Unfounded Worries

Iris's condition has improved, she is now sitting in the gazebo helping Doe sort the strawberries, Thomas is sleeping not far from her while Morgan has disappeared with Alita, he said there are important things to discuss between them.

Snow White came with other dwarves, she brought several rabbits, it looks like they had been hunting, Iris didn't expect that the gentle attitude of the legendary princess had changed drastically because of the White Wizard.

"For dinner." Snow White-handed her prey to Doe, the dwarf in the red hat greeted her with joy and immediately went to the kitchen.

Snow White looked at the sleeping Thomas, then smiled at Iris meaningfully.

"He won't be able to help you, he's dying." Iris stood in front of Snow White, she narrowed her eyes. In Iris mind right now just thinking about how to get Thomas to find the second stone and immediately break the White Wizard's curse, she didn't imagine Thomas would fight the White Wizard.

"I know, but it's fate. Same with you, Red Witch." Snow White said in a graceful tone, she didn't lose the dignity of a princess in front of Iris.

"Don't call me that." Iris glared, sitting back down in the gazebo.

"You can't keep acting like nothing happened, as long as you're alive, fate will always haunt you." Snow White sat beside Iris quietly, the witch exhaled roughly.

"You're threatening me?"

"No. I'm just telling the truth, Red Witch."

Iris sneered, she was confused by her thoughts, her fingers intertwined, she bit her lip nervously, Snow White saw her and smiled, she stroked Iris's shoulder.

"Think it over."

On the other hand, Morgan was sitting across from Alita, the vampire's pale skin was flushed in the sun's reflection, she occasionally waved her hand over her face.

"Can you put on some clothes? I know you're hot, but I'm not interested." Alita expressed her discomfort, her pale cheeks turning red, either from anger or from the heat of Morgan's appearance.

Morgan is currently sitting shirtless, his tan skin glows in the sun, his stomach muscles stand out perfectly, he looks both intimidating and sexy at the same time.

Alita almost reaches out her hand to touch Morgan's stomach, but she holds it back.

A vampire should not be fascinated by werewolves.

Morgan tugged at his shirt and put it on in an instant. Alita looked here and there anxiously, in her heart she thought, what does this werewolf want? They were at the end of the dwarf village, there was only clear river water and rocks arranged in such a way as to resemble small benches.

Did Morgan want to take her to a fight?

Morgan sat down and looked at Alita sharply, he snorted softly.

"What do you want?" Alita opened her voice, she couldn't stand sitting with Morgan for long, it felt like the air pressure around her was thinning and became very hot.

"I should be the one asking that," said Morgan, displeased. His eyebrows dipped sharply. "What is your purpose in looking for Thomas? I know you're Andreas' half-sister."

Alita snorted, she didn't expect the werewolf to know her identity, she breathed heavily.

"I just wanted to protect him." Alita glared back at Morgan with her golden eyes. "It has nothing to do with Andreas."

Morgan closed his eyes, a heat of hatred welling up in his chest, he wanted so badly to smash the head of this girl in front of him to pieces, but he held it in with all his might, afraid their fight would destroy Snow White's pink shield.

"I'll be watching over you." Morgan stood up, his firm jaw clenched.

Alita brushed her hair in the wind, she also stood up and looked up at the sky. "Take it easy. I won't make trouble if no one starts."

Morgan did not answer, he walked away leaving Alita with wide steps, he passed the dwarves who were carrying firewood, he kindly helped them carry it.

Alita who saw it just scratched her head in confusion, this is the first time she saw a werewolf who doesn't attack her when they meet. Usually, their race is very barbaric, always attacks them blindly even though there's no problem at all, they seem destined to become eternal enemies.

Morgan came to Snow White's house and saw Iris squeezing oranges in the gazebo, beside her the princess sat majestically cutting apples, the other dwarves were busy arranging firewood and setting up the grill.

"Are we having a meat party tonight?" asked Morgan with shining eyes, he saw the rabbit meat that had been cut into pieces, he sat down and helped the dwarves happily.

Iris looked at Morgan's back, she touched it and asked softly. "What are you doing with Alita?"

Morgan looked up and found Iris' beautiful face wrinkled with curiosity, she smiled widely.

"Nothing," he said curtly, then grabbed Iris' hair that was hanging over her face, taking a deep sip of the rose scent.

Iris saw Morgan's behavior and felt her cheeks burn with embarrassment, she pinched Morgan's back lightly, reminding them that there were other people around them.

Snow White snorted at the intimacy of the two of them, she saw Alita coming with a flat face while carrying some sweet potatoes from the river, the vampire girl looked here and there, looking for Thomas' figure.

"Where's Thomas?" Alita asked with a worried face, the princess shook her head slowly, in her heart she regretted letting a stranger in her village, now her place has become a place for this strange couple to fall in love.

"He's sleeping, I brought him inside," Iris explained, Alita snorted and immediately entered the house after handing the sweet potato to Snow White.

Morgan and Iris looked at each other, for some reason there was a strange feeling creeping into the hearts of both of them, it was uncomfortable, Iris wanted to get up but was immediately restrained by Morgan.

"Don't worry too much, she won't be showing her mask now. We can only wait."

Iris sat back and nodded slowly, Morgan is right, even if Alita has evil intentions she definitely won't be able to do it shortly because either Morgan or Iris will always be watching them, especially now that they are in the territory of the legendary princess.

"You're right, Morgan."

The two of them returned to their respective activities, Morgan started roasting the rabbit meat and Iris poured orange juice into the tiny glasses, Snow White cheerfully ordered the dwarves to arrange tables and chairs.

The food is almost ready, but Alita and Thomas have not shown the bridge of their noses, Iris is getting restless.

"I will look for them." Iris got up from her seat, Morgan just nodded slowly, he was still busy dividing the meat onto the plate.

Iris quickened her pace towards the house, her chest suddenly pounding wildly. She squeezed the doorknob when she heard Thomas's small voice.

"She's a good person. There's nothing to be afraid of."
