Chapter 22: CH 22

Gabriel looked at the people who were moving in unison next to him.

They had no loyalty to Gabriel. In fact, the tendency to contempt was stronger. They are dissatisfied with Gabriel, who deceived everyone and ran away to make them suffer.

However, at least on the surface, they were crying and rejoicing, imitating the appearance of a loyal servant.

Because Gabriel has a status they cannot reach.

Gabriel was quite pleased with that fact.

Having power increases the numbers of people he can wield. The number of people becomes Gabriel’s strength and ability. Even if they are not all sincere.

‘The truth doesn’t matter.’

Isn’t everyone moving according to their own interests? It was enough for him to have only one sincerity.

“I am going to see my father.”

He will climb higher than anyone else.

Even if the end is hell.

*****

I’m working on something pretty important these days.

Training Cherry!

“Cherry, hand!”

“Woff!”

“Ahhh. It’s cute.”

Instead of reaching out her hand, Cherry lay down. It seems that you don’t understand what I’m saying at all, but even that point was cute.

Oh my gosh, how can such a cute creature exist!

If there is a kid cuter than our cherry, ask them to come out.

I was rolling on the bed, praising the cute cherry, when I heard the door of the tower open.

Shannet came to bring laundry, but it seems that Shannet has already returned.

I said without looking towards the door.

“You here?”

“Yes.”

What? Is it too low for Shannet’s voice?

I just got up from my seat.

“Cesare?”

I had to face the criminal who locked me here.

My vacation is now over.

****

I never thought I would be locked up in this tower for the rest of my life.

It’s just… Yes, I was just giving Gabriel and Cesare time to bond.

It’s because if there’s an obstacle in love nearby, I’ll be concerned about doing these and other novel stuff like this.

‘They can’t do it in a dungeon forever.’

I looked at Cesare with salty eyes and shook my head.

Of course, the scene in that dungeon was also the best part of this novel.

But Gabriel was too weak for that.

If you don’t want to make Gabriel die, you’ll have to take him into the bedroom in the end, but as long as I, the mansion’s hostess, survives, it’ll be difficult.

Gabriel, who obviously has a crush on me, would also be very uncomfortable.

His wife might be listening outside the door.

Wouldn’t that be so terrifying?

I thought maybe that’s partly why Cesare had me imprisoned here.

He kept me here for as long as possible, giving me a moderate amount of convenience so that I wouldn’t make any noise.

This tower is also in Cesare’s realm after all, so I’m blindfolded, but what can I do? So, would it be okay if you let me go in the first place?

Anyway, seeing that Cesare came to see me, it seemed that their happy time had ended to some extent.

Now, are you sure it’s clear that both of you like each other? Then my existence becomes a problem in the end, but if possible, I would like to quietly stamp the divorce and leave. If possible, with generous alimony!

It’s so sad to be kicked out without a penny.

I could go back to my hometown, but I don’t know Daphne’s people at all!

I quietly waited for Cesare to open his mouth. Cesare coughed, and he finally spoke up.

“Hmm. Isn’t it inconvenient to live here?”

“it’s okay.”

It was the most comfortable days since I was possessed here.

It’s not just for two people that I feel comfortable because I can’t see it in front of my eyes.

I rested well without thinking about the original in a long time.

“Aren’t you still frustrated? Here it is, Cherry. Hmmm. It would be difficult to walk the dog.”

“Cherry is fine, as Shannet gives cherry an outside look from time to time. She is still too young to go for a walk every day.”

“It must be narrow and dirty compared to the original room.”

“They cleaned it up and it was worth it, right?”

“Great.”

Cesare coughed in vain, and his face hardened. He drew his dark eyebrows into the nasolabial folds.

Why is he so angry again?

Cesare was showing the appearance of a contractor trying to catch up with a defect in the sale before the real estate contract.

You want me to say I’m uncomfortable?

I took my luck out of doubt.

“Still, the bathroom in my room was more comfortable.”

“… Right!”

“If the cherry are bigger, she will need more space.”

“Yeah. Dogs should be kept in a large area.”

Cesare snorted excitedly. Apparently this was the correct answer. He wanted to tell, that I was locked up and uncomfortable. Uncomfortable it’s a bit…

Anyway, seeing that you’ve come all the way here, it seems that you have a heart to set me free.

Did Gabriel even tell you to get me out of the tower with a tearful plea?

With Cesare’s personality, I thought Gabriel would be even worried about me, but it was really the scene of the reform..

After all, the power of love is great. You made that crazy Cesare go limp, didn’t you?

There is nothing to reflect on, but I recited a letter of reflection in moderation.

“I had a lot of thoughts while I was here. I will reflect for the rest of my life, and I will be quiet in the future.”

“Hmm.”

“Even if I met Gabriel in the mansion, I would never pretend to know him or look at his hair….”

“He will never see you again. Because he left.”

What? Gabriel is leaving?

Surprised, I quickly turned my head to Shannet, who was waiting by the door. Our eyes met, and Shannet looked into me eyes and secretly avoided my gaze.

I just told that Gabriel was released, she didn’t say he left the mansion!

What the hell does that mean when the main character lover leaves the main character’s?

“Gabriel, gone?”

“Didn’t you want to release him?”

The mild-flavored became spicy again. For a moment, the worst was imagined.

“You misunderstood my words by release him from the mansion, did you?”

So you didn’t quietly release Gabriel and let him go, did you?

I wondered if Cesare was a man who listened to his wife like that, but I thought I didn’t know because there was a variable called Gabriel.

Gabriel in the original did not have good feelings for Daphne, but not now. But for me, who expected the two of them to quickly flirt and nurture love, it was a lightning bolt.

Cesare opened his eyes fiercely and looked at me.

“Huh? Then you was going to keep him in the mansion and live next to you?”

“It’s not me who lives with him, it’s Cesare!”

“I don’t know why I have to live with a slave like that. It was you who had an affair with him.”

I open my mouth wide. What hell is he talking about?

First of all, I refuted the part that I had an affair with Gabriel.

“I never had an affair with Gabriel! That’s not really true. I swear!”

“Then it doesn’t matter if he stays in the mansion or not.”

“What about Cesare? Are you really okay with not seeing Gabriel again? Doesn’t it hurt?”

“It’s rather lame. If I ever see him again, then he won’t be able to leave my estate unharmed, Daphne.”

Oh my gosh. What the hell is all this?

I released him to grow love, but it seems that they only nurtured hate. Of course, there is a difference between love and hate to the extent that there is an expression called love-hate…

Confused, Cesare pressed a wedge.

“I won’t let my wife fool around with another man. Even if other nobles usually live like that, I can’t do it. So keep that in mind.”

I cried for a moment. When did I say I was hanging out with Gabriel? The one who have played with so far is Cesare!

I even locked myself up in this tower to wish you all the best!

Of course, I had a pretty happy life with Cherry.

Anyway!

It was perfect to say that if I do it, it would be romance and if others do it, it would be affair. Unable to resist, I ended up spit it.

“The only person who has had fun with Gabriel so far is Cesare.”

“… What?”

“I think you upset that Gabriel left, but it is not my fault that he left. He must have left because he was disappointed with Cesare.”

“Why do you think I had fun with him?”

Cesare asked as if he didn’t really understand. His voice sounded really absurd, so I was the one who was embarrassed.

I asked him to confirm.

“You like Gabriel.”

“That’s the most insulting thing I’ve ever heard.”

“Are you really, really not interested? a little bit? Didn’t you ever think he was  pretty?”

“It is the thing I regret the most about picking him up.”

Cesare frowned. Cesare’s attitude and expression… He didn’t seem to be lying.

Even if I tried to doubt whether it was the tsundere aspect of the obsessive maniac, his attitude was too plain and relentless.

Come to think of it, it seems that Cesare never brought anything to Gabriel.

In the case of the original, although the basic base was a high-quality R-19 novel, Cesare appeared to care about Gabriel here and there.

Things like sending a doctor to Gabriel who is sick, or saving Gabriel from being abused by Triever.

But this time, that wasn’t the case at all.
