Chapter 176
He tapped Zihat on the shoulder and went on.
As he glanced at the place where Chises stood with shaky eyes, Zihat turned around and stared at Chises’ back as he walked away. Behind the Crown Prince’s steps, many knights were walking behind him.
He could understand it.
A bloody wind began to blow in the Imperial Palace.
A woman whom he devoted his youth to… Although she never came close to him, he felt that when she died, a part of him would die, too, so Chises couldn’t let the Emperor kill her. He couldn’t act like he didn’t know.
So, he decided to kill the Emperor, his own father, who tried to kill her, a part of him.
“Right, you…”
“…Yes.”
Chises stared at Findar with a smile. Findar was broken. The splendid and dignified appearance of the past has disappeared without a trace, and now only an impoverished look remains. He looked at Findar with satisfaction before leaning his upper body forward.
“Did you get revenge?”
“…What?”
“I said revenge, revenge. Revenge on the one who killed your brother.”
“Revenge…”
Findar’s words slurred.
Even though she went to seek revenge, even that failed. Findar shook her head. At the same time, the Emperor’s face appeared in her mind.
“The Emperor.”
“Did you say the Emperor would do it for you?”
“…Yes.”
She answered in a low voice.
To confidently say that she entrusted the revenge of her one and only family to someone else, she looked embarrassed. Chises, who was looking at Findar, gently covered his mouth with a clenched fist and laughed. He was mocking her.
“…I find myself funny, too.”
“No, no. There seems to be a misunderstanding. I didn’t laugh at you.”
“Yes?”
“If you can’t get revenge, it’s not a bad thing to leave it to someone who can. Rather, it is rather efficient.”
“Well, then what…”
“Ah, the one I laughed at was the Emperor.”
“Yes?”
The look on his face when he said the word Emperor was fierce. There was even contempt in his eyes as he spoke of his own father.
Chises moved his head slowly.
“It’s funny that he’s the one you need to get revenge on, and you asked for his help.”
“…What is that?”
Findar tilted her head, unable to grasp his words. It was the Emperor whom she needed to get revenge on, and she asked him for help? Findar’s heart began to thump. Even as he watched her face go white, Chises did not stop talking.
“It was the Emperor who killed your brother, Benjamin.”
“….!”
“Getting rid of unnecessary words is his specialty and hobby.”
Findar’s eyes shook.
“I think he was trying to use you to do something with Duke Ferial and his wife, whom he didn’t like.”
“….”
“You have the wrong person to take revenge on.”
Of course, looking closely at her revenge, it should be on Azela. It didn’t matter to the Emperor or Chises. He was also of the same type as the Emperor, after all. Just as the Emperor used Findar to get rid of Zagnac, he also used her.
Whatever the truth was, it didn’t matter.
“The person you will avenge is the Emperor.”
His own father and Emperor of this empire.
Chises judged him as an enemy… an enemy who touched his own thing. This was the Emperor’s education. This was what he was taught since he was a child. If anyone wanted his thing, even if it was his brother, he had to bite their neck.
If he hesitated, he would be the one who got bitten.
“I will give this to you.”
So, he was thinking of biting the Emperor who touched his thing. When Chises took a small bottle from his chest and held it out to her, Findar’s hand suddenly trembled when she received the small bottle he held out.
“The Emperor is off guard with you.”
“….”
“Just one drop is all it takes. Just one drop.”
“….”
“Your revenge will succeed.”
Chise smiled brightly.
‘What to do.’
Daniel was complicated.
He had to go to Azela, and he also had to get revenge on Chises. Besides, he had to clear away that woman who was giving off a gloomy atmosphere within the mansion. There was a mountain of work to do, that he had no idea what he should do first.
To make matters worse, there were rumors circulating that Zagnac had returned this morning.
He wished it wasn’t true. He wanted Azela to be alone, he wanted her to be lonely. So he can bring her back.
‘…Alright, let’s go convince Azela first.’
Let’s deal with Chises next.
Bringing Azela to his side would be revenge for Chises already. At the thought, just as Daniel jumped up from his seat when he had made up his mind, a knocking sound came from the library door simultaneously.
“….”
After standing up, Daniel opened the door himself. Standing in front of the door of the library was…
“…Sylvia?”
It was none other than Sylvia.
His eyes widened in surprise. It was because Sylvia was a little different from usual. She was neither grim nor haggard. She, of course, didn’t look as good as before because she had lost weight and her cheekbones were exposed.
“Daniel.”
She was beautiful, dressed up in a fancy dress and jewelry.
Since she was originally a beautiful woman, she was still beautiful even when she got impoverished. Daniel couldn’t say anything, seeing her looking up at him from up close. It was because his heart pounded for a moment when he saw her.
“Daniel?”
As she called his name again, Daniel forgot about Azela for a moment when those little lips called out his name. He regretted that he should have just lived happily with Sylvia.
‘It’s not too late even now.’
Just as he was about to put his hand on her shoulder—
“I’m getting out of here.”
—Sylvia looked up at Daniel with a cold gaze.
“…What?”
“It’s okay to say that you abandoned me. The papers… I don’t know how to handle it, so I’ll have to ask you instead.”
“Hold, hold on. Sylvia.”
“Can I take the jewels you bought me? I’ll consider it alimony. Don’t worry, I have no intention of going out and talking about you after we separate.”
When Sylvia, who nodded her head lightly at Daniel, turned around with a large bag in her hand, the startled Daniel ran after her.
“Wait a minute. Sylvia!”
“…What.”
“Are you going to leave now?”
“Yes.”
“Leaving me?”
“Yes.”
“You want a divorce?”
“Yes.”
He was speechless, seeing her answering all of the questions with ‘yes.’ She really wanted to get out. He hated seeing her haggard, and he didn’t want her to be by his side when he brought Azela back, but when she said she was going out…
“What if you leave?”
“…What?”
“Where are you going after you leave? Sylvia, you have no money, no family.”
There’s only me.
He swallowed those words. He never thought that she would say goodbye to him first. He thought that Sylvia, who had nowhere to go, would definitely cling to him even if he told her to leave.
Daniel felt a chill run down his back.
“Think carefully. Once you leave, it’s over.”
“Azela wasn’t like that.”
“That, that…”
“Yes, I know it’s over once I leave. Don’t worry, I won’t come back to you.”
His face went pale. Sylvia, who looked at Daniel with strange eyes, turned around and walked away. The sound of her heels echoed loudly in the quiet mansion. Daniel, watching her receding back, exclaimed with an angry face.
“You promised not to abandon me first!”
Her steps stopped at his cry.
“That’s right.”
As Sylvia turned her head, there was no emotion in her cold gaze.
“I never abandoned you, Daniel.”
“Sylvia.”
“You abandoned me.”
Her cold stare made Daniel choke. It was a look he had never seen before.
In the meanwhile, the servant who was watching all of this from Daniel’s side watched the two of them with bated breath.
