"How, Princess?"

Adar, Estia's trained knight comes through a wide-open window in Estia's room. As usual, there was only one lit candle as well as several bottles of alcoholic beverages rolling indistinctly after being gulped down by Estia.

"Kill the woman's family, everyone."

A sharp curvature was painted on Estia's horrifying face, while shaking the legged cup, Estia touched the heart that she said was weak. Weak what? It was just an excuse for everyone to pay more attention and love him.

"Gtt ... He thinks I'm compassionate, huh? Though Uncle had seen how I chased away some of the women who approached him." Estia laughed softly and then danced.

Adar stared at Estia for quite a while before finally leaving from there, completing the task given.

...***...

Lail was amazed after the new building that was purchased to be the main building to start a business could already be used.

Aided by Naika these last few, Lail managed to make some perfumes that were ready to be published as an experiment. Of course Lail, will start in the area of the nobles with the help of Tirsia and Gaia. Unexpectedly, the two women were even more interested and almost bought everything, they said they had to get all of it before telling the nobles, even so, Lail took part by taking advantage of the meeting at the tea party and began to introduce her products.

The women loved it and Lail was so happy and started recruiting some workers besides that for now Lail was undoing the intention to invest in stocks and focus on her business.

Today Lail has just returned from a glass bottle artisan building, Lail is teaming up with a middle-aged glass bottle artisan to create a gorgeous packaging for her perfume.

In addition, thanks to Gaiden Lail can cultivate several types of flowers that are the raw materials for making perfume. Lail did not need to scrape away the money and gold he had stockpiled to buy large tracts of land for cultivation of his flowers because Gaiden suddenly gave him a large tract of land in a rural area that had a structure of fertile soil.

Lail reached the Castle as the evening progressed and Gaiden had not yet returned from Raitle. However, at night around eight, the door creaked slowly and Lail awoke to find Gaiden returning with a rancid scent.

No!

Gaiden closed his eyes for a moment when the lights were turned on by Lail.

"What's going on?" Lail asked while cupping Gaiden's face which was littered with several blood splashes.

Gaiden was silent for a long time and hugged Lail so tightly. Lail blinked in spite of trying to calm Gaiden while returning a hug and gently rubbing her husband's back.

"What's going on?" Lail asked as Gaiden looked calm.

"I'm so angry now. If you don't, maybe I'll run amok to the palace" Gaiden said.

Lail didn't really understand but there must be something big that offended Gaiden, but this bloodstain? What happened to Raitle? Lail thought hard.

"Look, your clothes got dirty too. Then we should be independent together" Gaiden said, then carrying Lail's body and taking her to the bathroom.

Lail grunting. "You took a chance, yeah."

Gaiden laughed briefly and took off Lail's blood-stained clothes and brought Lail into the tub that had been filled with water.

Lail sat in the tub, watching Gaiden take off his clothes and asked, "Who's blood is it?"

"There's a wounded horse and I've just finished treating it" Gaiden licked and joined Lail in the tub.

Lail narrowed in full investigation and Gaiden just remained silent with a grim look, staring at the water waves. Lail grunting.

...***...

The next day, Lail secretly has Daval investigate what happened in Raitle while Lail sets out for the glass craftsman to see the bottle of his order. However, once again, Gaiden behaved strangely by avoiding him when last night was not like this.

"I want to go to the palace."

"Go back early" said Lail, then wavering as Gaiden stared fixedly at Lail's back, which was missing from view.

...***...

Gaiden meets Carl while dragging the battered Adar in front of them.

Gaiden's neckline appears as his eyebrows swoop down even now that Estia and her mother are there. Estia squeezes the end of the dress to see Adar is captured while Camellia does not expect that Estia can do this cruel thing.

"I want Estia to get the right reward! Because, Duke Raitle must be hurt with his wife and I have not dared to tell my wife. I want to finish it now!" Gaiden snapped, his voice echoing in the space with a conical vaulted ceiling towering overhead.

Camellia approached trying to calm Gaiden down. "I knew Estia was wrong, but give her a chance to change."

Gaiden stared fiercely at Camellia. "He almost killed my wife's family and I have to give him forgiveness?"

"At least this is the last one! Did you forget that my husband sacrificed his life just to save you on the battlefield?!"

"Sister-in-law!" hardik Carl's.

Camellia was instantly silent while Estia cried and hugged Gaiden tightly, begging for forgiveness and promising never to do it again.

Gaiden encourages Estia to release the bully then glances at Adar who has lost one hand.

"Give this man to you, brother." Gaiden then kicked Adar in the stomach.

"Uncle!" Estia screamed as Gaiden was about to leave.

"I don't want to hear that before you change Estia!" After saying so Gaiden left while Estia continued to cry.

"Do another mistake Estia and Gaiden will never forgive you. It was the final pardon as a form of his own return to your father." Carl explains then calls the soldiers to take Adar to prison.

...***...

The night continued to creep, coldly piercing the skin of Lail who was wearing a thin dress wrapped in wide mafela attached to the back, bandaging it so as not to twinkle.

Lail stood at the door of the room, in a quiet hallway lit only by dim wall lights. Anger hung over Lail's face and as the sound of footsteps approached, Lail's tail flashed to greet the person.

"Just back, yeah," said Lail.

Gaiden's eyes cut off eye contact with Lail as he approached. "Sorry."

"For what?" ask Lail.

"Because it's too late to go home."

"That's all?" ask Lail again.

Gaiden nodded. "Yes." Yeah."

"What happened in Raitle? My mom and dad got minor injuries, did that have anything to do with you last night?" ask Lail.
