Being locked up in such a place couldn’t have been easy. He was angry at himself for laughing at her resilience, claiming that she had endured well. There was no difference between her and this chambermaid.

Machi, who had been watching his mood, woke up the chambermaid. Startled, she opened her eyes and bowed down to Cahilin.

“Who ordered you?”

The chambermaid wouldn’t have acted alone in such a matter. Even if she was just a chambermaid, Reneolla was a Countess loved by the Second Prince and also his sister.
After half a day, the chambermaid, who had become haggard, couldn’t even open her mouth and only rolled her eyes while shivering. In response, Cahilin turned coldly.

“Lock her up.”

“Wait, Your Highness! I’ll explain everything!”

The chambermaid shouted desperately, trembling and prostrating herself.

“It was the maid… Eileen, the maid ordered me. I did exactly as she instructed. I swear!”

The maid Eileen wouldn’t have orchestrated such a thing alone. Even though she was just a maid, Reneolla was a beloved countess and the sister of the Second Prince.

Cahilin recalled the blue-haired maid who stood beside the Second Princess among the four maids.

Though mimicking a human, she didn’t look messy enough to not recognize her as a fairy. Moreover, Cahilin had already collected information.

Connecting the dots from the chambermaid to the maid Eileen, who had blue hair and was next to Princess Floria De Hilic, was a thought that occurred to him. He had suspected and confirmed.

Cahilin took a deep breath and exhaled. Then, he turned his head towards Machi.

“Your Highness!”

Despite the chambermaid’s horror and clinging, Cahilin brushed her off mercilessly and left the prison. Beyond the sound of the lock being closed, screams and desperate cries were mixed.

“I will look into Baron Hyuron.”

Listening to the officer’s words, Cahilin clenched his teeth. His foolish younger brother dragged him into a troublesome matter.

In fact, Cahilin, once he ascended to the throne, had intended to treat his younger brother relatively leniently.

He thought about banishing him abroad and never letting him set foot on this land again. In another country, they would ruthlessly behead a prince, but this was already a very lenient treatment.

However, his mind had changed. Both his younger brother and Cinderella, who was praised as a saint in the world, and the fairy next to her would never be seen or heard from in Renneola’s eyes and ears. Cahilin vowed.

Dash Nevertheless, Cahilin, muttering that he didn’t know which was more annoying, watched Reneolla’s back as she left through the side door.

‘She surely has some weakness.’

Cahilin narrowed his eyes. Reneolla must have known that she was being harassed by her.

If she didn’t know or ask for any help standing opposite to her, it meant that she had some weakness exposed. Cahilin was very curious about what that weakness was.

However, the woman who didn’t recognize any hint even if she showed her liking so blatantly seemed to have no intention of telling him. That made him annoyed.

It seemed frustrating for Reneolla to not be able to detect her feelings, and the distance she kept from him was because of that weakness. Cahilin wondered what the weakness was that made her decide to be so distant.

Therefore, he deliberately created a situation where the two could meet, and finally, he could find out the weakness she had hidden so carefully.
However, if he had known in advance that it would threaten Reneolla’s life, he would never have done it. He didn’t expect that she would be holding her lifeline, shaking it in her hands.

Cahilin, who held Reneolla’s hand lying on the bed, muttered curses under his breath.

As he rushed to the Second Prince’s palace upon hearing Reneolla’s painful moans, he thought his heart would drop when he saw her pale face, now covered in ashes.

It was almost his careless actions that…

Cahilin corrected Reneolla’s hand.

To ensure that she never hears or sees anything again? No, he was determined to make her feel the pain that Reneolla couldn’t even scream.
