“Yes, sir,”

Then, someone outside called Sebastian.

“Major Desen! There’s a fight over there!”

As the two different forces moved together, they already expected a fight.

Sebastian sighed deeply and finished nagging at him.

“I’ll go and make sure you get some rest, sir. Stop looking at the papers. Even though you’ll spend it alone, it’s still your first night.”

Only because Sebastian is his subordinate for ten years so he can speak so insolently to him.

And it’s because we share pain that is similar to each other.

Gabriella’s death was also a shock to Sebastian.

I guess they’ve been close to each other.

‘I’m tired.’

After Sebastian left.

Somehow very tired, Ernst pressed down on his eyes.

When I checked the time roughly, it was 11 o’clock deep at night.

I’ll have to go to bed now so I can finish the next day’s schedule.

‘So I need to close my eyes.’

The reason why I couldn’t sleep was because Gabriella kept showing in front of me.

‘Even if you accepted this marriage not for the benefit of the North, but for revenge, I am still disappointed.’

The candle flutters.

Ernst clenched his teeth, knowing that it was just the wind, that no answer could be given.

‘I needed a reason to go all in the Daytime territory. That’s why I accepted the marriage. It’s easier to dig up the back of the first prince if I use the fourth emperor as an excuse.’

I try to make excuses, but it just falls to nothing.

I can’t reach her.

It’s a long time.

And yet why doesn’t she fall off his eyes like a stigma.

Ernst could still paint her clearly now even when he closed his eyes.

How Gabriella rolls up the corners of her mouth when she smiles. How Gabriella turns blue when she’s cold.

How soft her body is… It’s warm.

She was most attractive when her thin eyebrows were raised.

As the hostess of Eques, his spine would shudder when she showed dignity as an the hostess and the Grand Duchess. It’s so fascinating.

I can’t see you anymore.

‘I only make you feel sad.’

I couldn’t protect you the day you died.

For a long time, I let you be hit by the cold rain all alone.

As soon as I read the letter she left, I immediately ran out, but it was Gabriella, who was waiting for him, who was helplessly dead.

Ernst found it extremely distressing.

That’s why he goes to the place where she died alone on a rainy day.

If I didn’t do that, I’d forget a piece about Gabriella.

So he remembered her death longer than anyone else.

How the rain sounded that day, how tough the soil was that day.

How red was the blood that was only spreading under the broken wagon.

How cold was the body that was dying every second.

He regretted bitterly.

At the same time, white rage.

The ones who killed her. I will cut off the head with this hand, even those who are involved.

I can’t rest without it.

Fortunately, all his closest aides were of the same mind.

Gabriella was indeed a venerated Grand Duchess.

She didn’t laugh often, but when she smiled at him from time to time, I was drawn to the alluring smile.

There’s no way love would suit me, I thought it was arrogance.

At some point he was chasing Gabriella with his eyes.

They broke the second contract to not love each other.

The love was like a fever.

Ernst was not alone and thought of her silky skin.

There were many times when I blamed myself because my eyes stayed on her lips while talking.

Since he was in his prime of life, there were countless nights when he couldn’t sleep because he couldn’t hold her hand even though her body was sweet.

And the day I finally embraced her.

He felt like the whole world was mine.

No, I thought I didn’t need anything in the world but her.

It was love alone, but I dared to be happy.

That’s why it was taken away.

I wanted happiness that wasn’t even an option.

“Hey, Ernst. Are you there?”

It was then. A larky voice called him.
