Strangely, Simon had a high intimacy with Abella, who had just seen him.
She didn’t know if it was caused by Carlo or if it really was due to his favor for Abella. However, no matter how much Mrs. Amerigo blocked Simon, she couldn’t stop him from heading to Abella.
Additionally, Cade, who insisted that he would come at will, had not arrived.
Cade, who became emperor, seemed to be a lot busier than his princely days. Although, this was fortunate for Abella.
“Auntieeeeeee!”
Simon ran towards Abella and dangled on her leg. He stuck to her like a cicada, with such a perfectly smiling face. His face unmistakably resembled Carlo from his childhood.
Abella hesitated, then reached out her hand.
Mrs. Amerigo stood in front of Abella, who tightly returned Simon’s embrace.
“Oh my God… The child follows Lady Abella well.”
“Rumors say that Lady Abella chose Simon as her successor.”
“Hmm? No way. If that happens, even if Lady Abella gives birth to a child…….”
“Shh. She’s looking.”
The gaze of Mrs. Amerigo glanced through the crowd.
The interest in Abella seemed to be shifting to Simon. Although it was unpleasant, it did not seem to form a negative public opinion, so she had to leave it alone.
“Auntie, you know what.”
Simon whispered into Abella’s ear.
“Simon has something for my aunt.”
The white cheeks turn red.
Abella stared as if possessed.
Someday. Some time, a long time ago.
Carlo spoke with that look on his face.
‘Carlo has something for my sister…!’
What he held in his little palm was a sweet candy. He had left what he wanted to eat as a child and waited for Abella to come back.
The things given to Carlo were never given to Abella.
Clear discrimination was given to children born on Skellus’ Day.
Abella didn’t really enjoy anything about Amerigo.
“Carlo……..”
“It’s from Dad!”
Simon spoke firmly and opened his palm. In his little hand was Abella’s favorite round candy. Sweet and sour strawberry candy.
It was a food made by lumping small chopped strawberries into a circle and applying sugar water over its surface. Previously, Carlo had also waited for Abella to give this.
Ever since then, it has become Abella’s favorite candy.
Abella rubbed her lips and grabbed the candy.
It tasted the same as in the past.
“Thank you, Simon.”
“Hi-Hi. Auntie likes this!”
“Right. How did you know?”
“Simon knows everything!”
Abella’s insignificant conversation with Simon became precious. For Abella, Simon was sunshine, happiness, and memory at the same time.
Abella rolled the candy in her mouth.
Like Enoch.
Now that she thought about it.
As Abella picked up Simon, she looked for Enosh.
All kinds of people crowded around Enosh, who had excellent sociability. He seemed to attract people’s interest by talking about Vincent. Enosh and her eyes met.
Wink–
With a wink, Enosh smiled at her.
‘……I hope you have a good dream.’
Why did she remember that now?
Abella’s cheeks blushed, and she turned her head around. It seemed that her body was staggering.
“Abella!”
The startled Arsene supported her.
“Should I hold Simon?”
“No! I don’t want you!”
Simon shook his head and buried his head in Abella’s arms. It was when Abella and Arsene’s eyes met in confusion.
“His Majesty is coming!”
An exasperated voice echoed through the hall.
Cade always had impeccable timing.
On the other day, when Count Gilmus came to her, and this time again, he saved Abella from this embarrassment. Thanks to this, there was no need to make excuses for Simon for rejecting Arsene.
In fact, it was quite embarrassing for Abella to explain what she didn’t know.
With his lips puffed, Simon pulled Abella’s hem. Abella struggled to hold Simon up.

“Hurry up!”
Cade wanted to strangle Burke, who insisted that he must ride a carriage. No, he already did.
Burke was worn out like a fallen leaf on the floor and had his head stuck against the carriage wall.
“…… Even if you do not hurry, Lady Abella will not disappear.”
“You don’t know that.”
Cade cut it. He was so confident that he could miss Abella.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
He no longer wanted to miss Abella.
“No matter how much you look at it, you won’t be able to ride the horse while with a cold!”
Burke insisted. In fact, everyone held back Cade’s outing today, but they couldn’t break his stubbornness. Cade decided to see Abella with his body, suffering from a fever.
A devoted love indeed.
Burke clicked his tongue.
