“Father……? You have to eat. I am afraid that something will happen.”
Count Gilmus did not budge at the words of his most beloved son.
It was a horrible reality to wake up to each day, and his body had no way to deal with such a sense of defeat again. Until he came up with something new…..
“Wait.”
Count Gilmus raised his body.
Benjamin, his eldest son, whom he loved the most, opened his eyes.
“Are you going to eat? Are you feeling a little relaxed now? I’ll choose the day that b*tch goes out…….”
“No, Benjamin, you don’t have to. What’s the most important rule the head of household has to follow that also applies to Abella right now?”
Count Gilmus pulled up his lips meanly.
“According to our Amerigo regulations, if you are over 20, you must be engaged or married.”
That was something Benjamin knew. Benjamin tilted his head as if puzzled.
“But doesn’t Abella have a fiancé right now?”
“What if… if the Duke of Sirius asked for a breakup for some reason?”
“Ah……!”
Sirius wouldn’t turn away from Gilmus. Perhaps.

A week had passed since Count Gilmus visited.
It was strange that Count Gilmus was silent, so she sent a person to him, but he stayed in his mansion and continued his seclusion.
Instead, the social activities of Gilmus’s eldest son, Benjamin, were prominent. Benjamin hadn’t had a banquet for a while.
There were rumors that Benjamin, who lost his wife and had a young son, was looking for a new bride.
“Is it so easy to court a bride?”
Enoch looked at the newspaper and clicked his tongue. Even in his eyes, their way was ridiculous. That was, of course, the same in Abella’s eyes. It was not the time to court for a bride, but rather, time to figure out how to pay their debts.
Strangely, however, Count Gilmus assured that he could somehow make up for the damage, and the lenders who lent money to him delayed Count Gilmus’s debt repayment date.
She was curious about what he would have bet on, but it was not easy to figure out so far.
“…… I don’t know what you’re up to.”
“See. You wouldn’t believe me.”
Cade shook his head and added.
“But listen to me this time, Abella.”
He glanced at his watch. It was time to move to the next place.
Cade rose up from his seat. He had been in such a rush to come to Amerigo that he hadn’t eaten at all.
As Cade slowly walked to the door, he paused for a moment.
“……please, Abella.”
Cade, who suddenly came and left, left the office, leaving an afterimage behind.
Cade glared at Enoch, who was waiting for him, with cold eyes.
“I hope you don’t mess with me.”
Unlike before, there was little courtesy,
“Prince Enoch.”
Cade passed by Enoch, who was stiff in surprise.
Everything was getting twisted.
Cade swept his dry mouth and gestured toward the secretary who urged him.
“Where should we go?”
“Ohh. Huh…”
“Why are you crying?”
Cade asked annoyingly.
“What should I do? … You shouldn’t miss this! Do you know how much depends on this diplomatic issue……!”
“Shh. It’ll be possible to reach there if we ride on the horse from here.”
As Cade whistled, a black horse with a red mane ran out of the coachman’s hand. Cade squinted his eyes and laughed mischievously.
The crying secretary was first mounted on the horse before Cade got on.
“No, wait! This, this is not… oh oh oh oh!! Ahhhhhhhhh!”
Cade, who appeared like the wind, disappeared again like the wind.

Mrs. Amerigo, who was watching the scene, closed the curtains.
Why did the Emperor come here?
Mrs. Amerigo, who was pacing around her room and biting her nails, ran to the dressing table.
Then she checked the locked drawer and swept her chest down.
“Gamma?”
“Uh? Oh, it’s Simon.”
The startled Mrs. Amerigo opened her arms towards Simon. Mrs. Amerigo’s heart was pounding with fear.
‘No one should know. Never.’
Mrs. Amerigo calmed her mind with the consolation from Simon’s body temperature.
After Abella’s return, everything started to go awry.
Those who she thought had lost their relationship returned. Furthermore, the crocodiles that had been predating with their softened alertness began to open their eyes again.
