like her she spots a spear blade through his thigh but she knows removing it now could be fatal she blindfolds him and wakes him up the man asks who she is and why his eyes are covered she asks him to promise her not to take the blindfold first or she will just leave him to die upon asking why she blindfolded him she explains she can't reveal her location or it could cost her life the man asks if she's a Raider but she disagrees saying she hunts to survive the man apologizes for his rudess and introduces himself as K son of huadu and Kahala hailing from Salt City he asks her to tell him at least why she saved him even though saving his life compromises her upon insistence she grits her teeth and begins to cry he apologizes and Promises not to ask more Renee helps a shaky cun walk she asks him to drop the heavy axe but he reveals that erder is like his own limb Renee is taken aback by the axe's name and she makes him drop it suddenly K questions whether she's a woman upon admitting it K begins squirming away saying he wouldn't have let her carry him if he knew he realizes she's the woman who had been staying with the Raiders in the mountains and asks if the others know she reveals that those who knew were dead as they asked for it he asks her not to be mad they reach a cave where she gives him the wine and meets she stashed in the Rocks however she finds him collapsed she chugs some wine and kisses him Rene's Master had called her a cursed and it didn't take her long to figure out what he meant back then she had the ability to sense violent intentions from a young age her feeble attempts at self-defense resulted in fatal injuries for her attacker at first it was only animals but as she grew up it went beyond it started with an old slave that day she was whipped and locked in a shed for wounding the old slave who tried to have his way with her such was the life of a slave girl more Men followed unable to keep their hands to themselves and so did the killings she never wanted to hurt anyone only to protect herself one day she remembers the prophecy given to her at 5 years old when she accompanied her master to the Golden Forest Temple it was that damn curse Renee mentally admits to cun that she saved him out of selfishness not kindness T abruptly wakes up he thanks her for saving his life Rene says she doesn't expect his people to repay kindness as they eat the mothers of their own children she heard legends about the man eating eagle devouring armanu goddess of the Golden Forest and mother to his children those children went on to become the salt Mountain tribe her words piss off and he dismisses it as nonsense she walks him to the cave and notices nothing has changed in this Hideout plenty of Raiders disappear every day only to be replaced by new faces the previous man spots her and asks who cun is she says it's a lost Raider but the man kicks cun hard and demands he prove he isn't a filthy northlander but K doesn't say anything and the man believes he is indeed one it began to draw more people's attention Rene steps up but the man smacks him for bringing a northlander Rene pleads that the man was blindfolded all the way and doesn't even know their faces she promises to give him her share of meat and wine and reminds him of her saving his life however the man ignores her and begins to wield his d at cun but Renee Shields him and the dagger stabs her instead Renee Grins and reminds the man how skilled she is at hunting she asks him to let him live and in return she will provide him with the food he needs he agrees and so cun is tied up he remained awfully still she shakes him awake to which cun asks why is she doing something so foolish it was a nuisance for Rene she thought the food and warmth would be enough to recover him but now she knows the problem is the spear in his thigh she has no choice but to pull it out she tries but cun lets out a painful scream Renee reminds him of his promise to repay her kindness and confesses that her wish is for him to live until he's 150 K again begins to question why but Rene smiles she wanted to know this herself at first it was just remorse for turning her back on the people who died because of her curse so when she found cun collapsed in the snow she knew she had to save his life so that when her time came she could stand tall in front of the queen of the underworld and argue that the lives she had taken were paid with the lives she saved she acted on impulse back then but no she just wants him to live she wants to protect his life whatever it takes she explains to cun that there's no healer here and she needs to draw out the poison with fire he agrees saying he'll be fine since he's a northlander Renee Chuckles thinking he's a fool for thinking being a northlander makes him stronger she finally removes the spear and tries stopping the bleeding but to no avail she begins crying not wanting him to die later the bleeding finally stopped but K still hadn't woken up she prayed for him but halted as cun asked why he had to live to 150 she shrugs it off and asks if he's a good Hunter KH agrees saying he's the best she smiles and asks if he has killed a person before he admits he has and asks if there's someone she wants to kill he asks her the reason and reminds her that the reason must be right she smiles realizing that people like him really do exist it seems as if they are from different worlds she asks him to kill her if she comes to him in the future she tells him not to ask ask her why and just give her a painless death however K refuses saying he can't kill the person who saved his life this infuriates Renee who asks if there's really anything he can do for her she remembers that she does have another wish she realized that nobody would have died if she had just accepted her faith and accepted that she had been sold to the Golden Forest she wouldn't have had to meet him and run away from him becoming a fugitive slave instead she could have just married a southlander and lived a peaceful life having an Anna's blessing she then expresses her wish for for him to take her body with everything he has even if she screams or resists K asks how she can say those things to which she reveals that the world she lives in is incomprehensible to someone like him she asks him to forget it and not go out of his way to return the favor cun fits his teeth in frustration and agrees to her request he woke up several days later but could barely swallow any food but he got better after that and got stronger every day there was just one problem cun was hesitant to go out with her to take a leak since she was a girl and so Rea had to ask other men for this upon interrogation K reveals that in his family unmarried men and women have separate Living Spaces she sigh and lets it be but when she spots his red nose she bursts into laughter that night the men discussed how effective it was for them to let the northlander live as they weren't starving anymore but they decide to wait for the right time to kill him the next day Renee continues with her routine of breaking her back to find meat for those lowlife Raiders in a fierce blizzard she returns and sits with cun he was fully recovered and asked her to help him find erder his axe so he could hunt she argues that the men will kill him if he goes outside but cun says it is easier if they are all dead he agrees not to look at her face go out catch prey and come back to make her trust him he leaves her a necklace when she calls it a mere Rock he furiously reveals that it's a piece of the dried heart of his ancestor the Great Eagle that has been passed from firstborn to firstborn and so Rene eventually agrees as K carves the prey she caught he asks her why southlanders trespass on his country to mine these Stones knowing they will die if they get caught she calmly replies that the Palm siiz stone is all one needs to be set for life and how useless Golden Forest priests are without it as all their powers are derived from the Divine Stone he tells her that one can use human power to do all those things and asks her to go back to the priests in the golden forests and talk to them angry Rene Springs up and vows not to go back there since she suffered there before she escaped cun asks if if she's a runaway slave but Renee asks him to shut up and curses at the Golden Forest and its priests when her anger calms K continues and agrees that he agrees with her she sits back down and confesses that the priests hate the northlanders too wanting them to be exterminated this angers K and he shuns the possibility of northlanders being beasts he explains that though they once were barbaric and lived like animals now they are cultured he then asks Renee about the legend of the golden forests she sigh asking him to ask his mother for such long fairy tales to this K coldly responds that his parents died 3 days before she found him in the snowstorm he watched them die before his eyes helplessly he tells her that his mother only knew short fairy tales and only three but now he will never get to hear her voice again she then begins to tell him the story at a time when the world was still in its infancy only just created by gods both great and cruel a tree sprang forth from the naval of the ruler of water and Earth all the gods mutually agreed and decreed that everything in the world revolves around seven days and nights the land of Inky where the tree sprang forth was so holy that no one could trespass on it from the moment it sprang it stretched its beautiful body growing taller to reach The Shining sun when the ruler of the sun saw this he pulled one of the tree branches up surprised by his gesture Inky held the tree's roots firmly in his hands and wo a current of water under its roots tempting the tree to sink its roots deeper into the Earth and with time its roots stretch deeper than all others one day the ruler of the Sun commanded his son kiddu The Greatest Warrior and Archer in heaven to bring the tree up to the highest Heavens in turn Inky summoned his own son the strongest Warrior of the land the black dragon and commanded him to pull the tree down to the Waters of the deep and so both sons battled for a long time so long that the land they fought on grew Barren one day they suddenly stopped fighting after seeing a beautiful unclothed lady lying under the tree the second night and day started after that kdu sat carefully beside the beautiful woman she was so small and frail compared to their Godly bodies that they could not look at her properly without kneeling close at that moment the woman's eyes met theirs kdu saw a brilliant Blue Sky in her eyes while the black dragon saw a brilliant blue ocean the woman asks who they are and they introduce themselves but when the woman asked who she was both simultaneously said armanu meaning tree armanu then extended her hands upwards as if Enchanted by an irresistible Force each held her hand in their own and she asked them not to fight near her as the noise Disturbed her sleep her sweet voice was enough to convince them and they let her stay in between them both and so both agreed that the tree would belong neither to Heaven Nor Earth pleased armanu thanked them and kissed them tenderly and this was when something strange began to grow in the hearts of kiddu and the black dragon Renee stops the story on a cliffhanger frustrating cun but he figures that the strange thing is love she then asks him what love is and he says it is when you spend all day thinking about that person and how to make them happy at that moment cun seemed cute to her cun continues saying more things making Renee blush at his straightforwardness she then asks if the feelings are one-sided she was expecting him to force his way like other men but he surprised her by saying he'd do his best and pray for others to love him the same that night Renee wakes up from her sleep and notices cun praying softly she sleeps again wondering what he's praying for K reaches for her hand and kisses it later Renee continued her story on the third night and day the desire of the three intens IED but armanu sadly shook her head saying their bodies were too immense for her to receive them her words caused the black dragon and kdu to mimic amano's humanesque style and Shrink to her size they both confessed their feelings to her and armanu asked each of them what they would give her in return they agreed to bestow on her anything she wanted after which she asked for seven days to answer them to K armanu seemed dishonest and greedy Renee scoffs at the fact that he's sympathizing with the black dragon and kiddu he argues that even days are not enough for love but Renee argues back that love can even fade in a single day she continues that on the fourth day and night armanu pondered her decision at the end of the seventh day the black dragon transformed into two serpents black and white they stealthily slithered to her and asked if she had made her wish they whispered into her ears to test their love and know their hearts convinced she went to kiddu and desired his Beauty and everlasting life since it was what kiddu cherished the most he struggled with her wish he then reluctantly agreed armanu then went to the black dragon and asked for his wisdom and the Earth's fertility but there was one thing armanu didn't know life if divided was bound to become imperfect but wisdom retained its perfection even when shared the black dragon agreed to lend wisdom but not fertility and so armanu chose kiddu who gave her what she desired they embraced all night but once over kdu found himself unable to Grant armanu his everlasting life because his father spoke to him in a dream asking him to make a choice his divinity or armanu and so armanu dejectedly went to the black dragon who agreed to Grant her wisdom but the black dragon exhaled an icy mist and laughed after kiddu realized where armanu had gone he tried pulling her out of the dragon's icy Mist but to no avail he ran to the tree arman's True Body pleading that he had kept his vow at that moment the sun rose and kidu lost his divinity falling on Earth which he had always despised at the same time countless Warriors of the sky born of kidu fell along with the tree they had been supporting their wings arm manu's beautiful land was now stained black with the blood of kiddu and his Warriors and armanu disappeared having gone to none of them all that was left was a set of giant bird Footprints K couldn't understand armanu while Renee couldn't understand why kiddu would sacrifice everything for a woman she asks K if he would have done the same to which he agrees surprising Renee they begin discussing gods and fate angering Renee she curses Anana for putting her in misery confidence idly making cun chuckle saying that being next in line to be ordained to the priesthood he never saw a brave blasphemer like her he reveals he will hopefully be anointed high priest of the salt Mountain Temple of Udo this spring shocking her he asks what she does if she uses God's name when lying she says she uses her name as it's the only thing left to which K asks her to sue his name and as long as she does he promises to vouch for her on the fifth day and night kiddu aimlessly searched for armanu his eyes overflowing with well of Tears he found himself back at the tree which had now grown into an entire Forest however armanu was nowhere to be found when the two serpents guarding the tree saw kiddu they wept and consoled him to move on as she would never return but kiddu begged the black dragon for her whereabouts to which he revealed she was snatched up by a great winged Beast with whom she United and bore children from his seed he then revealed that armanu is in the cave of the White Mountains where a man eating eagle lives and the seed he planted in her has fruited too cun asks what kind of man she would marry if she were armanu she revealed that men disgusted her this overwhelms cun he reaches for her hand but retaliates saying it might disgust her she says his touch isn't bad to which he asks if he can kiss her however he shrugs it off Rene knew the feelings flowed closer and closer to the brim until finally they engulfed her completely on the sixth day and night rule of the sun came to visit kidu in his dream asking him to retrieve his gift from armanu in exchange for coming back to heaven but kid who only wanted armanu he found his way to the Eagle's cave but found that the eagle had already devoured armanu the mother of his children Furious he pierced it seven times and wept bitterly he then returned to the cave where he found four lives armanu had borne there was a boy of radiant Beauty who looked just like his father and his twin sister who would become his mate there were also the corrupted seeds of the eagle he knew the only way to retrieve his gift was to collect the lives of those children armanu and the eagle boar kiddu lifted his bow and fired at them wounded they ran away and disappeared into the salt Mountain causing kiddu to lose the opportunity to return home to the heavens and so he and his Sky Warriors wept endlessly until they began to freeze and cover the mountain hearing about his devilish ancestor made cun upset K reveals that the eagle didn't die back then he managed to return to the mountain and find his children becoming chief he no longer ate humans since arman's wisdom was enough he reveals that they are direct descendants of the eagle though he isn't that proud Rene Strokes his hair in agreement making him flustered as she Strokes him she feels all the walls she'd built to keep him out beginning to crumble like a sand castle before the tide the scene switches to the men kicking Renee brutally for not bringing them meat she protests that the blizzard is too intense but they ignore her K comes to her rescue and shields her from the kicks later the men decide to finish K off when Renee goes hunting next time on the seventh day and night kiddu returned to the forest with his offspring and they began their endless vigil kiddu thought that as long as as the tree was alive armanu would return after much waiting one day kidu's son brought oil and a torch to him deciding to burn down the tree but kiddu refused to do so however his son was greedy for everlasting life kiddu saw this and made him promise to make him the guardian of the tree his children made it and became Priests of the Golden Forest As Time passed kiddu prayed to his father to be reborn with armanu and left the forest never to return K is pissed at the rotten ending of The Legend but Renee explains that all love stories are like that he asks how she knows as it is not like she has experienced love for herself she asks who said she had never experienced it making cun quiet she warns him of the Raider's intentions and begins to tell her own story about her gift she confesses that she liked holding his hand and his touch he then caresses her face calling her pretty despite her calling herself an ugly runaway slave she couldn't believe he developed feelings for her without knowing how she looked or who she was but she reminds herself not to develop these feelings ings as they will have to part she then kisses him confessing that the reason she saved him was because of the events from that morning wondering what color his eyes are she finds herself removing his blindfold she tells him it's time to repay for his life and then forget after their agreement is fulfilled Renee asks K to leave now that he has repaid his debt settling everything between them that night cun prayed for a fake Oracle to remove her curse but Renee knew better than that the next day the 14-day long blizzard had finally stopped they Dash outside as Renee asks if he's ready to go home she leads him to an empty space and begins to leave asking him not to remove his blindfold immediately but cun grabs her back saying he has something to tell her this angers her and she shoves her hand away she begins to leave but cun hugs her from behind pleading with her not to go back to that cave however Renee pushes him away asking who he thinks he is she says she will die if she leaves He suggests she live with the northlanders but she says it doesn't make any sense as they will will kill a foreigner like her he promises to get her once he finishes all the things he needs to promising to protect her from all creatures and from the hands of all gods who try to hurt her hearing him say all the things she yearned for made her speechless though wanting to reject him she found herself agreeing he gives her the necklace as a token of his promise that he'll return the kindness she bestowed she sigh disappointedly she had thought he might have had feelings for her but it was just repaying her kindness she rushes away despite his pleading thinking of what a fool she is as he never once told her he loved her she returns to the cave and tells the man that tricked her and ran away but she killed him and as evidence she shows them the nose and ears she cut from the dead men on the cliff she lat her lay her heart and head hurting and all she could think of was cun she remembers her memories with him and Giggles to herself in the dark a few days after remaining Hol Up she goes out and on her walk finds KX later that night she wakes up to the sound of a flock of eagles approaching she realizes it must be the sky gondol of the the northlanders use and wonders if cun is really coming to get him but she felt an ominous feeling cun steps out of the gondola and stabs the first man he sees to death he kills all of them one by one while Renee watches from afar covertly she could sense the blood lust in him and wondered if he was really the same C she knew soon Morgan doolas emerged asking Lugal K what his orders were K turns to the dog and gives him her clothes to sniff Renee wonders if he has come here to kill him or take him away her doubts are confirmed as K orders his men to kill the people who invaded their sacred land without permission she later sees everyone dead but to her surprise she finds herself trusting cun still but why was he trying to kill her in the days since then Renee has had several near-death experiences after K returned a larger scale operation took place to eradicate Raiders reaching even the deepest of caves now there was nowhere left to hide and she was exhausted from overthinking she decides to return K ax first and goes to the Salt Castle but at the gate she is told that K married the most beautiful woman a few months ago and his Heir will be born before the Winter Falls it turns out that last year the Black Rock Mountain and salt Mountain tribes agreed on marriage between the two to reconcile their differences the salt tribe received a warm reception lasting 10 days everything went well until the people of salt Mountain reached the temple stairs to perform the rights it turns out that the Black Mountain people now serve armanu and kiddu it was a full-fledged Massacre but K was the only survivor of the chief's family who dragged his wounded body through the swirling snowstorm he vowed to kill every living being of that tribe he finally returned 21 days later he kept his promise killing everything that breathed from the chief's family to the newborn babies he then plotted to wage war against souland and golden forests hearing this makes Renee shocked he wonders if he came to the cave to kill her so his beloved wife wouldn't know he gave his affections to a slave girl she knows she shouldn't have come here she gives the axe to the Knight and asks him to give it to K after 70 years so he might have forgotten her till then she dashed into the forest but fell to the ground she spots the necklace cun gave her realizing she forgot to give it back she decides to return to the Golden Forest as soon as she crossed the Southland the intense pain of the curse coursed through her body hinting that the slave brand had reactivated she takes a horse and painfully makes her way to the forest pleading to Giza to save her as she wonders how many years it has been since she said that name however the horse runs away without her she cries knowing she won't be safe in the forest and how soon they will discover her with this thought she collapses she wakes up to the voice of Giza calling her he walks near her saying it's been long with a voice as sweet as honey blonde hair as brilliant as a golden thread and a man so beautiful he'd make your eyes water he reminds her of her promise to return after 4 days but now it's been 3 years he reaches for her brand making the pain go away he tearfully confesses that he waited for her as promised and Embraces her he reminds her that she owes him her life and the promise that she'll become his a few years ago a fisherman sold a slave girl for a low price 7 days ago Renee stabbed his youngest son when he tried attacking her the only one who wasn't beaten to death because her master feared her curse in the end Giza a high ranking priest buys her and leads her to the Golden Forest Temple to work along the way she entertained him by speaking animal language and with time she caught his attention Giza despised talking to Mere mud people but he found himself intrigued by Rene's intelligence and astuteness he became certain he'd enjoy talking with this slave child on the other hand Renee was happy to be with him since he treated her properly but the way he talked made her flustered by this time she was sure Giza was a good person she also learned that he can't stomach the most random things like the time she killed animals to make food it's been 7even days since she was bought at first it was fun watching her and Giza decided to let her talk to keep him entertained on the road but her wit and vigilance made him a struck her only flaw might be her ignorance about the Golden Forest along the way she learned everything she wanted to know about the Legends Divine stones and northlanders from Giza she recalls that he didn't ask anything except when she'd begun menstruation when buying her but she wonders what menstruation even is two islands and three cities later they arrived at motto's their last stop the number of slave girls had grown to nine over the 21-day Journey they finally reached the temple upon asking gizor Reve r that they would have to do as asked helping with the abundance and prosperity right at the temple only then did Renee realize what an absurd delusion she'd trapped herself in she'd heard how ritualistic coupling was a part of the abundance and prosperity right everyone thought it was better than being worked to death but Renee didn't want all those lecherous stares and dirty hands on her she begs Giza not to make her and later she reveals her curse to him and the prophecy she revealed that she refused the gift from the goddess in Anna but unlike everyone she encountered giz it a told her he was glad she was unharmed her quarters in the Golden Forest were beautiful the white clay facade shimmered in the light and the interior was cool and Airy there was also a spacious lawn with beautiful fragrant trees and flowers once they arrived Two priestesses Men and Y took charge of them they were cold and aloof but they provided them with everything they needed life was easier and more opulent here the other girls quickly got accustomed to life in the forest but Renee only grew more anxious after hearing her beg to leave the other girls responded by openly shunning her she'd go outside in search of something to keep herself busy with and wonder why this place is called the Golden Forest a place so dark and stifling can be compared to something as dazzling as gold but she gets into trouble when picking up some Twigs in the forest the chief appeared before her Furious saying anyone who tries hurting arm Manu deserves death knowing he won't listen to her pleas she begins running away but is soon trapped but before she is killed Giza comes to her rescue she explains the situation to him and he calls her a fool he asks her to stay behind and get down he then asks for chief guler's forgiveness and Promises to educate her before the festival so she won't cause trouble during the right after he left Renee began crying and apologized to Giza for getting him in trouble while he comforted her the scene shifts to Renee being led to giza's quarters giza's pupils are jealous of seeing him interact so freely with a mere mud person meanwhile Giza explained to Renee how difficult the life of a Galer is and the next Galler is chosen after killing the previous one with arm manu's Branch hearing this made Renee realize that the forests aren't holy but vile he then reveals to her that the actual reason why gers try eradicating the northlanders is to regain what kiddu lost the glory of light and everlasting life he reveals he is in support of this but the current galtier and his followers have abandoned the holy task given by kiddu blinding themselves with material riches this information made Renee uncomfortable especially the fact that Giza was telling a mere slave girl all this she vows to protect him from any harm to her life her determination makes gizard a smile and he bursts into laughter later Renee is summoned by gizard again he lectures her on Powers within the Divine stone that is crushing strength burning heat lasting time and dazzling light but of those four time is something one cannot control he then shows her another Stone turning her hair golden he cut some with a wind blade to show her but this made her shudder in Fright he apologizes and turns her hair back to Brown he calms her down and she soon falls asleep by Sunset he brings her back on his back shocking his pupils a week later Renee goes to meet him but is driven to sleep after he gives her a drink she wakes up to find men interrogating Giza about why he did this to a slave set to participate in the Spring Festival she is shocked to hear men say that they must throw her out if she misses a menstruation cycle or becomes pregnant she couldn't believe Giza would do something like that to her as he was virtu like other Sky people she later asks him what menstruation is making him realize that her former Master lied and that she is of age he thinks it's enough for her not to participate in the upcoming Festival it turns out he had given her medicine to stop bleeding even though it wasn't even needed Rene later asks a girl about menstruation and stuff but when she gets to know she sulks realizing she messed up later Min informs her that she will be sold to someone outside the forest if she doesn't menstruate soon and Giza won't be able to cover for her because because of all the trouble she caused he's sentenced to 100 lashes and 2 years of probation it turns out that gizo was being punished without any trial he was flogged brutally but despite that he accepted his punishment however when yada informed him that Renee would participate in the festival since she had begun menstruation he became shocked isido was Notorious for his hatred of mud people and never participated in the Spring Festival to avoid contact with humans he is shocked since the medicine he gave her was so potent that she shouldn't have started bleeding for at least a year on the other hand Renee was at his house calling out to him tearfully from above Giza pleads for her not to cry he casts magic and butterflies fly their way to her assuring her he's fine it was a scene of mesmerizing Beauty a brand new technique giza's pupil was shocked to see that he had created this display solely for the sake of that slave girl the festival soon arrived and each day girls were chosen Renee wished for Giza to be her partner if there was no escaping it she kept having those senseless Shameless thoughts after the ceremony the first girl burga went straight to the prayer room so they couldn't get any information on her every morning the girls Drew lots and were chosen until Renee was chosen on the eighth day like the others she was adorned with jewels no one had any idea that she hadn't menstruated yet and had just fabricated a rat's blood as her own she reaches the ceremony as arm manu's manifestation as she made her way forth people cheered for armanu making her realize it was a reenactment of kiddu and arm manu's wedding ceremony and galtier the descendant of kiddu is her partner as she gets branded she finally understands why priests and priestesses never get married it's because every year they spend 10 days doing this in the end there's nothing sacred about this ceremony she notices Burger's hairpiece on the floor and the other girl's belongings to covered in mysterious red stains the nauseating sense of insense was to cover up another smell and the voice in her head that's been telling her to run away for the past few days all started making sense to Renee she instantly shoves gter away reaches for his sword and dashes away after ripping her dress before she could be caught Giza came to her rescue realizing he knew all along she grits her teeth in Anger Giza reminds the others that the guardian of the forest has lost a sacrifice and failed to complete a ritual he asks Renee to run away or she will die he asks if she's branded but size when she says yes he explains that bran prohibits sacrifices from leaving the forest as the moment she steps outside her heart will melt within 4 days he casts magic pushing its activation by 4 days for her to escape he asks her to come back after 4 days she tearfully promises to repay him and come back after 4 days as she stared at giza's blinding white unfamiliar icy blue eyes she saw the unprovoked overwhelming desire behind them later Giza brought back a fake corpse to galtier he then breaks a branch from armanu challenging him and so Giza eventually wins and becomes the new Guardian of armanu meanwhile an injured men approaches Rene on Horseback informing her that the galtier didn't cast any and only marked her with the brand of the forests rather it was Giza who Shackled her here mine reveals that Giza is as wise as the black dragon and as cunning as a snake she reveals that he cast fire on her which will kill her in 4 days she reveals that giza's greatest Talent is his ability to manipulate people while plotting behind their backs Rene couldn't believe this and asked Min how she knew it nin laughs bitterly revealing that she has had the same on her since she made the mistake of falling in love with him she asks men why giz it a cast that on her and she asks if she made any promises to her Renee reveals her promise to repay his kindness confirming men's words and with that she collapses she stuttering revealed that there are two ways to escape the fire neak one is to stay hidden in the forest forever and the other is to head toward an intergral castle and go to the Northland where the neak can't manifest before men breathed her last she prayed for Rene's safety as she made her journey to Northland painful she realized that Giza didn't love her and the realization hurt her badly as she made her way to the Salt Mountain back in the present Renee couldn't feel a single thing when hugging Giza she asks him if he has anything to say to her she didn't want to blame him for buying her knowing she'd become a sacrifice as that was his job after all rather what bothered her was that he lied and forced her to affirm his loyalty to him he cursed her preventing her from going anywhere in the world but ret turning to him and so gizor reveals that he loves her this makes Renee laugh out loud and bitterly taking him AB back she asks if it was too hard to confess for a noble Sky person to a mud person 3 years ago she then reveals if he is the one who cast fire over gti's brand back then he admits it but says he planned on removing it after she returned 4 days later but she knew he wouldn't have done that he asks what he should do to earn her trust she asks him to lift the curse and let her go he refuses to do so saying he cannot trust her she begs him but to no avail he says he will restore it when he ascends to the heavens causing her to slap him she reveals she doesn't love him and how she swore to live alone for her entire life soon a few people gather asking what she did to the galtier making her eyes widen gizzard admits he was selfish but he had no other choice but to assure her safety back then but he agrees to respect her choice Renee spots his old burned scars and remembers what she's forgotten the marks he have from the disgrace he endured for the sake of lowly slave girl and yet somewhere even deeper within the depths of his heart were the traces of shame for having confessed his love to a mud slave Giza coldly asks her to forget what he said making Renee question the wha ifs at that moment she remembers the Oracle she received from Anana she is cut off from her thoughts as Giza asks him to stay by his side as it's awfully lonely being G here he promises to respect her wishes and only asks for her loyalty she then asks him if it's wrong to hurt someone who's trying to hurt her he said says no she then asks if he wouldn't resent her if she hurt him he replies that if they end up hurting each other they must promise not to resent each other but his response made her feel more unsettled yet she nodded in agreement they then made their way to the golden forest with Renee laughing and talking with Giza and to ensure she didn't make a fool of herself and tear up she laughed louder so she wouldn't have any regrets as they talk about his mission she requests that he give her a good smack to Anana for making him chuckle he then asks about her menstruation to which she says it hasn't come he then promises to undo her the day he eradicates the salt Mountain tribes leaving all the wealth power and Golden Forest to her she smiled and continued forcing herself to look forward so she wouldn't say something she might regret later they finally ared and Giza informs her that it's the Spring Festival asking her to rest in the meantime she goes to his resting place but bumps into a woman making her scrape herself she curses cstone for being heavy and recalls the spell men used to say she says it and is taken back as she floats up to the resting place she Ponders how she casts despite not having or being a priestess she then realizes that she has cun Stone she recalls that when a person casts for the first time their hair becomes golden she pulls the cloth away from her hair and is shocked to discover that this is exactly what happened she decides to find Giza to find out what is happening immediately she reaches the ceremony place and finds that giza's already begun the ritual with his offering she decides to leave but but halts as she spots Giza killing the girl it wasn't the Giza she knew but rather someone who had completely become a Galler the scene switches to Rene sulking at what she has witnessed she decides to give it a few days before asking him she uses the spell Giza used on her last time and succeeds making her realize she's really meant to be a member of the Golden Forest that night gizor returns to his room and spots her there he asks why she came to witness such a terrible scene and explains that he has to do this even though it sickens him as a gter he then reveals that it was he who made her drink medicinal tea and why she isn't menstruating he further reveals that any sexual Union between a human and a sky person is simply a formality but they absolutely abore the idea of mixing their blood with that of mud people a sudden realization Dawns on her and she asks what would happen if a priestess got pregnant after sleeping with outside royalty he reveals she is made to abort the child or if it is carried out then a royal family is found to adopt the child and is asked to discard it so the baby won't survive this makes Renee realize who she really is and how she ended up at Elda Isle but she gets cut off from her thoughts as he caresses her she shoves him away and he asks her to go to the priest's quarter and send the reserve person The Woman Soon arrives and Renee is made to watch them but soon she senses something dark and tackles the woman to the ground the woman is soon killed by Giza while Renee watches him struggle to catch a breath soon many Challengers were executed and gter giza's Reign remained peaceful with the help of a Myster ious Shadow guard a Man reveals to a mysterious man that the problem now was the northlanders wiping out Raiders meaning there was no way of getting Divine Stones he further revealed that the tensions are high now and he stopped by ninal Castle on his way here and nasty rumors are circulating the mysterious man asks him about the northlanders to which he reveals that he heard a fair share of news the mysterious man questions the envoys sent to the Northland the man discreetly reveals to him that those envoys left the Northland ages ago and are now hiding out in nle Castle doing everything they can to stop the news from spreading but anyone who has been there knows he then asks why they are hiding there but the man says he can't reveal it or they will kill him the mysterious Man reveals himself to be Giza and demands to know assuring him that he will kill those who kill him Giza introduces himself causing the man to fear Him and apologize he then agrees to reveal everything to him due to the barren soil of Northland it's always been difficult for them to grow their own food making them Venture Beyond to trade goods for food with southlanders but unfortunately Raiders began gathering in the White Mountains as the animosity grew gizzard struck a deal with the Black Mountain tribe to annihilate the salt Mountain tribe everything seemed to go according to plan but little did they know the son of the salt Mountain Chief had survived and when he returned he exterminated the Black Mountain tribe United the remaining 11 tribes and became king en rage gter joined forces with the Southland enclosed its borders causing the North lers to invade areas along the border the man further revealed that this caused suffrage in ninal Castle he then reveals that one of the envoys has become impotent and is in hiding the king of Northland didn't greet the envoys with respect enraged an Envoy made his way with a maid causing Salt City to erupt into chaos he was captured and castrated unlike other people speaking against the Northland King Renee thought it was the right thing to do and it made her recall how K asked her to live in the North she reveals to Giza how strict the boundaries between men and women are in Northland but for him it was typical of Barbarians she recalls how strict the rules were and how adulterers and rapists end up dying as honor is most important to the northlanders and so she reveals to Giza that the king spared the en booy's life or else the maid's family would have killed him instead but Giza continues to regret the survival of the salt trib's chief's son Renee was shocked at first when she found that it was Giza who tried massacring khun's family but when she thought more about his aims it wasn't that surprising if she hadn't found K that day and he hadn't survived then the salt tribe might have diminished and everything would have gone according to giza's plan and he would have become a full-fledged Sky person and be in the heavens by now gizer Reveals His plan to act soon or the Northland King will become too strong for them to face she asks if he must really Ascend to the skies and he asks her to at least pretend that she understands what it means to the sky people he asks how she knows of the Northland Traditions to which she reveals she saved a northlander once who told told her all this during the few days they spent together while Giza fell asleep Renee Sat by his bedside protecting him as she promised and in return he never expressed his feelings for her ever again when he wakes up Rene sleeps while he watches her for it is only during this short time that he can fully enjoy her presence and he hears her call cun at first Giza was simply bothered by the unwelcomed guest who kept invading Rene's drams But as time went on hearing her say that boy's name instilled in him murderous feelings towards that faceless northlander cun of Salt City and yet because she hates him so much she can't get his name out of her mind he wonders if it's a coincidence that his name is the same as that of the Northland King he knew he needed to decide on the petite girl quickly even in this suffocatingly sweet moment he must choose the scene shifts to the Golden Forest Temple conference Hall the neighboring kings and queens were fighting over whether they should participate in a war or not but Giza eventually convinced them hyping them for the wealth that followed he then makes to deal with them that they will only take slaves as prisoners of War while the people of the tribe will be theirs eventually with nal's gon of plains and a United Southland Army of 70,000 the rulers chose the wheat harvesting period as the ideal time to attack later Rene's legs give away as Giza asks her to kill khun as a token of her loyalty to him it makes her realize that he knows whom she saved in the Northland she was indeed someone who could approach him easily she felt as if someone were carving her heart out with a knife he says it's his last order and leaves she then leaves for the Northland with the annoying bickering messenger Talos but thanks to this chatter box she found herself with no time to get lost in her thoughts they finally reached the plains Paving the way straight to the White Mountains but their Journey wasn't sailing smoothly they decide to set up camp for the night Telos asks if she ever lived in the Northland as she isn't afraid to venture here he then asks her to be honest with him saying he suspects she came to complete a task she revealed to him that she hid with Raiders in the mountain and met a northlander boy whom she saved leading him made her realize northlanders aren't different from them but Telos asked her not to jump to conclusions as she sat by the fire she recalled memories of cun repeatedly she is cut off from her thoughts as Telos points out that she received an Anna's blessing when she was young he asks if any ladies fell for her she reveals that she did fall for one and another fell for her he asks whom she liked more but she shrugs it off saying she doesn't remember frustrating Telos she reveals reveals that they abandoned her one got married while the other cursed her and that is why she decided not to believe in that Oracle she shifts the topic and asks him about the Northland King he reveals how Fierce his hunting skills are she remembers K telling her this and realizes just how afraid she is to see him again she knows he won't recognize her because of the blindfold so then what really is she afraid of as she slept Telos wondered what torture the boy must have endured all those years the next day they talked more about the king but it turns out that Telos didn't know anything about the air she wonders how hard it must have been for cun to Bear if there was a child who died she wonders what his wife might be like and whether she knows all about her as they reached closer to the White Mountains Renee got an ominous feeling and she noticed genda's heading straight toward them unlike a scared to death Telos Renee remained calm the northlanders approached them and made them bow Renee calmly reveals they are Merchants from the south KH asks her to reveal her face which she does revealing herself to be Renee Talco does too hun Reveals His Name shocking her and all the memories flood back into her mind making her wonder what he wanted to tell her at the foot of the snow covered mountains that day cun and his men end up deciding to take them back to Salt City as hostages until they're proven not to be spies but if they can't prove their innocence they must die at his hands nauseated from the ride Telos begs him to let him walk instead enraged cun swings his ax making him collapse Renee confronts him but he asks her to shut her mouth saying he intends to kill anyone who gets in his way this makes her wonder where the cun she met who said he doesn't kill without the right reason is and for what reason did this Merchant have to die she tries grabbing his axe but to no avail and is instead tied tightly K was indeed ruthless she notices that Talos isn't bleeding and that he's moving cun reveals that he seemed to be in pain so he just knocked him out for a bit she apologizes and he asks her to get ready for the shaky ride ahead upon reaching her C declared Rene's movements from before as those of of an assassin and ordered her to be executed as Renee is dragged away cun turns to Telos and asks who Renee exactly is upon her insistence Telos revealed that he hired her as a servant because a priest from the Golden Forest asked him to he slowly revealed everything to con knowing she has no choice but to save herself she wields her sword but cun approaches her guard with his axe demanding to know why Galer sent her he continues attacking the boy who once touched her body so delicately is not to hurt her she approaches K apologizing mentally to Giza for not being able to return safely and K attacks her stabbing her she collapses immediately thinking of how K's eyes are more beautiful than she had imagined K's eyes widen as he sees a brand on his chest that he once saw on someone else Rene's Vision becomes blurry as C demands to know why she dresses like a man here and about the brand he picks her up and orders her to call a doctor right away meanwhile cun's henchman wonders why the slave stabbed cun knowing she'd die he approaches K suggesting that he returned to his duties but he refuses to do so his henchmen assures him she has passed away as they looked for her everywhere but to no avail however K still believed she was alive the henchman advises him to look for a new woman as he needs an heir later he finds cun with his axe by the slave's side it turns out he was just comparing the girl's Golden Hair to Brown he asks his henchmen HBA to look at them and see how similar they look but to humba they were different as they argued Renee finally woke up from from the noise unbeknownst to his people khun had been looking for a petite brown-haired woman one day his men finally stopped him from going missing again to which cun confessed that he was looking for his wife despite their protests he continued looking for her but the problem was that he knew nothing about her except that she was a southlander he revealed to his people that he swore to Udo to bring her back to his home she told him she'd wait for him and so in line with his custom he gave her a wedding gift soaked in his blood they decided to find her with him him after he revealed she was with a child and so the news spread and many Royals brought gifts for the air but it turns out that cun thought having intercourse meant bearing a child soon cun was informed that his axe had returned the salty city was filled with a wave of excitement thinking the queen had returned since only she knew the axe's whereabouts but khun is told that the woman is dead but he simply can't believe it he lived the rest of the day blankly as if his soul had been sucked out of him he didn't eat or sleep and the Warriors didn't know what to do late the night reveals to cun that The Nomad asked to give the axe to him after 7 years time Furious he orders for the Nomad to be found and brought to him he wanted to know how and where she died as she had something to tell him after all back then he didn't want to confess rashly to her the night further revealed that The Nomad was crying when he revealed the woman had died making him realize his wife had come to Salt City to see him and so K continues his search for Renee back in the present moment she revealed to him that the brand on her chest is given to human sacrifice in the Golden Forest she reveals further about the girl who escaped like her once later when she slept K revealed to HBA that he was certain that she was his wife as the voices were quite similar despite how cold and dark his surroundings were back then the only thing on which he could focus at that moment was the sound of her breathing he was overcome with a feeling that it'd be impossible to describe in words at that moment he felt they were the only two people in the world Destiny is the only way he can describe that moment his instincts told him this woman was her but all he needed was a hint of Hope just then the unconscious woman calls out her name pleading with him to live until he's 150 he cries realizing he finally knows her name he calls her name repeatedly while Humber remains shocked and decides to announce to the people of Salt City that the queen has returned Renee wakes up later finding herself in a beautiful place she sits up abruptly in spots cunn by her side she instantly begins apologizing for passing out but gets interrupted as cun gives her milk to drink she realizes he knows who she is but his reactions seem strange to her she knew he must have hated her so much that he wanted to kill her but why was he crying right now and she finds herself reaching for him he apologizes for not recognizing her and hurting her while Renee hugs him he hugs her back saying he can finally say what he couldn't back then repeatedly confessing his love for her this shocks her and she points out that he hated her since he killed everyone in the cave they cleared up all the misunderstandings between them and for the first time Renee found her s glad to be reunited with him rather than resenting an Anna for it he caresses her face saying she's even prettier than he had imagined he then repeats his confession of love for her the words he wanted to say back then but couldn't she asks why he couldn't say it back then to which he reveals that northlanders believe confessing while still young results in an unpleasant outcome he confesses he never once doubted she's the one for him and wishes to become her husband promising to protect her he promises to share kisses with her and Only Love Her Rene heart achd and she felt as if the ice in her chest was finally melting away back then she suffered a terrible fever inside that cave and she felt something strange growing inside her whether her eyes were opened or closed she was consumed with the thought of him though she was the one who pushed him away that day she desperately waited for him night and day to come back her feelings grew so much that they led her to Salt City she cried for a long time struggling to forget him but to no avail but now that she has seen him again her body has begun to tingle and warm up they then kiss passionately and cun suggests they have children after they get married but Renee realizes she can't have his children as someone in the Golden Forest who desperately wanted to save her stopped her from bearing children this makes her wonder how Giza will react now that her Mission has failed but for now she pushes her worries away and Embraces him later cun is kicked out for letting her wound open again while being intimate hearing his stories made Renee realize just how good of a king he was as he cuddled her closely she felt his touch and warmth so calming that she could just die right here and now she didn't realize that falling asleep in someone's arms could feel so warm and she wondered if it is really okay for her to be this happy she wonders if she can really hold on to cun she was sure she liked him and even without the luxuries of the world or basic necessities she'd want nothing more than to be by his side she calls him pretty making him scoff and he reminds her that northlanders don't care about looks he then tells her a legend about a merchant Who Loved all things beautiful he he had two sons one biological and another a slave he raised as his own one day he set off to make money in a foreign land for 10 years but when he returned with all the riches for his biological son he faced a dilemma the two sons who had grown to be adults made him unable to tell them apart one appeared ugly and overweight while the other was Slender and handsome certain the handsome one was his son he bestowed him with riches and kicked the ugly one out but he later realized that the ugly one was his son but it was too late as his adop opted son had already taken all the riches to protect his son when the Merchant's life ended he turned into a huge Salt Rock Renee Smiles but bursts into laughter when he confesses that he knew she was beautiful because of her smell and voice she knows she has to do everything in her power to stop the war and prevent losing cun but for that to occur the northlanders must put their pride aside and allow the mining of divine Stones while the southlanders must start trading food again and the people of the sky must give up their lofty dreams she was wasn't sure if it was possible but what she needed to do was cut ties with the golden Forest as she wonders how to deal with Giza cun mumbles in his sleep how adorable their child will be this makes her Sullen knowing she can't have children and she wonders how to tell him it is true she didn't resent Giza for giving her the medicine to save her life but she wonders if that was all he intended he knows of an antidote but Giza hasn't given her that yet maybe to prevent the possibility of a mud person carrying the seed of a sky person she has known him for a long time but she isn't sure who he really is anymore the next day Rene helps K get dressed for the ritual Rene's belongings are brought to the room and she reveals the stone cun gave her shocking him realizing she wore it all along he hugs and kisses her determined He suggests not waiting any longer for them to declare their love and go to the temple but Renee protests that it was too sudden she knew better than to clear everything up before becoming Queen cun apologizes for being Hasty and then asks her to reveal what's troubling her and what she's hiding from him she is taken aback at the realization that cun knew she was hiding something but she couldn't tell him thinking there might be a possibility he wouldn't embrace the truth and push her way nevertheless she reveals her job as a guard to galtier who sent her here on a mission to kill him but cun remains calm saying he thought this might be the case she further reveals she cannot have children she tearfully reveals everything she knows K is the last surviving member of the mountain trib's Chief and people are anxious for him to have an heir C assures her that his Nanny will find a cure for it but she argues that even Giza couldn't produce an antidote she apologizes profusely to him but to her surprise cun instead asks who Giza is to her she reveals he's someone she's indebted to since he saved her life and she vowed to repay him for her loyalty but now all her feelings have faded away revealing that for Giza nothing is more important than his mission she consoles him saying she doesn't mind him having a surrogate for bearing children or even making someone else Queen but he asks her to stop and Embraces her tightly saying all he needs is her meanwhile Telos was still locked up for 10 days and heard nothing about the kid making him worry sick about her just then cun appears before him he gives him silver in exchange for his goods and tells him to tell the southlanders that he is drawing a proposition Telos heard his proposition and was sure such diplomacy would end the war and resolve all issues Telos asks about the girl and begs him to spare her ready to give all the silver bags for her life pun Smiles saying he is lucky he reveals that he didn't intend to make him leave so easily and unharmed but seeing him plead for the girl has changed his mind He commands Telos to let Giza know his loyal Warrior has died after Renee recovered K showed her many places in the Northland and she came to realize that northlanders weren't barbaric like southlanders described them instead they are intelligent people the only difference is that they don't have the Sky people have she also came to learn how detail oriented cun is he made her a clay vase fussed over buying herbs for food teeth and even made her a flower fruit basket once he even makes her a weapon for her own defense as he made her weapon Renee watched him work at hba's father's forage hba's father sat beside her revealing that K was planning on training his grandson to become a priest she realizes that it is to make him his successor since they won't be able to have children soon cun is informed that Golden Forest and boys have arrived he advises Renee to stay inside so she cannot be recognized while he goes to the Palace to deal with them and it turns out that Giza has arrived himself but K wasn't aware of this and found him annoying over dinner gizer reveals that Galer has agreed to accept his proposal as long as they are allowed to mine Divine stones but on one condition and that is to send Rene's body back to the golden forests upon refusing and stating that the body was devoured by Wolves Giza insists on sending the remains back KH was confused as he sense the man getting desperate as if he was doing everything in his power to confirm whether Rene is dead or not not but he refused to let the gter get hold of even the smallest bit of Renee K stared at the emotionless man and realized that his name seemed strange too but what he'd like to know most is why he's so obsessed with Renee when he's simply here to relay a message from the Galler he asks him about her to which he reveals she served the gter day and night but he remains calm and warns him not to provoke him he then leaves dismissing the proposal is null a month ago when galtier sent away his precious Aaron boy his people started noticing how anxious and lonely he became once they even heard him crying in pain a sound they should have never heard shortly after Telos returned as the sole survivor when gizo was informed of the news he racked the table unintentionally he excused himself immediately but the day after that he was seen like usual Gathering all the priests and announcing his arrival in the Northland Sabato who went with him tries her best to tell him to leave but to no avail instead he uses on her and the worst part was that they were in Northland sabata was shocked since it wasn't supposed to work here but now that it did work here she realizes that they will undoubtedly win this war on the other hand judging by K's behavior from before he is sure Renee isn't dead and K will die in his hands meanwhile K returns to Renee upset by giza's words but he assures her that he believes in her but Renee knew he was still upset whatever they said and hugged him she then swears on his name swearing she didn't lie and loves only him the sexual tension between them intensifies and Renee ends up fainting once again later cun apologizes and asks her to punish him for hurting her badly she shrugs it off as nothing and assures him once again that she never lied to him and that nothing happened between him and guler she then apologizes saying she gave Giza everything but love but in his case all she can give him is love but K reminds her that she has also given him the will to live as well he then kisses her asking her to get better soon so they can officially wed later HBA helps K make a leather necklace for Renee cun points out that The Rock has turned from black to gleaming purple but what seemed more odd to him was that it smelled like old blood suddenly cun is summoned to the assembly room and is informed of the southlander war under Giza he assures them they will get by and won't have to suffer famine since southlanders crops are being modified for their aid Renee knew that if this became the case the Northland would become an impregnable Fortress they will be able to live safely and soundly on a self-sufficient land and cun won't have to go to war overwhelmed with Joy she ran out of the room K worriedly follows her and she swiftly hugs him K gives her the necklace back and they kiss but they are interrupted by the arrival of Giza cun questions their audacity to roam freely around but Giza says he came to search for fire he then says he feels like he has seen that person behind him somewhere Rene is shocked to see that he has come here and asks why he is here K is shocked to discover he's the galtier she tries apologizing but gizer reveals he didn't come this far for a mud person cun warns him not to talk to the queen like that but this makes Giza laugh more and he reveals she's just a runaway slave he reveals that she agreed to inherit the Golden Forest in return for her loyalty but Renee knew she did no such thing and hoped K wouldn't listen to his conniving words to her relief he doesn't and instead pays four times the amount Giza paid for her back then saying she isn't indebted to him anymore but Giza smiles and reveals the pouch to be empty he then remarks that it's him who'd more likely beg for his life not the other way around he uses neak on Rene who is shocked to see it working in Northland but the northlanders didn't know what he just did this means only one thing the tribes of salt Mountain will be eradicated she pleads with her eyes with Giza not to harm cun but he just laughs he threatens K with Rene's life but K can't understand why he would do that at such a huge disadvantage he agrees to put down their weapons nonetheless while Renee asks Giza what he wants from her he remarks that her blonde hair is beautiful making her realize something something has changed about her he addresses her as Renee the new Priestess of the Golden Forest and reveals it to k k asks what made her so afraid that she couldn't tell this to him but Renee didn't want to live as a sky person and rather be cun's wife it was at this moment that the northlanders saw blood on galer's hands but only one person knew the meaning behind this the reason Giza left cun and his Warriors alive is because he wishes to sue them as leverage to drag her back to the forest and if cun figures this out he'll try fighting and every everyone will be massacred she wonders if they should just die together she agrees to talk to Giza alone and so Giza reveals that he's glad to come here since he came to know so many things about her when Giza questions her earlier repulsion for men Renee realizes this was his trigger all along he announces that she will return to the forest with him but she refuses to do so alive as a sky person however Giza asks her to shut up since she's getting on his nerves he then announces that they will leave after he wipes the tribe out though is doomed she decides to negotiate with everything she has she strikes a deal with him that she'll return in exchange for cun and his tribe's lives but Giza lectures her mockingly to strike a better deal he asks her to choose either to stand quietly and watch him kill everyone or come with him in return for letting them live a bit longer he agrees to let the King live the longer she satisfies him she agrees to sell her body for the sake of their lives all her life nobody has been able to coer her like this as she fought back but now she never realizes that having someone whom she desperately wanted to protect and whom she cared for could make her appear so pathetic she smiles deciding to show the fool exactly how Shameless and spiteful she can be despite cuns protests she decides to leave saying she can finally have the life she wants she continues insulting him so he can just let her go and she succeeds in it when she says sleeping with him was like being attacked by an actual Beast he throws the dagger he made for her asking her to take it he then grits his teeth remarking that she makes him sick he warns her not to appear before him ever again or he will kill her himself as she makes her way on the Gondola he app plots to kill her the once kind Queen has now insulted cun and her people but she halts as she notices Renee staring at the castle instead of enjoying the thought of a wonderful life ahead Giza and Renee spot a dark silhouette watching them leave and Giza kisses her just to Vex cun meanwhile the thought of Renee was hurting cun badly and he wonders if all their Precious Moments were really that terrible for her he knew something was wrong only moments earlier she was fine did she really leave with the G here he thinks she weighed the pros and cons before choosing Giza in the end but every time he thought of them kissing it made him hurt after that day Salt City was filled with nothing but silence cun began working early the next morning as usual but he did stop tying his hair back and would doze off in the middle of meetings sometimes he could be heard crying from the Queen's quarters though everyone despised Renee IA stayed oddly silent As Time passed k no longer became enraged but he also no longer laughed turning into nothing but a huge chunk of rock salt they decide to March toward the Ghana plane if they don't hear a word from the southlanders in a week they get interrupted as cun is informed that Galer has sent a large number of enbys carrying supplies sabado informs K that Galer has agreed to accept his proposal for peace negotiations and has come with Merchants carrying supplies but in return he must allow their envoys to meet each of the chiefs of the other 10 tribes individual ually to discuss the trading of divine Stones K could sense that her answers were oddly clear and he knew Giza sense Sabato as a ploy he realizes that the message he wanted to relay as commanderin-chief was different from the one he wanted to convey as an individual he dismisses the meeting without coming up with any decision later he goes to meet Telos in his quarters Telos reveals he just came to earn profit from the new negotiations and wasn't ordered by galtier to come here K wonders what Giza really wants he knows Giza is trying to provoke him into war because if negotiations go well between northlanders and southlanders there will be no reason for war and thus Golden Forest will have to fight single-handedly against them which is of no benefit and this might be why he chose a timid Merchant like Telos who doesn't have the faintest idea that he was the real Envoy he is cut off from his thoughts as telco's requests that he save Renee this shocks him but he maintains his composure saying he has nothing to do with her but Telos reveals that galtier plans on killing her and has locked her in a dungeon as she tries killing herself twice he reveals that the reason she got locked up is because she tried seducing him shocking cun more than ever a woman repulsed by men's seducing galtier was odd and he knew it wasn't true he further revealed that Renee begged Galer not to attack Northland in return for her going back he reveals an incident when Giza ordered Renee to seduce him in return for leaving the Salt City people alone when she does try seducing him he loses it realizing that she would do anything for cun he orders her to be walked up again and when he revealed that Giza asked if it would have been better had he cut off her head than just her head covering that day K realized what that day's event actually meant he realizes that Renee knew Giza was holding all their lives hostage and if she didn't comply with him he would have killed them all he regrets treating her cruy that day when all she did was love him until the end he wailes loudly and frustratingly deciding to let Giza win by provoking him after all and so both armies meet under the scorching Sun ready to fight the priest and priestesses were unaware that the Hera ruler had instigated other rulers to turn against them that night northlanders attacked the enemy base camp gter ties Renee and orders a man to keep her safe he then leaves with the priestesses outside to fight after threatening her with cun's life he orders the sky to light up to see the enemy but is taken AB as amid the light K releases an arrow at the same time giz it a cast snek but the northlanders continue burning everything to the ground he uses extra power to put out the fire harming him in return he then orders to be used on enemies but the northlanders continue showering them with arrows gizor realizes K wants to kill him he flies upwards and confronts him but before K can attack Giza hints that Rene has been brought here worrying K Giza laughs bitterly wondering how K could only see one thing with such Clear Eyes which he couldn't as Giza insists he loves her a lot K says someone is brazen as him can't love her Giza agrees saying he's so Brazen that he never said said that word to Renee for the eight years he has known her and he wonders if things might have been different if he had back then he should have just told her he loved her rather than asking for her loyalty or it would have been better to kill her or die alongside her he is brought back to reality as his cheek gets cut he reveals to K that he does love her but his mission is more important to him K remarks that he's different from his ancestor and reveals that for someone so focused on completing his sacred Mission it seems he hasn't done his research properly K reveals he doesn't need to wipe out the entire Salt City as the only person on Earth who still has the same blood of the man eating eagle flowing through them is him this shocks him and he realizes that he would have succeeded if he had just killed him back then and so Giza focuses all his attacks and Power on killing K on the other hand Renee manages to convince the man to untie her for the sake of both their lives and outside they see the sky filled with rage and exploding everywhere she cries at the realization that K came after all back then Renee knew Giza couldn't stand the sight of her in love with cun she knew War would start soon and that there was nothing she could do about it only missing cun pathetically she tried killing herself and refused to eat frustrating Giza to no end and making him wonder what K has that he doesn't she asks if he wants to hear her say she loves in northlander or loves him more than her life causing him to slap her and laugh he had already made up his mind to ascend to the heavens with Renee she still couldn't understand how they ended up this way the Giza who was kind and even risked his life for her dedicating 8 years of his life to her has not confined her and chose his Divine Mission as Superior to loving a mud person it was then and there that she decided to stop Giza swearing in the name of khun back in the present Giza is informed that his army is retreating because of the dire situation outside he looks down and realizes Rene is nowhere to be seen K senses the urgency in his eyes and asks where Renee is seeing K distracted Giza takes this last chance to cast however he fails making him Wonder how this Barbarian is still standing as strong as an iron wall knowing his body has become weak he leaves the result of the war included a victory for Northland humba watched the corpses of the sky people and was informed that the majority took their own lives rather than become prisoners of War meanwhile K searched for Renee among the dead but she was nowhere to be seen his men soon captured the man who had been guarding Renee and he informed them that back then Renee was found by the priests who prepared to take her back to the Golden Forest on their way through Sabato Rena comes to know that Giza is unable to cat neak on northlanders it is why he was bleeding back then and didn't kill the northlanders on the spot she wonders what it is that's protecting them Sabato reveals that their power weakens in Northland and Giza had meticulously planned a performance for her alone a foolish person who fell for his act out of fear for K realizing that Giza took her as bait she becomes Furious and vows to make sure he pays for everything he has done back then she convinced the man to tell everything to cun assuring him he was kind as she got on board she told the man to tell GTI something at the Temple of Nana while gizo was having a meeting with the Southland leaders he was informed that Renee had retreated to the Golden Forest and since there's no one watching over the Forest right now it's the perfect time to gather firewood he bursts into laughter at her attempt to keep him away from cun he then orders the man to go to the Ghana Plains and tell this to K while returning to the Golden Forest himself dismissing himself as the commander and chief he reveals this all to cun as well as what message Rene had to relay he reveals that she had nothing to say and rather looked sad as she spoke those words K later resolves the issue of rations and appoints humba as his successor much to everyone's shock leaving for the Golden Forest to save Rene he reveals he's aware it's a part of giza's scheme but he has to go despite his protests his henchmen vows to go with him meanwhile on her dying breath Sabato asks Renee what it was like to be loved by Giza she asks Renee to tell her she was so happy she could die but she later asks her to tell her it was horrible and says she lived a pathetic life like her mother who passed away a long time ago she reveals she was an incredible priest but when she found Giza had her branded she planned to kill herself and Sabato she reveals that Min her mother also had the same branded on her she further reveals that the former Galer had become a realist saying they should be grateful for luxuries on Earth rather than seeking the heavens she then tells Rene the location of her belongings saying she didn't burn them she then asks her to relay a message to Giza before bringing the tree which is to give him another chance saying she owes it to her mother as well Renee eventually agrees and Sabato hands her her Divine Stone bracelet and asks her to tell Giza to be grateful for the luxuries and abundance granted to them and she breathes her last she finally reaches the forest and finds a little girl there who reveals her mother is fighting in the war proudly she had been told by sabata where her things were and went to that bird cage in armanu she remained hidden in the heart of the Golden Forest waiting for Giza to return she sat in that Hollow all day overthinking about what to do next Giza soon returns and is enraged to know she escaped soon enough northlanders appeared on gondolas to the Golden Forest and Giza ordered them to prepare for battle Rene is shocked to see him here and wishes for him to leave she halts as she comes face to face with Giza confessing that he set this all up he then reveals what K told her about just killing him to achieve his goal he then asks why she waited to set fire to the forest and she reveals she wanted to give him a chance to give up on his mission she reveals it was because of sabato's Last Wish and reveals what she asked to relay to him but Giza just laughs and mocks her sanity he then instantly charges at her but Renee doesn't hold back and attacks him as the gondolas approach closer she gets a bad feeling the feeling she had when she almost died Giza slams her head hard and begins to kill her his murderous look reminded her of a Time long ago a beautiful warm person she kicks him hard and succeeds in setting the tree on fire he is informed that the northlanders are also setting fire to armanu he defeats Renee and confiscates her bracelet he wasn't sure if killing cun would resolve anything but this was the only path left for him now as he strangles her a voice suddenly appears it was cun all gter ears rang with the priest's announcements of their losing of girl made her way to them but she is stabbed by her mother who then kills herself making Renee shudder as he grabs her by the hair cun makes his way to them and threatens him to take his hands away but he knows he can't release it since it might hurt her caught off guard K's Arrow pierces through Giza but he instantly uses to knock him off the tree he then injures Renee but before she can be killed the Black Rock Kung gave her begins glowing and it makes her think of one thing at the moment she stands up and gets stabbed by Giza while she uses the and necklace to send armanu to flames it was as if the tree had been waiting for his moment Giza bids farewell to her saying he always wished to leave with her he asks cun to stop approaching them or he will dig the dagger deeper into her he kisses her and Renee takes this opportunity to stab him with arman's Branch as Rene's Vision blurred and she heard cuns pleased to wake her up she realized this was enough but she becomes shocked as gizor reveals that since she has become the new Galler the pain has transferred to her as he takes his dying breath he asks if she has something to say to him she admits to making him realize what she wants to say he begs her not to so he can die as the leader of the sky people meanwhile K approaches her begging her to stay conscious on the other hand Giza could see K right in front of him and knew he could kill him but then will he really be able to ascend to the heavens and what exactly was he stopping her from telling him he realizes he has something to do and immediately rushes to Renee he tries saving her he knew he had to recite the end but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't remember it he knew he needed to extinguish the fire before he went and comforted the child but but he keeps forgetting something important he has to do she screams with pain and cun realizes what has happened she curses at in Anna remembering her prophecy stating I see two men who shall end your life two men who shall be the death of you cun cries wanting to put out the fire but she begs him to stay by her side as she has little time left he Embraces her tearfully and she repeats how much she loves him she reveals she was a fool not to follow him to the temple that day as being his wife even for one day would have been nice he decided to do that then and there and he takes her as his wife in front of Udo and she agrees to be a faithful wife wishing for Udo to bless them so they stay connected for all eternity they promised to hold on tightly and kiss passionately and in that moment Renee regretted nothing they watched the fire grow bigger but they were happy to be with each other he takes her far from the fire and Renee apologizes for her hard words when she had left Salt City the northlanders had won Renee asks if she looks pretty and he says she's the most beautiful person in the world world he prays to Udu the ruler of the Sun at that moment over and over not to let her hear sorrow and tears in his voice so she too won't be sad as K's Warriors approach him they see him carrying his Queen suddenly someone pierces him from behind and out of the blue he is bestowed with golden Wings by the time words spread that the priests and priestesses of Golden Forest were only pretending to be Sky people and were descendants of man eating Eagles and in reality it was the half beats tribe that were the actual sky people it became known after six-winged kidu gave armanu the glory of light before he embraced her it is why armanu became beautiful while kiddu turned hideous as a result his children were like him but the man-eating Eagle's children were born beautiful like armano this is why kiddu believed them to be his children and gave them his powers and what was shocking is that the black dragon knew it all along after the man eating eagle that lived in the White Mountains ate armanu he died by one of kidu's arrows but the Eagle's evil Shadow remained looming over his its descendants who lived in the golden forests kidu came to know he was fooled after he saw his reflection in the pond afterward he set off to Salt mountain with the sky Warriors in search of his real children however without the glory of light his face appeared as that of a beast to others and the mountain inhabitants mistook him for the man-eating Eagle so when they were threatened by the false descendants later kiddu shed tears for the people of Salt City to protect the people there the reason why kiddu HD his true identity the entire time was because he was shamed to lose his glory and become ragged or maybe to protect his children the Golden Forest burned for 10 days becoming a pile of Ashes the Allied Forces of southin began to lose ground after all of the golden forests troops were killed off K looked like a true God from above the battle flapping his snowy white six wings and with that the war ended on the other hand cun was glued to Rene's bedside what was odd was that Rene's body hadn't started to Decay yet and according to K she wasn't dead but was sleeping instead and he refused to bury her he contemplates sacrificing himself for her life despite his Nanny's disagreement he had her surrounded by all her favorite things so she'd be happy when she woke up he notices arm manu's finger he brought back with which Renee stabbed Giza he prays to Udu to let him know where his wife is wandering wishing to be taken where she is that night kiddu comes to him saying he gave his glory of light and eternal life to his armonio what will he give for his armano he jolts awake wondering if he's dreaming goodu reveals that for a human to return they need Inky's water and plant of life as well as human life in exchange for this he says he doesn't need eternal glory or life and just wishes to spend eternity on Earth with Renee he took her body to a temple and remained there for 10 days his Warriors go there in search of him and see him dead a dagger Pierce through his chest but before humba can prepare for his funeral K wakes up but his beloved hadn't he wonders why he cannot die in where Renee is the next day he goes out and is stunned to see that arman's finger is alive making him cry with joy meanwhile Renee makes her way to the Fortress she is told someone is in her way of dying forever but she doesn't jump in the puddle or go inside the Fortress where there is nothing but happiness she asks if cun's inside but the man denies it this was enough reason for her not to go in and rather go back to her world and she has granted her wish she returns to her cun and asks who she is and who he is KH Embraces her instantly and she realizes he's come the scene shifts to convincing Renee to go on a short trip to Elda Isle without informing others as it will be a hassle she eventually agrees he asks why she wants to go there anyway to which she reveals she'd like to visit the Temple of Anana she remembers the prophecy and says the time has come to finally talk to her they set off for Elda Isle the next morning she heads up to the temple while K waits for her under a tree a man approaches him praising his wings but he hits him with his stick seeing him talk informally with him he tells him to eat something while he waits for his wife KH asks if he's here for a ritual to which he reveals he is here to see his son daughter-in-law and grandchildren he reveals that his son ran away a long time ago and fell for a lowly girl rebelling against him but now he feels no anger and comes to see him Rene soon returns saying there was no Priestess inside the old man asks her to relay her message to him and he will tell his sister who visits often she then reveals that anan's Oracle was technically right Giza did kill her and she killed him K caused her to die because he killed Giza and she cornered K to death they are the men who killed her and whom she killed and also the two men who saved her and whom she saved but in the end her own belief came true or rather she made it come true the man whom she saved and who saved her was the one man whom she loved and who loved her the brave courageous path they took together is her reality now and so she beat the Oracle she then reveals to K that she received another Oracle stating Rene of Salt City you will bear a child she reveals that it isn't a blessing from Anana but rather a gift from someone who loves her dearly they then leave as K Wishes the old man to reunite with his son the day of the Spring Festival arrived and the young girl turned seven she was told by her father that seven is a very important age as she will have to compete for a very precious stone her name is duri meaning forever she wanted a fiercer name but she heard her father lose so much hair to come up with a name that she decided to appreciate the name for his sake she was the only girl among the three brothers of a quadruplet her brothers got in trouble multiple times a day but she was nothing like them according to her she was fascinated by the stone her mother had and so she had to compete with her dummy brothers all the children practiced their best to win the stone over but more than anything they thought long and hard about the power they wished for the stone to have but duri couldn't come up with a perfect answer as the day grew closer all she could do was sigh all her brothers had either wished for strength money or fun she recalls the story her mother told her in her Brothers she tells them about a land where the great Anana is completely powerless and in that moment she understood the power she really wished for time flew by quickly and before they knew it the Spring Festival had arrived the time had come all the siblings gathered in their father's throne room but what surprised durri was that there were also Elders Warriors priests and Chiefs from other tribes present it is then that she realizes that this wasn't a simple competition it was a test to decide on her father's successor her brothers expressed their wishes one by one and soon it was her turn she wishes to put love into the stone she explains that the keeper of this Stone gave up their life and left behind their whole world for love she believes love is the only Power strong enough to make anyone do that she then uses her parents example wishing to pass on the power of love to their descendants for generations to come everyone was pleased with her answer and she became the winner making her happy
