Cade greeted Abella with a glance, then reached out his arm and closed the door. She didn’t see who he was meeting.

‘If you want to hide it that much, I will be even more curious.’

Abella swept her head.

“This is the place.”

The waiter opened the door wide.

Yuri had not yet come. Instead, warm teapots and teacups filled the empty room.

“The chef mentioned that this was before the meal, so we didn’t need to prepare any desserts. If you have anything you need..”

“I’ll talk to Yuri. Please call the chef.”

“Yes, my lady.”

The waiter left, and Abella sat down.

Her tea, moderately brewed enough to her liking, filled her mouth. Abella closed her eyes and felt the calm settle her complicated head. Yuri’s strength was that she understood other people’s needs well.

And soon after, the door opened.

“Ah. The food preparations are a bit slow. I have instructed the assistant chef to cook it himself, so it will take time.”

“Yes, chef.”

Yuri, who beckoned the waiter, opened the door and entered.

“Ah, Abella.”

“Yuri.”

“I came in a hurry because you arrived. I thought you had something to talk about, so I asked for a meal to be prepared.”

Abella nodded her head as if she had done well. Yuri filled her empty cup and smiled lightly.

“Do you have anything to ask?”

“..for now, how was your visit to the wizard?”

“I heard something, but I still have more to find out. It’s better to be certain than to be uncertain. Please give me a little more time.”

Abella felt a slight sense of relief and disappointment.

She smiled in vain. It was a relief.

Was that what Abella felt? She didn’t know why her feelings were so contradictory.

Abella answered slowly.

“Good. Please do that.”

“And what do you want to ask?”

Gilmus and Sirius.

And Cade.

Abella pulled out the things that bothered her.

“There seems to be some form of relationship between Gilmus and Sirius. Do you know anything?”

“..”

Yuri shook her head.

The faint pause between her answers bothered her, but she decided to believe Yuri’s words. Even Enoch, who was frequently suspicious of others, believed in Yuri.

Yuri wouldn’t hide what Abella needed to know.

***

“Then find out what’s going on between Sirius and Gilmus. The Duke and Count Gilmus met separately at Simon’s birthday banquet.”

“Do you know why they met?”

“I couldn’t hear the story, even though there weren’t just one or two maids that I placed in the banquet hall. They must have been extremely cautious.”

“..I’ll find out.”

“Okay. And.”

“And?”

Abella spoke slowly.

“Do you know who the Emperor is meeting now?”

“Now?”

Yuri tilted her head with her eyes open.

It was the easiest question Abella asked today.

“Hmm. Duke Sirius, Arsene Sirius. He’s meeting that person.”

Arsene and Cade.

Abella roughly laid the cup down. After their relationship broke off, the two had never communicated with each other. But now they sat face to face.

‘Did this change occur because I returned?’

Abella rubbed her eyebrows like a habit.

“You don’t know what kind of conversation the two are talking about, right?”

“If I know, will our restaurant be closed?”

Abella laughed lightly at Yuri’s mischievous words. Yes.

Enoch went to Abella’s business and heard pleasant news. The new identification he requested arrived from the Clemington Kingdom. Not Enoch Clemington, but the ubiquitous Jackson Clight was the new name.

“What are you going to use this for?”

Serene asked as she handed Enoch his new identification.

Serene was a secretary to Enoch’s personal affairs, but now she was assisting the Timur branch in Abella’s business. Of course, her real affiliation was the Clemington royal family, and she just took care of Enoch by being his secretary.

Serene looked around and closed the door of the office.

“Prince, the royal family keeps asking you to come back to the country.. How long will you be here?”

“Well.”

“Ah, priiinncceee! I have no more excuses! I gave them the reasons for a cold, pneumonia, a friend’s wedding, a funeral for a friend’s parents, and even the excuses of being busy. If I continue to do this, the queen will punish me badly!”

Serene stamped her feet. Since he met Abella in Vincent, he had never returned to Clemington, so he deserved to go back to the royal family. However, Enoch looked at his new identification card and smiled.
