Evelynn sat in the dark carriage with a confused mind.

It has lost its light and freedom in just a few months.

My doctor said that if I continued treatment, I would be able to live indoors without a blackout curtain, but the treatment was only slow.

It was still difficult to live indoors without blackout curtains.

Moreover, not long after he became ill, an accident occurred in a mine owned by the family.

The collapse of the tunnel was an accident that had never happened even when my grandfather was there or even after my father came to California.

There were many casualties, and the losses were considerable.

People were envious and jealous of Peyton, who had made his fortune in the mines and held power as the head of the eastern region.

In particular, the blunt and upright character of the Peytons often caused misunderstandings among people.

So people preferred the gentle and sociable Duke of Shabini to the hard Peyton.

A series of misfortunes have occurred in such Peyton, so I can't help but be in the ranks of luxury sagas.

<How far will Payton's fall go?>

<Does the scale eventually lean towards Shabini? Where did the Crown Prince choose?>

<The misfortune of the promising successor.>

<Will Princess Peyton, whose wing is broken, give up like this?>

Every day, articles about Peyton appeared with provocative titles.

They arbitrarily put Lillian and herself on the candidates for the Crown Princess and compared them, and now they were even questioning her qualifications as the heir to the family.

'It can't be like this.'

I can't wait until it's completely finished.

My father said it would get better with time, but he never let go.

<If you do not find the true owner of the source of the minerals, you will lose everything.>

Because of my trust.

It seems like all these incidents and accidents are all my fault.

"Sigh."

A heavy sigh escaped Evelynn's mouth.

It was so miserable that he couldn't even pull up these blackout curtains, let alone get out of the wagon.

Then there was a knock on the carriage door.

"Evelynn, it's me."

"Caleb?"

You just broke up, so why did you come back?

"Can I come in for a second?"

"Oh, wait a minute."

Evelynn quickly covered her eyes with an eye patch.

This was because the light came in when the door was opened, and the blackout curtain had to be partially rolled up when talking to other people.

It wasn't enough to cover it up with an eye patch, so it was still and quiet as if I was alone in the dark with my eyes closed.

I was afraid when I couldn't see anything like this.

Because it's defenseless.

It was truly terrifying to not be able to respond or defend in a situation where you never know when, where, where, what kind of threat will come.
