Chapter 52

"Pope, did I drink a lot yesterday?"

After I pulled on the rope, I ask the busy Pope as she come in and hands me honey water.

"Yes."

She says firmly without any hesitation.

Originally, she was a resolute and heartless person, but today's resoluteness is different from before.

Ah, it's really was the truth.

"Did I make any mistake?"

"You did."

Pope, who's calmly arranging my face wash and change of clothes, looks at me dimly when she heard the word mistake.

"It was a lot too."

She nods.

"Really? I see."

I laugh awkwardly while sipping the honey water.

"But I don't remember well. You were here yesterday, weren't you? You must have seen everything, right?"

She must have seen the truth.

"Yes."

"What did I do a lot of?"

"I left the room in the middle, so I don't know what happened after I left."

I swallow my saliva as Pope stretches out her answer.

"Haiz—"

With a brief sigh, Pope grabs her cheeks own cheeks.

"Your Grace is here. His Excellency, you're such a rich boy. Do it! Wow—"

"Stop."

Her voice and expression remain unchanged from mine. I close my eyes at the strange words that I let slip.

"I understand everything."

"Yes."

I feel like I'm going to collapse in shame otherwise.

I acted cute because I was drunk.

"What was his response?"

"Shall I tell you as it is?"

"Don't take out a single word."

"If you're not injured somewhere, I hope you'll open your eyes a little. It's unpleasant."

"Asshole."

Son of a bitch.

"What?"

At the moment, Pope widens her eyes, surprised by the words that slip out.

Her (Abella) outer appearance looks a little—

"Right, and what else did I do?"

"You drank wine that cost 2,000 pieces of gold."

Hold on.

"What?"

What did I drink? The news is more shocking than the aegyo that I tried but didn't even work—

"Nonsense."

My eyes open up wider.

2,000-gold wine.

"When did I do that?"

"That was what you said yesterday, that it was delicious."

"That was the 2,000-gold wine?"

Was there gold in the wine?

"But how did you know that?"

"You said, 'This is very delicious,' and his Excellency replied, 'Of course. It costs 2,000 pieces of gold.'"
