Ember did not mind being left alone as all her focus was on the rabbits. She had seen plenty of wild ones back in the forest around Ronan, but their furs were mostly darker and they were too quick to hide in the bushes as soon as they spotted her.

Meanwhile, the rabbits inside the fenced area were snowy white and round and extremely chubby, peacefully nibbling on the leaves on their feeder racks.

'So cute!'

She tried to touch the one nearest to her, but it hopped away before she could reach it. When she tried again, it ran away from her.

"Here, little rabbit. I'm a friend. I won't do anything else. Just let me touch you at least once," she coaxed, even putting some of the leafy greens on her palm to bait it to come nearer. "Here, here, little rabbit."

However, the rabbit avoided her, jumping away, causing the other rabbits to flee away from Ember. This caused her to be more motivated.

"Little rabbit, this friend is not scary—"

She followed the naughty rabbit she was targeting to catch, going as far as to enter the fenced area. But the moment she did, the rabbit jumped over the fence and fled towards the flower field.

"Wah! No! Come back!"

Ember could not help but follow the rabbit blindly, worrying that it might trample the flowers being cultivated carefully on the field.

However, the naughty rabbit disappeared from her sight among the rows of flowers.

'Where did it go?'

She looked around, trying to spot the fluff of white among the green leaves and colorful flowers… and realized she had reached the patch of land where the white flowers Morpheus warned her about were cultivated.

'Did that rabbit enter this field? Morph said it's dangerous.'

Loitering on the periphery, she tried to search for the rabbit but could not see it. After some time, she noticed movements among the white flower shrubs.

'Oh, no wonder I can't see it. It really went there. What do I do? What if something happens to that rabbit? What if it eats a flower? Morph mentioned that the scent is dangerous, then how worse would it be if it's eaten? I need to get the rabbit back before it gets hurt…but…'

She looked at those flowers gently swaying along the wind.

'I guess I need to hold my breath.'

Ember took a deep breath before entering the white flower field, not knowing she was not capable of holding her breath for more than a minute and this much time was not enough to find the rabbit. The moment she reached her limit, she ended up inhaling more than she should.

After a while, Morpheus returned to the fenced area where the rabbits were kept. He looked around but there was no sign of Ember.

'Where did she go? I told her to stay here.'

His majestic wings stretched open behind him, and with a single flap of his wings, he flew above the flower valley to spot the disobedient human girl probably carelessly playing around the field. With a quick sweep from the sky, his sharp eyesight immediately found his target.

'This little female really needs to be punished for sure!'
