CH 166
"My Lord, you have to go now."

Meanwhile, Sarah, who was left alone, muttered, exhaling her breath she had been holding back.
"Calm down my heart. Why are you beating so fast?"
Although Ethan smiled as beautifully as before, her keen senses knew he was angry the whole time. Seeing the duke who smiled at her until the end while being angry with her, instead of terrifying her, it made her heart beat wildly.
"What if he looks cool when he’s angry? It's a sin to look like that that when he’s not meant to be my man."
She walked slowly, muttering that if this was Korea, she would have filed a complaint a million times. He said he would not cooperate with such confidence, so it was clear that he would be quite uncomfortable to use Ambrosia's power. However, she liked the way Ethan looked at her, even though he thought it was a headache. Her heart was fluttering with his sincerity. 'You can't do that without liking me!' was her idea. She had been suspicious little by little, then gave up, doubting, and then giving up, saying that there was no way. But at this moment Sarah felt a subtle conviction. Her mind was saying that this wasn’t just a one-sided feeling.
"......You'll have to wait and see, Duke-nim. In relationships between men and women, it's more advantageous to realize it first."
Sarah hummed confidently.

Under the barrier of the Alton Estate, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Duke of Ambrosia all gathered. The long wait had finally come to an end. Ilior, the Second Prince, approached Ethan and asked him, trying to hide his tension.
"Duke Ambrosia, could the magician who accompanied you this time remove that barrier?"
"Of course."
Although Ethan confirmed it, Ilior, who had never actually experienced magic, still could not shake his anxiety.
"If she fail, the alternative is......"
"If you leave it to her, shouldn't you trust her, Brother?"
The Third Prince, Eleon, saw Ethan Ambrosia's forehead narrowing with annoyance and quickly responded instead. Eleon, who vividly heard from Penelois and Elexa's testimony how great magic was, had a relaxed expression on his face.
"That's right, but."
