Two figures, who were asleep in the room, woke up to the sound of the maid’s scream.

“Uh, uwaaaaaahh!”

Benjamin rolled down.
It must have been that he had closed his eyes in Lorelia’s sunroom for a while yesterday, but how did this happen?

Benjamin pulled the blanket up with a puzzled look on his face.

People flocked to the screams of the maid standing by the door.

Among them were Lorelia and Abella, both pale.

“How–how did this happen!”

And then a man in a white priest’s uniform appeared.

“What, what… … ! Benjamin?”

He stammered Benjamin’s name.

“…… This.
Lord Benjamin.
I don’t know when you visited Amerigo’s home, but you are causing such a scandal.” Abella muttered as she solemnly folded her arms.
Pale purple eyes looked at the movement in the room.
The man who had been sleeping next to Benjamin woke up.

“Ummm… … .”

Even in this situation, he was asleep the whole time because of how thick the nerve cord was, and now he had come to his senses.
The man looked around and yawned loudly.

“Yaawwnn…….”

“Who–who the hell are you!”

“……Lord? Don’t you remember me? It was none other than the Lord who called me to the bedroom yesterday.”

The man said it as if he was embarrassed.
The priest of the temple drew a sign in front of him.

Homosexuality was rejected by all gods worshiped in the Empire.

Only Skellus defended homosexuality.
He has a broad mind.

Thanks to that, even those who practiced homosexuality hid it quietly.
People would say that the curse of Skellus has spread.

Even now, they were already pointing their finger at Benjamin and talking about being cursed by Skellus.

How many mouths lived in Amerigo? This rumor would soon spread throughout Timur.
A story about Benjamin would rise in the fog.

Abella glanced at Benjamin and turned.

“Take the man with you when you go.
We can’t just watch the curse of Skellus stick to Amerigo’s mansion, can we?”

At Abella’s cool words, Benjamin’s face turned red.
He wanted to counter it, but there were too many people in this place.
Even the priest of the Great Temple witnessed Benjamin’s heresy.
There was no way out for Benjamin.

Abella passed by Grand Madam Amerigo.
She was a heartless mother who sacrificed her daughter over and over for her own comfort.
Abella’s expression darkened.

“Abella…….”

Even her voice could not reach Abella.

She might have wanted to ask, how did this happen? However, Abella simply returned back what she nearly suffered.

Most of Amerigo’s employees were sympathetic to Abella.
It had to do with the butler’s attitude and the butler, who had been taking care of this mansion for decades, took Abella’s side, so the employees naturally had a tendency to lean toward Abella.

The maid, whom Grand Madam Amerigo had bought, was accidentally caught by Simons’s teacher, who went to the kitchen and she was behaving strangely.
For some reason, it seemed that God was on Abella’s side.
How could such a great coincidence be on her side?

So she instructed the trembling maid to pour the medicine into Benjamin’s teacup.

Benjamin had no idea that this would happen, and he drank the tea without any doubt.
Benjamin, who was sleeping in Lorelia’s sunroom, was moved by the family’s servants.

And one of the servants, who was about to retire, voluntarily climbed into Benjamin’s bed.
And April set the mood appropriately with magic.

It wasn’t that difficult to undress a man who had been sleeping on drugs all night.

It was such a complete play.
Everyone agreed and was an accomplice.
It was only the Duchess and young Simons who did not intervene.

It was the first incident in which the entire Amerigo was on Abella’s side.

She did virtually nothing.
She only overturned the battle between Count Gilmus and Benjamin.
They didn’t realize their mistake and pretended that it was all Abella’s fault, but it already happened.

They were the ones who called the priest.
In addition, the priest used to show a very paroxysmal attitude towards the traces of Skellus, so even if the priest was on Gilmus’ side, this matter would not be brushed off.

Since I was given back as much as I received, there was no reason to keep the resentment.

“You look happy after a long time, Abella.”

“It’s really fun.” Abella shrugged her shoulders.

Now, Benjamin would have done this though.

What would Arsene do?

For Arsene, such a lowly trick would not work.

“Enoch.
Find Arsene’s weakness.”

“Weakness?”

“To catch the devil, you have to become the devil.”

That was Abella’s conclusion after much deliberation.
Arsene was also in the villa mansion.
And there was only one person who caught Abella leaving.
It was Cade.
If so, then there was only one person who did not take part in it.

‘Arsene…….’

She knew from a long time ago that he was pathologically obsessed with his possessions.
She had seen a dog or a cat that Arsene tore to death.
So Arsene’s actions didn’t really hurt Abella.

However, it was an opportunity to learn that Arsene was a person who could pose a threat to Abella.

Her heart was broken.

Abella held her accusation.
Timur itself was like a monster that could eat Abella.
The only people who were on Abella’s side here were Amerigo’s servants and Cade.

Gilmus’ dirty tactics didn’t hurt her, but it did shatter her heart.

“…… Count Gilmus is going to file for bankruptcy soon.”

“Then?”

“He’ll be sitting on the streets.
He’ll be running around to get a small mansion, but then you should go ahead and offer them a mansion.
I’m sure he wants to grab some straw, so he’s going to sell his soul to the devil.”

“Are you really going to give him a mansion?”

“No way.
In return for collecting the young children, I will send him to the northern mines.”

This was the mace that Abella threw down at Gilmus.
The northern mining farms were literally uninhabitable places.
It was a place where coal used throughout the empire, including Timur, was mined.

Abella arranged a way for Gilius and Benjamin to die.

So Gilmus would come to an end.

“I have to go see Yuri this afternoon.”

Abella wondered what else she would hear from Yuri.
Yuri would organize her memories that she had regained.

The reason she decided to do something she had not been able to do until now was because she realized through this incident that the nature of people would not change just because Abella avoided it.

There was no way that the bad relationships from the past could be resolved now.

Arsene had sent Abella a marriage proposal, and Gilmus pushed Benjamin in to jeopardize her life.

In order to prepare for anything else to happen, she had to find out what information Yuri might have.

*

“… … I was waiting.” Yuri said in a heavy voice.
“Are you okay?”

Yuri knew what Abella was going through.

She had heard from Enosh, and it was Yuri who searched and sent a medicine that was good for her body.

Rather, Abella burst out laughing at Yuri’s somber expression.

“You look like you’re dying, why?”

“I…….”

“Don’t make that face, Yuri.”

Abella rolled her vain gaze to the side.

The elegance of her tilting the teacup was rather felt as a defense mechanism to protect herself.

Abella’s stomach was more scorched than Yuri had expected.

“Because you don’t know…….”

Yuri groaned and was choked up.
The reason she couldn’t visit Abella or tell her story was because she hesitated that it might be better that Abella didn’t know about her cruel fate.
However, she was visited by Abella.

Yuri couldn’t deceive Abella, so she’d have to confide in everything she knew.

Abella put down the teacup.

“I’m sure you know more than you say, Yuri.” Abella said in a low voice.
“I’m just here to put an end to my guesses and guesswork.”

Abella turned her still gaze to Yuri.
“…… My mother and Amerigo’s family members.
And even Arsene Sirius.”

Yuri’s face turned pale.
She knew what the sequence of words Abella uttered meant.

“A–Abella…….”

“I know to some extent.
So you don’t have to feel guilty.
You don’t have to look like that.”

The indifference and bluntness ripped Yuri’s heart.
It felt like her heart was shrinking.

Everyone in Timur united to kill Abella, so why did Abella look like that?

Yuri pouted her lips and asked, “Why aren’t you crying?”

“You’re going to cry for me.”

“… … If you are tired, you should cry, you idiot!”

“Just because I cry doesn’t mean they will look back on me.
Crying does not mean that the father who died will come back.” Abella had a sad smile on her face.

She didn’t know why that figure was seen by Yuri as a crying figure.

Yuri burst into tears on Abella’s behalf.
