‘Is it the damn destiny?’

Cade slowly opened his mouth.

Abella did not stop even though she suffered to the brink of collapse. ?He doesn’t like it when he has to believe the wizard’s words that it was just the echo of the magic and nothing will happen to Abella. Cade sighed.

“You always put yourself in danger. You don’t even know how dangerous it is to you.”

“What do you mean....?”

Abella’s voice trembled.

“The price of knowing the truth will be expensive. But, no matter how many times I warn you, you won’t stop.”

“Cade.”

“Your friend will get the answer soon. Until then, enjoy the tranquility, Abella.”

No matter how much Cade blocks it, he can’t stop all the truth from being revealed. This time, Cade decided to leave everything on its own.

“I have to go. You go in too.”

“....Do you come here sometimes?”

“Why do you ask that?”

“....Because I am used to it.”

It was sad that he was expecting to hear it without knowing that. Cade shrugged and waved his hand. It meant that he would go back now. Cade turned his back, leaving Abella in the early morning twilight.

*

She didn’t think she could sleep.

Abella sighed. Was she fascinated by the magical moonlight? ?It wasn’t at all awkward to have a friendly conversation with Cade. It was rather familiar.

“Strange.....”

Abella clenched her teeth.

Still, she got something from meeting Cade today. The events between Sirius and Count Gilmus are clearly linked to the past.

Ah. Cade was also sure of Yuri’s existence.

Maybe he knows the source of intelligence Abella planted in the imperial family.

‘There’s nothing I don’t know about in the empire.’

If so....

“No way. Are you here because you’re worried about me?”

Abella’s shoulders were drooping. If he knew everything that was happening in the country, he would have known of Abella’s collapse.

“What’s wrong....”

Why are you being so sweet, Cade? Since then..

She noticed one more thing. There was also a secret between Abella and Cade. Abella’s lips trembled.

“What the hell has happened.... ”

Abella blankly looked up at the sky. The thick fog of Timur seems to make her confused. So did her memory look like this too?

*

Simon pulled the door.

“Kiing.....”

Early on, he woke up and was looking for Abella. Simon pulled the heavy door.

“Simon?”

Abella found Simon running through the hallway. Abella opened her arms towards Simon. She was walking around the garden, and she was on the way back, thinking she had to prepare breakfast soon. Abella hugged Simon.

“Aunt!”

“Why did you get up so early? ?Are you hungry?”

“Aunt! Simon..eam.. I had a dream!”

“Dream?”

Simon nodded his head. Abella rubbed her lips against Simons’ plump cheeks, wringing her hands. Abella patted Simons’ back.

She doesn’t know what dream he had.

Often, Abella thought Simon spoke in a grown-up vocabulary. It seems like he was trying to stretch his tongue out to try to pronounce it correctly. ?Abella stared at Simon.

Even though she knows it can’t be, he’s full of weird things, so she imagined it’ll be weird.

What did Simon..

“What kind of dream did you have?”

“Ummm.. a scary dream!”

It can’t be. Abella laughed lightly.

“What kind of scary dream is it?”

Simons puffed his lips and hugged Abella’s neck. The smell of the baby sticks to the tip of her nose. Abella took Simon tightly and took her steps. ?Any complex thoughts seem to be simpler when she’s with Simon.

Is it because of the purity of a child?

“Umm.. a terrifying dream! Aunt was sick..... Simon doesn’t like it, no.....”

Simon rubbed his cheek against Abella’s collarbone.

“Auntie is sick? I don’t think so..”

“No, oh .... Simon will protect auntie! If auntie is sick, Simon will blow on it.”

Abella burst into laughter.

Simon looks exactly like Carlo. It would be like Simon if she shortened Carlo..... Thanks to that, she used to be comforted when she saw Simon. ?Abella blinked her eyes.

“Since Simon says you’ll protect me, it doesn’t hurt at all. Simon would blow on it. Then auntie won’t get hurt at all!”

“Really?”

“Of course!”

Simon burst into laughter. She wiped Simons’ hair. When this kid is big..

When he’s old enough to carry this giant Amerigo.

Just imagining after that seems to be making her stomach it. At that time, will Abella face all the truths? What choice will Abella make in front of the truth?

Timur’s fog blocked Abella’s way, covering the truth.

Cade.

That Yuri will come to the truth

The truth that Abella would know would drive her.. She was terrified and curious.

‘I’ll tell you after I find out more. When it becomes clear.’

It would not be long. The day she will know everything.
