Chapter 53

In other things, when such a cold person got entangled with Abella Amerigo, his eyes would turn upside down like that.

Not long ago, thanks to Abella accompanying the emperor to events, there were many talks generated. In particular, their visit to the opera.

He had a difficult time preventing the rumors from spreading.

Abella Amerigo was too noisy to be tied to the emperor.

Either way, the emperor didn’t even care.

“Sh*t……”

Burke’s heart sank, and he banged his head against the wall of the carriage.

“……Fortunately, the wall of the carriage is not broken.”

Burke cleared his throat.

“You have to come back early today. Your attending physician……  ”

“I don’t know how many times you’ve said the same thing.”

That’s right. It was because you’re like a child.

Burke swallowed what he couldn’t say. Soon they would reach the Amerigo mansion. So, there was no need to offend the emperor.

Burke diligently followed after Cade, who opened the door and jumped out of the carriage.

The eyes of those who recognized the emperor became focused.

“Your Majesty is coming!”

The dozing attendant spotted Cade. He then raised his head and shouted hurriedly at the sound of footsteps suddenly getting closer.

Cade always thought he had poor timing.

Ever since he was young.

And it was the same now.

Naturally, Abella and Arsene were among the gazes that focused on him.

Even with a young child in Abella’s arms, they were standing side by side. With the child in her arms, it looked like a blessed family.

Arsene by Abella’s side.

Damn it.

Even though he expected it, he couldn’t help but feel dirty. Cade walked slowly towards them.

Abella’s reflection in his open eyes was miserable.

“Your Majesty.”

“Little Lord. Congratulations on your birthday.”

Cade stroked the head of the little kid staring at him, then turned his gaze to Abella.

It was a subtle expression, but it was a face that did not seem very happy.

The only comforting thing was the dress Abella wore. The outfit he had presented.

“Lady Abella.”

Abella smiled awkwardly at him, nodding her head. Cade had thoughtfully greeted her.

“Duke Sirius.”

“Greetings, Your Majesty the Emperor.”

Again, Cade was late.

Count Gilmus nervously paced across the garden.

‘Why are you so late!’

They were supposed to meet here at 9 o’clock today.

In the distance, he saw the Duke of Sirius, Arsene, unhurriedly approach him. His sharp eyes were very different from Arsene. And so was the greed.

Count Gilmus smiled brightly.

“Hello.”

“Hello.”

Count Gilmus said in an arrogant voice and laughed as his stomach twisted into a knot. The Duke of Sirius had absolute power, both in terms of status and power.

He was not someone that Count Gilmus could rub against. The only thing Count Gilmus could count on was the weakness of Sirius he held.

A weakness that would shake him.

On the right side of the banquet hall, there was a mountain of gifts brought by people to congratulate the little lord and Mrs. Amerigo, who was holding Simon.

Cade leaned against the wall and looked at Abella. Arsene, of course, stood by Abella’s side. Cade, instead, was surrounded by young girls who flirted with him, but he had no interest.

Of course, besides that, there were not just one or two nobles who were eager to talk to Cade at least once.

However, they were not as fearless as the young ladies who occupied Cade’s surroundings, and because they knew Cade’s sincerity, they couldn’t get closer.

Cade glanced at the drink in his hand.

Ah.

‘There’s a way to get Abella away from his side.’

Cade pursed his lips like a fish. He drew close to one of the young girls around him. Just one gesture was enough.

Cade whispered languidly.

“Lady.”

“Yes, Your Majesty! I’m Aria of Count Isaac.”

The cheeks of the woman shyly introducing herself were red.

“I have a favor to ask for you.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

“Let me borrow your dress for a moment.”

“Yes, yes?”

Aria raised her eyes to the words she couldn’t understand. She curiously watched his beautiful face, hardened coolly. He slowly tilted the glass he was holding in his hand. That was definitely intentional.

Aria’s face turned pale.

“It’s nothing much, Lady. Go ahead and ask Lady Abella for a change of clothes. And you come directly to the Imperial Palace to get the reimbursement for this dress. It’s very easy, right?”

Cade whispered like a snake fluttering his red tongue.

Aria nodded her head with clouded eyes, like a sailor possessed by a siren. Cade was overly handsome.

Besides, he still knew very well how to deceive young ladies.

“Good.”
