she wasnât. She somehow knew that there was probably at least one person waiting for someone to come home, to see them again by having them walk through a front door at any moment!
It wasnât like she had been put in the position of losing a loved one very much, it was more like she had been sensitive to whenever she watched movies or read books and really put herself into those shoes andâ¦It was just sad.
Even if those people werenât the best and nicest of people, that she had killed, it didnât mean that they didnât have family or someone, even just a partner in crimeâ¦That they would leave behindâ¦
There could be a few children now that doesnât have a father or mother anymore. There might be an elderly mother who lost her child, and what for?
Where they all blindly following someoneâs order? Did they even know what they were doing at all? Did they know for sure that they could die that day? Did they die without even the chance to say goodbye?
Sahara understood that population could go out of control and perhaps thatâs why wars werenât the worst of things to happen butâ¦
What does it matterâ¦
They were gone and people will mourn, and hopefully, someone will learn from it allâ¦She just had to slowly make her way out of this mood of hers! Soâ¦Knowing that she doesnât regret what she had done and would probably do it again, simply to save her loved ones, that helped her from going into depressionâ¦
Sahara said a fond farewell to those who she had killed and hoped to help people more once again, so that she could make up for it, and that was that!
The next day, Sahara didnât feel so good because of the alcohol, so she took the day off and leisurely slumped around.
She noticed, when she couldnât help but look at herself once again in the mirror, that her eyes werenât glowing anymore, they were just a blood red color.
The day after that, Sahara checked her eyes and found that they could go back to being brown, if she used her spiritual essence to change it.
After she finished cleansing the rest of her, she did some Martial Arts and some cultivationâ¦It really was a few days ofâ¦Nothing!
*Itâs even a little bit boring typing how boring it is!*
Sahara hadnât trained with her leaf stars for a while, so when she did it on this day, she was surprised that she could see Purple Haven in the distance. It wasnât like she could see the whole lot, just the walls in the far expanseâ¦
Again, her distance had gone further!
She had tried this when she had reached Green Haven, after she had come back, and had been unable to see Purple Haven thenâ¦Or, maybe it was that strange, little dotâ¦
Actually, her cultivation base was at the peak of rank four!
Perhaps using her powers like she had had helped her level up? Or had it been so long since she had last looked?
It just felt all so sudden!
Ohâ¦
Sahara still wasnât quite herself, as for a whole day of being alone not one word escaped from her mouth.
For some reason, she had felt like she had spoken enoughâ¦Even Naruto wasnât enough to make her speak!
She guessed that she had sort of missed the silence, or somethingâ¦
Sahara spent a bit of time watching the little shithead, who seemed to have changed a little as well. He now had four tails and seemed to not be so scared anymore. He didnât go into her clothes, as he used to, and would even venture out a few times on his own.
Considering that Narutoâs tails had been growing, as he had âdingedâ in ranking up, Sahara hardly had to even guess what had happened. It might mean something yucky, like eating any, anyâ¦Any kind of meat, was about to help âdingâ him upâ¦But, gaining another tail only made him cuterâ¦How awesome was it to have something so similar to Kurama! She knows that it wasnât like the anime, but still, it made her slightly happy that she had some sort of connection all the time now to her former lifeâ¦
Sahara pondered for quite some time, whether or not she would stay as a âYoung Masterâ or âYoung Missâ.
Having been found out twice, really had broken off her want to act as a male. Her voice was already something that naturally sounded feminine, and she didnât feel natural, having her muscles so big all the time!
But, for the life of her, she couldnât find a solutionâ¦Sahara guess, at that moment, she was still too lazy and leisurely to figure anything out!
Having had accomplished such a big âmissionâ back at the Rolland Estate, may be the reason Sahara was happily doing and thinking of nothing, for a whileâ¦
That night, two things happened, that helped her. She ended up having a nightmare, of her daughterâs throat being slashed once again, and she finally spoke some words to Naruto. Well, all it was were apologizes for waking him up, but they were still spoken wordsâ¦
Feeling herself once again in the morning, Sahara found that she was finally able to make a choice, about being a male or female.
So, she converted back to being female and had to think of yet another name that she was going to use.
Her muscles went smaller, she grew her breasts again and she used one of her motherâs stolen golden pins to put her hair up in a way that she liked it.
Her clothes were still that of males, but she reallyâ¦Really didnât want to wear female clothes!
Even though Sahara didnât have them on her, giving her a reason not to wear themâ¦Sahara still felt like that she might have to make some kind of feminine bogan dress or something, as a new fashion line to this era!
Beforehand, her male name was going to be Kirito, but now, she was wondering if she could even use that name, being a girl.
Deciding on just going back to her other, original name, Sahara shrugged.
She was an unknown person, if she was to use âSaharaâ it probably wonât bring too much attentionâ¦Or will it?
It was strange, how having a nightmare seemed to get her back to normal, as she was thinkingâ¦Who cares if she uses the name Sahara, who cares if she says that sheâs from some other place!?
Omigod! Thatâs it! Iâll get away with wearing maleâs clothes if I say Iâm from another Haven! I could say itâs how they dress there or something! Oh, and if they ask questions, I could show them my red eyes and say Iâm from âRed Havenâ, Ha! Actually, there probably is a real Red Havenâ¦
Looking out into the distance, Sahara remembered something that she may have forgotten in the last couple of daysâ¦She wanted to do what she wantedâ¦
Having her name as Sahara is easier for her, and if it brings her problemsâ¦Sheâll just deal with it head on! Wearing something that brings her comfort, is what she wanted! And it was as simple as that!
Being glad that she had spent a while to try and figure all this out, Sahara was finally happy with the decisions that she had madeâ¦
Breathing in and out, she could feel like a new chapter was startingâ¦
Haha, yeah, the chapterâs calledâ¦âSheâs coming!â Orâ¦âHey, that girl that isnât normally in the book is here!â
She closed her eyes and felt the slight breeze blow around her.
Sahara had a major goalâ¦That was doing what she wanted and getting away with it. She also had a few minor goalâsâ¦That was learning the âDispersionâ meditation and becoming rich!
Finally feeling like her life was her own again, Sahara couldnât wait to continue on with it!
