Weren’t they the ones who had been impatient to devour Abella from the moment she was born? They wouldn’t stop until the moment Abella ran out of breath.

Finally Abella let her mother go.

Completely.

She was Abella’s mother, of a bloodline inferior to that of others. Eventually she killed her father and even tried to kill Abella.

In this way, Abella was rightly cursed by her.

How many people would be ruined if she killed one of hers? Abella smiled blankly.

Abella let go of everything.

*

“Aunt!”

Abella blinked her eyes at the feeling of something shaking.

She cried yesterday, so her eyes were swollen and she couldn’t see right in front of her.

“Auntiiiieeee!”

Simons did his best to shake Abella.

His tiny body dug into Abella’s arm.

Abella slowly opened her eyes.

“Simons…… ?”

“Yes! Aunt. wake up.”

Abella got her body up while holding Simons. She blinked her eyes blankly.

The sun was shining on the white blanket.

Fresh lights that seemed to scatter at any moment were circling around Abella. Her heart was light, the weight that Abella was carrying was gone.

All that was left for Abella was Simons’ weight. They say Abella was a curse, so yes, she could be a curse.

It was just that Abella should live as Abella had done.

“Up we go.”

Abella stepped her feet under the bed, holding Simons.

A newspaper lay on Abella’s table. The newspaper headlines, as expected, were not about Gilmus.

A hand was made to keep the Gilmus and Benjamin scandal from going off the headlines for a while.

To prevent everyone from seeing Gilmus’ scandal and lending him money or supporting him.

“Aunt! Breakfast! Let’s eat!”

Simons hugged Abella’s neck. The first contributor of the day was Simons, no matter what anyone said. The baby who was only 3 years old was brilliant.

Abella showered kisses on Simons’ face.

“My baby, who do you resemble to be this smart?”

“Aunt! Dada! Moma!”

Abella hugged the cuddly Simons in her arms whose pronunciation was not so good.

Simons only needed to grow up to be able to protect the family. Abella buried her face in Simons’ hair.

After breakfast, Abella went out with Enoch.

“Where are you going?”

“We have to break the marriage, Enoch.”

“How?”

Abella smiled. The atrocities committed by Benjamin and Gilmus gave Abella the answer. There was an absurd way to reject Arsene’s proposal.

She should get married first.

Abella found her answer there. Benjamin coveted Abella’s bedroom, but Abella decided to settle it legally.

“I will buy people. You must be a legal witness, Enoch.”

“What?”

“It is not difficult to get married. All you have to do is submit the marriage vows. Even at a small temple in the countryside, you can even sign a marriage vow.”

“Therefore?”

Enoch rolled his eyes.

“What?”

It was shouting enough to make the carriage roar.

Abella smiled calmly in front of the startled Enoch.

“It is not! How can you get a wedding in a blitz like that?”

“Wouldn’t that be better than marrying Arsene? That doesn’t mean I can give up Amerigo like this.”

“I… … .”

“It’s okay. It’s just a temporary contract.”

“Still…….”

“It’s okay, Enoch.”

Abella repeated the words that it was okay. Enoch sighed as he looked at Abella’s smile. He realized that he would never be able to stop Abella.

The carriage carrying Abella and Enoch stopped in front of Yuri’s restaurant.

As she left the restaurant yesterday, she asked Yuri for something. Yuri promised it would be done in a day and she told Abella to come by this morning.

So she came.

Abella looked up at the restaurant.

‘There’s really nothing I can’t do.’

After putting everything down, she felt more at ease. Even her own greed seemed to disappear. In fact, this would have been a little easier if Abella had given up. In the first place, Abella was afraid of being caught up in the scandal, and she had regrets about her life, so she had done nothing.

Abella set her feet towards the restaurant with a light heart. Yuri greeted Enoch and Abella with an awkward face.

“Are you ready?”

“Are you really going to do this?”

“It’s supposed to be like this.”

Abella shrugged her shoulders. It was not like this but it was supposed to be. Abella was at a dead end. This was the only option she had. Enoch has his life and Cade has his life. Giving it to Abella would be a nuisance to them.

If that’s the case, she’d better find a new person with the right interest. Abella opened the door to the secret room that Yuri beckons.

The handsome young man who had been waiting for Abella stood up.

An awkward posture and an awkward expression. And for some reason, even a crouched posture, as if it was shameful. He seemed to know well why he was here now.

“Hello, Jack.”

Abella smiled softly. Enoch sat down next to Abella with a displeased face. Jack sat back down.

“…… Hello.”

“It’s nice to meet you like this. I hope we can build a good relationship in the future. Because…… We are about to get married.”

Abella was the only one who looked light and fresh in this place. Enoch was dissatisfied with her decision. Jack sold his family register to Abella to pay for his son’s medicine. Unlike Yuri, who only sighed.

“…… About the price…….”

“I plan to support you until the child grows up safely and he can finish his studies and find a job. Enoch. The lawyer here will guarantee our promise.”

At Abella’s words, Jack’s expression changed. Yuri only talked about the cost of his son’s medicine. But, it wasn’t only that, she would look after his son until he could grow up safely.

Jack swallowed his saliva. This wasn’t something Jack could refuse.

Jack hesitated and said.

“…… My deceased wife will understand.”

“I think she will, Jack.”

In loyalty to his deceased wife, he raised his infant son alone for five years. All that was left was a trivial title of nobility, and he spent all the extra money on his son’s medicine. A hand of salvation was extended to Jack.

Abella put the contract and marriage vows on the table.

“Now then, shall we get married?”

Enoch clicked his tongue low.

It was that afternoon that Abella visited the temple.

The priests flocked to the news that the cursed symbol had visited the temple. Abella’s purple eyes and platinum blonde hair. Abella did as she had been told. The priests did not come close to her, stayed a certain distance from her, talking about the transfer of her curse.

What was in Abella’s hand was a proposal letter from Arsene. Enoch escorted her. As expected, Enoch, who was famous within Timur, was also attracting attention.

A small priest who was pushed by the priests stopped them.

“What did you come here for?”

“Priest.”

Abella smiled brightly.

“I have come to fulfill this marriage proposal. Can you guide me to the high priest?”

“That, that, that… … .”

The priest stammered at her, being cautioned by the senior priests that Abella should never be allowed to enter. Enoch stepped forward in front of the crying priest.

“Hello, Priest.”

Enoch smiled softly and opened his mouth affectionately.

“Look at this.”

Enoch pulled out a candy that always fills his pocket and held it out. The young priest’s eyes widened. In the temple, everything from eating to wearing was restricted because they had to refrain from material desire. So it was not unusual for a young priest to swallow his saliva like that.

“You can eat. It’s just candy, Priest.”

“But…….”

“It’s okay. This is the cost of errands. Instead, the priest just needs to deliver the words to the high priest.”

Enoch smiled sweetly.

“I beg your pardon…… ?”

“That Enoch Clemington came to the temple to donate.”

The young priest hesitated and then nodded his head. The senior priests told Abella not to enter, but he didn’t tell him not to accept offerings. Moreover, it was clear that the high priest would have the two of them come inside if they were to accept donations.

“Good.”

Abella and Enoch nodded.

*

It was Abella’s responsibility to break the marriage with Arsene. It was Cade’s job to control Arsene’s ruthless behavior.

Abella, who had visited the temple, headed to Arsene Sirius’ mansion. She, of course, learned a lesson from the past, and she did not come alone. It was Enoch and a neat young man who accompanied Abella.

His age looked similar to Abella, but his eyes were worn out.

It was the result of Abella’s busy day today. The temple had to acknowledge Abella’s marriage. As the local priest’s brand was stamped on it, the high priest had no choice.

Abella said to Arsene, who looked at her with crooked eyes.

“I’m married, Arsene.”

As if she was very happy.
