Haerin and the Elf Princess, Hevana clash within the competition with the elf princess having advantage in numbers and Haerin having the advantage of the forest's blessing. Even the elf princess didn't expect that the ancient forest would Haerin. That ambush was done at the right moment and something Haerin isn't supposed to be able to dodge.
But before she was harmed, the trees in this forest had made a move and surrounded her. As an elf, Princess Hevana is sensitive to Elementals and nature. The hidden wild elementals didn't make a move just now but these trees had gained temporary sentience all just to protect Haerin who was supposed to get hurt.
Looking at the tree branches gently wrapped around her, Haerin said, "Thank you for protecting me. I will be alright now!"
The tree branches hesitate to let go of Haerin. In the end they made a move that was unexpected and attacked an elf like Princess Hevana making her escape from here.
