"Looks like everyone is having fun." Kyra looked at a man coming who said these words. He wore a crisp white high-collar shirt, buttoned neatly up to the neck. Over it rested a fitted dark brown vest that added a sharp, formal touch to his look. His trousers were dark and slim, tucked neatly into long socks that reached just below the knees. A simple dark belt secured his waist, carrying small tools or items he might need. Completing the outfit were polished black shoes with buckles, giving him a precise and professional appearance. But on a closer look, you could see lots of stains and dust on his outfit.

Kyra's eyes focused like a tiger hunting saw the man coming, but she retracted her gaze immediately, trying to untie the boys from the mess. The man gazed at them and ignored them as he went away toward the Queen.

"Greetings, my Queen. I have done the routine check and found no abnormalities in the machine, but I did feel something lacking in it." The man said as he fixed his glasses, his slightly bald head shining mysteriously.

The Queen's eyes shrank, but she said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work, Stein Mateo. It is very helpful for me since you came here and decided to work for little money, only asking for a shop for yourself." The Queen properly thanked him since she knows how much people can ask to work as a Heart Machine Technician.

"Hmm, no need, Queen. I am just doing what I like," Stein said while giving her the report for the machines.

"Hey, Mr. Tool Guy, how are you doing?" Natalia said while playing with the little Princess.

"Hmm, my name is not Tool Guy. What's with everyone here? Most of the people here have simple yet weird nicknames," Tool Guy complained.

"Hmm, not everyone has it, though," Princess Natalia said, now focused on Tool Guy.

"Hmm, that weird girly kid has one. It's Gloomy, right?" Tool Guy pointed at the still-fighting boys.

"Hmm, yes, because he is gloomy. That's why it's Gloomy." Everyone tilted their heads, telling him there was nothing wrong with that.

"What about Queen Mother?" He pointed at the Queen, who shy away as if someone had found her secret.

"Hmm, because she is Queen and a mother for everyone. Same for me—I am Mother Veny!" She thumped her own chest to tell Tool Guy not to bother asking.

He sighed and then said, "Then her—Little Princess. No one clearly remembers her name." Tool Guy smirked.

Seeing this, Little Princess roared, "Hey, Mister Tool Guy, why are you making fun of me? Look at yourself—can't even make a single proper tool!"

"Huuhhh!" Tool Guy's mind broke as he also roared. "What are you talking about? Here, check this out! My new super-duper invention! With pressing one button, you could make this metal plate move, making air out of nowhere. It works because of this little guy who, somehow mixing three types of materials, can help it move." He showed a drawing to Little Princess, who, seeing it, just—SNAP!

"Miss Emmy!" Little Princess said with a deadpan expression as Maid Emmy came out of nowhere and opened a window from which lots of wind came and blew away some hair from Tool Guy's head. Tyra also jumped in from the window and landed on the Queen's head, looking curiously at the commotion.

"Guhhh! Fine! Now this—my ultra-super-deluxe cooking equipment! Without using any energy tool, you can burn fire and cook food in this! It was an accidental discovery. I slipped into the animal waste outside the boundary while doing some research and found out that I could use the gas coming from it to burn things brighter. Then, with lots of research, I created this tool where with just one spark you can get a continuous amount of stable fire for cooking!" Tool Guy confidently thumped his chest. Everyone looked at him weirdly as they increase their distance from him.

SNAP! Little Princess again snapped her fingers as Maid Emmy brought a similar tool—just turned the valve and fire, small, efficient-looking, rather than that big diagram on the sheet.

"I know, I know!" He turned his pages while slight tears on his eyes and showed one more. "Here, look at this! The new super-modern ultra-super-ultra best tool of all time, for which I failed a thousand times! Here, see this—a weird-looking glass object with something inside. See this? The inside glows bright when it's heated to a certain level, then bloom—you get lots of light! Isn't it amazing?"

SNAAAP! Maid Emmy brought a glowing globe. "Agh, so bright! Fine, fine, I give up!" Tool Guy sighed in complete defeat.

Seeing this, everyone laughed as the Queen suddenly asked, "Hmm, Stein, can those—"

Before she could finish, Tool Guy said, "No, my Queen, they are not really useful. Their material is way more expensive than these tools. I was just playing around with them. It has lots of problems in it, whereas energy tools are very good, clean, and efficient. Only top Crowns can afford to just play with it. No future at all." Tool Guy just rejected her thinking as he closed his notebook, making her slump down.

"Hey, hey, Tool Guy, I will come to your shop soon to find a strong thing for a energy globe to be attached."

"Oooh! What globe?" Tool Guy asked.

Little Princess slowly brought out a grey globe. "This is Big Brother Zack's globe, he gave me as a present! I want something suitable for this to be attached as equipment or a jewellery," she said while gently holding it. Natalia also smiled, thinking of her own present which she also had yet to decide on how to keep it with her all the time, thinking on how Zack gave Sasha a locket, her eyes shine brightly as if making her mind to do the same.

"Oh, oh, that Zack kid had done it! Aah, I gave him so much globe, but he didn't give me back with this weird grey power, which I have never seen before." Tool guy took the globe and checked carefully. "Hmm, interesting. I could try some things with this. Hey, Little Princess, can I have this globe?"

Tool Guy asked, but Little Princess immediately snatched back the globe, saying, "NOOOO WAAAYY! Big Brother Zack entrusted this to me, so I am not giving you anything! Blehhh!" Little Princess stored it back carefully.

"Sigh, fine, fine. I will ask him myself. He hasn’t come for a while, maybe I will give him more tools of mine to test it out in the wilds," he said while laughing evilly. "Heheheh."

Seeing this, Natalia pouted in anger and said, "Hey, Tool Guy, don't use Zack as a guinea pig! I will cut your remaining hair if you continuously make him test your weird tools!" Natalia said in irritation.

"Ooohhhh." Tool Guy smirked and said, "I forgot. I also made a potion that could entice LOVVVE FORRR SOMMEONNEE if given to him to drink." Tool Guy said as he saw Little Princess and Natalia's eyes focus, and they shouted, "SHOW THEM TO ME NOWWW!"

"Hehehe." Happy with reacting, he brought a colorful-looking globe. He opened it slowly as both princesses glued to the bottle, then suddenly—GLUP! GLUP!—he drank it in front of them and said, "YEAAAHHH, good taste! I like this alcohol a lot. It brings shivers down my spine." He smirked at the princesses, who, seeing this, pouted in anger.

Kyra, with a side eye, saw everything but didn't show any reaction when suddenly—TAKK!—her face was hit with struggling Gloomy hand. "Ouch! Hey, little kids, calm down, will ya!" The two, hardly separated, started again. "Grrrhhhh! Aacckk! Ouch! Aaah..."

"Did someone take out booze?" Grandpa came as he smelled the air.

"Hmm, don't you have anything else in mind, old man?" Leader Remek looked at Kyra as he came and kicked Alfie on the butt, who fell way ahead, rubbing his butt and glaring at Gloomy.

Grandpa also came and picked up Gloomy like a rag. "Hey, hey, don't disturb the lady, will ya? Sit properly in one place." He picked Gloomy like a rag and gave him to Kyra, who held him from his back and sat on the sofa while fixing Gloomy's hair. Alfie also sat down beside her, bickering with Gloomy.

"Hey there, Tool Guy, you got some goods for me?" Grandpa looked toward the colorful bottle.

"Ugh... here, you can try it," Tool Guy couldn't help but give it to him.

"Ooofff, heheh, this is the best!" Both laughed while drinking.

"Grandpa, don't drink in front of ladies and kids! And why did you throw Gloomy like that, huh?" The Queen complained to Grandpa.

"Right, right, that's what I told him," Mother Veny also vented.

"Hey, hey, this is the Land of Eirs, where winds blow 24/7. Nothing will happen even if you fall without clothes—just some scratches and you are good to go. Don't be so dramatic," Grandpa, getting drunk, just shrugged it off.

As they were complaining, Leader Remek asked the Queen to talk for a minute alone. The Queen nodded as she placed Tyra from her head to Mother Veny's head. At some distance, he saw Kyra Mills playing with the kids. He said, "What about her?"

"Hmm, what about her? She is my new friend, Kyra Mills. She would be staying with me for a while," the Queen said warmly, looking at her taking care of the two boys.

“But—” Before Leader Remek could say anything, the Queen cut him off. “Uncle Remek, I know you’re worried, but I feel she’s a lot like me. Her eyes are always sad even when she’s laughing and playing. Whenever your mind gets free, the only things that come to it are worrying thoughts that make you both mad and sad. It becomes a continuous cycle—again and again—until you turn into an almost emotionless person. That’s who she is: an emotionless soul searching for a way out of her darkness.” The Queen said sadly, “Let her stay with me. She won’t hurt anyone—of that I am sure.” She looked at Leader Remek, and when he met her eyes he simply nodded in agreement.

"Good, then come. Let's sit and enjoy our time." The Queen reassured Leader Remek as everyone sat together.

Grandpa, getting slightly drunk, shouted, "Little girl Emmmmyyy, where are youuu? Is she gone?"

"No, Grandpa, I am still here. Please tell me what you want me to do?" Maid Emmy respectfully bowed as she came out of nowhere.

"Hmm, what are you doing here? Get outtt! I gave you meat to let the little ones eat. Go early and make them a proper meal. Go, shoo, shoo!" Grandpa looked at the Queen.

The Queen smiled and said, "Yes, you can go early today and have fun with everyone," she smiled.

Listening to this, Maid Emmy felt warmth as she bowed toward them and said, "I will do that. Thank you! I will take my leave then." Maid Emmy bowed and went away.

The Queen, remembering something, looked at the still-playing Kyra with the boys and said, "Kyra, why don't you bring your things here? The sun will set after some hours. We should eat together," the Queen said warmly.

Listening to this, Kyra said, "Are you sure, my Queen? I... I... I don't think it is a good idea. I have—" Kyra hesitated but still decided to speak. "I have a sick kid, and I don't think it is a good idea to bring him here with these little ones present." Kyra said as she closed her eyes, remembering her kid.

After some silence, Mother Veny and the Queen got up quickly, making the princesses thrown away like fallen rags as they walked in a hurried manner.

"What, what, what! You brought your kid here? Where is he? I mean, why didn't you say it sooner? Go bring him! I will call the doctor and let them have a look! What are you sitting around here for? Go!" Both ladies grabbed her by the shoulders as they shook her with strong force. In between, was Gloomy and Alfie present who went into darkness as huge shadows cast over them.

"Huh? I... how can I leave my sick child alone? I brought a maid who looked after him when I am not around," Kyra said as she released Gloomy and Alfie. Both, taking the chance, slipped away from this dangerous zone. She stood up and, with her head down, said, "I still don't think bringing him here will do any good. I had many people look at him, but they were only able to maintain his condition for now." As Kyra kept babbling, the Queen Mother—PATT—lightly patted her head and turned Kyra around. "No talking. Just go bring him with your things. If I don't see you here in an hour, then I will send my guards to bring you forcefully."

"Yes, yes, go, go!" Mother Veny pushed her, not letting her speak, as she was sent away.

"Siiighh." Both ladies stood near the entrance as they looked at Kyra as she went away with large strides. "She said she had looked everywhere for a cure but couldn't find anything. Can our little city help her?" Mother Veny said worriedly.

"I don't know, but we have to try. We have to keep trying until we could see the light. And who said our city doesn't have miracles?" She looked toward Mother Veny and smiled.

Mother Veny, seeing this, smiled. "Hehehe, that's true. We have our own miracles," as both looked toward the horizon, seeing the gigantic rocks in the far-away distance, feeling the wind on their bodies as the sun slowly started to calm down a little.

.

"Huh? What?" Fia turned around and asked the three others who were closing the door and chatting.

"What?" everyone asked curiously.

"Hmm, I thought someone called me. Well, whatever, let's go," as she looked ahead in her sleeveless dark top made of rough fabric, tightly fitted and slightly torn from use. A few leather straps and belts were wrapped around her waist and chest, giving a rugged, practical look. Her pants were dark and close-fitting, tucked into sturdy boots. Red cloth bands were tied around her wrists, and her outfit looked built for movement and survival rather than style.

"Hmm, let's go." Big Guy locked the door and said with Lurvi on his shoulders while wearing a cream-colored shirt with a lace-up neckline and rolled-up sleeves. Over it, he had a light brown tunic tied with a wide leather belt that had metal buckles. His pants were dark green and tucked into mid-calf brown boots. The outfit looked simple and practical, fitting for someone who works outdoors or on a farm.

"Hmm." Both Sasha and Zack nodded as they went toward the 4th rock to get their job done.

END OF CHAPTER

echan : neck

neck kisses perfectly describe changmin's way of loving

they're playful and cute, but they also can demonstrate possessiveness and a heavy desire to show your love for someone

changmin is clingy and a physical kind of lover, and he isn't afraid to show it off to everyone either (honestly sometimes everyone gets tired of it)

so often when you are out with friends or just hanging out together his lips will somehow find his way to your exposed neck. usually his arms snake around your waist and is leaning into you as he leaves light pecks against your nape. a gentle reminder of his love for you.

however in a more private setting, those kisses against your skin definitely light on fire because one thing about changmin is when he loves, he loves hard and he will always find a way to let you know that you are his. and he wouldn't have it any other way

d1 : nose

if you know dongil you know that he is one of the more playful members who tries not to always take himself too seriously, and it really shines when it comes to his way of loving

nose kisses is a pure and playful form of love and can really display your adoration for someone.

you could be laying down looking at your phone or wrapped up in his arms, you would always receive little pecks on the tip of your nose with those big shiny eyes looking at you full of so much love

sometimes when he really wants attention (everyone act surprised) he will get in your face and brush his nose against yours, small eskimo kisses so that you will stop whatever you're doing IMMEDIATELY and cure his boredom

gk : lips

it's very simple but it's the most effective way to express your love for someone. kisses can be gentle, intense, playful, literally anything you want it to be

gwanghyun is a very straightforward and direct person so any kind of kiss on the lips is the best way to express his love (he's probably not a pda guy though)

whether it's short cheeky pecks, stealing your lips and you chasing back or the deep sensual ones where you could be locked against each other for hours just exchanging breaths without realizing how much time has passed. every kiss is something different and that's what makes it so thrilling

he isn't always good with words but he genuinely loves you a lot. while he is a man of few words, his lips can speak for hours

heechan : cheek

heechan is a cheeky one. he is the most touchy of the members and he is always seeking for attention.

cheek kisses can be seen as flirtatious and a way to see how much a person likes them, but i feel like heechan likes them for his own reasons

heechan likes to joke and mess around so these would be his favorite way to tease you. coming over and asking him for a kiss and he'd start kissing your cheeks. he knows it upsets you so he makes sure to give you pecks everywhere BUT your lips. this leads to you two chasing each other around the house laughing and smiling until you corner him into finally giving you what you want

but heechan would definitely casually wrap himself behind you and give you light pecks on your cheeks. it just makes him happy to give you even the tiniest bit of affection (and he likes the way you smile at every kiss that comes your way, so he will do it over and over)

lune : forehead

seongmin honestly isn't easy to read and he doesn't express himself very outwardly either. he also never really showed a heavy interest towards skinship, but with his partner it's a little bit different

forehead kisses are very gentle and an adoring way to express your love for someone (especially if you're not always vocal about it)

he's a shy person but he also is very loving and to him the small little things are the most important compared to heavy displays of affection. he loves to play with your hair, running it through his fingers just zoning out, and he will brush the hair out of your face to plant soft little kisses on your forehead. they're very random but when he does you can truly feel the love he has for you, holding your face and just giving gentle pecks that are filled with just so much emotion.

the pecks are his way of always letting you know that even if he doesn't say it, his love for you will always remain and he will reassure you over and over again (and honestly he enjoyed receiving them as well)

junseo : hand

he's another member who isn't really a pda kind of person and honestly is a little shy. so a lot of his affection usually isn't physical, but one thing about him is that he won't ever say no to holding hands

he will make any kind of excuse just to have your hand in his and he will keep his grip tight until he is forced to let go (he is never happy about it)

hand kisses can symbolize one's devotion towards another and that's exactly the kind of person junseo is. he is a very sweet and caring guy who has a lot of respect for anyone and everything around him so it makes sense why kissing your hand would be his favorite thing to do

he isn't very touchy but he loves bringing your hands up to his lips and pressing gentle kisses against the knuckles, your wrist, anything. they're never long or lengthy, but it's enough for you always to turn your head and look at him with a smile

yuku : angel (eyelid)

everything about yuku is cute from head to toe, and love with him reflects his personality, including his kisses

angel kisses show fondness are the most comforting thing to receive, and can be used in many situations (but it's biggest impact comes with crying)

yuku has an aura that makes you feel safe and comforted. he's a person that is just easy to open up to him and you're able to just be yourselves when next to each other. yuku loves to just squish your face when your both laughing or giggling or just talking and give little pecks right on your eyelids

but not everyone has good days, so when things are crumbling yuku always makes sure to stay by your side, kissing away the tears so he doesn't have to watch them fall down your face

a lot of people don't understand it but to yuku, these little kisses say a lot more than 'i love you'

harry june : head

head kisses provide a sense of safety and comfort, it's a very simple gesture that might not seem very impactful to the average couple, but to harry it is different

he is an awkward kid. and honestly he doesn't usually understand his own emotions and how to handle things. love is no exception. love to him is more just doing things like friends do with the exception of kissing and holding hands, so he's very casual about love and how he approaches it

while he may not be a super intimate person, one thing he loves is just giving gentle kisses on your head, especially when you're both sitting and your head is laying on his shoulder, he will just run his fingers through your hair and leave little kisses. it comforts not just you, but him as well
