In the forest, Alea stumbled upon a boy named Aqma, who was gathering wood. Startled, Aqma asked, “What’s a princess doing here?” Alea replied confidently, “Why? Just because I am a princess? It doesn't mean that I do not belong here?” Aqma doubted Alea’s ability to handle the forest. Determined to prove herself, Alea gathered firewood but sprained her ankle in the process. Aqma rushed to help, scolding her for being reckless. “I told you that people like you don't fit into this nature!”Aqma said. “What the heck, I just sprained my leg anyway.” the princess replied unhappily “Only? You don't realize you've just inconvenienced me.” During their debate, they heard the sound of the bushes getting closer to them. “Did you hear that?” Alea whispered. “Stay behind me,” Aqma said firmly. Suddenly, a snake slithered out, hissing at them. “Aqma!” Alea shrieked, hiding behind him. “Grab the wood, quickly!” Aqma shouted. Using the firewood, he scared the snake away At a safer spot, Aqma built a tent. “You okay?” he asked. “Yes. Thank you,” Alea replied softly. “I’m Alea, by the way.” “I’m Aqma, You’re braver than I thought, for a princess,” Aqma admitted. “And you’re kinder than I expected,” Alea said with a smile. The next morning, Aqma helped Alea back to the palace. “Alea!” the King exclaimed. “Where have you been?” “I’m fine, Father, thanks to Aqma,” Alea said. The King turned to Aqma. “Thank you for protecting my daughter. You are always welcome in this palace.” Before Aqma left, Alea stopped him. “Stay for a meal, Aqma. Please.” Smiling, Aqma agreed. From that day, Alea and Aqma became close friends, sharing many adventures together.
