A cool breeze spread all the way to her fingertips.

She felt the powers that had been encroaching on her darkly lifted off and her vision cleared.
The cool energy gradually spread and helped Abella’s inner powers.

And Abella woke up.

“Abella.”

Cade smiled faintly.

“…Cade?”

“Welcome back.”

Cade, who was sitting on the bedside, gently took Abella’s hand.
Abella’s purple eyes twinkled.
It felt like she had a long dream.

She found her past in it.
And now it was clear whose hand to hold.
This is what Abella had been longing for for a long time.

Abella grabbed Cade’s hand.

“Thank you for waiting.”

Abella smiled.
Complicated emotions were still brewing in her.
The memories she retrieved were so heavy and dark that Abella could not hold it alone.

She was still contemplating.

‘Do I deserve to be alive?’

‘Am I really the seed of disaster?’

‘I should not have been born when I saw that even my mother drove me to death.’

However, she didn’t want to show those feelings in front of Cade, who had repeatedly sacrificed for Abella.
So Abella did her best and smiled.
for Cade.

Lyla bit her nails.

“Ah……”

Blood was flowing.

Lyla wrapped her blunt fingers in a towel and sat down on the bed.
When she first found out that she had returned with all her memories, Lyla thought that she would be able to put the world under her feet.
Of course, Arsene was also in that world.

In her past life, all she had longed for was for the devil’s shell to be shattered, but all she had in her hands was a broken rag (the lit tl is rags/mop but it was more of a broken person/ruined/no longer human, since rags kind of get dirty/ruined over time).

Arsene, her object of obsession has disappeared, leaving only debauchery, meaningless, and no longer harmful.
That wasn’t what Lyla wanted.

As soon as she realized that she had returned, she gave Arsene a drug to lose his memory.
And soon Abella left.
It was Amerigo’s relatives who helped move and expel Abella.
It wasn’t that hard for her to use Chloe and instigate Gilmus.
Up until then, Lyla thought her plans were going well.

But.

The future changed by her continued to change over and over again.

It was back to the starting point again.

Arsene regained her memory, and the madness was still directed at Abella.
Besides, it wasn’t just Lyla who returned.
Cade, who could lock her in this mighty imperial castle, was also a returner.
Cade was controlling Lyla by force.

She was completely cut off from the outside world.

At least, the handmaidens who she had a connection with, occasionally delivered news from outside.

Lyla stared at the floor with an anxious gaze.

“Think about it, Lyla.
Think……”

In this case, it seemed that she would lose everything she wanted while trapped inside.
The look in his eyes as Cade looked at Arsene contained clear murderous energy.

“It shouldn’t be like this…”

Remember.
How to keep Arsene alive and put him in her hands.

Shouldn’t it be enough to erase Arsene’s memories again? It won’t be difficult to get the drug.
It’s difficult to give Arsene the drug.
This time she will have to feed him twice as much as she did last time.
Now, she would get even the broken devil in her hands.
Better than losing him altogether.

If she ran away with Arsene, who had lost his memory, everything seemed to be resolved.
To a very, very distant place.

Her head, already engulfed in anxiety, couldn’t think of any more, and Lyla thought it was best.

This method, which she had previously excluded, would be her only breakthrough.

Lyla had a pale face and beckoned to the handmaid, who took a bribe from her.

“Tell His Majesty the Emperor that I want to see him.”

Grand Madam Sirius was unsuccessful in convincing Arsene.

She went back to the estate lonely like a defeated soldier.
She gave up on Arsene.

Arsene had a cause anyway.

Abella and Arsene’s engagement is intact.
Even if he pushed the marriage, there was no one who could legally stop Arsene.
Even if it was the emperor, the sacred promises could not be broken at will.

Arsene shook the bell and called the butler of the mansion.

“…I have to write a marriage proposal to send to Amerigo.
Ask the priest at the temple.”

“Yes, Duke.”

Arsene smiled softly.

Even the temple has received money from Sirius, so they will have no choice but to help proceed even if it was a forced marriage.

And there was someone in Amerigo who could help Arsene.

“And prepare a letter for Grand Madam Amerigo.”

The shameless woman who wants to survive by selling her daughter will help Arsene.
Even in order not to expose her own secrets.

Cade went back.

Abella has returned to the front line despite the disapproval of her surroundings.

Louisa kept her mouth shut, concentrating on her work, and Enoch looked at Abella in his spare time.

Then he finally opened his mouth because he couldn’t stand it.

“Abela.”

“Enoch?”

“……Talk with me.”

Abella nodded her head with a pale face.
Before Abella or Enoch could say anything, Louisa took turns looking at the two and left the office.
She was actually listening to the two’s conversation, pretending she wasn’t interested.

“What about?”

Abella put down the papers she was holding in her hands.

Enoch clenched his teeth.
Abella’s face, which was definitely thinner than before coming to Timur, struck Enoch’s heart.

“…are you okay?”

“Me?”

“You were kidnapped.”

“I came back in less than a few hours, is that a kidnapping? Not even a day has passed.”

“It was Duke Arsene.”

Enoch said in a cracked voice.

Enoch believed that Arsene liked Abella.
But can he do that to the person he likes? Leaving trauma behind?

The love Enoch knew was not like that.
Was the feeling of liking her becoming an excuse for crime?

“Enoch… this is…”

Abella chose her words.
She didn’t know where to start her story.
She doesn’t know much about Arsene either.
When did it start to get messed up?

From the moment she knew it, Arsene had been obsessed with Abella.

Enoch seemed to think of Abella as a bird that could pop in his hand.

“I don’t know either.”

Abella answered honestly.

She doesn’t know how to treat Arsene, and she doesn’t know how to get away from him.
The messed up relationship was heading for catastrophe, but Arsene still had a cause.

Arsene told Abella to get married.

“Let’s run away, Abella.”

Enoch said seriously.

“Clemington does not believe in the curse of Skellus, nor does it have Arsene.
We can restrict his entry at any time.
Arsene won’t be able to touch Clemington’s royalty.
You can be free there.”

Enoch’s heart raced.
That was the best move Enoch had in mind.

Abella let out a sigh.
At the sound of her breathing, Enoch’s heart stopped again.

“Abella……?”

“Is that really freedom?”

“……”

“I don’t want to marry you.
I have no intention of living with you for the rest of my life.
Enoch, I made it clear.
I’m not going to do anything for you, and now this won’t be your chance.”

Abella cut Enoch coldly even at this moment.

She was always like that.

She hated him coming over the line she had drawn.
Abella didn’t want to be anyone’s pain anymore and she hated the act of asking for hope.

Even now, Abella simply cut off the hope Enoch had unconsciously held.

“…Abella.”

“One last thing, Enoch.”

Abella’s purple eyes lit up with a dazzling light.

Although she woke up after a long period of illness, Abella’s intimidation and beauty were still there.
Enoch was enamored with her, as he used to be.

Enoch swallowed the sobs inside.

“Yes.”

“Never cross the line again.
Then I won’t see you anymore.”

“……Yes”

Enoch smiled softly.

“And you don’t have to worry.
There must be a way.”

There was always a hole to protrude.
Just as Abella left for Vincent without anything and took the success with her hands.
This time too, there must be a way to get out of Arsene and regain her freedom.

Apart from that, the festering inside won’t get better.

Abella bit her lip.

She asked herself countless times.

‘Do I deserve to live?’

Abella’s eyes trembled slightly.
What the hell did she do wrong that she get pushed the corner? Amerigo felt like a dress that didn’t fit Abella, and even Simons was like a shackle that entangled her.

Abella sincerely…

‘I want to leave.’

To a place where no one knows her.
Neither Vincent nor Timur.
She wanted to die alone, where she no longer had to think about Amerigo.

That was the serenity that Abella wanted.
