Chapter 169

unedited

There was a string that she couldn’t grasp no matter how hard she tried. That was the Duchess. Abella let go of all her lust for the Duchess.

Abella also placed a string that she should not have grasped in the first place. She vowed not to even walk to Vincent, just in case. It was so that she would not come into contact with the relationships she should not have entangled.

So Abella’s childhood went smoothly without any problems.

Abella laid down her successor right. The Duke dissuaded her and Cade said she didn’t have to, but it was her choice. Abella’s line of succession passed to Carlo.

Although Carlo was dissatisfied with Abella’s choice, he was not a child who would neglect his duties. Carlo quickly established himself.

Abella did the things she couldn’t enjoy before.

“Carlo! Congratulations for the wedding.”

“Sister.”

Carlo pulled Abella into a hug with a smiling face. Abella’s determination with her successor is to find a way to save Carlo and his wife. It was disease that took them away from the world. Abella invested almost all of her fortune to figure out a way to cure the disease.

People pointed out that the cursed villain was wasting her family money on worthless things, but it didn’t matter. Because Abella always had people on her side. What else does she have to fear?

Abella patted Carlo on the back.

“You punk.”

“Sister should have gotten married first. Is the emperor still silent? Shall I go and figure something out?”

“Don’t do useless things.”

Abella burst out laughing. While Abella was preoccupied with the medicine, Cade was once again trying to lift the curse from her. Abella gladly provided Cade with the information she had.

The temple and the imperial family are necessary evils to each other.

It was more correct that Cade was involved than Abella was involved. So Cade was quickly approaching the answer. Cade was hoping that the day the curse was lifted from her, he would propose to Abella. These were really ordinary days.

Enoch became the king’s heir.

Arsene had a wedding ceremony with a young lady from the western estate. Judging by the rumors that Arsene was having a hard time, she thought that the young lady was not normal either. The young lady, who was recuperating in the Western countryside due to health problems, wants to raise sheep in the mansion?

‘How are you going to raise sheep? The Duke’s castle has no vegetation to do so.’

It wasn’t really intentional to hear Arsene raising his voice with exhaustion. It was the day of Arsene’s engagement ceremony, and she heard this while going out to get some air.

‘My father promised. If I come to the capital and marry you, he will let me raise sheep! He promised! I’m going to bring it!’

She was a bold and cute Count’s Lady. The count of that house said that if her daughter had said so, he could even make a possible from the impossible to comfort her.

The last story was that Arsene had started making a ranch on a small estate he had bought on the outskirts of the capital.

Arsene was doing well.

And Cade was still passionate about Abella. In the evening he sneaked out of the Imperial Castle and snooped against Amerigo’s wall.

Cade crossed Amerigo’s wall with familiarity.

“Abella.”

“Is it okay for an emperor with a high stature to snoop against the wall like this?”

“…… You can marry me.”

Cade said with a sigh. The Duke may faint if he finds out that Abella, who hasn’t been engaged, is secretly meeting Cade under the wall like this.

Duke Amerigo only knew that Abella was a gentle and kind daughter. He was sincerely heartbroken with Abella’s tragic love. The Duke never forced Abella to engage in political engagement or anything like that. He simply hoped that Abella could bear the pain she is suffering for her love for Cade.

Duke Amerigo was opposed to Abella and Cade. He can’t push Abella into hell where her end is obvious.

She can’t let the duke find out about her secret affair with Cade, so he jumps over the fence like a feral cat every time.

“Are you confident that you will get your father’s permission? I am not.”

Abella said firmly. Her only weakness was her father.

“…… I fear Duke Amerigo the most.”
