**Chapters 3-12: The Golden King's Rebirth and the Dawn of a New Era**
The narrative picks up with the reawakening of a "Golden King," a rare descendant possessing the same radiant power as the legendary founder of Arcadia's nation of Frontier. This new Golden King is revealed to be a reincarnated soul from Earth, possessing two souls within one body. Known affectionately as "Chiihiro" or "Little Miss" by her adoptive family, she was sent to Arcadia as an "activator" to correct world imbalances, with the understanding that she would return to Earth once her task was complete. However, indebted gods granted her a wish for her next life, which she used to return to Arcadia and be reborn as the adopted child of a kind royal chef, Drago, and his wife, Sakura, a former princess of the now-defunct Kilfan Empire.
Chiihiro's reawakening occurs on her and her twin brother Chihaya's birthday. Her adoptive family, including Drago, Sakura, and their close confidantes Romel (Drago's younger brother and a noble) and Dolfen (a skilled warrior), are overjoyed by her return. They decide to keep her true identity and powers a secret, particularly from Chiihiro's former royal parents, who dote on Princess Fatima (the original vessel Chiihiro had once inhabited). Drago, fiercely protective, vows to leave the royal palace if necessary to shield Chiihiro from further hardship.
Chiihiro, now a young child, quickly demonstrates her unique nature. She befriends various magical creatures, including a giant bee named Merda, a snake named Mi-chan, and a frog named Muguta, who become her constant companions. Her twin brother, Chihaya, however, is terrified of these creatures, leading to a humorous and challenging period where Chiihiro attempts to help him overcome his fear. This "monster friend operation" involves strategic placement of creatures and patient acclimatization, with the giant bee, Pochiko, playing a crucial role in gradually introducing Chihaya to the creatures.
As Chiihiro grows, her past life's experiences and knowledge manifest in her actions. She expresses a desire to become an adventurer and begins rigorous training in swordsmanship and physical conditioning at the knight academy under the guidance of Captain Harold and Dolfen. Her exceptional talent and dedication, even at a young age, impress the knights, who recognize her potential. Meanwhile, the kingdom of Frontier faces challenges, including diplomatic tensions and the need to restore its agricultural output.
A significant turning point occurs when Chiihiro, through a dream, reconnects with the Arcadian gods, Chaos and Abyss. They reveal that her previous actions, intended to save the "Forest Lords," inadvertently completed a "Golden Ring" of magic, which has left magic and mana in Frontier. They task her with completing this ring by traveling to the world's edges and creating a new, larger Golden Ring to stabilize magic and develop new magical principles. This revelation sets Chiihiro on a path of "pilgrimage," requiring her to travel extensively.
Her family and friends rally to support her. Drago commissions a specialized, magically enhanced carriage to be pulled by her monstrous companions, while Romel works on magical devices to aid their journey. Chiihiro's desire to become an adventurer stems from her understanding of the impending global food crisis and the need for self-sufficiency and the ability to protect herself and her loved ones.
The narrative also touches upon the political landscape. Prince Willfe, now the Crown Prince, attempts to interfere with Chiihiro's training, deeming it inappropriate for a noble lady. However, he is swiftly reprimanded by Romel and Harold, who recognize Chiihiro's exceptional abilities and the necessity of her training, especially given her potential future role. The story also hints at the complex political implications of Chiihiro's potential marriage to Prince Teodore and the ongoing diplomatic challenges Frontier faces.
Chiihiro's journey is marked by her unwavering pursuit of her desires, her deep affection for her family and friends, and her innate ability to bring about change, often in unexpected ways. Despite the looming responsibilities and the complexities of her destiny, she maintains a childlike innocence and a determination to enjoy life, often leaving those around her bewildered by her actions and her remarkable resilience. The chapters conclude with Chiihiro and Chihaya having completed their knightly training and preparing for their upcoming baptismal ceremony, which will allow them to leave the castle grounds and embark on their adventures, while the world around them grapples with the consequences of past events and the potential for future conflicts.
