At the sound of the office door opening noisily, Joseph—no, Lea—turned her head from the documents she was reviewing. And she met the red eyes staring at her. "......" Lea looked at him with surprised eyes. The emotion dwelling in the Duke's red eyes was far too foreign. His gaze, which had seemed like it would never waver, was shaking violently with indescribable anticipation and anxiety. "Your Grace?" At her call, the Duke's eyes, which had been steadily watching her, slowly regained…-

Abel gazed indifferently at the night scenery flowing past from inside the carriage. By now, Lea would have returned and noticed his disappearance. The unfamiliar man who had come to the house in the afternoon told him that Joseph had sent him. He said a major problem had occurred with Joseph and he wasn't in a condition to move, so he had sent him to bring Abel back. Well, to be precise, it was Bel, not Abel. Humans were certainly lenient toward and tended to underestimate young and powerless beings.…

With Abel's help, as Lea moved through space, an unfamiliar room and the figures of two people came into her view all at once. There was Abel, still in the form of a young girl, and a beautiful woman with hair like spun gold and marine blue eyes. Lea recognized that the woman standing beside Abel was Rien, Duke Kaien's wife and her own mother, and her beautiful brow furrowed slightly. She was flustered, having not thought about what to say or how to act when she met her mother. She had come right…

"...I'm exhausted..." As soon as she returned home, Lea collapsed onto the sofa. She hadn't realized emotional exhaustion could be this draining... Lea felt her creaking heart gradually settle as Abel sat by her side and gently stroked her hair. The plan she had devised was executed flawlessly without error. She started the fire to make it appear as though it had begun on the second-floor stairs, and Abel used magic to spread the flames, burning everything completely. Even if there had been people…

"......" Ken and Helen, who had been sitting on the sofa waiting for Lea, turned their gazes to the uniformed handsome man standing beside them. Was his name Ian? After Lea disappeared, he stood there with his arms crossed and eyes closed, not moving even slightly. The atmosphere suggested he would remain like that for a lifetime if she didn't return, so the two prayed for Lea to come back quickly. And surprisingly, their wish was granted. Ian's eyes, which seemed like they would never open, slowly…

'There it is.' Lea moved silently in that direction, and Ian followed behind her. However, as she approached the side of the hardware store, she furrowed her beautiful brow slightly. 'That's strange... I don't see a door?' She had clearly seen the man emerge with her own two eyes, but where the man had come out, there was only a wall—no door was visible. Despite the puzzling situation, she calmly examined the wall. After a moment, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly. There was a door. It…

"...Is something wrong?" Seeing her standing there in a daze, Duke Kaien approached her with concern and asked worriedly. Coming to her senses at his appearance, Lea smiled slightly and answered. "...No. It's nothing... Fa...ther..." Though it came out awkwardly, the moment the word "father" left her lips, Duke Kaien's body stiffened and his eyes wavered intensely with emotion. In truth, after learning she was his daughter, he had wanted her to call him father, but burdened by guilt for failing to…

At the word "mission," Hugo quickly knelt on one knee and bowed his head. However, his mind was still in turmoil. To think the Duchess and the young lady weren't in their hands... Could it be...? Hugo hastily erased the worst-case scenario that had crossed his mind. If that were the case, His Grace couldn't possibly be this calm. 'Please let them be safe.' He sincerely prayed for the Duchess and the young lady's safety as he focused on the Duke's voice. "From this moment on, ensure not even an ant…

"This is pretty good. Doesn't look like it'll break easily either. More importantly, using someone like you as an opponent would be an insult to my sword." Though she was merely lifting the cane and lightly tapping it against her palm, Abram felt an inexplicable terror and hastily shouted. "Fibien! Where are you, Fibien!" He had naturally assumed Fibien would be standing outside the office door, but not only did he not enter, there was no sound of a response either. Only then did Abram realize…

"My lady! Sir Hugo is coming up to the second floor with the knight order right now!" At the urgent cry of the maid who rushed in, Michelle's face, which had been staring fixedly at the magic communication device, twisted severely. "You gave me a defective product telling me to use it in emergencies?!" In the end, the magic communication device fell to the floor and shattered into pieces at the hands of the enraged Michelle. Huffing and puffing, she paced back and forth in the room, anxiously…
