Capitulo 91

Episode 91

***

Go ahead, Grand Duke. I’ll listen to the story later.

If I come in, you won’t see me.

Andrew didn’t move in the rain.

He extended his wet hand toward me.

I stepped back and avoided Andrew’s hand.

Are we going to talk in the rain? I don’t think so. If you’re not going in, I’ll go in first.

Don’t go away. Let’s talk for a second…

A trembling voice was heard.

Why are you looking at me with such tender eyes?

My brain was getting colder and colder.

I have nothing to talk to you about here.

What happened to your head because of the rain?

Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to treat me like this.

Karina.

Don’t call me by my name. If your wife hears it, she’ll be sad and cry until she faints.

Andrew’s face contracted.

Then I think I’ve done all I have to say.

I left him and turned away.

As I was almost walking into the hotel, Andrew grabbed me and turned me around.

I never loved her.

His voice sounded like he was excited.

I grimaced, trying to pull my wrist out of his hand.

Let go of me… !

She cheated on us. She cheated on me, but I…

She seemed to know what she was talking about.

Maybe that’s why Tatiana and Andrew’s relationship isn’t what it used to be.

I don’t know how, but she seemed to know that Tatiana could use the bracelet to manipulate people’s taste.

Andrew quickly knelt down in front of me and took my hand.

Give me a chance. Please.

He gently touched my hand as if he was touching a piece of glass and touched his wet cheek, not sure if it was rain or tears.

The emotion in her eyes welled up as she looked up.

It was more and deeper emotion than I had ever known before.

Then, someone stepped in between us.

Princess, what the hell are you doing here?

I withdrew my clutched hand.

The man who called my name was Wilhelm. I didn’t know why he is here, someone who has always been by Tatiana’s side.

What the hell are you doing here, Grand Duke…?

As he approached, he looked alternately at me and the man with his head resting on his knees.

The knight commander has just arrived, so I’ll be back. Then take good care of yourself.

I escaped from among them.

I didn’t want to talk to anyone anymore.

* * *

Alone in the capital, Tatiana felt vividly how much her world had changed.

I think you should make a statement, Madam.

At the butler’s words, Tatiana clenched her fists.

It haunted her from all sides.

Circumstances continued to emerge, suggesting it had something to do with the man he was rescued from.

The pressure on her grew stronger as the person involved in the investigation seemed to know all about the interview.

Ma’am.

There hasn’t been any direct evidence yet.

Isn’t that boy under arrest? A man brought in by Her Majesty.

I was talking about Dean.

Dean, who Tatiana rescued, is accused of human trafficking and is in prison.

Dean wasn’t buying and selling people.

Then you can announce that it has nothing to do with him. He used to work for the Grand Duke of Gloucester, but I know nothing about the lady.

However, it was true that they threatened to buy and sell people.

She knew this.

Tatiana clutched her head and bent down.

I’ll think about it some more. Come out.

And here a letter from the Alchemy Society.

The butler left the blue-tinted envelope on the table and went out.

Tatiana opened the envelope from the Society of Alchemy when he (the butler) had completely disappeared.

The Alchemy Society was an association of men, practically no different from the Cassel family.

Ahg.

The letter says that Raymond is attacking the Cassel family laboratory.

How can I stop him?

Raymond had already begun to get out of her control.

Although she was still very fond of him, it didn’t look like he was going to do all the favors he had in the past.

There was only one person she could trust completely now.

Wilhelm should be nice to her.

Tatiana stood up, hoping that Wilhelm, who had gone south, would create a weakness for Karina.

Then she left the room and looked for the butler.

Tell me you will make a statement soon.

Yes!

The butler’s face lit up.

It looked like he was finally going to deal with the man he didn’t like.

«Dean, that guy was too useless, who worked for the Grand Duchess.»

The Grand Duchess didn’t even pay attention to Dean’s first call.

It didn’t seem to be very important, so she thought she could handle it herself.

* * *

The next day.

I barely lifted my heavy eyelids. I was tired from not having slept well last night.

Lily, who had come to bring breakfast, asked with a worried look on her face.

Miss, how are you feeling?

I slept badly yesterday.

Can I get you some coffee?

Yes, I’ll have something strong.

Please wait.

After she left the room, I looked at Fio licking her front paws next to me and asked.

There is a man I want to see later.

[Who?]

Well, my ex-fiancé.

A look of anger flashed across his round face.

I explained the situation.

Every time Tatiana imposes something on people, it feels like distorted magic builds up in her body.

When I kindly explained to Fio, he bowed his head.

If Tatiana releases distorted magical energy every time she uses the power of that bracelet, analyzing my bracelet, which is very similar to that one, and discovering the principle will help me make a purification device.

At Fio’s request, I found a magician who could make a purification device.

But my mother just shook her head when she heard my story.

-First of all, I can’t even feel the distorted magic you are talking about.

It may be natural that my mother, the owner of the tower, doesn’t feel it.

Otherwise, Raymond would not have known.

Fio also knew that child development was being delayed like this.

[Great. Let’s meet again.]

You can’t ask me this time.

Chit, I heard a noise, but I decided to pretend I didn’t hear it.

[When do you plan on going to see him?]

If I’m not mistaken, he’ll probably come to see me from there.

As soon as I finished my words, Lily entered the room with a bitter smile.

Even Sir Wilhelm came here. I don’t know what’s going on in this small rural town.

Have you seen him?

He’s waiting to meet you around here. I don’t think I should go out today.

Is it because of yesterday?

Maybe he came to ask about something between Andrew and me.

Oh, that’s all right. It’s okay. I have something to tell you, too. Tell him to wait in a nearby cafe.

Lily had a very sheepish look on her face.

Well, considering Wilhelm’s past, that was enough.

I reassured Lily that I would bring Fio again this time.

Of course, she and the gentleman were right next to me.

Because he has a history of violence against me, it was not at all like the two of us meeting alone.

After dinner, we headed for the cafe next door.

Wilhelm with blue hair was sitting at the table expressionless.

I went and stood in front of him.

Long time no see, Sir Wilhelm.

Are you here, princess?

It was the first time he and I had been alone like this since he informed me of the breakup.

These are situations in which I felt uncomfortable.

I couldn’t stand the long silence, so I opened my mouth first.

So why did you ask to see me?

What happened there yesterday?

I don’t know. You’ve seen it yourself, so I think you’ll know.

Wilhelm closed his mouth.

If I had two eyes, I would have seen the Archduke clinging to me, pleading with me.

Hey, why did the Grand Duke…

Is that really what you want to ask? The one who suddenly appeared and the one who insisted on giving him another chance is also the Archduke.

It felt like he was confused.

When I first met Wilhelm, I was struck by strange rumors.

There were eyewitness accounts that he seemed to have a close relationship with the person I broke up with after getting to know him slightly.

He said nothing, but his eyes were filled with suspicion.

The Archduke, then why did he marry Tatiana…?

The Archduke will know.

As he fired, Wilhelm kept his mouth shut.

I looked at Fio.

When our eyes met, he nodded.

He was telling me that he also felt magical powers.

This was assured.

Every time Tatiana uses her power with the bracelet, distorted magic flows.

I’ll have to check if mine is the same.

I moved my hand and touched the bracelet.

A window of favorability appeared above Wilhelm’s head.

It was a little lower than the last time I saw it.

I could see the favorability if I wanted to, but the selection window was different.

I didn’t know under what conditions it would appear.

I haven’t seen the selection window since Raymond.

How can I access the selection window?

What about you? Are you still thinking about the Grand Duke?

With his words, a selection window appeared as if in response to my wish.
