When the Main Protagonists Broke Up

As Aiden was nowhere to be seen, he was looking around, but the doorkeeper’s voice saying that the prince had arrived resonated loudly throughout the banquet hall.

“His Highness the Little Sun of Baltheus, the noble Prince Ediel Winston Baltheus, is born. Everyone, stand up and pay your respects to His Highness.”

Everyone inside bowed toward the door.

The prince entered the banquet hall, followed by Kane.

The prince gave a brief speech about the victory of the war and the celebration banquet.

I looked for Aiden as I listened roughly to his words.

‘Aren’t you here yet?’

Unless something happened at a banquet like today, there was no reason for him to leave.

With that thought in mind, I was worried that something had really happened to him.

After the prince’s short speech, when the sound of musical instruments started playing, I made a small talk to Clayton, who was next to me.

“I’m going to go to the bathroom in a minute.”

Then, he hurriedly left the banquet hall and headed for Aiden’s room.

As I walked almost at a run, I noticed a strange thing.

Not only today, but since he won the battle against Hagus, he hadn’t seen him all along.

Of course, it could also be that he couldn’t find me because I was tired and distracted.

However, if you look closely, he always came to me at times like this and asked me about my well-being first.

‘What’s really going on?’

Anxiety crept in, and I ran at full speed.

And as soon as he arrived in front of his room, he immediately knocked on the door.

Smart-.

“Aiden, are you in?”

There was no answer.

“Aiden? It’s me, Belita.”

Still no sound could be heard from inside.

“I’m coming in.”

I thought this was enough to let them know that I was here, so I opened the door and went inside.

The room was as dark as darkness.

“Are there none?”

If I had been in the room, I would have left the candlestick on, but only the moonlight coming in through the window was illuminating the room.

“Aiden?”

Just in case, I called his name again and looked around the room relying on the moonlight.

At that time, I saw a human figure near the bed.

It was dark, so I couldn’t see it well, but when I looked at the overall silhouette, Aiden seemed right.

But it was strange.

He wasn’t lying in bed, he was curled up on the floor.

“Aiden?”

I called his name and quickly walked towards the bed.

“Aiden!”

First of all, to get a closer look at his condition, I started a fire and lit a candlestick in the room.

Then, in an instant, the room became bright, and his condition came into view clearly.

“Aiden! What is this!”

As if he had already lost consciousness, no answer came from him.

I tried to lift him to put him on the bed.

But lifting him with my own strength was not enough.

Thinking I needed someone’s help, I quickly shook the rope on the bed.

After the bell rang, I heard someone gasp approaching from outside.

“Master, did you call?”

A man’s voice was heard outside.

“Come in quickly!”

In an urgent voice, I told the man to come in.

Then the man opened the door and entered the room.

The man’s face was familiar.

It was Aiden’s servant that he had seen in Peorat and Julita.

“…Princess Heitz?”

“Put Aiden to bed and call a doctor.”

“Yes? What- my lord!”

The man quickly came closer, perhaps recognizing that Aiden had passed out.

And at once I lifted him up and laid him carefully on the bed.

“I will call the doctor.”

I nodded.

After the man went out, I couldn’t stay still, so I came from the bathroom to wet a handkerchief.

He carefully wiped the cold sweat from his face.

Then I looked closely at him and saw that he wasn’t even wearing a tailcoat.

‘Since when the hell have you been sick?’

Thinking that he must have lost his mind after struggling like this all by himself, I burst into tears for a moment.

“The doctor has been brought!”

Then a middle-aged man entered the room.

I left the doctor.

The doctor came over to the bed and examined Aiden’s condition.

However, as I watched the scene, I suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, as if something like this had happened before.

It was in Yullita.

At that time, there was a difference that I had saved him before he lost consciousness, but this time I found him completely unconscious.

And I still don’t know why he fell.

While many thoughts were mixed, the doctor finished the examination and stood up.

“The trauma is invisible. It looks like he just passed out from some kind of shock.”

“With what kind of shock?”

“Yes, but no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find what the shock was caused by.”

It was like a doctor’s examination at that time.

Fainting due to some shock of unknown origin.

After the doctor left, I sat down on a chair next to the bed and stayed by his side.

“Hey, princess. Lord, I will be watching.”

“No. I will.”

“But…I know you’re having a banquet right now. Shouldn’t you go back?”

“Okay. But didn’t you know that Aiden had fallen?”

I turned around and looked at the man with fierce eyes and asked.

How can you not know that Aiden passed out while serving as your lord?

I couldn’t quite understand it.

“That’s it, my lord suddenly kicked me out when I was waiting on him after returning from battle. And he told me not to let anyone in until he was called, no matter what.”

“Didn’t I tell no one to come in?”

“Yeah, so I didn’t even know you fainted. Sorry. It is all my negligence.”

Suddenly kicked out and couldn’t come in?

“Has there ever been anything that seemed uncomfortable?” At my words, the man was deep in thought.

“Ah, before you kicked me out, you touched the area around my neck to see if my neck was uncomfortable.”

“You touched my neck?”

“Yes, I definitely remember. I thought it was because I was thirsty when I saw it, so I tried to bring you water.”

It was also true that the necklace had an effect on him.

“I get it. As for Aiden, I will watch over you, so you can go out.”

“…All right. Call me if you need anything.”

“Okay.”

Anyway, if I asked this man, there was nothing more to dig out.

Everything had to be heard through Aiden.

As I waited for him to wake up, I looked at his face and muttered in a low voice.

“Have we ever been like this before?”

Since he had lost his mind, there was no way he could answer, so I continued talking.

“When I saw you then, I thought it was the last time, but it’s really amazing.”

After breaking up with him in Yullita, I thought I would never see him again.

“I was sad to think that I would never see Aiden again, but did you too?”

Thinking he’d never hear it, the words inside burst out.

Never did it to him, and maybe never will….

I carefully touched his black hair.

“Get up soon. I don’t want to see you lying down in pain like this.” It was when I was talking to him as it came out from within.

The hand that stroked his hair trembled. It’s because it was gently caught in a big hand.

“Ahh!”

I was so startled that I screamed when the man I thought was lying unconscious grabbed my hand.

And at the same time, I got up from my chair and my legs were twisted.

However, the body that I thought would lose my balance and fall backwards was not on the floor, but was trapped in his arms.

It was because he pulled me too hard when he tried to pull me back.

“….”

“….”

Silence rose in the room.

When he woke up, his amethyst eyes and gaze intertwined.

“Woke up…?”

“Yes, it happened.”

“When…woke up?”

“….”

“Did you hear everything I said?”

“…I heard.”

“Ah….”

Embarrassed that he had heard everything I said, I lowered my head and saw his broad chest.

Then I realized that I was still in his arms.

I tried to move my body thinking that I should get away from him.

But he was hugging me so tightly that I couldn’t move.

“Oh, wait a minute….”

I tried to get out of his arms while talking, but he seemed unwilling to let me go.

“Aiden?”

I looked up at him with puzzled eyes.

I don’t know why, but his eyes looked so sad and lonely.

So I stopped moving away from him and asked him.

“What’s wrong…?”

“….”

He kept looking at me with his mouth shut.

“What the hell is going on….”

“….”

“Is it something you can’t tell me?”

“…I am, ugh!”

After a few questions, he finally opened his mouth.

But Aiden, who was about to say something to me, suddenly groaned as if he was in pain.

“Aiden? What’s wrong?”

As his arms gave out, I quickly slipped out of his arms.

Then, trying to calm her fright, she took a quick glance at his condition.

Then he saw Aiden touching his neck.

The necklace also seemed to start the pain.

“Aiden!”

Aiden’s face contorted mercilessly.

I approached him to help him and checked him, but his behavior was a little strange.

When I found Aiden two years ago, he struggled in an attitude of accepting the pain, but showed no sign of overcoming it.

But now something was different.

It was as if he was trying to overcome the pain, to escape it somehow.

“Get out, yo….”

He told me to leave with his teeth clenched to endure the pain.

“Yes?”

Stunned, I asked him back.

“Quick, ugh, let’s go….”

“What’s wrong? Leave all of a sudden!”

But he was just saying the same thing as before.

“Please, ha, hurry, ugh.”

“I, I will help you. Can I help-, Aiden?”

I gathered the heat in the palm of my hand and tried to approach him, but his eyes suddenly changed.

The purple eyes that were shining just before were filled with emptiness.

He was like a different person.

It was as if someone else, not Aiden, was in front of me in his guise.

‘Did your eyes change then?’ No.

It hadn’t changed back then.

“…Aiden?”

I called him once again, feeling nervous at the fact that he had changed significantly from then.

But there was no further answer from him.

It was then.

Suddenly he got up from the bed and lunged at me.

I didn’t know what it was, but feeling a sense of danger, I quickly moved away from him.

Then he came back to me, as if trying to grab me.

I dodged him again with a quick gesture.

“What’s wrong? Aiden, what the hell…!”

I tried talking to him, but he was still speechless.

‘That’s….’

While keeping a certain distance from him and watching him play, iron was flowing from the palm of his left hand.

It was very similar to the way he dealt with monsters.

Are you trying to attack me now?

“Aiden? what are you doing now….”

I couldn’t understand what the hell this was about.

I wondered if the sick person had come to his senses, but suddenly his eyes became strange and his behavior became strange.

“Aiden, calm down. See who I am.”

I shouted at him in frustration and fear, but he didn’t even pretend to hear.

It was a time when I was as far away from him as possible and couldn’t do this or that.

He grabbed his left wrist with his right hand.

Then the leaking iron went back inside.

The iron in his palms flowed in and out over and over again.

“Aiden?”

He seemed to be muttering something between the moans of pain, but it was too low to be heard.

“Aiden, what did you say? Are you okay?”

Again, there was no answer.

“-uh.”

“Yes?”

It’s clear what he’s saying, but I’m frustrated because I can’t hear him.

So, without realizing it, I took a step forward.

“Die!”

Then, as soon as I heard exactly what he was saying to me, Aiden lunged at me again.

‘Did you tell me to die right now?’

Are you really trying to kill me?

Why?

Why the hell are you trying to kill me all of a sudden?

At his words to die, my mind instantly went blank, and he attacked me before I could do anything.

I caught him rushing at me, but I couldn’t handle his weight and my body fell backwards.

And we fell to the floor together.

“Ugh!”

Fortunately, I fell on the bare floor and avoided a further collision.

But suddenly, and without any cushioning, I felt a lot of pain when I rolled on the floor.

The pain soon subsided and I looked around to get myself together, but I saw Aiden clutching his neck and rolling on the floor, writhing in pain.

“Aiden!”

“…Go, ugh, please!”

As I held onto his body, I looked into his eyes, and the purple eyes were looking at me again.

It seemed that his mind had returned.

“Aiden, are you okay?”

“Please…Belle, Rita.”

He begged me even though he was in pain.

In an instant, his words caught my attention. Aiden isn’t trying to kill me. Now he was being manipulated by something.

The person who had just been attacking me begged me to go see if he had regained his senses for a moment.

But I couldn’t leave him.

How could I go on leaving him suffering?

“I-, ah!”

But his eyes darkened again.

No, it was deposited so low that the depth was incomprehensible, incomparable to what it was just before.

I was no longer visible in his eyes.

Then, much faster than before, he pulled the iron out of his palm and created a dagger.

Immediately, he brandished a dagger and attacked me.

I barely dodged his attack by rolling to the side.

The dagger stuck to the floor.

I could see how strong his power to attack me was.

While he drew out his dagger, he moved quickly in the gap.

However, the speed with which he pulled out the sword was beyond imagination.

In an instant, he followed me.

“Please, Aiden, wake up!”

I shook my head quickly as I continued to talk to him.

‘It must be because of the necklace.’

I vaguely remembered what he had said to me before.

That the necklace controls his actions.

Those words fit perfectly with the current situation.

Aiden didn’t want to, but it was clear the necklace was telling him to attack me.

‘But why?’

What the hell is the necklace telling me to kill me for?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t solve it.

‘I have to get Aiden to wake up.’

First, Aiden had to return to his original form.

It was a mess in my head, but I knew exactly what to do right now.

I stopped running away and stared straight at him.

All I could see was the necklace Aiden was wearing around his neck.

A necklace hidden in a shirt collar.

I have to reach that necklace somehow.

Aiden charged at me with a dagger in one hand.

The room wasn’t that large, so he came right up to his nose.

I quickly concentrated the heat on my palms.

And the moment he thrust the dagger at me, I grabbed the dagger’s blade with my hand.

“Ugh!”

When the blade and my hand collided, the blade pierced my palm and blood ran down the blade.

But after a while, the heat of my hand slowly began to melt the blade of the dagger.

However, since the sword was made of iron power, it pierced my hand faster than it melted.

I held back the pain and reached out my other hand to him.

‘Please please…!’

I reached out to touch Aiden’s neck somehow, but considering his height, I couldn’t help but fall short.

Above all, the power with which he pushed me was also no joke.

“Please wake up, Aiden!”

I yelled at him to get him back, but there was no response.

‘Please, please just a little more!’

But no matter what, I couldn’t reach it.

Iron flowed from Aiden’s other hand at the moment when helplessness and frustration enveloped his body.

Another dagger was being made before I knew it.

‘Wake.’

It’s still too early to give up.

And the thought that I shouldn’t delay more time occupied my head.

I must reach him before that sword is forged.

So as soon as I removed my hand from the dagger, I dug into his arms and hugged him tightly.

“Ah, ugh.”

The sharp edge of the dagger grazed my side.

As a result of reflexively hugging Aiden and turning his body, he was able to prevent getting stuck in his abdomen.

He tried to pull me away, but I struggled to keep from him.

I hurriedly poured the heat into the hand that clasped my neck.

‘Please please.’

I hope my power works like last time, and I hope it’s not too late.

Fortunately, I soon felt his grip on me slowly weaken.

After a while, his body sagged.

It’s fainting.

“Ha….”

A deep sigh of relief came.

But when Aiden’s body weighed down on me, I couldn’t stand it any longer.

The amount of bleeding in the palms and sides was more than expected, and I lost my mind for a moment.

As her body gave out, she collapsed sideways on the floor with him.

“Aiden….”

I was lying on the floor facing him, who had passed out.

You have to get up.

I also had to come to my senses, and I had to take care of myself, but I just couldn’t do that.

Gathering up all her strength, she reached out to him.

My fingers were entangled in his long, straight fingers.

“Relief…are you.”

As soon as I squeezed his hand tightly, somehow the anxiety disappeared in an instant.

Even so, the eyelids were too heavy.

I couldn’t stop my eyelids from falling.

Blinking his eyes, he continued to groan.

His handsome face disappeared and seemed repeated.

But eventually, as the world went dark, I lost my mind.

* * *

Aiden opened his eyes slowly.

When he opened his eyes, Belita caught his gaze.

And I felt the warmth of her fingertips.

‘Belita.’

As he quietly called her name, everything that had happened quickly passed through his mind.

I felt the blood run cold from my fingertips.

Realizing that the floor he and Belita were lying on was bare, he hurriedly jumped up.

Then he carefully took the fallen Belita in his arms and laid her down on the bed.

Seeing Belita lying on the bed, her appearance was beyond words.

The fact that all of this was because of him flooded him with a sense of shame.

But this wasn’t the time to be arguing about those things.

It was now to treat her first.

He quickly tugged at the sling line.

Then, Derek’s voice came from outside.

“Did you call?”

“Come in.”

Hearing his master’s voice instead of Belita’s, Derek quickly entered the room.

“Master, are you awake?!”

He asked Aiden in a worried voice.

“Call a doctor quickly, you heavy-mouthed man.”

But instead of answering, he ordered to call a doctor.

Come to think of it, the princess who had been in the room until just a while ago was nowhere to be seen.

“Princess…!”

I was about to ask Aiden if the princess had returned, but Belita was lying on the bed, bleeding.

“Hey, Princess, why….”

“Derrick.”

Aiden called him in a very low voice.

Only then did Derek understand why Aiden had asked him to call the doctor.

He came to his senses and hurriedly left the room.

When Derek goes outside, Aiden first gets water from the bathroom to give him first aid.

After carefully wiping the bleeding Belita’s palm, he quickly stopped the bleeding.

Then, Belita’s side finished bleeding as well.

But it wasn’t a perfect cure.

It was just a stopgap, so he prayed for a doctor to come soon.

“My lord, I am.”

“Come in.”

Fortunately, his able subordinates quickly brought in a doctor.

The doctor was the same doctor who had examined Aiden earlier.

He tilted his head and looked at Aiden.

It was also because he wondered why he was here again because the man he had examined earlier was standing still.

But his curiosity was quickly dispelled.

The man who was called Master by the person who picked him up nodded and pointed to the bed.

The woman who had greeted him earlier was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

“No, what is this-”

In addition, I don’t know what happened in between, but the bandages that looked like first aid were smeared with blood.

The doctor hurried over to the bed. And I started treatment right away.

He took off the blood-soaked bandage and wiped the blood away, estimating the depth of the wound.

The wound on the palm was quite deep, so it would be difficult to use the hand for a while, but fortunately the cut on the side was not that deep.

It was a little passing by, so it wasn’t hard to move.

The gaze looking at him from behind was so hot.

Because of his wit, his hand movements were faster than usual.

After a while, the doctor who finished the treatment stood up.

“How is it?”

“Fortunately, the wound on the side is not deep. But….”

The doctor quickly looked around.

Blood splattered on the floor caught his eye.

“Just what?”

“However, in the case of the palm, the wound is deep and it bleeds a lot, so it will be uncomfortable to use your hand for a while. Other than that, nothing seems to be a problem.”

At the doctor’s words, Aiden’s hardened face relaxed very slightly.

“You must never tell anyone about today.”

Saying that, Aiden took out a handful of gold coins from his pocket and handed them to the doctor.

The considerable amount made the doctor’s eyes wide open.

“Ah, I see. I will never tell you.”

Seeing Aiden’s cold gaze, the doctor hurriedly gave him the answer he wanted.

Soon after, Derek takes the doctor out, and now it’s just him and her in the room again.

Aiden sat near the bed and watched Belita.

“…I’m sorry.”

Just like the woman who muttered before, thinking he couldn’t hear him, he kept repeating to her that he was sorry.

But unlike Belita, Aiden wanted her to be able to hear him.

I hoped that he would wake up soon and look at him with straight blue eyes darker than the sky.

When she wakes up, she’ll never look at him as kindly as she used to….

Because of what he had done, he could understand if she turned away from him.

No, it wouldn’t be okay to be honest, but I could take anything once she woke up.

“Ha….”

After all, he is too much for her.

I couldn’t be greedy because he was someone I couldn’t reach in the first place.

And because of today’s work, I realized it even more clearly.

It was dangerous for him to be by her side unless his own throat was cut, unless this damn necklace let him go.

He couldn’t put her in danger because of his vain greed.

He briefly recalled the events from a few days ago to today, one by one.

Returning to his room after driving Hagus off guard and winning, he felt a moment of strangulation.

It was the necklace’s reaction.

‘What, what happened to my sister?’

He and Adela were connected by a necklace.

When Adela was sick, the pain was transmitted through the necklace, and he was equally sick.

By any chance, if she fainted, he also lost consciousness.

But this time, something was different from usual.

It wasn’t the pain that Adela felt in pain, but rather a dirty, unpleasant feeling.

And at the same time, it brought back terrible memories.

As the memory passed through my mind, goose bumps ran through my body.

He had forgotten for a while, but the pain that tried to control his mind suddenly began.

‘Kill.’

Something whispered to himself in his head.

Just like then, someone was giving him orders.

That someone was expected.

There was only one person who would do this to him.

‘Kill me.’

Who are you going to kill?

Will he again have to get blood on his hands for the sake of the duke?

‘Kill Belita Heights.’

But the moment I heard the name Belita Heights, my spirit jumped.

Kill Belita?

Why, why kill her?

Maybe because of the carriage incident?

No.

It didn’t matter what the reason was now.

Aiden tried with all his might to protect himself from being mindcontrolled.

He couldn’t do what he wanted like before.

Never, never could he kill her.

The necklace’s power suddenly disappeared as if he had given up after he resisted fiercely.

Fortunately, he collapsed, relieved that he hadn’t lost this time.

But his prediction was wrong.

When he managed to come to his senses, the necklace began to strangle him again.

‘Kill Belita Heights.’

Another voice ordered him to kill Belita.

He resisted with all his might.

Even if her mind is destroyed, she alone must be protected.

No, he intended to slit his own throat if he ever stepped out of this room.

I endured it one more time and passed out.

And the next time I woke up, I heard Belita’s voice in my ears.

I thought it was a dream.

Because if it wasn’t a dream, she wouldn’t be here.

She told him

I was afraid I wouldn’t see him anymore.

I didn’t want to see him lying down in pain.

I was worried about him.

As he stroked her hair, she was playing with his hair.

‘Ah, this is a dream.’

Can never be real

I thought it was a dream created by his vain delusions.

So even if it was a dream, I wanted to put her in my eyes right now. He grabbed the arm that gently stroked his hair.

However, the texture of her skin touching the palm of my hand was as vivid as the real thing.

‘No way….’

When I thought it might not be a dream, I hurriedly lifted my eyelids.

Then, the woman who had missed him dearly for several days and missed him so much was looking down at him with her eyes wide open.

“Ahh!”

Suddenly, her screams were heard clearly in his ears, and Belita was about to fall backwards.

He quickly got up and pulled her.

A pleasant scent from her penetrated deep into his nostrils.

He was holding her in his arms

He was touching her and she was touching him.

“….”

“….”

There was silence between the two for a while.

She also had a surprised face as if he didn’t know if he would open his eyes, and he also couldn’t say anything when she was really in front of him.

In my head, I was whispering that I should get away from her, that I couldn’t dare to look down on you….

I just couldn’t let it go.

I wanted to do anything if I could not let go.

As Belita tried to get away from him, he hugged her even tighter.

If time would stop forever like this

I wish you would look at me with a warm gaze like you do now.

I hope these eyes don’t turn cold.

If you didn’t know anything….

…A terrible desire welled up.

Belita kept talking to him, but was at a loss as to what to say.

Still, it was the moment when I thought I had to make an excuse to hold on to her.

The jade fastening of the necklace began again.

‘Kill.’

I can’t.

‘Kill! Kill her!’

Rather kill me

However, this power was on a different level from the pain inflicted on him so far.

It felt like someone was messing around in my head.

I was driving him to the edge of the precipice so that he couldn’t, never could.

She shouldn’t be

We have to get her out of here.

Aiden gritted his teeth and spat out the words to get Belita out while he had a little bit of his mind left.

“Quick, ugh, let’s go….”

When she leaves, he intends to kill himself this time.

He had someone to look for, but he couldn’t live without her.

It was better to lose confidence than to hurt Belita.

He knew the emotions he thought he would never know, and that was enough for him.

Knowing her, that alone made life more fulfilling.

He wasn’t afraid to die to protect her.

But not in front of her.

So he barely opened his mouth to get out, but she didn’t leave him alone.

However, in the face of brute force, he eventually lost control of himself in front of Belita.

Aiden stared at Belita lying on the bed.

‘I got her….’

Haha, it was disappointing.

He felt so sorry for her that he was the one who had hurt her, and he was going crazy.

He reached out and touched her hair, but hesitated.

He no longer had the right to touch her.

He clenched his fists and lowered his hand.

‘What should I do now?’

Because of this incident, he knew that the Duke of Bayern was aiming for Belita.

However, he did not have the strength to go against the Duke of Bayern.

Only his death could free him from the duke’s shackles.

To make sure this doesn’t happen again, he….

I had to make a decision.

Fortunately, the necklace didn’t work while I was doing this.

This must be a golden opportunity, but his face was puzzled and relieved.

It was a time when I was thinking of many things while taking care of her.

Smart-.

Someone knocked on his door.

Derek would have knocked on the door and immediately revealed his name, but the knocker only knocked and said nothing.

Then it wasn’t Derek.

“Who is it?”

Aiden quietly opened his mouth to the opponent who knocked on the door.

“This is Clayton Louden.”

Then I heard the voice of a man I didn’t even want to see face to face these days.

Clayton Louden came to his room.

There was no need to ask why.

Aiden quickly went through Belita’s clothes.

She was wearing a fancy dress that would be worn at a banquet.

It was a light sky-colored dress that suited her so well.

After the war, I was stuck in my room, so I didn’t know what happened outside, but I could guess that a banquet was held to celebrate the victory.

Perhaps today was the banquet, and when he didn’t show up, it seemed that Belita had come to visit him.

And that man outside, although he is still from a traitorous family, unlike him, that man who was born an aristocrat, came to find Belita, who had disappeared.

“Wait a moment.”

Still undecided, he was conflicted for a moment.

No, I had already made up my mind, but I just wanted to be with her a little longer.

But as you know, the sky wasn’t always on his side.

‘Little bit more….’

He tried to get a little more of her look.

He just stared at her without blinking.

Smart-.

When Aiden didn’t come out after a long wait, Clayton knocked on the door again.

Aiden rose from his chair.

Even so, he did not take his eyes off Belita.

But now it was time to put an end to it.

He moved his feet towards the door as slowly as possible.

Standing in front of the door, he stood still for a moment.

And as if he had made up his mind, he grabbed the doorknob and opened the door.

“….”

“….”

The two men stared at each other but were silent for a while.

Then Clayton first asked only one question, to the exclusion of everything else.

“Is the princess here?”

“…Please come in.”

As Aiden stepped aside, Clayton strode into the room.

Upon entering, Clayton quickly looked around the room.

He won’t know what happened here because Derek came and cleaned the room after seeing the doctor off.

Then Clayton’s gaze was fixed on the bed.

Clayton’s eyes caught Belita lying in bed.

Clayton approached Belita.

However, when she came out of the blanket, her hand was bandaged.

“Miss!”

Seeing Belita injured, Clayton’s mind went blank for a moment, to the point where he didn’t even know he had called Belita a lady.

“What is this?”

Clayton’s voice grew cold in an instant.

“…Take Belita with you.”

Without answering his question, Aiden just told him to take Belita.

Clayton glared at him coldly.

“Why is the lady hurt?”

“…I did.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“I hurt Belita. So take her with you.”

Anger rose in Clayton’s chest.

Even after hurting Belita, he maintained a very insensitive attitude.

Clayton exercised patience, clenching his fists.

“The doctor did the treatment, so there is no need to call a doctor. The doctor said she would wake up soon, so please take her to her room before then.”

When Aiden said that Belita would wake up soon, Clayton calmed down first.

Then he lifted Belita to the side and held her in his arms.

But his gaze landed on Belita’s side.

There was also a bandage wrapped around it.

Clayton clenched his teeth, holding back from wanting to do anything to Aiden who made Belita like this.

“…Bayern is always like this.”

Clayton snorted quietly as he passed Aiden while holding Belita in his arms.

“….”

Aiden showed no reaction.

“I will definitely pay for today’s work.”

“…It is what you want.”

After saying that, the two of them left Aiden’s room.

When the door closed, Aiden’s face, which had been expressionless until now, was filled with despair and resignation.
