It was romantic that Abigail was the first woman in Charles' life that made his heart pounded.

From the moment he saw her, he couldn't help but fall in love.

She was the only one that he wanted to have by his side. He wanted it so much that he even threw all of himself away for her.

That blunt man confessed it with his mouth.

'If I can't have it, then I'll destroy it.'

While he used tsundere lines that were typical of 2nd male lead , he was worried that Abigail would get hurt.

It was a fact that I realized after reading the book and becoming Abella.

I didn't think Charles had the ability to defeat Kyle, so I didn't think he was going to die after his losing power or even worse, get killed.

All because of Abigail.

All because it was Kyle that she chose.

I also thought, 'Isn't it also possible that I invited myself to die for her happiness too?'

Haizz, I'm a salty person.

Even though he is said to be a villain, but in my opinion, Charles is the most pitiful person in this novel.

We've all had the pleasure of being overwhelmed by a love that came by accident and possibly lead us to our ruin at one point or another in our life.

Was it really love?

I have wondered that myself.

As far as I know, Charles Diago doesn't seem to be a person who will bother others or obsess over things.

Why did it change like that?

I stare at him with a small tilt of my head, trying to imagine how he'll changed.

"What do you think—"

"Your Grace."

Charles' voice muffles with mine.

"Tell me."

When he speaks with a voice like that―

"Love, have you ever felt it?"

I throw him a question that has been lingering in my mouth, waiting to come out all this time.

"... What?"

"Love."

This entire time, we've been discussing my business venture. Now, I suddenly twist the direction of our conversation, so I don't blame the bewildered look on his face when his brows pucker together, or the fact I can see that he thinks the question is absurd.

"What are you talking about?"

"I haven't."

"... ... ."

"This relationship began when you said that we didn't need to love each other, and that you'd not want to. I also don't want to love either."

"... ... ."

Yes, I think I'll use this reasoning.

"But?"

"I'm just curious."

"... ... ."

"Rather than loving me, have you ever felt the feeling of love before? I'm curious about that."

'Why don't you love me?' I wonder if it sounds like that because I'm trying to make it so as much as possible.

I give him a heart warming look, trying to pick my words wisely.
