Gwang!!
The Duke of Vallua threw a glass at his wife, who returned to the mansion. The Duchess, who narrowly avoided the glass, covered her mouth with a pale face.
"Ho, honey..."
"Useless girl!"
She ran to her angry husband and hung on him.
"I've been hit too. Why does a swindler suddenly target a good-natured person like me? Dubbled must be targeting you, I...! Argh!"
The Duke of Vallua grabbed his wife's shoulders.
"What does the art dealer say? He's from the Dubbled?!"
"......"
When the Duchess of Vallua could not answer and avoided looking at him, the Duke pushed her roughly.
Dubbled's second son, Henry Dubbled, who came on behalf of his younger sister before, had a scary side that was not like a boy his age.
"Go in the morning and pack your luggage!"
"Wh, what-"
Back then, he despised himself with insults and words that he had heard from Theodore Dubbled.
When he recalled Theodore in his youth, he remembered the first time in his life when he was humiliated.
It was a garden where nobles gathered, his sword was on the grass, as Theodore Dubbled's sword pointed to him.
A voice murmured,
"Theo, stop."
The thin back that was blocking him and the hair that was shining brightly.
William Vallua had a woman he could not have in his life.
The man's rough hands that embraced the woman.
At the moment, the face of the child of fate and the woman, who was laughing beside Theodore Dubbled, overlapped.
The Duke of Vallua clenched his fist tightly.
"Taliman!"
When the Duke of Vallua shouted, a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat and gloves came in.
"Please give me your orders."
"Bring 'them' from underground."
"Yes."
The man bowed his head. The eyes of the Duke of Vallua shone.
'You'll lose her again.'
The dazzling glory will be his. He will be left with regret for not keeping what is precious in his life.

The prize will be presented at the Imperial Palace dinner in four days.
I replied to the invitation from the palace as soon as I returned to the mansion.
And today, me and my family left for the palace.
At the dinner table were the children of two families who had entered the finals and their families.
We gave each other greeting and soon after, the emperor, the first prince, Andre, and Empress Yvonne came in.
Normally, the person with the highest position among those invited will be the one who start the greeting.
However, it was up to me, the winner of the virtual battle, to start the greeting today.
"God bless the sun of the Empire. Enjoy the glory of eternity."
