Cade’s attitude of looking down at Abella still remained the same. He forced Abella and hated her for breaking his orders.
‘Friend?’
Abella laughed.
‘Just give me a dog.’
From the start, Cade’s only friend was Arsene. Abella was the cursed woman. Or something below that. There was no more meaning than that.
But to like her?
She would totally decline.
Even more, if it’s true.
Abella’s eyes met with Cade’s red eyes.
There was a cool atmosphere between the two, that seemed to rival even ice.
The side with the white flag, as always, was Abella.
Abella had no power to overcome Cade’s power.
She averted her eyes and calmly opened her mouth.
“……Your Majesty, you know, Amerigo’s current situation is not good. Those unqualified people are crossing the threshold of Amerigo. The successor is too young and I am the only one who can take care of Amerigo’s business.”
“You want me to allow you as the temporary owner?”
“That’s right, Your Majesty.”
At Abella’s answer, the emperor laughed.
Taking his hand off the desk, the emperor tilted his head and glared at Abella.
“Why should I do that? You despise my orders more than sh*t, and you’re not loyal to the imperial family. I don’t know who to believe in this situation and who to entrust Amerigo to.”
Abella gulped at the swear words.
If she expressed her feelings, then surely Cade would respond more loudly.
Rather, not showing any feelings was the way to quickly end this. Abella shook her head.
“No, Your Majesty. I am a nobleman of Charope. How can I disobey Your Majesty’s command? Besides, I’ve never been not loyal to the imperial family. I’ve never had such an unloyal heart.”
Cade’s eyebrows rose to Abella’s calm answer.
“Loyal?”
…… Did she answer something wrong?
Abella held her cold sweaty hands.
Really, there were so many people in Timur that she never wanted to meet again.
Including the emperor.
Abella nodded her head.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Good.”
What?
Abella raised her head.
That capricious man suddenly laughed as if it made him feel better.
“Let’s prove that loyalty by having you stay by my side all day today. Until dinner.”
