A Plan (2)
âDo you still have any information on why Matthias tried to kill his brothers by giving orders to Viscount Lambert?â
Evidence was being gathered that Lambertâs men set fire to the Adelia Estate. However, it was Matthias who ordered the work.
âThe information about him is stillâ¦â
There were some suspicious encounters, but nothing was revealed. Rowena looked at Louisâ face as if he had fallen asleep peacefully.
Matthias had a sense of inferiority to Theoâ¦
Matthiasâ apparent sword skills were slightly higher than Theoâs. That alone made Matthias feel as if he had the whole world, but Matthias was always anxious.
He hated Theo as if he would one day take his rights, but he was also afraid of Theo. Theo was sick and tired of Matthias.
But, weirdly, he tried to kill Louis.
Louis, like Rowena, was a ridiculous opponent for Matthias. He would have thought he was a trivial thing that was not his enemy.
If Matthias tries to kill Louis, there will be only one reason.
When he had done something enormous enough to be ousted from the countâs successor position, it was only when Paul wouldnât be given another option.
What the hell did he do?
It was Paul who sided with Matthias even after a serious accident. This time, he is looking for Matthias rather than throwing him away.
If Matthias was in such big trouble that he thought Paul would abandon him.
Treason? Whatâs wrong with Matthias? Thatâs ridiculous⦠But if it wasnât something against the Imperial family, my father wouldnât throw Matthias outâ¦
Matthias did something dangerous that would do fatal harm to the family. And Theo and Louis were considered a threat to him.
ââ¦â
An idea that seemed to catch something was coming to mind.
Rowena, who was agonizing, soon organized her thoughts.
Stupid Matthias will do it anyway. Since heâs in a tight spot, he will think thereâs no way out but to carry his plan out.
Then I will know what heâs up to. Like it or not.

Upon returning to the room, Cecil held Rowena in his arms. It wasnât because he had other ulterior motives. Rowena had a calm face, but her expression clouded as soon as Cecil hugged her.
âOh, myâ¦â
Although they didnât get along well, Theo was wandering around. Louis, the youngest brother, was also unable to open his eyes.
Rowena was realizing that she had no recourse.
The cause of all this was Matthias, but Paul was still sitting on his hands and waiting for Matthias to return.
Louis would open his eyes, and Theo would recover. The situation was not going to end with that. Matthias would commit something again.
Cecil waited until Rowena shed a tear and stopped crying. Rowena, who had been in tears until his shirt became damp, sniffed and raised her head slowly.
It was Liliana who helped Rowena by her side, but Liliana also left with Kian to find her new life.
Another person, Pina, was next to her, but Pina was essentially the one that Rowena had to protect. It wasnât someone she could count on.
Rowena put her thoughts together for a moment and looked at Cecil. Cecil frowned at the firm look.
âYour Highness, my brother has caused troubleâ¦â
âStop. You donât have to say it.â
âI have to say it.â
Cecil could tell what Rowena was trying to say just by looking at her expression. Cecil pulled Rowena, who raised her head.
Rowena seemed to hesitate even in his arms as if he would not let go. Cecil buried his face around the nape of her neck.
âI said I donât want to hear it.â
âButâ¦â
Rowena was about to tell Matthias to abandon his plans if he committed a great crime. It was already listed in the temple, so their divorce was not impossible.
âThere is no such thing as that. Your brother will eventually be silent.â
Cecil did not intend to kill Matias. He was guilty of sin, and it is a matter of honor for Rowena, so it would be enough to keep him in the family.
Of course, he still didnât intend to have Paul, who had the potential to secretly appoint Matthias as Count Adeliaâs title.
He intended to bring him down and give Theo the Count title. Paul deserved to step down from the countâs post just for what he had done to Rowena.
âIf your Highness is in trouble because of meâ¦â
âIt wonât happen. I guarantee you.â
Cecil, who lowered his head, bumped his forehead with Rowena. The fact that the Adelia Estate had already caught fire was making a lot of talk among the nobles, but it was moderately pressable.
In the first place, it was a marriage that was scheduled in a hurry. Since they counted two months from the day of the engagement agreement, the wedding will be held about a month and a half from now.
In the meantime, he was not going to touch Count Adelia, because Matthias Adelia had started an accident.
