He should have been honest from the start.
Even so, he wanted to create an excuse to keep Abella by his side.

Abella was unstable.

Her memories were not perfect, and even her mind was exhausted from the trauma that had accumulated over and over again.
It may have been best for Abella to leave Timur and settle down alone..

Talking to Abella when he doesn’t know what her greatest need was….

Cade was a big hypocrite.

Cade clenched his teeth.

Abella seemed to pop into his head countless times.

Thud-

Thud-

Thud-

Blood dripped from Abella’s back, her pale lips, and her tightly closed eyelids repeated over and over again.
He vowed never to lose Abella again, and ended up doing the same again.

Cade banged his head on Abella’s bed.

There were shouts and muffled voices coming and going.
The priest repeatedly stressed that Abella needed to be stable.
It was up to the patient if she would wake up.

But from where they heard the news, Amerigo’s worms ran like crazy.
It was they who were shouting and fighting outside.

“I have to see her face right now! I am her aunt!”

Evil voices could be heard all the way inside the bedroom.
Cade laid his head back on the bed.
Abella was asleep, motionless.
There was no sliver of warmth from her; she was like a doll made of marble.

“If that’s the case, then the temporary Head’s seat will be vacant! Therefore!”

“Everyone get out of here!!”

Enoch’s shouts were also heard.
In addition, there were tears mixed with screams and shouts of those who were trying to protect the mansion.
And none of them belonged to Grand Madam Amerigo.

Thud-

Cade banged his head against the bed once more.

The area where his head laid was hollowed out.
Cade looked back at Abella with a dark, somber expression on his face.
It may have been a curse that was holding up Abella.
Abella struggled in Vincent to prove she wasn’t cursed.

Then she returned to Timur and tried to keep Amerigo among those who pointed fingers at her, calling her a curse.
For Abella, the trace of the curse of Skellus was her death and the basis of her life at the same time.

Cade didn’t understand Abella.

He simply thought that Abella’s life would be much more comfortable when those who pointed at her were gone.

“Abella…….”

Cade’s voice cracked like a wild dog from hell.
Cade let out a grim laugh at her.
The sunken red eyes were gleaming with murderous energy.

“What hell…….
What hell did you live in?”

Cade’s trembling hand caressed Abella’s head.
A small wheezing breath was the only comfort at this moment.
Abella did not die.
She was not dead, she was alive.

Cade slowly got his body up.

Cade’s slow act as he opened the door and left, gave some unknown madness.

“Gasp……!”

“His Majesty the Emperor… … ?”

“Your Majesty, why are you here…….”

Amerigo’s dogs, who were talking loudly, kept their mouths shut.
Then they looked into each other’s eyes and took a step back.
All the nobles knew that Cade was someone who would do anything to achieve his motives.

And right now, Emperor Cade seemed to want to kill them.

“Well…….”

“You guys are really not polite.”

Cade was talking slowly.

“Right now, the head is resting inside, so why are you flocking here and barking like a group of dogs?”

Enoch and Louisa stepped aside.
Cade reached out his hand.

What was closest to him was now a young man who might have just turned 20.

“Kugh!”

Cade’s hand gripped his throat and the man gasped and let out a breath.
Cade’s red eyes gleamed with murderous energy.

The man pressed against the railing grabbed Cade’s hand and shed tears.

“Help, help me!”

Cade tilted his head.

“Help you?”

Cade repeated those words once more.
Abella had said that earnestly countless times since she was born. Please help me, I’m not at fault.
No, it’s my fault.

Such earnest words were not recognized by anyone here.

They were cruel people who could offer Abella as a curse sacrifice for immediate profit.
But, why?

“Help me, Your Majesty! Please, please…….
It’s my son.
my one and only…….”

Cade laughed out loud.
The old lady, who was horrified by the eyes looking back at her, stepped back.
Cade pushed the man further behind the railing.
Yes, they were only on the second floor.
Even though he wouldn’t die just because he fell from here, he was trembling in fear and begging for mercy.

But when Abella did that, what did they do?

Were they stupid people who knew pain but didn’t know when others were in pain?

“Now you understand these words.
Everyone shut up and get out of here quietly.”

“Yes, yes.
I will…….
Your Majesty, so…….”

Cade tilted his head.
If they said this now, wouldn’t they really cross the walls of Amerigo? Time and time again, they would crawl over the fence and gnaw at Abella.
The only thing he knew how to do was to kick them from Amerigo.

Cade pushed the man down the railing with the power of his hands.

“Ku, kugh!”

His hand were on the man whose eyes rolled over.

Boom-

Cade put him down.

Ah, now it seemed that the noise that had been bothering him in his head had stopped.
Cade muttered to Amerigo’s worms, who were weeping in tears.

“What’s wrong? He’s dead.”

Cade glanced downstairs.
He saw a man clutching his legs and crying like a child.
Look, he’s fine.

Cade smiled and looked back at the nobles.

“Go back.”

Those who had gathered rushed down the stairs in confusion.
He wasn’t dead, but it was clear that he was thrown down with a murderous intent.
Fearing that it might be their turn next, they ran away.
Enoch, who was watching the situation, sighed briefly.

“…… Is Abella okay?”

“I’m hoping she’s okay.”

Cade smiled as if he was fine.
However, he just confirmed that he wasn’t fine.
Cade was obviously crazy.
Casually throwing people off the second floor was not something anyone could do.

And then.

“Ha, ha ha ha ha ha!”

Laughter was heard.

“Arsene.”

“Look.
Cade.
You’re no different, are you? All humans live with a cruel and dirty inside.
Still, you’re just pretending to be stubborn and covering it.
Just like you.”

Arsene came up to the second floor with a bouquet of red roses.
It was so quiet that Arsene’s murmurs could be heard by everyone.

Cade showed his teeth towards Arsene.
A murderous energy different from before was shot towards Arsene.

“Don’t act like a watchdog like that, Cade.
Because I have no intention of doing anything to Abella.”

Arsene handed a bouquet of roses to Enoch.

“Actually, Cade.
Compared to them, I really haven’t done anything.”

Arsene shrugged his shoulders lightly.

“Do you really think I am the only devil?”

Cade sharpened his teeth.

“After all, you and I are the same.”

Arsene passed by Cade.
Cade grabbed Arsene’s shoulder as he was about to enter through the gap in the open door.

“But not you.”

Arsene grabbed Cade’s wrist.
Arsene clenched his teeth to Cade, who frowned and didn’t back down.

“…… I’ll see if she’s okay.”

“You were trying to kill Abella, too, Arsene.
But you’re coming now, don’t be hypocritical.”

“I…….”

Arsene took a deep breath.

“I’ve only imagined it, I haven’t experienced it.”

Arsene’s lips, who looked fine, were trembling.

“I never thought it would be like this…….
That I would feel so miserable and like a beggar…….”

Arsene’s grip on Cade’s wrist grew weaker and weaker.
Arsene looked up at Cade with empty eyes.

“Really…….”

Arsene rubbed his face with his palm.
He thought he wanted to kill Abella.
He thought that if he could not have her, he would rather destroy her.

However, he realized that he had never imagined that he had never seen Abella.
Arsene also realized that he would not have lived this world without Abella.

Arsene clasped Cade’s shoulders and exhaled harshly.

“…… Is she alive?”

“…….”

“Is she really alive?”

Cade pushed Arsene away.
Really, this guy or that guy.

How could there be so many hypocritical and bastard-like things? They didn’t know until Abella became like that, and was talking about their own superiority.
They trembled like a dog in the rain in winter, imagining that Abella might be dead.

Cade opened Abella’s door wide and pushed Arsene on the back.

“Idiot.”

Those self-pitying murmurs may have been directed at himself.

Arsene opened his eyes.

She looked like she was sleeping soundly.

“I replaced the priests and doctors.
At first I thought Abella might die.”

Cade was talking bluntly.

Cade’s face, leaning against the door, was vivid with deep fatigue.
He had barely slept a wink, going back and forth between the Imperial Castle and Amerigo.
