Still, the emperor was here.

“Your Majesty. Lady Abella Amerigo has arrived.”

At the words of the attendant, a heavy answer came back.

“Come in.”

It was a lower voice than before.

Abella slowly entered the door opened by the attendants.

She could see Cade’s back, and it caught her eye. Cade, who stood by the window and was looking out, had grown up in eight years.

However, that wouldn’t have changed the nature inside Cade.

“……Greetings to the Sun of Charope.”

Abella took a bow.


Cade slowly turned his body.

His black hair and bright red eyes were the traits of the imperial family. The gaze poured out toward Abella.

“It’s been a long time.”

It was still a gaze that pierced Abella.

Abella nodded her head.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“…..Hoo. You’ve been in Vincent haven’t you?”

As Cade beckoned, the attendants hurriedly closed the door.

“That’s right.”

Abella replied stiffly.

Was a conversation like this required to qualify for Amerigo’s temporary authority?

Well.

Even if it wasn’t, Abella was a nobleman, and Cade was the emperor.

When he asked, Abella must answer.

“Cursed girl. Answer me. When I ask you, you answer.”

Just like in her childhood when he urged her that way.

Maybe it was because she didn’t want to come, that her insides were completely stuffy.

Abella pressed her upper chest firmly.

“I guess I should have ordered you to return to Timur.”

Cade’s bright red eyes looked as if they were going to dig through Abella.

“You still… You think I’m funny.”

Cade frowned.

“It’s not like that. Your Majesty…”

Abella bowed her head again.

“I was getting ready to come back. I couldn’t immediately clear up the business of running the operations. I’m sorry.”

With a lengthy excuse, Abella collected her breath.

Order?

Either way, the emperor couldn’t make such an order unless the great aristocrats broke the law.

The emperor, who knew it, couldn’t drag Abella, so he ignored it.

And if Carlo hadn’t been that way at a young age, she would never have returned.

“…… Raise your head.”

“But……..”

“Raise.”

Abella sighed and slowly raised her head.

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.”

Ha?

What crazy thing was that?
