"What?! Sister Hilise came up to the fourth floor?"
Someone's tranquility had just broken.
Gabrielle jumped from her seat, flustered by the news her maid had come and told her.
A cold towel that she had placed over her eyelids to alleviate the swelling fell onto her lap.
Her eyes were swollen as she had been crying in front of Christian, Diego, and Ricardo since the afternoon, one after another.
So, she couldn't go out even though she heard a commotion outside.
But the story the maid told after finding out what caused the uproar was surprising.
"Why is she suddenly moving to a good room?"
The fourth floor of the mansion was also where Gabrielle's current room was located.
If it weren't too long ago, it would be no big deal but she would still have been a little surprised. However, since what happened in the garden, she can't be considered this insignificant.
The maid replied to Gabrielle, who was moaning from frustration.
"Well... Miss Hilise broke her room so she couldn't stay there anymore."
"She broke her room?"
Her voice got higher, doubting her ears.
The maid, too, had difficulty believing what she had heard from outside.
Suddenly, the wicked vine that had previously wrapped her body in the garden came to Gabrielle's mind.
"That means she grew something so her room couldn't be used...?"
Even though it might not be the reason, Gabrielle asked with a small voice filled with caution. Her maid's voice also lowered as if whispering a secret.
"No. I heard that the room was damaged while she was attacking Ricardo with her spell."
Gabrielle's jaw fell.
She couldn't figure out which part of that sentence was most surprising.
It turned out that Ricardo, who heard Gabrielle's complaint earlier, left the room to say something to Hilise.
Ricardo did not scold her like her father, and as always, her kind caring older brother showed his usual reaction to make her happy. Though she was agitated and exaggerated about what has happened during the day.
Given the circumstances, that's why Ricardo went to Hilise's room...
'Sister Hilise attacked brother Ricardo? Enough to destroy the room?'
"You, did you hear correctly?"
"I went outside, they were all talking about it. I saw Miss Hilise's room, and the walls were really broken."
"Really?"
"Besides, the Master was bleeding on his face."
The color went out of Gabrielle's face.
It was even more serious than she thought because there was even bleeding on his face.
Though what she's worried about right now is not the injured Ricardo, who went to see Hilise because of her.
"Well, I don't think Sister Hilise' intentionally moved her room to a place near mine, right?"
If all that she heard was true, then Hilise's attack on Ricardo would be unpleasant...
