Louisa spoke about her own abilities and experience, but it was for other reasons that Yuri acquiesced to Louisa’s request.

After she had already done her research on Louisa, she sent Abella the letter of introduction.

Perhaps Abella would welcome Louisa’s presence.

She had asked Abella.

She wondered why Abella wanted to bring in new people. From Abella, who was looking back at Enoch’s seat with a strange expression, Yuri was able to fully understand her intentions.

Yuri opened her mouth to speak. “So you’re saying you’re Prince Enoch’s fiancée?”

“Exactly, my ex-fiance.” Louisa laughed softly.

Yes, well. But she asked, why does she want to go there?

Doesn’t one typically avoid their ex-fiance?

Yuri threw puzzled looks at Louis. Louisa was an assistant professor at the National Academy in Timur. She gave up on it so that she could volunteer for this position.

“It’s time to be honest, isn’t it? Otherwise I may revoke the letter of introduction.”

At Yuri’s assertion, Louis opened her mouth as if there was nothing she could do. “I asked for an engagement resolution. Enoch is a stupid idiot.”

When was that story?

“It was when I was six years old.”

That was a long time ago.

“At that time, I preferred studying .. but now the bread I missed seems too big.”

Missed bread.

Louisa seemed like a tough person, too. Why were the women around Yuri so scary? Yuri stuck her tongue out.

When Abella casually slapped her on the back of her head, and Louis was openly revealing her calculating inner feelings. Did she know Yuri’s heart?

Louisa laughed softly. She said Enoch was emerging as the next contender for the throne, so that meant she was greedy. It was doubtful whether Enoch would accept Louisa.

Wasn’t Enoch in love with Abella right now?

Rather, if Louisa’s goal was ultimately Enoch, it was a good thing for Abella. She didn’t know if it was good for Enoch, but Abella didn’t want to give her heart out in the first place.

Enoch’s sloppiness had created this entire situation.

Abella was originally such a person.

She had been emotionally abused in Timur all along. Abella therefore hated being forced on feelings, which she did not want. It was wrong to even be caught. Abella must have felt threatened by Enoch. Enoch would have known that too..

Yuri let out a sigh, expressing her pity for Enoch.

Why was he so desperate?

However, there was no change in the thought that this was Enoch’s own initiative.

It was better to meet Abella than to write a letter to Chloe Amerigo. So Abella entered the palace in the early morning light. Although Cade had requested the meeting to be formal, she was guided to a private reception room. She was really puzzled.

This time, she couldn’t guess what his purpose was.

Abella tilted her head in confusion.

In front of her, there were tea and refreshments to drink, and the reception room, where Cade had not yet arrived, was decorated solemnly but warmly.

“.. His Majesty..”

“He will come. The inquiry has just ended.”

At Burke’s words, Abella nodded her head.

“I see.” Abella replied, and then added, “By the way, do you know why he called me?”

“I can’t tell you anything, Lady Abella.”

Burke’s reply was filled with strange hostility. Abella turned to Burke. There was no reason for him to act this way.

Well, Abella’s memories were jumbled up, so it was no wonder there was someone with hostility towards her. There was probably an event in the past that she didn’t remember.

Abella gave up on questioning him and turned her head away.

It was when Abella was fiddling with the teacup that Cade arrived.

“Oh. I am late.”

“No, Your Majesty.”

“Take it easy, take it easy, it’s not comfortable to listen to.”

Cade’s face was full of fatigue.

His eyes were dark as if he hadn’t even slept. Abella hesitated before sitting across from him. Soon after, she placed a teacup in front of Cade.

“Why did you call me here....?”

“I have two tasks.” Cade swept his hair and patted his neck. He pondered over and over on how he should begin.

“Which one would you like to hear first?”

“From the news that I don’t want to hear.” Abella answered bluntly.

In this case and in most cases, it was better to be hit first.

Cade laughed bitterly.

He didn’t know if this is something Abella doesn’t want to hear.

He just hoped so.

“..I plan to bring Lyla Amerigo into my harem. She will be the first to fill as concubine.”

Abella’s pupils dilated.

In her mysterious purple eyes, only Cade’s new form was reflected.

What did Cade look like in her eyes?

It looked pretty painful to him.
