Lenisha felt that she would not be satisfied until she saw and confirmed with her own eyes.

She stood on the floor with her trembling legs.

She took a deep breath and wiped her tears.

“Are you okay?”

At Casius’s question, Lenisha nodded.

Casius lent an arm that could support Lenisha.

Casius and Lenisha walked slowly.

Meteo stood in front of them.

Meteo glanced at Casius.

There must have been a reason why Casius’s eyes, looking at Meteo, had turned cold.

Meteo chuckled.

‘Are you jealous of me?’

Why.

Lenisha belongs to Casius, not Meteo.

It couldn’t have been anything but useless jealousy.

Meteo clicked his tongue slightly and turned his head slightly.

“I have kept it a secret from everyone because there might be the emperor’s spies in the castle. And I told only the mayor of Lindei, and I got his help.”

“That was the right measure.”

The mind is busy, but the body does not follow.

Lenisha walked stubbornly, even staggering.

Casius held Lenisha firmly.

The relief was that Casius had the right to stand here now.

Casius and Meteo’s gazes collided several times.

A strong spark flew between the two people.

“Here it is.”

Meteo carefully knocked on the door.

There was no word coming from inside.

Instead, Meteo opened his mouth.

“The prince of Shamdil will soon return to the royal city.”

“There lives the beautiful youngest princess.”

A small voice answered from inside.

Then the door opened.

Lenisha held her breath and stared at everything.

Even the opening of the door felt slow.

It seemed as if the air and temperature here, even the dust in the air, had stopped.

“Brixton……!”

Lenisha cried out.

“Lenisha!”

Brixton also raised his voice.

It was true. Brixton and Haylin were alive.

The guilt that had been weighing down on Lenisha seemed to scatter.

“Alive…… you were alive.”

“Yes. We were alive, Lenisha.”

Brixton spoke with a choked voice and spread his arms.

“Let’s hug once, my sister. How did you get so thin?”

Lenisha buried her head in his embrace.

From behind, it seemed like Haylin was sobbing, given the sound.

Lenisha could not hold back her tears and gasped.
As if melting the sorrow that had pooled in his heart.

“I, I might have… killed two people……”

“You’re still the same, Lenisha.”

Except for Brixton, this was the first time anyone here had seen Lenisha like this.

Brixton brushed off Lenisha’s back.

“Thank you for coming back, and thank you for being alive.”

“……I should be the one thanking you for not forgetting me and coming to find me, Lenisha. But Isabella couldn’t come with me. That child is…….”

“I, I’m taking care of her.”

“……What?”

“I have the child with me, Brixton.”

Now it was Brixton’s and Hailin’s turn to be surprised.

Hailin pushed Brixton aside and darted to the door.

“What did you just say, Lenisha?”

“I said I have Isabella, that child.”

Hailin collapsed like a doll with its string cut, in the next instant.

An untimely commotion erupted in the mansion.

(This is a time separator.)

Henry sighed and glanced at the maid clinging to him.

Clearly, Lenisha had ordered the maid who was blatantly following Henry.

Though he knew the reason Lenisha didn’t trust him, it was still upsetting to see this.

“I can go take care of my business now.”

“I’m the business you need to attend to.”

The maid seemed impenetrable.

Eventually, Henry gave up chasing her away and focused on his task.

‘The expenses are too high. I need to find a productive method quickly.’

Henry continued his work under the watchful eye of the thornlike maid.

‘Guests are coming today. Thankfully, there’s still room for them to stay.’

And depending on the guests’ stay, the expenses would continue to increase.

Henry sighed heavily and pressed his forehead.

The overall budget was a matter for Lenisha and Casius to decide, but using the budget given to him was Henry’s part.

And taking care of the servants who looked after the castle’s business was also his responsibility.

‘The domain needs to start something productive to increase the family’s assets.’

From what Henry could see, Hiloshain seemed to be in motion now.

The problem was what it was moving towards.

Lenisha’s will would surely be reflected there.

He was troubled by what to tell the Emperor.

The news that Lexus should be most excited about was about Isabella but…….

‘What sin does the child have?’

Besides, they had already promised to be discreet about Hiloshain and Isabella.

And it was not easy to do anything under the watchful eyes of that maid who was monitoring Henry.

‘How did I end up in this situation?’

Henry frowned slightly. His discontent was inevitable.
