Silver-colored hair was shining like a star under the light. The color of Abella’s eyes, which look different depending on the viewing angle, was more prominent.
The fever of love, which he suffered after Abella became engaged to Arsene, still remained.
Still, Abella was far from being caught.
‘But you’re still here.’
When he heard Abella had returned to Amerigo, he foreshadowed that one day this would happen.
If she was Abella who was responsible and loved Amerigo, then she would protect them.
Cade touched his lips, then he bit everything back.
As if he knew speaking to her would only hurt her feelings.
Just one meal now.
And one for dinner.
He thought he could be satisfied with that much today.
Wasn’t this different from the old days when he acted like a fool to get Abella’s attention?
To meet Abella’s eyes who always looked at Arsene, he said without hesitation what he shouldn’t have said.
Because it was better to be hated than to lose it at all.
But still……
Cade wet his bitter mouth with water.
Abella wasn’t looking at Cade.
He wanted Abella to raise her chin which was facing down.
He didn’t know when he’d see her again, but he wanted to see her properly.
“Abella.”
So Cade, who couldn’t stand it, called Abella.
He was satisfied with the purple gaze that moved towards him.

The last place Cade took Abella was the concert hall.
The two people sat side by side in the VIP seats and listened to the performance.
As the seat was prepared for the emperor, a dedicated attendant was also allocated, and cold wine and a simple snack were prepared inside the tent-covered interior.
Abella grabbed her glass of wine that she hadn’t taken a sip of.
“Haa.”
Abella sighed secretly from Cade.
She didn’t think he would really bring Abella to all his schedules…
Cade took her everywhere but the bathroom.
When he signed the papers and looked back at Abella, he smiled.
‘You told me to prove my loyalty.’
Abella glared at the back of Cade’s head.
In the first place, it was this empire and the imperial family that Abella was loyal to, not the individual Cade.
