She just wanted to go to a place where Skellus’s curse could not reach, and she could live freely.

Would it be possible by the time Simon was mature?

There would be no more lingering regrets.

Enoch looked at Abella with strange eyes.

Abella kept becoming weird after coming to Timur, and it often scared him. Enoch had never been afraid of anything before.

Some secrets were lurking in this foggy city..

Timur, a city, frequently shrouded in fog.

Injustice and lies were rampant here.

At Abella’s will, Yuri continued to dig into the incident seven years ago.

However, it was not that easy. People shut their mouths up like clams when they heard about the incident seven years ago.

When she mentioned it, they acted as if she were spreading an illness.

It was hard to find those involved since they all shut their mouths like that....

This was the last person Yuri found.

They were someone who seemed to know a little about the day.

He was a wizard who cast protection magic on Amerigo’s carriage.

Usually, the carriage used by the nobles had protection magic. And below the magic phrase, the wizard’s name could be found.

Yuri received the name of the man who made the carriage and the man who engraved magic on the carriage from Abella.

Once enchanted, it was almost impossible for other wizards to cast the spell.

It was due to the high possibility that the carriage would be damaged if he did anything wrong while casting a spell.

If any magical secret had been hidden in the carriage, the wizard would surely know it.

It took a long time to find him because the wizard had already retired and disappeared.

If the wizards made up their minds, they could disappear from the world effortlessly. It took a year for Yuri to find the wizard.

However, the wizard was discovered after an obsessive search. Now it was time to reap the fruits of the efforts.....

The wizard may have some information they could use.

At that time, the coachman who drove the carriage died instantly, and the coachman’s family didn’t know anything.

‘It’s strange.’

The more she dug into this case, the more she thought there was a hidden truth. So, she wanted to find out the truth. This way, Abella would no longer be hung up on the truth of the day.

It wasn’t just the coachman.

It was the same with the carriage maker. There were no traces of them despite being a famous carriage maker.

As a result, Yuri could only find three people.

The first witness.

The villa manager at the time.

And, finally, the wizard. But the first two had been silent about the incident.

The wizard was their last hope. She hoped it would be worthwhile for her to briefly leave the restaurant to the vice chef and enter this remote mountain directly.

The cry of grasshoppers in the deep mountains resonated softly.

Yuri took a step up against the tree.

“Uwaaa!”

“Yuri?”

“No. Lead the way.”

The mercenaries Yuri hired looked back at her and laughed. It was clear that they were laughing at her lack of stamina.

Soon, a shabby hut appeared in front of Yuri’s eyes.

She was aware that it was just a magical boundary, and she didn’t know what was hiding inside. That was what wizards did.

Yuri politely knocked on the door.

“Is anybody there?”

“....who.”

Fortunately, the answer came quickly. Yuri touched the door.

“I came here because I had a question about the incident seven years ago.”

Ah.

This person, they knew.

The pupils intermittently trembled as if they knew what it meant by just those words.

Yuri pushed her body a little further, opening the door.

The wizard realized that she had no intention of backing down.

“....Come in.”

Rumors that Abella had reserved a boutique ahead of Simon’s banquet hit Timur’s social circles. People were intently listening so they could find out what kind of dress the returning villain would wear.

Abella was the cursed child born on the day of Skellus, but she was also one of the most beautiful girls in Timur.

They enjoyed watching Abella like a clown.
