                The World of Gaia is divided between four mighty oceans to the North, South, East, and West. Between the ocean is possess an island that is comparable to the size of a continent. Chandanee was reading the books of the world in the library, where she learned about the world. Chandanee is the 5th Princess among the 3 Queens of the Kingdom of Sitaara, she was not chosen as the candidate for the Ruler yet been chosen to be the caretaker of the Nation Library and archives. 4 years have passed and, She is already 18 years old, a genius, and a young scholar. She is also a teacher that teaches at a small school in a far village beyond the capital. The Rosemary Village is called where she lived in a small hut, she hides her identity as the princess. Her hair is red as a ruby, and her eyes are blue sapphire, a trait that belongs to the dryad, she is also fairly short compared to the people, yet she is much more mature compared to others. She loved children and care for them. Chandanee always played with them while teaching them knowledge of the world. In a school that she used her own money to build. Maria who is her assistant is her bodyguard and also the maid that helps in her well-being. Chandanee visited the people of the village and assist them in creating a better method of farming, security, and village governance. The Village chief always welcomes her in guiding them. The school is also her home where the building is 3 story building the lower level is the school, the 2nd level is the library and the top level is her home. She always wore a commoner's dress and her maid always complains that she is not an ordinary person. Chandanee insisted that she will continue this lifestyle, “I am the one that wishes to not be chosen to be the candidate of the ruler… I loved this place. There is not a place that I will choose to live in for the remainder of my life as long as I lived. Although it does not hurt to travel around the world.. hehehe” Chandanee giggled and Maria sighed. Maria is great at housework and cooking, she is also a warrior and archer for the nation under the commands of her Brother that request her to protect her. “Chandanee loved to see the world, she always read books in the library chambers, and never once she tried to talk about ruling the nation, she is fascinated with the wonders of the world, her knowledge is already beyond the knowledge of our Sage King. Although the Sage King wishes her to be the candidate… Chandanee… I cared for her, she is always the subject of being bullied in the family, and her mother always hated it, forcing her into the hand of marriage. I’ve always objected to her marriage which I believed she understands” Maria agreed “Lord Torus allow me to be the guardian and guide for her. Someday she will find love…” Prince Torus replied “her will always book… hahahaha” he laugh and joke at Maria. Maria remembers Prince Torus wishes and commands and began to lecture Chandanee. Chandanee also possesses a bad habit she smokes pipes. “My goodness, no other man will be interested in you…” Chandanee smiled and explain that she loved the smell of the pipe which she learn from her elder brother “Lord Elrondus is always loved smoking this pipe and he always brags ‘if any man gets any closer to you bring him to me let me test him, only a fool will try to get closer to you as the Grand General of the army there isn’t any person will dare to get closer to him” Maria lectured her again “maybe you need to throw that unnecessary habit of yours, it is smell” Chandanee replied “I smoke the weed of rosemary and lavender that plant here, you want to try Maria” Maria then took her pipe, Chandanee was surprised “hey that is mine!!” She began to weep “Lady Chandanee hopefully you will find love.” Chandanee replied “I have also curious, you also have someone you liked is it? I wonder? Is it Lord Torus ?” Maria blushed and respond “is not funny!!” She knocked her head. Chandanee is a beautiful lady but Chandanee did not realize it. Maria always showed her the mirror yet she did not see it. Maria sighed and ask her to bath, “the bath is ready, please cleanse yourself with this smell of smoke” Chandanee went to the bath, and clean herself. Maria prepared her dress and Chandanee wore her nightgown and went to sleep. “Good night, my dear Moonlight”

In her dreams, Chandanee meets someone from the fields of flowers near the mountain range where she holds the arm of a man and heard him said “till death do us part…” after that, she could not hear anything. She walks beside him, Chandanee was happy as they hold each other arms. She felt sweat from her palm yet his hand was cold as ice. He was pale with silver and platinum hair. She walks towards the high mountain that was the forbidden realm that she had read. She look at him, he smile and they kiss in the mountains in the night when the star shine brighter than she had ever seen. She hugs her, she was happy, and began to weep at him. Chandanee said as well “yes, Till death do us part…. My beloved…” It was morning, a rooster began to call the morning. Maria was preparing breakfast. Maria went to Chandanee room to awaken her only to see her sitting on the chair looking at the sunrise. Her face was blushed, Chandanee heard her heart beats intensely as she hold her chest. Maria was concerned and ask her what have happen. “I never had this kind of experience before in my life… what is this Maria….?” Maria realise that she experience love. Maria smiled at her “did you have a pleasant dream, my Lady?” Chandanee remembers everything in her dream even how he looks. Chandanee tells Maria to wait for her “let us have breakfast, Maria” Chandanee wash her face and wore her dress to begin teaching.

The student wondered why their teacher look different. Chandanee didn’t focus on teaching where she wore on the blackboard and it wrote: “till death do us part….” The children said to her “teacher are we learning about marriage..?” Chandanee was surprised and tried to cover things, she explain to them “yes it is, this is the meaning of marriage. Children, what do you understand about love?” The children reply “eating?” Chandanee replied “yes Toka” Other children reply “being with my parents” Chandanee replied “yes Nikasa” and one of them replied, “a kiss maybe ?” Chandanee began to blush “yes Diang… , Love is also light and also darkness” the children wondered “it is not a good thing and also a good thing?” Chandanee explains “Love has a lot of meaning which possess not a good thing and also a good thing..” Chandanee smile yet her heart beats rapidly. “When talking about marriage, it is a proposal of Love and trust, they understand each other compliment, each other, argue with each other, and also fight each other yet it all led to one thing togetherness.” Chandanee continues to teach them which she teaches Language, general knowledge, magic, Arithmetic, and history. Maria teaches self-defense and survival skills to the children. She also teaches housework, where they practice cleaning the class before going back to their home. As the evening was near, the children left, Maria waves the children goodbye, and Maria headed back inside. Only to see Chandanee sitting in the classroom looking outside. Maria offer her “would you like to walk outside?” Chandanee agreed as she walk outside and wanted to be alone. Maria smiled “very well” Maria possesses a shadow agent that guards the village. One the shadow approached Maria “look after yet not to be seen” and the shadow replied “very well” it was a woman's voice. Chandanee strolled outside towards the farm and she began to experiment with a method that she is practicing. She tried to distract herself from remembering the dream that she had experienced. “With this, even a person that does not possess magic could also plant this, it is potato and corn that she began to test and including rice”. She observe it, and she also began to find a flower that is farmed on a vast scale in yellow. “This canola flower could make oil for cooking” as she heads farther from the village she saw someone looking at the flower, the man wore a hood she greets him “I have not met you before stranger, where are you from?” The man did not look at her and bow at her. He walks out and suddenly he said, “this flower is beautiful, and you and it is edible… interesting…” Chandanee wondered and reply “come again stranger..” A strong wind breeze towards her and covers her arm and the man disappeared. Chandanee realise someone is following her and she began to disappear from the shadow. Chandanee uses her invisibility and walks again farther to the place in her dreams. She saw in amazement, a field of flowers stretching towards the mountain range. Yet it was white, she sat there where it believed this is the place in her dreams. She felt a strong heartbeat in her chest, it was strong, and could not breathe and began fainting on the flowerbed. As her eyes began to close she felt something soft like a pillow. As she opens her eyes the stranger that she met at the Canola field. She jumps out and apologizes to the man and she slowly gains her vision. The man said to her “I loved this place keeps me calm and at peace…” Chandanee said to him “yes it is peaceful” only the sound of the wind and golden sunlight began to dusk. She stand there and said to him “are you a traveler?” The man replied “I m an adventurer… who travels beyond the two nations, this place is always fascinated me the most, I wondered why it is drawn to me here.” Chandanee smile and talk to the man for as long they could. Chandanee felt peace when talking to him. She talks about the world that knew from books. The man was amazed even in his cloak and hood, “it is amazing…but I found you…” Chandanee wondered why and the look at her. She saw crimson eyes and felt she saw something in the books yet she remembers from her dream. She began to blush her heartbeat began to palpitate again.

As the wind breeze again Chandanee closes her eyes only to see the hood of the man open. She could not believe this encounter. “I believe it is fate that brings us here…” The man had silver platinum long hair, pale skin, and eyes of emerald Chandanee could not believe it. “You….” As if the cog of destiny had started to move, a clock began to tick among each other. She tried to control her feelings and ask again to the man “why me…” the man replied “no one could not see me not even your bodyguard… my powers allow me to be hidden in eyes of those who are common or ill will yet… you have seen me…” Chandanee replied “are you a spirit? Or a ghost?” The man replied “oh I wish to be, if I had the chance to pass on yet I m here… you could see me.. I am happy…there is someone who has a good heart..” The man walks back and Chandanee asks him “will I see you again?” The man replied, “I have always been here this field that was once a barren land between the mountains and suddenly grew to a beautiful place…” Chandanee introduces herself “I’m Chandanee….” The man replied “Andhera…we will meet again” and he disappeared again. Chandanee smile. As the night fell Chandanee reach home. Maria was panicking and asked her “where have you been? I m worried you have been kidnapped” Chandanee reply “and here I am…” she smile. Maria knew Chandanee is in love. Maria felt nothing but relief that she is here and she is in love.
