startled.

Everyone then turned their heads towards the sound.

The Count’s main gate squeaked and fell to the floor with a thud.

The front black grate was bent and twisted.

And a man stepped over the debris and entered.

“The, the, the front gate…!”

The butler was startled and stuttered.

It was the same with Rubisella.

The pole also fell to the ground without a hitch.

Slowly, the tall man stepped across the garden ignoring the stone path and trampled the lawn.

As if time had stopped, no one moved and stood still.

Sophia, who was still on the ground, slowly raised her head.

A soft coat draped over her trembling shoulders.

Crumpled, scratched and soiled pajamas were wrapped in a black coat.

It was a scent that she had smelled before.

“Huh… What…?”

Suddenly, Killian stood by her side.

Is it the power of clichés?

‘Since he was the male protagonist, did he come like a hero?’

Sophia thought, clutching the collar of the coat that covered her.

Killian looked at Sophia, who was trembling.

Her hair was torn and messed up, and there was a red mark on her particularly pale face.

The hem of her old pajama was torn from being dragged against the floor, and blood was oozing from a wound on her calf.

It was a miserable sight.

Killian bit his lip tightly.

He didn’t even realize it when Sophia told the Duchess of Chanelia about her discrimination and humiliation she had suffered.

Although there was sympathy, it was not so heartbreaking and painful for him.

He just thought it was a misfortune.

It may have passed as insignificant as a common tragedy that was like any other story.

But this crumbly existence in front of him felt different.

It wasn’t like sympathy that tightened his chest.
An indescribable displeasure overtook him.

And it turned to anger again.

“Sir Archduke Rivelon…! Why…”

Asked the Countess in a trembling voice.

Killian’s black shadow, standing in front of the front door, weighed heavily on the Countess.

“I really want to ask you.
Why did you slap my fiance in the face?”

A sentence that barely suppressed his anger spat out softly.

Rubisella’s gaze wandered here and there, looking for an answer.

“You are mistaken, sir.
This child is not enough to become your fiance…”

Then, the brightly shining red eyes became even cooler.

“I didn’t know Frauss’s family tradition would be so savage.”

“But, as her parent, sometimes teaching the child how to be human…”

“Madam, if you say that, I will be very troubled.”

Killian interrupted the Countess and clenched his fists.

“I wouldn’t slap you in the face, at least, because I don’t want to break the rules of humanity.”

A heavy, subdued voice whispered quietly in Rubisella’s ear.

In his heart, he wanted to repay Sophia for what this woman had done.

But since he was not an animal, he was trying to be polite as a human being.

Rubisella’s face became even whiter.

Soon, the gentle gaze shifted to the Frauss servants who stood behind the Countess.

“Sophia Frauss is my fiance.
But strangely, this family seems to have forgotten that fact.”

His voice was flowing slowly.

Killian glanced at the servants who were there.

Those who made eye contact with him shuddered and avoided his gaze.

“I don’t know if you were trying to ruin the relationship between me.”

“Oh, sir, we had no intention of quarreling with the Duke of Rivelon.”

The Countess’s red lips trembled.

“I just went too far to send a child who was not lacking to you…”

“Nobody…”

As Killian swallowed his anger at Rubisella’s excuse, he paused and continued.

“…Deserves to be treated like this, madam.”

To harm his person means to harm him.

Rubisella closed her mouth and nodded her head as if she understood.

“…It seems that my fiance is not in good health, so for the time being, I will take care of her at Rivelon.”

“Sir, but…”

“Because I never know when something like this will happen again.”

When Rubisella tried to stop him, Killian cut her off.

He turned his back on Rubisella and went to Sophia.

Sophia sat with her eyes out of focus, trembling like a lost person.

His uncontrollable, boiling rage cooled before her blank eyes, and a throbbing displeasure struck again.

She was barefoot on the stone floor in front of the front door.

Killian then held her in his arms.

Sophia did not resist.
No, it seemed that she had neither the strength nor the heart to resist.
