Since coming to Timur, there has never been a day when she was comfortable in her heart.

What was the secret that Abella didn’t know about and caused people to reject or worry about her?

“Sigh..”

Abella touched her head.

Additionally, Gilmus and the Duke of Sirius met. What kind of contact did they have?

Gilmus was a man of malice to Abella. He wanted to take Amerigo from Abella and reclaim his shop back.

Otherwise, Count Gilmus would be ruined.

It was unlikely that Count Gilmus had moved for no reason in this urgent situation.

She should also find out about the relationship between the two.

Besides, she knew that Yuri went to meet the wizard this time..

‘What did you find out?’

Abella was overwhelmed with worries.

“We have arrived, my lady.”

Abella took a deep breath and got out of the carriage. Abella paid the coachman an extra and gave him a command.

“Can you find out the movements of Count Gilmus? In secret.”

“Yes, lady.”

The coachman was one of those loyal to the Duke of Amerigo.

In fact, the earliest rumors in Timur were from the employees. The number of rumors passed from their mouths to other mouths was enormous. So whenever they needed to look at something, they would employ these coachmen.

Besides, the coachmen had few behavioral restrictions.

They gathered in groups waiting for the owner to come in the carriage and shared leaf tobaccos. It meant that they would also gather around Amerigo’s coachman to obtain and smoke leaf tobacco.

When people gathered, stories would emerge.

Additionally, high-ranking aristocrats frequently visited Yuri’s restaurant. Even at a glance, Abella could see several carriages with the emblem of a famous family.

Among them..

“Cade?”

Abella frowned.

It was because the imperial carriage was also mixed in between. Only Cade was able to ride the imperial carriage currently. He had no brothers or sisters, and because he was the only child born for a while, the blood had become precious in the imperial family.

The curse of Skellus also affected them.

Six generations ago, an imperial child was born on Skellus Day.

Fortunately, the child was the second child, and at the time the Emperor killed the newborn child. Since then, the seeds of the royal family have dried up, and Cade was the only child the Emperor saw from the Empress.

So it must be Cade who got in the wagon.

‘Why is Cade here..?’

Whoever he was meeting, it was a suspicious move, so it deserved Abella’s attention. Abella gave a long sigh.

“You won’t believe me, but I’ve never lied to you.”

He had never told a lie.

Assuming that all of Cade’s words were true, there were a few things Abella could guess.

“Watch out for Arsene.”

“Don’t trust him.”

Arsene..

Did Duke of Sirius, Arsene, have anything to do with the things of the past?

Abella swallowed her dry saliva.

It was something she didn’t want to even speculate about. Arsene had always been on Abella’s side. He was the only one who held Abella’s hand when no one was holding her, and he was the one who shared friendly warmth.

That was why Abella chose Arsene as her fiancé.

Abella exhaled greatly.

Hopefully, the truth waiting for Abella was enough for her to bear. Abella tried to turn her gaze and opened the door.

“Lady Abella..!”

The waiter, who was waiting for her, quickly went after her and bowed his head.

“I have a room ready.”

“Please guide me there.”

“Yes.”

Abella looked through the closed doors with her eyes. Cade must be somewhere here.

Abella’s room, reserved by Yuri, was situated in the deepest area of the building, so along the way, Abella was able to look through all of the rooms.

‘Cade, Cade..’

It seemed that she could hear Cade’s voice because she kept repeating the name.

“..Hey. That..”

It wasn’t Abella’s illusion. Abella and Cade’s eyes met. Cade frowned through the small open door. Then he smiled.

‘Who are you seeing?’

It looked like he didn’t want to be noticed. Cade was honest and straightforward in words. He would keep his mouth shut about things he didn’t want to say. That’s why she thought he was an easy-to-read character..
