Grand Madam Sirius bit her lips firmly.  Arsene gazed at Grand Madam Sirius who did not speak. It was because he couldn’t figure out what she was talking about.

What about him?

Grand Madam Sirius got up with a bang on the table.

“If you can’t change, you won’t be able to do it, son. I have a reason, so I can’t stand back. Next time, make sure to clear up the relationship between you two and come back. It will be good for you, my son, and for Abella.”

Grand Madam Sirius turned and walked away. After that, only Arsene remained.

*

The plot against Abella was not limited to one Count Gilmus. Since Abella’s return, her position has narrowed because it wasn’t just one person.

There weren’t one or two who believed in Count Gilmus.

The woman bit her nails anxiously and touched her lips.

“Why the hell are you not taking any action? Are you sure you want to see Abella taking Amerigo like this?”

Clay Amerigo.

She didn’t take Amerigo’s name off, even though she was married. It was because Amerigo’s name was greatly valued in Timur.

And Clay had another reason why Abella shouldn’t be here.

“Mother. My uncle wants to do it on his own. He was about to marry Abella and brother Benjamin.”

“Is that possible? Isn’t Arsene Sirious tough?”

“Do you know why the water is strong?”

Clay opened her eyes wide at the words of her daughter reaching the clouds. How hard she tried to pass on Amerigo’s name to her daughter.

And Grand Madam Amerigo granted Amerigo’s name to Clay’s daughter.

It was the result of constant pressure.

Rather than giving her daughter Amerigo’s name, Clay has been on the side of Carlo Amerigo for a while.

And her daughter grew up brilliantly, according to Clay’s expectations.

“It’s strong because it gets in without a sound, mother. After all, it is water that breaks the rock.”

“Lila. Speak to me properly.”

“There must have already been doubts between Arsene Sirius and Abella Amerigo. Uncle Gilmus shakes up Sirius, and Abella isn’t a stupid person.  Emperor Cade won’t stay still.”

Lila moved the chess pieces on the table back and forth. Holding the chess piece in her hand, Lila laughed lightly.

“Abella and Arsene will be over even if mother doesn’t do anything. And her mother wishes I can be the Duchess of Sirius.”

“But, Lila. Things don’t always go the way you want. If you just sit and wait, you might miss everything.”

“If you’re uneasy…”

Lila rolled the knight over her palm.

“Try shaking Abella.”

“What is that…….”

“I’m going to take Sirius, so I don’t want to make a dent in it. But, Abella is different. It doesn’t matter how much she gets hit. Besides, isn’t it enough justification? She is a cursed child born on Skellus day.”

Her bright pupils shone in the light. Clay looked at Lila.

“You mean reducing Abella’s position in Amerigo? How?”

“You don’t have to touch the business. If we think about it in the long term, that money will also help us.”

“Then?”

“……What about the people?”

“People?”

“It’s spreading rumors about an epidemic. The epidemic spread to the Amerigo estate. It all happened because Abella was a cursed child. Buy a few people in the Amerigo estate and keep them out of the premises for a month. Those little changes will ignite the rumors.”

It was a face lost without any guilt.

Clemington’s prime minister perfectly fulfilled Enoch’s request. He bought Gilmus’ bonds and held Count Gilmus’s neckline. Now it was Enoch’s turn. If Enoch couldn’t get the job done right this time… he would get a headache. It was obvious that he would follow Amerigo under the pretext of the royal name.

He was the chancellor of King Clemington, not of Enoch.

It wasn’t difficult to go out without Abella knowing.

Enoch sighed and requested an audience at the Imperial Palace. With Prince Enoch Clemington’s name and status, it seemed better to meet personally than to be an envoy. He doesn’t like being grand…

In the event of a mistake, he and the chancellor secretly entering the country could be a problem. So, with the emperor, who already knew who he was, Enoch decided to act alone.

“Can I see him today?”

“It depends on His Majesty’s mind…. schedule.”

The attendant changed his words in a hurry.

Enoch smiled briefly. The emperor of the Charope Empire seemed to do things arbitrarily. It would be the cause of the employee to change his words so dramatically. He was implicitly hinting at Enoch that he might not be able to meet the Emperor today.

‘That’s kind of you.’

Enoch Clemington secretly asked for an audience, so he must be considerate.

“Fine. I’ll wait.”

The employee nodded with an embarrassed face.
