“I, I didn’t do anything…” Ugh, why are people always making a fuss about me… “

Tears of falling glass.
She didn’t even expect her cheek to fly, so she couldn’t even react.
‘More than that, Bluebell’s reaction… I think I found out the truth… ‘
Death of Baron Irten.
At first, my memory was vague, but I remembered it again while looking back at the academy.
The fact that the Justia family is behind his death.
‘The cause of death was poisoning. The reason is the growth of the Period family.’
When Baron Irten’s resourcefulness showed signs of rising from baron to marquis, Ivasten heard the news and dispatched an assassin to continuously poison the food.
As I remember, the reason was that it would harm the traditions of the empire.
Ibasten was also a person who feared change in the system more than anyone else.
‘But just because that’s the case.’
Bluebell’s act of hating not only Ibasten, the leader of the incident, but also the entire Justia family could not be justified.
I grabbed Bluebell’s arm as she tried to slap Yuri once more.
Tak!
“Stop it, Bluebell.”
“… Let go of this, Damian. Unless you are in the same company as that woman. “Let go of this hand right now.”
Bluebell got angry at me with her messy hair.
The eyes were full of venom, and judging by the atmosphere, he did not look normal.
I asked, pretending not to know without letting go of Bluebell’s arm.
“Why on earth are you doing this, Bluebell? “Why did you suddenly hit Yuri? What happened yesterday?”
“… I heard it all. The Justia family’s trashy behavior. When I think about it again, what I do with my father is exactly the same. “I heard you guys did that?”
Yuri answered Bluebell’s question by stroking her red cheeks.
“Well, what…” ? Me, I didn’t do anything… “
“Yeah, you didn’t do anything. But you know what? “Your family killed my father.”
“Well, what…” ?”
I finally found out the truth.
Yuri was surprised by Bluebell’s words and dropped her hands.
The handprint has long since disappeared.
Bluebell frowned at that sight and spat out her sharp words.
“Monsterous b*tch. You are not even human. How can you do something like that and still live a normal life in the North? It’s disgusting. “Just being in this world is disgusting!”
Bluebell’s words and actions became increasingly violent, and she continued to spit out her hatred towards Yuri.
Now that Ivasten, the person who caused her incident, was dead, her directionless hatred was directed towards Yuri.
I muttered, squeezing the arm of the bluebell I was holding slightly tightly.
“… Stop it, Bluebell. “You’re being too harsh.”
“Isn’t what those bastards did to me serious?”
“That’s… “Yuri didn’t do it.”
“To me, it’s all the same. This is what the Justia family did to the Period family. Damian, I have no intention of overlooking this matter, no matter how much it is you. I never… “I have no intention of forgiving those bastards.”
So let go of this hand right now.
Understand-!
Bluebell said that and tried to shake off my hand.
“… “I told you to let go, right?”
It was weak and could not be easily defeated.
Still, Bluebell nervously waved her arms and tried to shake off my hand.
The more I did that, the more I had to strengthen Bluebell’s arms…
‘If we keep doing this, Bluebell will get hurt.’
Tak-
I had no choice but to let go of Bluebell’s arm.
She brushed off her red-marked arm with her hand and glared at Yuri and said.
“I understand because of what your father did to our family. You just look like that person. The father and the daughter. “
“… “
“I’m leaving. I can’t stay in a place like this any longer. And you. I must unconditionally return what I received. I know. “I will hate you until the end.”
Tuk-
Bluebell slapped her glass on the shoulder and walked towards her path.
Yuri was in a daze. Her emotions seemed to rise, and tears fell from her eyes.
“I, I…” I didn’t do anything… “
“… “
They were tears of injustice.
There seemed to be an unbridgeable gap between the two.
And that too, a gap between them that seems unresolved.
‘… sh*t.’
Bluebells leaving far away.
Yuri is shedding tears before her eyes.
Who should I catch between the two?
I felt dizzy in the face of worries that had no right answer.
But, if you stay still, you might miss them both.
In the end.
“Huh… everyday… It’s just me… “
“Don’t cry, it’s not your fault.”
I carefully wiped away Yuri’s tears with my hands.
“D-Damian… Go, don’t go… “
“… I’ll be back for a bit. “Please wait for me, Yuri.”
I ran towards the bluebell leaving in the distance.
This is Bluebell’s last time, and Yuri chose her because he could continue to see her in the North.
***
As I quickly ran and caught up with Bluebell, she swore at me in her cold tone.
“Go away, Damien.”
It was a sharp answer like a well-sharpened sword.
I ran past Bluebell and looked at her face and said.
“… “I didn’t come to catch you.”
“Then why did you come? “If she was on that woman’s side, wouldn’t she have stuck to her like a stick of gum?”
“… “I just came because I had something to say.”
“I have nothing to say.”
Does he not want to talk to me and wants to be alone?
I heard a blunt answer from Bluebell.
However, I know Bluebell well.
That the words being pushed away are not the truth.
I came out, briefly blocked Bluebell’s path toward her carriage, swallowed her saliva, and said,
“It wasn’t Yuri’s fault that your father died. This is what Ibasten, the Grand Duke of the Justia family, did. I don’t think it’s Yuri’s fault… “
“I know. “There is a problem.”
But.
“What are you going to do with me? What should I do? Because Ibasten is dead. “Ah, should I just live my life forgetting and thinking, ‘My dad was poisoned!’”
“That’s… “
“You can’t just shut up and live. My father was poisoned and passed away after living a painful life. If the man died, wouldn’t he have to be punished on behalf of that family? “It doesn’t change the fact that my father died because of that family.”
This makes sense from Bluebell’s perspective.
However, it was difficult for her to say that what she said was right.
“… They’re saying it’s Yuri’s fault for staying still. So, did Yuri do something wrong? Yuri didn’t kill your father. I am… “I don’t think so, Bluebell.”
“… Damian. No matter how much you say no. My thoughts won’t change. Never.”
The directionless hatred must be released to Yuri in order to be resolved.
That’s what Bluebell was saying, and didn’t look like she was going to change her mind.
Like looking at a box that has already been tightly closed.
Bluebell seemed to have made up her mind.
“I have no intention of doing as those bastards who told me the truth said… I am… I’m going back to my territory. Damien, you take care of it. I kinda… Because I want to be alone. “Don’t ever think about catching it.”
“Still, think deeply about what I said.”
“… “Look.”
Bluebell answered and headed to her carriage, where she spoke to the driver who was resting on it.
“Hey, drive to our territory right away.”
“N-yes… !”
The coachman was embarrassed and immediately prepared to drive.
And then, Bluebell, who was on the carriage, looked at me through the window and waved his hand slightly.
A look full of regret and venom.
“… “
Just like that, Bluebell, who suddenly came, suddenly left.
The cold northern wind passed by my cheek.
“It’s cold.”
I felt like the chill of the North was taking over the direction of this relationship, where neither party was at fault and had no intention of giving in.
***
“Irnia and Isen.”
Did those two bastards cause a wedge between Bluebell and Yuri?
It would be better to send those two people to another territory or deal with them before leaving the North.
“When I heard that I was changing the North… “It must have been an act of rebellion.”
I ended up telling Bluebell the useless truth.
Even if we know that, Bluebell cannot respond because the person who caused the incident has already died.
Those two people were probably trying to arouse Bluebell’s hatred.
To stop the changes in the North.
“… sh*t. “We can’t let the change in the glass stop.”
Even in the original work, a war of nerves broke out between the villains, and the entire land between them was devastated.
No way, if something like that happens again…
“My territory between the east and the empire will be fine, but… “
The lands between the north and west will be stained with blood.
As in the original story, Bluebell and Yuri are executed by the crown prince.
“That must be prevented at all costs. Way… “It may be difficult, but we can keep the relationship from worsening until the end.”
You can do it.
I walked down the hallway with determined eyes.
The location is the glass room.
Standing in front of the door, I took a breath and carefully knocked on the door.
Knock knock-
“… “Is it in the glass?”
-Ugh… It’s in me…
When I heard the answer, I immediately opened the door and went inside.
That moment.
Kkwaak-
“I thought Damien was leaving me… I missed you, Damien… “
Yuri, who was waiting at the door, fell into my arms.
She asked, rubbing her face against my body.
“… “Has she gone?”
“Yes, I went. “She said she was going back to her territory.”
I patted Yuri’s head in response.
Yuri, still not in a good mood, called my name in a low voice.
“… “Damian.”
“Tell me, Yuri.”
“… Is it really my fault? “Is it really my fault that her dad died?”
I was able to confidently answer those words while stroking my head.
“No, it’s definitely not your fault.”
Yuri’s anxiety still hasn’t been resolved.
She asked again, her voice shaking.
“Well, then…” That I take after my father… Is it true… ?”
“That’s… “
It is not a question that can be easily answered.
It is true that it resembles Ibasten externally.
And, internally, Yuri also has one enemy who resembles Ibasten.
‘Violence.’
When things don’t work out.
And, when trying to solve a problem.
Yuri, like Ibasten, tries to solve the problem by using power.
I’m not sure whether to call it a genetically formed personality or an acquired personality…
“Of course not. “You don’t look like Ibasten, Yuri.”
“… Right? I want that person… They don’t look alike… ?”
She couldn’t tell the truth to Yuri, who had bad memories of Ivasten.
However, this time she was able to tell Yuri at least one word without a lie.
“… “It wasn’t your fault at all this time, Yuri.”
“Thank you for saying that, Damian… I wish Damian wasn’t there… Ugh… I don’t think anything I did would have worked… Oh, thank you Damian… Ugh… “
“… “
It’s just a story about the hatred that started from Ibasten and came down from above.
It is difficult to say that it is the fault of both Yuri and Bluebell.
It was just a story between two people who were inseparable like genes.

Sunny afternoon.
The sunlight rising from the east was drying the paint on the canvas.
And, watching the colors of the paints, the owner of the painting was smiling.
“It’s been so long since I haven’t seen you. “Just looking at the picture makes me smile.”

Now I will have to see it soon.
No, you must see it.
Nadia smiled delicately and turned her body.
She carefully left her art studio, locked her door tightly so that no one could see her own paintings, and walked towards her office.
At that moment, a maid who bowed her head came and spoke.
“So, the customer…” You are here… Go, matriarch… “
“Hmm, really? “I have a guest?”
“Yes, yes…” “
“Okay, I understand. “I don’t need any guidance, so just disappear from me right now.”
Nadia said and walked towards her reception room where her guests were waiting.
‘Who on earth came? ‘Did Damian come to see me?’
It was also a moment when I had a positive thought.
Nadia was absolutely sure that Damien was not the guest.
‘I was imprisoned. ‘You won’t necessarily come to me on your own.’
On the other hand, she feels regretful about her actions.
Still, at the moment she was imprisoned, she felt satisfied that she had Damian in her entirety.
Nadia didn’t regret hitting the ground, she thought.
‘By the way, who is my guest?’ ‘I will know when I see it with my own eyes.’
Just like that, Nadia walked and arrived at the reception room.
She opened the door lightly and entered the reception room.
She then saw the guests who had arrived.
“Hmm?”
She was a little taken aback by the unexpected guest.
Still, Nadia did not show her identity and sat in front of her guest.
“We’re not close, we’ve only seen each other in passing, so why did you come here?”
Nadia asked in a wary tone.
At those words, Nadia’s guest smiled confidently and said.
“I came because I wanted to suggest something. Would you like to hear it?”
“What on earth would a princess of a country want to suggest to me? “I’m not curious at all.”
“Still, listen.”
Pisik-
Princess Charlotte of Orcia spoke confidently.
“I won’t regret getting engaged.”
“Hmm, really?”
Nadia felt a little curious.
However, she could not hide her cold, stern expression.
“… It’s fun. Give it a try.”
You can decide what will happen after listening to her.
Even with an escort knight by her side, Nadia was as confident as Charlotte in her majestic expression.
