Chapter 180
So, what did Azela mean by it succeeded?
Livia tilted her face in an incomprehensible way. Could it be that this kind-hearted woman was telling her lies to comfort herself?
At the thought, Doubt bloomed on Livia’s face.
“Really. Thanks to this, Zagnac and I were able to talk about the future. I really, really wanted to say thank you.”
Looking at Azela’s bright face, it didn’t seem like a lie.
Livia scratched her head. She didn’t understand it, but if everything went well, that was all right. Then, she nodded her head and smiled as she looked at Azela.
And that was then.
“Your, Your Highness! His Majesty!”
Daran, who had gone out, ran into the bedroom without any manners, shedding a cold sweat. Livia furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Azela.
“Na, Nanny! I’m talking to an important guest right now, you’re being rude…!”
“Big, big trouble.”
Despite her scolding, Daran did not give in. Her trembling hands were wandering in the air, not knowing where to go. Daran was always calm no matter what happened, so how could she be so flustered?
Livia lifted the blanket that had been covering her and stood up from the bed.
Perhaps because of her physical condition, her head spun and her legs were unsteady. Azela, who was next to her, hurriedly looped her arms around her waist and supported her.
“… What’s going on? Calm down and tell me calmly.”
Livia, who gave Azela a grateful glance, asked Daran in a calm voice. The girl who was blushing a moment ago disappeared, and standing there was the 8th princess of this empire, Livia.
“The Emperor, Emperor..”
“The Emperor?”
Livia’s eyes widened in shock when a person she had never even thought of was mentioned. What was wrong with the Emperor? Did the Emperor really intend to punish her this time?
Daran looked at Livia and Azela alternately and spoke in a tearful voice.
“His Majesty has passed away.”
The Master of the Empire has died.
The original design that Findar left behind and the fame that had already spread. Thanks to those two things, the boutique shop was full of energy despite all the ugly rumors.
People who thought that the number of customers would have decreased because of the spread of the strange rumor decided that this was the time to buy dresses in large quantities that they had never been able to buy before. That action ultimately made the dresses a limited product and limited products drove people to consume them.
“…I don’t think there will be any major problems.”
Zagnac, who received a report on the sales status from an employee, shrugged his shoulders without any problem. Fortunately, it was an unnecessary worry.
After looking around the interior of the boutique shop, which was still as lively as before, he left the store. While his extinction has stopped now, he didn’t know when it would start again. He wanted to remain by Azela’s side, even if only for a little while.
“…Duke.”
When Zagnac left the store and was about to get into the carriage, a familiar voice came in his ears. It was a voice he couldn’t ignore. When he turned his head towards the dark alley, hidden in the shadows, someone took a step in front of him.
The incredible figure was revealed to the sunlight.
“…Findar.”
It was Findar dressed in shabby attire, whatever had happened to her. She looked somewhat strange. The clothes she was wearing were torn, and her hair was a mess.
Even at first glance, she looked like someone who had been through difficult times.
The most important thing, more than her appearance, was that her expression was distorted, neither smiling nor crying.
Of course, if he wanted to ignore it, he could easily ignore it since she knew his true identity, she resented him and actually tried to kill him. It wasn’t in Zagnac’s best interest to help her, and maybe this was a trap she had set for him.
But.
“What are you doing here?”
He could no longer do that. He learned emotions and knew how to feel pain, and he learned the fear of losing and the sorrow of waiting… that was why he couldn’t leave Findar alone. Moreover, he was not a devil now.
Zagnac took off his robe and draped it over Findar’s shoulders, leading her towards the carriage. There were too many eyes to talk here.
“Come here and talk…”
Before he could finish speaking, she coldly slapped his hand away.
Zagnac looked back with a surprised face. Findar was scared and strange. She did not show hatred, resentment, or murderous intent towards him like before.
“It, it’s over now.”
“Findar…?”
“Please help me, Duke. Please help me.”
Seeing that Findar’s hands were shaking, something must have happened.
Startled, he grabbed her shoulder strongly. Before he could ask what was going on, she uttered with a smile along with tears.
“I, I killed the Emperor…”
“Findar, what are you saying?”
Zagnac’s eyes darkened at the unbelievable words. Findar killed the Emperor? What on earth did this mean? Besides, it was not anyone else but Findar.
She cupped her face in her trembling hands.
“Aahh… Aaahhh…!”
It was a screeching cry. Before they could draw anyone else’s attention, a startled Zagnac hurriedly took her with him and got into the carriage.
When they got into the carriage, the coachman left in a hurry.
Even after getting into the carriage, Findar still couldn’t come to her senses as she buried her face in her palm and muttered something unintelligible. Zagnac just stayed quiet and waited for her to speak up.
‘…The Emperor is dead?’
Was that true? He looked at Findar as he thought.
This was nonsense. What kind of person was he? He was a human being created to antagonize the devil Zagnac… for a person like that to be defeated by Findar, who didn’t even know how to do martial arts.
This couldn’t happen.
Nevertheless, Findar’s condition didn’t seem to be a lie. She wasn’t even acting.
“What will happen to me?”
After a while, she lowered her hands that were covering her face, and he asked, “Tell me in detail what happened.”
“I, I’m so scared… The only person I could think of was the Duke.”
“You killed the Emperor. Is that true?”
Answering Zagnac’s question, Findar bit her lower lip hard before she lowered her head with tear-filled eyes. The wetness in her eyes left him speechless.
“How on earth…”
“Crown, Crown Prince Chises told me.”
…Chises?
Another unexpected name was mentioned. Despite seeing Zagnac frown, Findar didn’t seem to have thought anything of it as her words persisted.
“The Emperor… killed Benjamin. Actually, the person I need to take revenge on is the Emperor, not the Duke.”
“….!”
“The Emperor let his guard down because I am a useless person who knows nothing. So I… I—Poison, poison.”
“Did Crown Prince Chises order you to poison the Emperor?”
She did not answer his question as she held and unclenched her hand for a while and just lowered her head with a despaired look.
Then, Findar raised her head and grabbed Zagnac’s sleeve.
“Is that right? Not the Duke, but the Emperor. The Emperor made Benjamin like that, right?”
“Findar.”
“I’m not wrong, am I? He deserved to be, to be killed, right? That person.”
It was not wrong, because it was the Emperor who used Benjamin and eventually killed him. Still, that wasn’t the only thing that killed Benjamin. The Emperor who used him, Zagnac who forced him to make a choice, and even Azela who begged him…
In fact, everyone had killed him.
How could he say that?
“They are the bad ones.”
When Zagnac comforted her with a lowered gaze, Findar lowered her head again.
Findar killed the Emperor. Chises took advantage of her.
While the reason was unknown, he must have no longer needed his father, and he wouldn’t leave Findar, who killed the Emperor, alone. However, Zagnac couldn’t take her to the mansion because he didn’t want to create a situation where Azela and Findar ran into each other.
“Findar.”
Findar raised her devastated gaze at his call.
“Please stay at my villa on the outskirts for the time being.”
That was all he could do.
