“This is insane. Should I go and split them now?”
Esther seemed truly delighted, which caused his hesitation.
Everything was content and merry after Esther’s arrival, but seeing this caused clouds of gloominess to surround Judy.
Tree bark piled up on the floor as he scratched the poor tree.
“That 7th Prince must have seduced our innocent Esther. Esther is possessed right now.”
Judy unleashed his anger by kicking a stone that stumbled upon his feet.
The tactful Victor heeded the sound and glanced around to find none other than his master, Judy.
Shocked at his young master’s appearance, Victor tried to inform Esther, but in the end, Judy’s motioning with his finger slashing through his neck was enough to dissuade the poor knight.
Dinner time, the same day.
Today, the family gathered to enjoy a meal. It had been a while since Darwin had returned early, so here he was.
“Thank you for the food.”
Esther thoroughly enjoyed her favorite meat, held a knife and made eye contact with Judy.
Judy was staring at Esther meaningfully. He didn’t even touch his plate.
“…?”
Esther wasn't the only one who sensed the unusual atmosphere. Darwin, who took a sip from his glass to lighten his appetite, frowned and spoke to Judy.
“Judy, what's wrong?”
“It’s nothing. I was just thinking about something.”
Judy turned his eyes from Esther to Darwin and dismissed their speculations as nothing.
“But father. Wasn't there a prince who fell ill and was evicted a few years ago?”
Silence flowed the table as Noah appeared in their conversation.

In particular, Esther, who had just met Noah earlier today, nervously gulped down her glass of water.
“Yes. There was an unfortunate prince under the curse of God.”
“Where is the prince now?”
“Well. Why are you suddenly so curious?”
Darwin’s gaze towards Judy sharpened.
Judy brooded over Darwin’s penetrating stare before he eventually sighed and confessed the truth.
“Esther. First of all, I'm sorry. I followed you today.”
Esther hardened as she understood the meaning of his words.
Dennis focused on Judy's words, still working to figure out the current situation.
“Esther left the mansion during the day, and I secretly followed her. The thing is, she met the prince I just mentioned.”
Judy clenched his teeth as Noah's face resurfaced; the bastard who continued touching Esther.
“I think the Prince has bad intentions for Esther. He fell ill and was kicked out of the Imperial Palace, but to meet our Esther? It’s suspicious, right?”
This was the scenario Judy reasoned with after what seemed like hours of thought.
The Prince, who lost authority due to illness, approaches Esther, the daughter of the Grand Duke, and seeks a comeback.
It was a rational logic anyone was bound to think had they not known Noah.
However, Darwin, a person aware that Noah was currently seeking the throne, was more baffled than dubious. He asked Esther,
“Have you truly met the prince?”
“Yes. I met him.”
As Esther noticed something was off with the situation and answered in a crawling voice, Dennis sided with her.
“Don't push her too hard. Esther is surprised.”
TN: Yess, I’m very happy that Dennis stood up for her. They need to calm down a bit and give her a chance to speak for herself
