If they thought of her as usual, they might know that it would be very strange for their master to show such a weak appearance, but the panicked servant protected their master because Cain was expressing his anger over it.

“... Why, why are you angry?... I’m not sure why you’re angry! Mielle spent a night with Oscar and came back. Besides, I went with my mother’s permission...”

No, Aria knew it very well, but deliberately said it for the servants who did not know it yet. Maybe they were guessing it little by little that their master Cain was abnormally obsessed with her stepsister.

Cain, who rose from his ground, shouted with madness, and the servants hurried around her, making a wall of men.

“Don’t you know that? How dare you! How dare you!”

‘Leave me? Betray me? Not to choose me? Not to love me?’ Those were the only words that would be followed. So, the servants, who had guessed it, turned pale.

“Mr, Mr. Cain, you must calm down!”

“Shut up!”

Slap! The servant who stood in front tried to calm Cain, but he got slapped in the face and fell down.

‘Is he really crazy to slap his face?’ Aria, who pretended to be frightened at the situation that was going to get worse, cried, and the anger began to spread in the expressions of the servants who surrounded her. It was understandable to have a heart, but it was impossible for anyone to understand and overcome this disturbance.

“Mr. Cain, please calm down!”

“Miss Aria is still young, so please forgive her with your generosity!”

“I, I’ll tell her what she did wrong, and please remit your anger.”

“Forgive the poor Miss Aria!”

Although there was the fallen servant who was slapped on his cheek, a number of servants surrounded Aria and begged for him to remit his anger, rather than panic.

But it only produced Cain’s further anger, and when he raised his hand again and slapped the cheeks of some servants, and when she thought she should stop playing because she had sufficiently seen him go mad in despair, a voice rang in the hall, which unexpectedly blocked him.

“What is this?”

It was the Countess, and she was awakened by the constant disturbance, and appeared slowly, yawning. Then, shocked by the horror in the hallway, which had happened in front of Aria’s room, she raised her voice.

“Aria...!”

The Countess took a step forward and made sure of the devastation, and Aria was crying with tears in her eyes. When she had been a prostitute, Aria had not cried when she had not returned home for a few days and left her alone in a house where there was nothing to eat, but why was she wearing a face stained with tears?

The Countess could not assume in shock that Aria was acting, and she was speechless, and Cain asked her, breaking the silence.

“Mother... did you know that?”

The Countess asked back, with a serious look, to the desperate face and voice of Cain that Aria had so desired. “What?”

“Aria... Aria... spent a night with the Crown Prince!”

The Countess furrowed her forehead at the question that had already become a fact for him, and she looked as if he were making this fuss with such a trivial thing. And for such a trivial reason, she thought that Aria might be acting, and she gave a hollow smile.

“Why do you ask me that?... No, even if she did, what was wrong with her?”

“... Aria, Aria is a minor!”

“What’s the matter with you? She is going to marry the Crown Prince. I said as her mother it was OK, and why do you make this fuss? You are not even in a bloody relationship. You should worry about Mielle at that time.”

There was nothing more to be gained from the Count family, and besides, if the treason was convinced, she was supposed to divorce the Count, so she could speak more coldly. She was no longer afraid of people and didn’t care. Now she had enough money to live without such a thing.

Cain’s face hardened in response to the cold answer. And he poured out his heart to the Countess, who spoke the same words like Aria.

The Countess no longer cared or feared, for they had enough money to live without it. Cain’s face stiffened in the cold reply, and Cain poured his heart into the Countess who spoke the same words as Aria.

“... ha, I suppose the vulgar origin is the problem. It’s like mother, like daughter.”

Slap! The Countess, who no longer needed to tolerate it, slapped Cain on the cheek, and, unlike Cain’s beating, everyone took it for granted and looked angrily at him.

“You don’t know anything! Don’t think you’ll be in a position to say that forever, because you’ll be worse than that vulgar origin!”

The Countess cried out, rarely, and the words were full of hidden meaning to the ignorant Cain. No, it was no use to realize it now.

Nevertheless, Cain, who had laughed in surprise, stared at the Countess as if he would kill her, and ordered the servants as he did not want to associate with her anymore. “Lock Aria in her room, so she won’t be able to walk around with any more vulgarities. If she resists, you can tie her hands and feet, and I hope the Countess will leave the house. I am the master of the house now.”

“...”

None of the servants, however, followed Cain’s instructions. It was the result of the benefits Aria had given them in the meanwhile; of course, it was a natural choice, even if not.

No matter how stupid they were, no one would follow the Count family, which had been rumored to give all the wealth to the soldiers and to be going to be ruined by the inexperienced Cain’s work. Rather, there would be much more to get in the future, if they took the side of Aria, the star of the empire, who would be the Crown Princess.

“What are you doing?! Tie her up quickly!”

Cain shouted again, but the servants dared to express their hostility to Cain, surrounding the Countess and Aria without listening to him.

“How dare you...”

It was when Cain raised his hand again. Arriving at the mansion after the disturbance, knights in white uniforms came up the stairs at a quick pace. The royal seal embroidered on their chests proved that they were the Royal Knights.

The knights frowned, scanning the frightened Aria, the angry Countess, and the servants. In the meantime, a knight with numerous badges on his chest pulled a document from his arms and asked Cain, “Are you Roscent Cain, right?”

“... yes.”

The anger and ferocity had disappeared from Cain’s face in no time as he answered. He was anxious, for the royal knights who had visited the mansion, not long after the soldiers had left to attack the Imperial Castle. And Cain’s predictions were right, and the knight informed him of the start of the punishment.

“I’ll arrest you for your involvement in treason.”

“...!”

As soon as the words were over, the knights quickly moved and held Cain’s body without giving any moment to refute so that he could not move. They tied Cain’s arm with the rope they had prepared, and they also tied his feet, except for the distance he could walk, as Cain had tried to do with Aria.

“Yaaah!”

Cain screamed painfully, perhaps because his hands were tightly tied. However, a knight, who had no concern with it, pushed his back with a rough hand, and said, “You have submitted your own evidence of treason, and you have hidden soldiers in the house and supported all the expenses, so you can have a lawyer, but it won’t help. If you don’t want to show such a bad thing to your servants and your family, please follow quietly.”

No, there was a guess. Yesterday, he had submitted all the specifications for the soldiers’ food, clothing, and shelter. Obviously, he had given it to the noble of Croa, not the Royal Knights...? When he reached this point, he came to the conclusion that he didn’t want to believe, and his face grew pale.

“What the hell is this...?”

“Treason...?”

“Mr. Cain has joined the treason?”

“What nonsense!”

After Cain was taken arrested, the remaining servants in the corridor began to whisper, saying they could not believe it.

“I should have stopped him when His Highness said he was investigating...”

She wiped her wet eyes and opened her mouth as if she knew something, and all the attention was gathered to her because she knew the answer to this ridiculous situation.
