Ines, who was left alone, took a large, deep breath.
‘It’s okay.’
Even just having a few words with Enoch, she felt strangely courageous.
‘Finally, I can legally end my marriage with Ryan.’
Ines clenched her fists tightly.
There were only 30 minutes left until the trial began.

Meanwhile, at that time.
The king, Edward, who had just entered the courthouse, greeted his brother with a bright face.
“Enoch!”
“In public, you should call me Duke of Sussex, Your Majesty.”
Enoch politely gave criticism.
‘No, you’ll either scold or be polite or just do one thing. What the hell is that?’ (Edward)
Edward had a steamy face.
“What is Your Majesty? Tsk tsk.”
“There are many eyes. Your Majesty, grow up.”
“You called me Your Majesty, but you told me to grow up. Isn’t it too disrespectful?”
Edward, who was grumbling, suddenly glanced behind Enoch with curious eyes. His gaze turned to Ines, who was standing in the distance.
“Oh, is that woman ‘that’ Countess of Brierton?”
A slender body, elegantly curled dark brown hair, a graceful neck, and vivid dark green eyes like a forest.
She was a woman strangely reminiscent of a deer.
Her aristocratic dignity was felt in her posture with a straight posture.
“It’s nice to see this after a long time. Shall we say hello?” (Edward)
“Stop it. It’s a burden on the Countess.” (Enoch)
Enoch snapped sullenly.
Edward narrowed his brow and glanced at his brother.
“Do you like me or the Countess of Brierton more?” (Edward)????
“Your Majesty, please protect the king’s dignity.” (Enoch)
But Enoch was stubborn.
“In the first place, Your Majesty the King assumed the role of judge in this trial. What a flaw it would be for such a person to have a separate conversation with the trial party……” (Enoch)
“Okay, I got it!” (Edward)
Edward grumpily shook his hand, interrupting Enoch.
Enoch narrowed his eyes and requested.
“Please be aware of your position.”
‘Ugh, nagging…Even my deceased grandparents didn’t push me this hard.’ (Edward) ????
Edward, who was looking at Enoch with dissatisfied eyes, suddenly opened his mouth.
“Did you know that you can apply that phrase to yourself too?”
In an instant, Enoch’s face turned into a bewildered face.
“That’s right. Aren’t you my only brother, heir to the throne, and the only duke in the kingdom?”
“….”
“But you are helping the Countess without taking any of those things into account.”
Enoch struggled to protest.
“I did help, but it’s all for a good reason… .”
“For a good reason, yes. You’re not the kind of person who does something shameful to yourself.”
Edward, who had responded with a sense of victory, asked again, bending his eyes.
“But is that really all?”
“That…..”
“You are helping the Countess by actively exploiting your status and position now.”
Enoch’s ever-quiet deep blue eyes trembled.
Edward, who was looking into those trembling eyes with interest, nailed it immediately.
“Now, haven’t you ignored that fact?”
“….”
“You were fascinated by the genius of the Countess of Brierton. Because you have always been very interested in artists. But… ”
Edward, who stretched out his words, patted Enoch on the shoulder.
“I’ve never seen you support and care about someone so much.”
“Brother.” (Enoch)
For a moment, Edward was astonished.
Enoch, who strictly separated public and private positions, would call Edward ‘brother’ in public. That meant that Enoch was embarrassed to the point that he didn’t even care about dignity.
His expression showed that he didn’t know he was giving Countess Brierton special treatment.
“Well, yes.”
Edward shrugged his shoulders.
Enoch narrowed his forehead, and looked back in the direction where Ines was.
But she was nowhere to be seen as she had just entered the courtroom.
Edward couldn’t hide his intriguing expression.
‘Hey, this is amazing!’
Who is Enoch?
The little brother, who wouldn’t bleed even if he was stabbed with a needle, was now having a hard time.
It was quite fun to see Enoch making that kind of expression.

Edward wanted to tease Enoch right away, but he put up with it for now.
