Aria, whose shoulders were hunched over, had a rich fragrance of her flowers.
It was completely different from Abella’s perfume.
To hide his frown, Cade bent close to Aria’s ear and whispered.
“Can you do well?”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
It wasn’t that difficult. She was afraid to talk to Abella, who was labeled as a villain, but it was so crowded that Abella could not harm her.
Her parents asked Aria to find a suitable marriage partner, but unexpectedly the emperor was caught.
Besides, she could go directly to Imperial Palace to receive the reimbursement for the dress.
Aria’s eyes, filled with her dream, became hazy.
Aria proudly took her steps toward Abella.
“Lady Abella.”
At Aria’s call, Abella looked at her. It was the woman who stood by the emperor.
“Lady Aria.”
“I accidentally spilled a drink on my dress. Can you help me?”
It was right for Abella to help.
It was because Abella was the organizer of this banquet. As Aria said, her dress was all wet.
What Abella prepared for today was pale pink peach champagne. It exuded a sweet scent.
Furthermore, the marks left on the dress gradually spread out. It seemed too difficult for the noble family lady to wander around in this manner.
Abella kindly guided Aria.
“Oh. There will be an extra dress for you to change in. Arsene, I’ll be right back.”
“Okay.”
So Abella, who asked Arsene for his understanding, left with Aria.
And that was the situation Cade wanted.
Cade headed straight for Arsene. With a straight, wide stride. Soon, Cade stopped in front of Arsene and called him.
“Duke Sirius.”
It was a strangely cold voice.
“I said it before.”
“Your Majesty.”
Arsene frowned and was interrupted before he could continue speaking.
“Not knowing is also a sin.”
Cade tapped Arsene’s right shoulder with his index and middle fingers. At that moment, Arsene felt the eeriness of the red gaze full of deep hostility.
Cade whispered as he leaned over Arsene.
“Shouldn’t you want to awaken from that ignorance now?”
However, it achieved satisfactory results. People would not worry about Amerigo anymore, and they would not talk about Simon and Abella.
Additionally, the emperor expressed his support for Abella by attending a nobleman’s birthday banquet.
‘What a surprise.’
Abella sighed languidly.
Soaking her body in hot water in the morning seemed to have relieved her fatigue.
It was a perfect banquet, except for Arsene, who suddenly said that he had to return due to an urgent matter.
“What’s going on?”
She couldn’t ask anything because of his hardened expression.
Abella blinked her eyes.
All kinds of desires were in full swing at the banquet hall yesterday.
People left Simon behind and targeted Abella. Despite having a good relationship with Arsene, people acted anxiously to tear Abella and Arsene apart.
Arsene was probably the best groom in the empire.
On the other hand, Abella was a cursed child, so maybe it was natural.
In particular, many noble ladies who were having a ritual in the age of marriage had been present.
Of course, that did not mean that Abella was not as gullible as before.
Abella had the Abella business. She wasn’t a kid like before where she couldn’t do anything.
Having money meant that you had power and information.
Abella was no longer weak.
‘The strong prey on the weak…’
Abella returned with what she had learned.
To use their weaknesses to suppress them.
It wasn’t a very desirable way, but it was a useful way.
Abella closed her eyes and pressed her face with her palm.
Instead of being hurt, she chose the method to hurt others.
It was a good finish in its own way.
People no longer looked down on Abella anymore.
In short, that was what it was.
“Lady Abella, my god…I feel like I’ve come back after a long time. Jewelry like this is out of fashion in Timur.”
“Oh, I see. However, this jewelry was newly imported from the Kingdom of Carta, so this is a new item that is being introduced at my business. Oh, is it also at the Nivea business? Seeing that you first encountered futuristic objects like this.”
