'I wonder if there is anyone in this mansion who will truly treat him well. Besides, how would he feel if he finds out that he was betrayed by his own blood and was comforted by his so-called ornaments?'

Aria laughed then said to the Countess, "I'm sorry, but I won't let Mielle be left untouched although my father woke up. I will also punish Cain even if the county family is doomed."

"What are you sorry for? That's a very good judgment. You can't leave the snake strangling. I'll help you, too."

The Countess gritted her teeth as if she had reminded her of Aria who had been falsely accused. She was terrified because she couldn't take a step out of the room.

If Aria had no background, she would be afraid of the Count and his children even though she was the Countess, but Aria had already won numerous supporters and powers, and she even had the Crown Prince on her back.

Therefore, it would be better to trample on them and get the virtue of a grown-up daughter and son-in-law rather than to curry favor with a man who treated her as an ornament.

While Aria and the Countess were resting in the garden, Cain went into the Count's room alone. Cain told the servants, who were massaging the Count's body, to go outside.

"But, but the doctor..."

"I have something to talk to my father for a while, so do it again later."

'Talk to the Count? Is he in a position to talk now?' The servants hesitated to go out, but they still did. He sat by the head of the Count who was staring at him.

"Father."

When he called him, the Count blinked. There was no change in his face, but it was a reaction that seemed to be asking why. At Cain's casual appearance, Cain hesitated a little and then opened his mouth again.

"Mielle... she's in jail now."

Cain's words brought waves back into the Count's eyes. He had thought she might have been punished for pushing him down, but he didn't know she was in jail.

He had just woken up and hadn't heard anything about Mielle. What Mielle had done was a terrible, immoral crime, but it was enough if he dismissed and covered it as an unfortunate incident in the family.

'But prison? Why? Who in the world accused her?' Cain continued to speak as he saw the color of the Count's face becoming black.

"She was... on the charge of trying to kill her father. She's been in trouble because I couldn't get the permission even if I applied for bail. I think... it's because the Crown Prince is involved in the middle."

The Count rolled his eyes when the Crown Prince's name suddenly appeared. It was shocking that Mielle was in prison, but it seemed to ask why even the name of the Crown Prince came out.

"Well, in fact, Aria was driven to the criminal at first. Then the Crown Prince stepped in."

As he was unable to tell the whole truth, he said some parts, taking off their faults, and the Count closed his eyes. It was Mielle who had intentionally taken him to Aria's room, so he seemed to be making a rough guess. There was nothing to benefit from continuing this story, so Cain quickly changed the topic.

"Anyhow, Mielle said she had made a mistake, and she's very worried about you. She cries every day and regrets her mistake. So, please help Mielle.
