From the start, Kiel had been trying to impress Bella.
Sometimes, he would secretly watch Bella in her study.
He even got a pretty well-educated teacher named Jenkins. It was as if Jenkins knew everything.
However, it was strange that Bella liked him even though he didn’t try very hard.
‘How come you approach me with benevolence in your expression?’
“Are you hurt? I’ll blow on the wound.”
Bella warmed him up with a gentle breath.
In the novel, Kiel didn’t remember his childhood very well.
He only described it as “I’ve been through a lot.”
It was unlikely that letting him experience a few fragmentary and important events would interfere with his love life with Rosanna.
However, a few days later, Bella began to notice something strange.
She tried to change the interior because any furniture in the mansion wouldn’t go away.
“I’m sure I left this there.”
She felt like the furniture was constantly changing.
Besides, the strangest thing was Kiel.
“Jenkins. Is Kiel having a hard time studying?”
“No, he loves it.”
‘What could be the problem?’
“Why don’t you let Kiel work while I’m not watching?”
“No way.”
Bella was watching Jenkins prepare the meal.
They were all plain ingredients and plain food.
“Do you put any poison in Kiel’s rice?”
Jenkins frowned as soon as he heard it and was dumbfounded. “Even if I’m half evil, I won’t do that.”
“He’s half evil, so I don’t think he can poison,” Zhanbar added. Bella couldn’t tell whether he was defending or mocking Jenkins.
“Zhanbar, you can sense poison, can’t you?”
“I can sense it by eating it.”
So, at every meal, she told Zhanbar to try all the foods before letting Kiel eat them.
‘Strange.’
Why was Kiel the only one who ate the same thing?
“Miss, If you look at him like that, I don’t think he’ll be able to eat.”
Bella stared at Kiel eating and turned her eyes to Jenkins.
When Zhanbar was about to wash the dishes after the meal, Kiel hurried to the sink.
“I’ll do it,” Bella said.
Bella wanted to stop Kiel, but once she watched, she asked. However, in the end, she could only watch.
“Kiel seems to be feeling uncomfortable somewhere, doesn’t he?” she whispered to Jenkins.
“I think I’d be comfortable as well if you were looking at me like that.”
“Was it too obvious?”
“That’s not a question, is it?”
Bella was so absorbed in the arrangement of the novel that she didn’t even know the furniture was coming into the mansion that she felt uncomfortable because she seemed to have left Kiel alone.
Was life here still unstable? He didn’t have to wash the dishes.
Suddenly…
A plate clattered to the ground.
Kiel looked up, embarrassed. “I didn’t do it…”
“You’re lying again. I like how shameless you are,” Zhanbar said.
His words seemed to be sarcastic, but his expression was indeed content.
Kiel looked into Bella’s eyes, bit his lips, and lowered his head.
“Sorry. I’m sorry,”
Bella was a little surprised.
“Is there something weird?”
“It’s weird. Every time you say you’ll help, you make an accident like this.”
“No. Look carefully, you idiots.” Bella stood up and approached Kiel. “I’ve been looking at him since a while ago, and Kiel was turning around like this. The washed dishes are on the left.”
Bella stood behind Kiel, who was on the chair.
“Unless Kiel throws his plate back like this, he can’t fall on that floor. I’ve been watching.”
Bella took Kiel by both sides and turned him around.
“So Kiel didn’t do anything wrong.”
Kiel’s eyes were red.
“…Kiel?” Bella hugged Kiel in a daze.
With one hand, she quietly patted his back.
“What’s wrong?” Kiel was quietly weeping in Bella’s arms.
From the first day of his visit to the mansion, he had been having nightmares that he would be thrown out of here.
Since then, he had tried to do well, but strangely enough, accidents continued around him.
It was unfair, but he was the only one at the scene, so I didn’t have anything to say even if we were criminals.
“Bella, do you believe me?”
Listening to his words, Bella felt her anger rise.
“Hey! How badly did you guys bully him?”
“I never.”
“You don’t even know the principle of innocent until proven guilty?”
“Is that so?”
“Kiel said he didn’t. You don’t admit to the charges, and you’re driving without real proof?”
Kiel breathed out a long breath and hugged Bella tightly.
Bella glared at Zhanbar and Jenkins with red eyes.
