Yurisien and Urgen, who had come out to a corner of the garden, were having a conversation.

There was one reason why Urgen had remained silent even in the face of Edna’s absurd behavior.

“Do you know that I’m preparing to sever ties with Count Calypso?”

Edna and Yurisien were friends, but Edna had not offered any help to Yurisien during the painful past three years.

Evidence had been found that Yurisien had sent numerous letters to Count Calypso, but not a single one had been returned; they had all been discarded. Moreover, Edna, Yeriel, and Adel had often ridiculed Yurisien’s fallen state.

[Well, I guess she thought she could become something after leaving Windsor.] [No, she thought she could become something herself. So, are they going down to the abyss together?] [It’s the end for someone who was once called a lady, but now has no unity. Because she doesn’t belong to the community.]

Urgen couldn’t stand to watch that behavior. But the relationship with Count Calypso was not only Urgen’s concern but also a part of Yurisien’s human connections.

If Yurisien decided to forgive them, Urgen was ready to persuade once, and he was willing to endure as long as Yurisien chose to maintain the relationship.

“Of course, Father. I don’t need to cling to them anymore.”

If she wanted to seek affection, she could do so with someone else. Not that Yurisien needed to seek affection in the first place.

“Right. You don’t make friends to cling to them, but if a hidden friend doesn’t reveal themselves, there’s no need to keep them around.”

Urgen chuckled casually.

Now, Windsor wouldn’t be able to say a word. Whether the engagement with Stebain Youngsik would happen or not was uncertain, and even if it did, whether it would bring happiness was also unknown.

Moreover, Count Calypso had gained a lot of unjust business advantages by manipulating Kendall over the past three years. Urgen had prepared to recover that when Count Calypso wavered, not Windsor.

“But there is one thing that worries me. I may have… gone a bit too far.”

If she had stopped at an appropriate point, the nobles might have believed that Benjamin’s infidelity was true. They could have doubted Yurisien’s integrity.

“What if it reaches the prince’s ears?”
Then, for the first time, the information and evidence Benjamin obtained while having an affair with Raphenein becomes useless. Especially the fact that Hwangbi tried to have Raphenein feed poison to Benjamin. Yurisien was worried about this, but Urgen’s thoughts were a bit different.

“In my opinion, Hwangbi may already be aware. So, wouldn’t she have finished Kendall and his daughter?”

The key was whether Raphenein, before her death, had revealed everything. However, considering that the threats against Benjamin had not been carried out so far, Raphenein might have left the world without saying anything.

“It would have been nice if we could find out from Raphenein’s mouth what Kendall was researching under Hwangbi’s orders.”

Urgen clicked his tongue lightly. It seemed that he regretted only Raphenein’s death. Yurisien, not being a tragic heroine like they said, didn’t mourn Raphenein’s death separately. That was still the case.

“Don’t worry too much. It’s better that there are many eyes watching you.”

Then, from any angle, at any moment, someone might catch a glimpse of the scene.

As Urgen comforted Yurisien and was about to return to the party, he said, “Duke Windsor, please come out to welcome us. It’s the honorable visit of Greta Rodyt Everium Oppenhide Hwangbi!”
