“What did I do wrong, mother?”

“Isn’t the world chaotic? I’m talking about what if.”

Abella laughed as if it was absurd. It was Lorelia’s side who had to be careful about her conduct.

Why didn’t she know that there could be nothing good to come out of hanging out with a guy like Count Gilmus?

Abella turned away from Lorelia.

The gap between the two had already become irreversibly deep.

There were also relationships that were better off to turn away from than to have a conversation.

Lorelia bit her lips hard. It felt like a solid wall had been formed between Abella and Lorelia these days.

No matter how bad Lorelia was, Abella in the past, would come like a child who wanted to be loved, but she was now starting to turn away from her.

Severely....

‘They look alike.’

Lorelia drank the water in a hurry.

Her expressions, her gestures, and her actions that turned away from Lorealia all resembled him.

Diego Amerigo.

Diego loved Lorelia, but he didn’t love her darkness. The feeling of inferiority that Lorelia showed was just turned away with that expression.

Diego couldn’t understand Laurelia, who was anxious and conscious of being seen by others.

It was only after she knew that overcoming the difference of status with love only existed in fantasy fairy tales.

She had come to this point because she couldn’t let go of what she held already, but..

Lorelia grabbed the glass of water.

Her sense of inferiority, which made her ugly, covered her stomach like a snake again.

Her anger was directed at Abella, who resembled Diego, a natural noble.

Rather than being sentimental or thrilled to see the mature Abella..

It seems that even the end of her affection is extinguished.

Abella was becoming more and more like Diego. Lorelia hurriedly closed her eyes.

This was because, no matter how bad it was, she didn’t want to show off her feelings of inferiority against her child.

Abella liked Lorelia like that.

She could be calm now.

Another scab sat over her wound, but this is fine.

It was Simon who awakened Abella, who was in deep thought.

“Aunt?”

“Huh?”

“Simon wants to eat that!”

Abella held onto Simon, struggling with his short arms, and smiled brightly. She gave the child something to eat.

“There you go. Is that enough?”

“Yes!”

Simons nodded, shaking his chubby cheeks and moved the fork vigorously.

Abella helped Simon move his fork as it didn’t go the way he intended.

As she was looking at the child, her dark thoughts seemed to go away. It’s okay as it is. She just wanted want it to stay like this.

Thanks to the new business that Abella and Enosh started together, the Amerigo estates were also energized.

In the Amerigo estate when Abella arrived, only ordinary farming continued, but commercial activities were dying.

Of course, in the past, there was a time when Amerigo was also immersed in the land business.

However, as if there were no red flowers for ten days, the business of the estates had declined, and Amerigo’s heads turned to the outside.

Amerigo was devoted to playing money.

He invested in the business of another family and took over the shares of the business and took advantage of it.

In fact, the heads of Amerigo thought that the land power of the estate was almost exhausted.

Since the place was not remotely close to the sea, it was not possible to make money from fishery activities.

Then, ore and special crops excavated from the land were all the resources that can be produced in the territory, but it had been a long time since there were no more minerals except for a few mines.

That didn’t mean that there wasn’t a person in the estate who had the intention to develop special crops.

However, Abella and Enosh discovered the use of minerals that were rolling around like stones in the mine.

There were so many black stones that could be used.

At first, there were only five wizards in one country, so it seemed that a mineral called magic stone would not have emerged.

Because wizards could not appear without blood connection to the noble imperial family.

Only five wizards belonged to the current magic control tower of the Charope Empire, the Magic Tower.

And even though they were all far away, they were with imperial blood.

Magic stones could only be used by those who could wield magical power. So, people other than the wizards did not turn their eyes to the gemstone.

It was just a useless stone for the general public.

However, Abella and Enosh dealt with the gemstone from a different perspective.

Magical power was not only available to wizards. ‘Magic swordsmen,’ who had practiced swordsmanship for a long time, could also use it to develop certain types of abilities.

It was not magical but was in the form of an aura. It was related because the appearance of wielding an aura and wielding a sword was like magic.

Thus, unlike a natural born wizard, anyone could become a magic swordsman. The nature of the two powers was different.

However, even though the nature of the two powers were different, the two powers were the same in that they were powers that ordinary people did not have.
