Xiaoxue had been living among the dwarves for a longer time than Rosvisser, so her home was already equipped with household items sized for a normal human.

Since the dwarven woman had left for a while, Rosvisser decided to stay with Xiaoxue for a few days.

She would take care of her until the woman returned.

After the woman left, Xiaoxue sat alone on the edge of the bed, holding the family photo in her hands.

She stared down at it silently.

Rosvisser watched the quiet girl.

The woman had said that Xiaoxue had lost her memories due to war trauma—

She didn’t even remember her own name.

And yet, she still remembered her parents.

That must be incredibly painful for her.

To have no memories of them,

To only know that they were irreplaceable,

To desperately try to recall them—

And yet, no matter how hard she searched,

All she could find was an empty void.

Rosvisser made sure Aju was settled, then walked over to Xiaoxue’s bedside.

She crouched down again,

Keeping her gaze slightly lower than the girl’s,

She deliberately left out her title as queen.

That would only create an unnecessary sense of distance between them.

Xiaoxue lifted her gaze to meet Rosvisser’s silver eyes,
