It seemed that they didn’t even think it was the Emperor who came in such a manner.

Abella looked quietly at Count Gilmus’s face and spoke.

“.... Don’t ever enter this place without permission again, Count. Also, don’t call out my mother.”

“Okay, okay, I’ll do it!”

Count Gilmus cried hastily.

Even now, the Emperor’s piercing words seemed to resonate in his mind.

The nobles’ evaluation of the young emperor was consistent.

A crazy dumbass who you couldn’t communicate with.

Therefore it was important that whatever the Emperor said, it was important to realize it.

At Count Gilmus’s words, Abella nodded with a grimace.

What happened ....

‘You agreed to something that you’ve ignored so many times before.’

Abella looked up at Cade.

She always thought this, but Cade knew how to use his own powers in a timely manner. Just like now.

After Count Gilmus left the house, the Emperor looked at Enoch who was standing sullenly.

“What about this one?”

It was very rude, but Cade took it for granted.

“I am Enoch Clemington, Your Majesty.”

Enoch tactfully introduced himself, but Cade asked Abella again, pretending not to listen to him.

“Abella, who is this?”

Enoch had already introduced himself, and through his investigation, he would already know who Enoch was..

“.... This is Enoch Clemington. He is helping me.”

“Oh, then can you leave the room for a while.”

Cade glanced at Enoch.

“I really have something to talk about. It would be nice if people who are not relatives were not involved.”

Enoch pressed his mouth shut.

The Emperor made the atmosphere feel very unpleasant.

*

It was no coincidence that Cade visited Abella like this today.

Since Abella came to Timur, and even before, he had been fully aware of her actions.

He didn’t seem to know much about Enoch, the man next to Abella.

Cade swept his face.

Even today, after hearing the news that Count Gilmus was heading for Amerigo, he followed hurriedly.

‘Because he’s like a bunch of money eaters.’

There were a lot of eyes watching yesterday.

He was going to talk about something he couldn’t say before. Cade glanced at Abella.

“My neck hurts. How long are you going to stand up? Just sit down, Abella. I won’t leave until I’m done.”

Eventually, Abella sighed and sat across from Cade.

“What is it? Is there another problem with my qualifications?”

“You think so? I came because I literally had something to say.”

Cade clicked his tongue.

“Abella, there are people coming back to investigate the carriage accident eight years ago.”

“....is that so?”

Abella bit the flesh in her mouth.

It was Abella. To be precise, Yuri, who helped with Abella’s work, was digging into the case.

It’s natural especially since she had to lose her father in vain.

Abella watched the Emperor, who was rarely silent.

His dark hair scattered randomly, a clean nose underneath it, and his dark red eyes that seemed to pierce into a person.

Abella’s eyes met with the pupils revealed between the Emperor’s fingers.

“Stop it, Abella.”

“....”

“You better bury what you wanted to ask.”

Cade’s affirmation shut Abella’s mouth.

“Why....”

Why did people only give orders to Abella like that?

Leave this place, do not return, do not try to know.

Because she’s the devil? Because she was born on Skellus Day and she was cursed?

“Why?”

So without realizing it, Abella asked back sharply.

She had to pretend she didn’t know Cade.

The old feelings accumulated here and they seemed to burst.

The longer she spent in Timur, the more she felt this wasn’t her place.

This huge Amerigo mansion suppressed Abella.

Her mother’s gaze and her relatives who took Abella for granted, and those who pointed at Abella wherever they went.

And even her mother, who now thought to use Abella in the name of protecting Simon.

Abella had no one to talk to about all of this.

Arsene?

Although her relationship with Arsene has improved slightly, he was still cold.

Arsene didn’t ask Abella anything, and he refused to listen. She had made no further progress since she said she would like to meet at the restaurant.

Abella was alone. Thoroughly alone.

This miserable moment quickly passed, and she was filled with thoughts of leaving Amerigo.

Abella’s heart was filled with emptiness, and Simon, who sometimes comforted her could not satisfy it.

But before that.

Before she left Amerigo she wanted to get rid of the label of a woman who tormented her beloved father.

She thought she deserved it. Didn’t she?
