Enoch rolled her eyes, glanced at Abella, and shook his head.

“Nothing. I was just saying that Vincent is better than Timur. You didn’t say it was this foggy.”

Enoch grumbled.

“Huff.”

Timur was a city with frequent fog no matter the season.

There was one more thing that made Abella worry.

Abella had no intention of inviting Amerigo’s close relatives tomorrow. However, Mrs. Amerigo opposed it. It was a common practice that went against the tradition of Amerigo.

The reason was that even if they were struggling, it was necessary to give others the impression that Amerigo was still continuing its tradition.

Perhaps the most strange thing was the deception of her mother, who gave birth to Abella. Why did she suddenly take their side?

Abella never thought it was a pure kindness from Mrs. Amerigo.

She frowned at the headache. Strangely, she felt like her headaches were getting more frequent these days. The doctor said it was due to stress and advised her to eat comfortably. Was that even possible....

Abella pressed her forehead.

“.....The fog of Timur is like the people here. I have no idea what’s going on.”

“That’s why it’s often foggy.”

Enoch sympathized with Abella’s words. Even at this late hour, there was a thick fog. The streetlights that lit up the street were dimly visible.

“Let’s go to bed now, Abella. You look pale.”

Abella nodded her head.

“....Abella. If you have a hard time, you can tell me anytime.”

“Thanks, kind Enoch Clemington.”

Enoch smiled lightly.

Having a conversation with Enoch made her feel a little refreshed. That was the power Enoch had.

It must be thanks to his meticulous and friendly personality.

Abella walked side by side with Enoch.

Enoch brought her to the front of her bedroom and said his greeting.

“Good night.”

“Hmm.”

Enoch hesitated for a while before he bent his back. Abella’s pupils dilate.

Enoch covered her cheeks with both hands. She had no idea what Enoch was trying to do.

Enoch’s deep blue eyes sank like the abyss.

Enoch gently kissed Abella’s forehead.

“I hope you have a good dream.”

His lips touched very lightly.

Enoch opened Abella’s door. Enoch, who lightly pushed her shoulder, smiled brightly.

“Don’t have nightmares.”

Abella wrapped her hands around her forehead.

The people of Vincent were open to physical contact. She was aware of that fact. However, this was.. Enoch’s first contact with Abella.

*

“Auntie!”

“Ack!”

Abella screamed unknowingly and raised her body. A little kid jumped on her.

Yesterday she slept really well, thanks to Enoch.

The thing that attacked her was Simon.

“Auntie!”

Simon, who was usually mature, couldn’t hide his excitement today. Simon pulled Abella’s hand.

“Simon....?”

Simon nodded his head loudly.

“Yeah! Simon.. Simon is going to escort my aunt today!”

Thanks to Simon, who expressed his thoughts hard with clumsy pronunciation, Abella had no choice but to laugh.

This little gentleman would escort Abella directly.

She didn’t know where he learned that.

Additionally, he expressed his will by clenching his two adorable fists.

Like Carlo when he was a child.

Abella stroked Simon’s head.

“Will you do that?”

That would be one of the ways to solidify Abella’s commitment to Simon – to enter with Simon.

She needed to show it clearly to the viper-like nobles who were filling the large banquet hall.

Who was the next Amerigo?

“Yes!”

With no idea of

Abella’s calculations, Simon nodded innocently. Abella swept Simon’s forehead.

“Simon is protecting auntie!”

She had adapted to that word now.

Abella hugged Simon tightly.

It was a pleasant morning to forget about the days filled with intense worries.

Yuri, tired of it, passed through the gates of the capital.

She only had one idea in her mind now. She must pass it on to Abella once she uncovered all the truths of the past. However, the clue of the truth that the wizard gave Yuri was more than she thought..

After a long time, she turned to the place where the Amerigo mansion was situated. It stood proudly in the sunshine that shone on Timur.

Amerigo’s sign was distinctly visible from a distance.

“Abella....”

She was not sure if it was right to convey this to Abella.

It was a shortcut to destroying Abella.

Yuri sighed.
