A moment ago, Madeline was in severe pain.
It was also because Eric, whom she loved,
He wrapped his hand around that crow and acted indifferent towards her.
To make matters worse, even the Empress got angry at her and started a fuss.
When Madeleine asked what that meant, the Empress shouted angrily.
Of course, she visited Cornelia often and talked to her often;
But that was to make fun of her, not to chat...
Embarrassed, Madeleine hastily denied it.
However, the Empress was already blinded by her love for her son.
When she was expelled from the Empress's palace,
Madeline shed tears because she was so sad.
'What the hell did that woman say?'
She didn't know how she found out about the prince's incident, but one thing was certain: Cornelia decided to blame her.
'Do you think I'll stay still...?'
If Cornelia had the Empress, Madeleine had Madame Brant.
‘I will go to Duke Brant’s house immediately and repay you in the same way…’
She said to the servant who followed her: “Tell the driver to bring the carriage, come on!”
Then I heard a familiar man's voice.
“Miss Arjen, are you going home already?”
She was angry, but when she heard this illogical question,
Madeline stared at the culprit with angry eyes.
But her expression quickly softened and she smiled involuntarily when she saw his face.
“Eric, you came to see me now, right?”
Then he confirmed by saying he had something to say.
Only then did I feel relieved and the miserable feeling started to fade away.
‘As expected, the person you fell in love with is me....’
I complained about his attitude, and the words that followed were beyond my expectations.
“I don’t consider her my wife, it’s just because of people’s eyes.”
The moment she heard the confirmation that he did not love Cornelia, Madeleine was so happy that she seemed as if she would burst with laughter.
'No, it's not time to give up my anger yet..'
Madeleine decided to complain one last time to get revenge on him for treating her coldly.
“Then why are you angry with me?
Do you know how upset I am?”
Then he slowly lowered his head.
Madeline involuntarily closed her eyes at the sight of him approaching as if they were going to kiss.
Soon his voice reached my ears.
“That's because you were just an intruder, Madeleine Argen.”
Madeleine opened her eyes at the unbelievable words that came into her ears.
Before she knew it, he had pulled away and was staring at her with a cold gaze, as if he were looking at something inanimate.
Madeline's pride hurt and at the same time she felt a tingling sensation.
“This is so unfair!
What the hell did you do?!!!!”
“You entered my house without my permission and broke into my office, and you continued to come to me and interfere in my work.”
“That's why!
There's a change in our contract, so we wanted to let you know, and the reason I visit you so often is because of the contract!”
At that moment, Eric's eyes changed brightly.
“Yes, I will not sign this contract.”
It was something I didn't expect to hear here...
Madeleine put on a stunned expression when she heard that...
“You said you wouldn't sign the contract...?”
At first, I was confused, but when I thought about it, I was disgusted.
Because of her own efforts, the contract would have been valid.
'I begged my father to treat him this way, but he didn't know that grace and refused!'
With a displeased face, she said questioningly.
"Why?
It's a favorable contract for you!"
“Yes, as you said, it is a really favorable situation for me.
If that had happened, I would have benefited a lot.”
In the end, Eric continued with a seductive smile.
“And I know it's because of you.”
Madeline, who was looking at Eric, felt her heart skip a beat.
The perfect, sculpted face, this alone increases energy, but the masculine thick lines, broad shoulders and thick chest enhance his masculine charm to the fullest.
However, because of his words coming out soon after, her heart began to beat downward with a thud.
“But it is annoying that this becomes an excuse for you to act as you please, Madeleine Argen.”
His face was full of distress, it was clear that he was angry and annoyed with her.
'Well, before, Eric didn't like trying to control him.'
When I realized, I tried to talk to Eric again.
“Eric, from now on...”
However, Eric mercilessly interrupts her.
“This is the last warning, do not cross the limits.”
As her hamstrings tingled in those bloody eyes, Madeline unconsciously collapsed.
Soon she started crying from sadness.
“You, how could you do this to me?!”
Soon, she cried hard, but Eric firmly turned his back as if she was no longer worth dealing with..
Madeleine called him impatiently.
“Eric!”
Then his steps stopped.
'Is it possible that he is trying to apologize to me?'
I'm sure he will.
To be honest, unless he was an idiot, there was no way to cancel a contract with such good terms.
Madeleine looked at him anxiously with this hope.
However, after a moment, after hearing Eric's words, Madeline stiffened her expression.
“And now that the contract is up, you won't come to my house.”
The sight of him not looking back made me feel sick.
Madeline quickly raised her voice.
“I, I will never let you go!
I will definitely make you regret it!”
It put a satisfied smile on Eric's face when he heard that evil voice.
'This way, you won't bother Cornelia for a while.'
The only worry was that she found out about Cornelia's pregnancy...
Thanks to keeping her mouth closed so it wouldn't get into Mrs.
Brant's ears, it was quiet so far, but he wasn't sure what would happen if she did that.
'But that woman won't tell my mother, right?'
Remembering the day Madeline was silenced, Eric put on a crooked smile.
Then I think my mother's heart might turn against Cornelia...
This was evidence that his mother, who was in constant contact with Madeleine, did not know of Cornelia's pregnancy.
For a moment, the corner of Eric's mouth dropped.
Cornelia will hate him.
He instantly felt his heart grow…
It was because Cornelia heard what he just said to attract Madeline's attention to him.
But even if I was hated, he couldn't do anything.
Thanks for saying that, Madeline will hate him now, not her.
And in fact, his words were only half sincere because he was never her husband.
'It's been a while since you left, so you might have gone home first.'
Eric tried to retrace his steps to where Cornelia was, just in case.
At that time, Eric found someone and his face hardened.
'This...'
Eric looked at him, in front of him was a person with shiny platinum hair, and clenched his fists tightly.
'If he and Cornelia faced each other'
Eric felt impatient, and hurriedly left.
I was ordered to leave for the ducal headquarters, but the knights and the driver only looked at me with puzzled eyes.
It was Chester, the leader of Brant's knights, who opened his mouth after watching.
“I thought you were going back with the Duke...
Why did you come back alone...?”
I got on the cart because I didn't want to react to what happened a moment ago.
Then Chester spoke again.
“You must have said that my master came to the imperial palace, right?
But how…”
“Can't you see that I came alone?
How could you not notice?”
Chester's expression also deteriorated at my cold tone.
But I didn't care.
“Let's go.”
Then Chester gritted his teeth and stared at me...
“I'm sorry, but if my master is here, then I…”
He was hesitant because of my attitude, but he continued talking and I laughed.
'It seems like I won't be able to move if I'm alone..'
I was the only one who got on this wagon in the first place, and Eric wasn't going to come alone either.
Even if I don't wait for Eric, he can return to the palace on his own.
'The fact that they still can't move means that they're ignoring me too much…'
It wasn't a day or two, but there was nothing to be angry about.
I got up and got out of the cart.
“Yes I know what you mean, if so, I will take care of myself.”
“What do you mean by that?
I don’t mean that...”
“No, didn’t Master say that he couldn’t move the cart?
Therefore, I have no choice but to go alone.”
Lord Chester gave me a puzzled look, then stopped me.
“I made a mistake, calm down and get into the car.”
At first glance, it seems to me to be the case, but the purpose for which they did this was clear.
Maybe because he wanted to avoid reprimanding Eric, who threatened to protect me in the morning...
“No, that's not necessary, so go back with your master..”
“But...!”
As much as Chester insisted, I had no intention of getting back with them now.
“Even if it is exhausting, I will ask my father to take the imperial carriage.”
When I was about to head to the Imperial Palace, I found a familiar face and stood still…
"Wow, who is this?
Are you the crow?"
