“Sigh….”

Cassius, with his arms, crossed over the terrace railing, sighed.

He swept away his glossy black hair as if something were not going well.

‘Blothea, why would she stay for 15 days?’

Then, as soon as he sighed a second time, a girl with pink hair appeared on the terrace.

“Then the ground will sink. Why are you sighing like that?”

Erica said as she stepped toward the railing.

As if he didn’t like her, Cassius snapped in a spiny voice.

“Who else would I be sighing for if not you?”

Erica, however, was received in an unshakable voice without a wink.

“I’m holding myself back from sighing when I see your face, but do you have to show that you don’t like it?”

“Because I hate what I hate.”

Erica snorted at Cassius’s reply.

“Good. I hate you, too. But why don’t you try at least?”

“I don’t think you’re in a position to tell me what to do.”

For a while, the two looked at each other with burning eyes as if they were eating each other.

Erica was the first to end the bloody fight.

“Does Yerine know that you’re picking a fight with me?”

“Picking a fight? You’re the one who started it, Blothea.”

“You’re not being so narrow-minded about what I said that day before, are you?”

And Erica laughed in a clear voice as if the jade beads were rolling.

“I’m just telling you the truth.”

“Yes, you are.”

Cassius replied in a sarcastic voice.

“Then when the hell are you going?”

“I told you, I’ll be back after 14 days. Did you forget about it even though you made it so obvious that you didn’t like me being here?”

Looking down at Erica, who never lost a word, Cassius spouted his tongue.

He needs to endure the next 14 days, but he feels like 15 days have already passed.

Cassius and Erica could not fight openly when Yerine was in front of them.

After the ball incident, they promised to Yerine that they would not fight each other.

When she left, however, a fight broke out without fail.

And even when Yerine was there, the fight continued, but only by purifying the language or obscuring the expression.

“So, I have 14 days left to spend a happy day with Yerine.”

Cassius frowned in on the remark.

“I’m sorry, but I’m also staying in this castle in those 14 days.”

“Excuse me, Prince.”

Erica spoke in a rousing tone as if she was dumbfounded.

“If you’ve dominated Yerine for more than a month after vacation, can’t you give me about 15 days?”

“What?”

Cassius opened his eyes thinly and asked back.

And as if to tease him, Erica held her hands together and put on a look of happiness.

“Thankfully, I think Yerine was looking forward to spending time with me.”

Speaking with her eyes shining like tourmaline, she changed her face like a palm flip and glared fiercely at Cassius.

“So please don’t disturb us. Then Yerine will be very sad.”

“Huh, that’s ridiculous.”

“Well, it won’t be a short period for the half month, so I’ll let you in very occasionally. Is that enough to satisfy you?”

Her pink eyes, looking straight at him calmly, refuted Cassius with a look of bewilderment.

“No, what groundless confidence did you expect that Yerine is looking forward to spending the days with you?”

At Cassius’s words, Erica raised the corners of her mouth and revealed her white teeth.

“Well, you weren’t there, so no wonder you didn’t know.”

Cassius frowned even more at the sight of Erica acting as if she really had something to believe.

“If you’re so curious, I can let you know.”

“No, I’m not curious.”

Cassius turned around and said,

But that doesn’t mean that he can’t hear what she says behind his back.

“Yerine gave me a present.”

Stopping at Erica’s words, Cassius turned back and laughed at her.

“Are your confidence raised up just because of one gift, Blothea? Originally, the Duke of Spades has a tradition of giving gifts to guests when they invite them.”

And he asked Erica in a sarcastic voice, looking at her at an angle.

“Don’t tell me, you didn’t know that? You had the Duke of Spade as your friend?”

But Erica remained relaxed.

“How can I couldn’t know? But the gift that Yerine gave me was special. She gave me chocolate cookies in a heart-shaped box.”

The chocolate cookie itself was not a problem.

However, Cassius was annoyed that the shape of the gift box was a heart shape.

“It’s in the heart shape. She also decorated it in a pretty ribbon, how cute! It was a waste to eat.”

Erica emphasized the heart shape as if she was trying to increase Cassius’s patience.

“It must be a coincidence.”

“I don’t think so. Did Yerine give you a heart-shaped gift box, too?”

“We’re so close that we don’t have to exchange such things.”

“You’re good at speaking.”

“That’s why she’s letting me stay in the mansion for the rest of the vacation.”

Cassius said, crossing his arms and raising his eyebrows.

“It’s never easy to get someone else into your own mansion. Yerine is indeed broad-minded, but I’m getting special treatment that can’t compare with you, Blothea.”

But Erica didn’t lose and was retaken.

“I’m sure you’re the one who told her to let you stay first. And I guess Yerine took you with great generosity because she felt sorry for you.”

“You’re just a good speaker.”

“I’m not like you. Yerine like me more—”

The two people, who were concentrating on a fiery verbal fight, did not notice the sound of footsteps coming behind their backs.

“Oh, you two were together. What are you doing there?”

With the cheerful voice of Yerine, Erica and Cassius both loosened their foreheads and looked back.

“Breakfast is ready. Let’s go before it cools down.”

Now that Yerine appeared, they could not fight like before, growling.

So both Cassius and Erica approached Yerine with a smile as if nothing had happened.

“Thanks for calling me, Yerine.”

“Yes, let’s go quickly.”

Yerine smiled and asked the two with her arms crossed

“By the way, were you two talking?”

In fact, Cassius was a little afraid because all they had wasn’t a conversation, but a quarrel with each other, but he eventually answered her.

“Yes, just a little talk. It wasn’t a big deal.”

“Right, it wasn’t a big deal.”

While Yerine was not looking, Erica stared at Cassius as if she didn’t like him.

“Okay, I see.”

Fortunately, Yerine didn’t notice Erica’s cold eyes.

“Glad to hear that! I wanted you two to get closer!”

“Huh?”

Cassius needed about three seconds to understand Yerine properly.

‘Me? Become close? With a woman like that?’

But Yerine, unaware of Cassius’ innermost thoughts, continued to speak in a lively voice.

“I’m glad to see you two get along without fighting like last time.”

Yerine laughed really gladly as she said that.

“Let’s get along well together in the future, the three of us. Don’t you think it’ll be fun?”

Looking at her smiling face, they hardly could say, ‘I’m never going to get close to him/her.’

“Ah-ha, of course.”

Erica quickly took the lead and laughed.

“Yes, sounds like fun.”

Cassius followed Erica and spoke with a clenched tooth.

In response to the two people’s answers, Yerine showed a bright smile and began to explain the breakfast menu in an excited voice.

‘Yes, as long as Yerine is happy…….’

To become close with Erica, that would not happen even if the sky collapsed.

But he could do as much acting as he could for Yerine.

‘Let’s just hold on for 15 days.’

Such Cassius’s mind could not have known.

‘Isn’t it obvious? I’ll have to tell them like this so the two can fight less.’

In fact, Yerine, who was listening to all the conversations behind the wall, pretended not to know.

“Oh, my gosh………”

When Eugene came into the room, he gasped and sank down on the bed.

Without wiping the sweat off his forehead, he found the bottle of water lying on the table as soon as he sat on the bed.

As he gulped down the water, he emptied the bottle at once.

‘Damn it, I don’t know if I’ve lost my stamina. I can’t believe I’m tired of training like this.’

As he kicked his tongue and unbuttoned his shirt, cool air touched his flesh.

“I can’t keep doing this.….”

At the moment, in Eugene’s mind, Yerine’s face came to mind, telling him not to train at dawn until he went home.

Yerine seemed to be laughing when she said it, but Eugene was actually going to do the early morning training and was doing it again.

‘It may seem simple, but I have a good feeling about it.’

After thinking so, Eugene shook his head and got up.

‘This is not the time for that. I shouldn’t stay still.’

While Eugene is still there, Yerine will be either refining her magic skills or working as a Housekeeper.

He couldn’t fall behind while she was trying to equip herself with Trump’s skills.

At first, his goal was to go beyond her, and he was frustrated because he couldn’t.

But not now.

For now, all he wanted was to be not short of standing beside her.

‘Oh, why do I think of that at a time like this?’

Eugene, who complained in his heart, approached the wardrobe, thinking that he should only change his sweaty clothes.

It was just then.

Suddenly the opal ring on the desk began to glow.

Eugene frowned at the light.

‘What’s going on?’

The ring was used by Eugene to communicate with his followers urgently.

After the incident in which followers tried to undermine Yerine, Eugene cut off contact with all his followers except one who did not participate in the case.

So now the ring was only used as a means of contact with that one follower.

‘If it’s Ydir, he doesn’t call me unless it’s a matter of something important.’

Eugene has been telling him to use the ring only for urgent matters because he hates unnecessary contact.

And Ydir has never broken what Eugene said so far.

“It’s me. What’s going on?”

When he tapped the opal, Ydir’s voice came out of the jewellery.

– Eu, Eugene, I’m sorry. I can’t think of anyone else but Eugene to talk about this.….

Ydir stammered out of his usual way, and his voice was shaking.

Eugene noticed something unusual happened at once.

“It’s all right, speak slowly.”

A brief silence ensued, and Ydir, who cleared his voice, opened his mouth in a slightly cracked voice.

– The, they’re dead. Three people died in Flantz Payne…….

It was strange.

Flantz Payne was a busy street with shops.

‘Three people died there. Was there an illegal duel?’

– I saw it. Those people are dying.

Eugene asked, frowning his forehead.

“Did you see it? You?”

– Yes.

“Then testify…….”

– No, no one will believe me.

Ydir shouted in a rousing voice in excitement.

“Ydir, calm down. What did you see?”

Then Ydir answered.

– The monster, it was a monster. It was definitely a monster.

“Monster?”

Eugene asked with a frown.

And beyond the jewels, a voice of horror resounded.

– I saw a black, multi-armed monster kill people!
