He should have been honest from the start. Even so, he wanted to create an excuse to keep Abella by his side.
Abella was unstable.
Her memories were not perfect, and even her mind was exhausted from the trauma that had accumulated over and over again. It may have been best for Abella to leave Timur and settle down alone..
Talking to Abella when he doesnāt know what her greatest need wasā¦.
Cade was a big hypocrite.
Cade clenched his teeth.
Abella seemed to pop into his head countless times.
Thud-
Thud-
Thud-
Blood dripped from Abellaās back, her pale lips, and her tightly closed eyelids repeated over and over again. He vowed never to lose Abella again, and ended up doing the same again.
Cade banged his head on Abellaās bed.
There were shouts and muffled voices coming and going. The priest repeatedly stressed that Abella needed to be stable. It was up to the patient if she would wake up.
But from where they heard the news, Amerigoās worms ran like crazy. It was they who were shouting and fighting outside.
āI have to see her face right now! I am her aunt!ā
Evil voices could be heard all the way inside the bedroom. Cade laid his head back on the bed. Abella was asleep, motionless. There was no sliver of warmth from her; she was like a doll made of marble.
āIf thatās the case, then the temporary Headās seat will be vacant! Therefore!ā
āEveryone get out of here!!ā
Enochās shouts were also heard. In addition, there were tears mixed with screams and shouts of those who were trying to protect the mansion. And none of them belonged to Grand Madam Amerigo.
Thud-
Cade banged his head against the bed once more.
The area where his head laid was hollowed out. Cade looked back at Abella with a dark, somber expression on his face. It may have been a curse that was holding up Abella. Abella struggled in Vincent to prove she wasnāt cursed.
Then she returned to Timur and tried to keep Amerigo among those who pointed fingers at her, calling her a curse. For Abella, the trace of the curse of Skellus was her death and the basis of her life at the same time.
Cade didnāt understand Abella.
He simply thought that Abellaās life would be much more comfortable when those who pointed at her were gone.
āAbellaā¦ā¦.ā
Cadeās voice cracked like a wild dog from hell. Cade let out a grim laugh at her. The sunken red eyes were gleaming with murderous energy.
āWhat hellā¦ā¦. What hell did you live in?ā
Cadeās trembling hand caressed Abellaās head. A small wheezing breath was the only comfort at this moment. Abella did not die. She was not dead, she was alive.
Cade slowly got his body up.
Cadeās slow act as he opened the door and left, gave some unknown madness.
āGaspā¦ā¦!ā
āHis Majesty the Emperor⦠⦠?ā
āYour Majesty, why are you hereā¦ā¦.ā
Amerigoās dogs, who were talking loudly, kept their mouths shut. Then they looked into each otherās eyes and took a step back. All the nobles knew that Cade was someone who would do anything to achieve his motives.
And right now, Emperor Cade seemed to want to kill them.
āWellā¦ā¦.ā
āYou guys are really not polite.ā
Cade was talking slowly.
āRight now, the head is resting inside, so why are you flocking here and barking like a group of dogs?ā
Enoch and Louisa stepped aside. Cade reached out his hand.
What was closest to him was now a young man who might have just turned 20.
āKugh!ā
Cadeās hand gripped his throat and the man gasped and let out a breath. Cadeās red eyes gleamed with murderous energy.
The man pressed against the railing grabbed Cadeās hand and shed tears.
āHelp, help me!ā
Cade tilted his head.
āHelp you?ā
Cade repeated those words once more. Abella had said that earnestly countless times since she was born.Ā Please help me, Iām not at fault. No, itās my fault.
Such earnest words were not recognized by anyone here.
They were cruel people who could offer Abella as a curse sacrifice for immediate profit. But, why?
āHelp me, Your Majesty! Please, pleaseā¦ā¦. Itās my son. my one and onlyā¦ā¦.ā
Cade laughed out loud. The old lady, who was horrified by the eyes looking back at her, stepped back. Cade pushed the man further behind the railing. Yes, they were only on the second floor. Even though he wouldnāt die just because he fell from here, he was trembling in fear and begging for mercy.
But when Abella did that, what did they do?
Were they stupid people who knew pain but didnāt know when others were in pain?
āNow you understand these words. Everyone shut up and get out of here quietly.ā
āYes, yes. I willā¦ā¦. Your Majesty, soā¦ā¦.ā

Cade tilted his head. If they said this now, wouldnāt they really cross the walls of Amerigo? Time and time again, they would crawl over the fence and gnaw at Abella. The only thing he knew how to do was to kick them from Amerigo.
Cade pushed the man down the railing with the power of his hands.
āKu, kugh!ā
His hand were on the man whose eyes rolled over.
Boom-
Cade put him down.
Ah, now it seemed that the noise that had been bothering him in his head had stopped. Cade muttered to Amerigoās worms, who were weeping in tears.
āWhatās wrong? Heās dead.ā
Cade glanced downstairs. He saw a man clutching his legs and crying like a child. Look, heās fine.
Cade smiled and looked back at the nobles.
āGo back.ā
Those who had gathered rushed down the stairs in confusion. He wasnāt dead, but it was clear that he was thrown down with a murderous intent. Fearing that it might be their turn next, they ran away. Enoch, who was watching the situation, sighed briefly.
āā¦ā¦ Is Abella okay?ā
āIām hoping sheās okay.ā
Cade smiled as if he was fine. However, he just confirmed that he wasnāt fine. Cade was obviously crazy. Casually throwing people off the second floor was not something anyone could do.
And then.
āHa, ha ha ha ha ha!ā
Laughter was heard.
āArsene.ā
āLook. Cade. Youāre no different, are you? All humans live with a cruel and dirty inside. Still, youāre just pretending to be stubborn and covering it. Just like you.ā
Arsene came up to the second floor with a bouquet of red roses. It was so quiet that Arseneās murmurs could be heard by everyone.
Cade showed his teeth towards Arsene. A murderous energy different from before was shot towards Arsene.
āDonāt act like a watchdog like that, Cade. Because I have no intention of doing anything to Abella.ā
Arsene handed a bouquet of roses to Enoch.
āActually, Cade. Compared to them, I really havenāt done anything.ā
Arsene shrugged his shoulders lightly.
āDo you really think I am the only devil?ā
Cade sharpened his teeth.
āAfter all, you and I are the same.ā
Arsene passed by Cade. Cade grabbed Arseneās shoulder as he was about to enter through the gap in the open door.
āBut not you.ā
Arsene grabbed Cadeās wrist. Arsene clenched his teeth to Cade, who frowned and didnāt back down.
āā¦ā¦ Iāll see if sheās okay.ā
āYou were trying to kill Abella, too, Arsene. But youāre coming now, donāt be hypocritical.ā
āIā¦ā¦.ā
Arsene took a deep breath.
āIāve only imagined it, I havenāt experienced it.ā
Arseneās lips, who looked fine, were trembling.
āI never thought it would be like thisā¦ā¦. That I would feel so miserable and like a beggarā¦ā¦.ā
Arseneās grip on Cadeās wrist grew weaker and weaker. Arsene looked up at Cade with empty eyes.
āReallyā¦ā¦.ā
Arsene rubbed his face with his palm. He thought he wanted to kill Abella. He thought that if he could not have her, he would rather destroy her.
However, he realized that he had never imagined that he had never seen Abella. Arsene also realized that he would not have lived this world without Abella.
Arsene clasped Cadeās shoulders and exhaled harshly.
āā¦ā¦ Is she alive?ā
āā¦ā¦.ā
āIs she really alive?ā
Cade pushed Arsene away. Really, this guy or that guy.
How could there be so many hypocritical and bastard-like things? They didnāt know until Abella became like that, and was talking about their own superiority. They trembled like a dog in the rain in winter, imagining that Abella might be dead.
Cade opened Abellaās door wide and pushed Arsene on the back.
āIdiot.ā
Those self-pitying murmurs may have been directed at himself.
Arsene opened his eyes.
She looked like she was sleeping soundly.
āI replaced the priests and doctors. At first I thought Abella might die.ā
Cade was talking bluntly.
Cadeās face, leaning against the door, was vivid with deep fatigue. He had barely slept a wink, going back and forth between the Imperial Castle and Amerigo.
