I Won't Accept Your Regrets

Chapter 57

"But where is Carlisle?"

"Ah... Carlisle and Helen are in a safe place. And you don't need to worry about that person in the courtroom, Lumont is yours."

"Ellie."

"What?"

"I insist that you immediately flee the empire. Of course, you now have great power in your hands... But if you start a fight for the throne here, everything will fly in the wind."

Initially, I thought of leaving immediately after the verdict was announced.

But... after what I saw today, I now consider it impossible.

It would have been a burden for my father to deal with the conspirators alone. Unlike my father, the Marquis of Sios does not disdain any methods.

"...I'll stay here a little longer."

"What if Carlisle is found?"

"Even so, I've already taken some measures. So dad, don't worry about me and get well."

Taking a deep breath, my father looked out the window and said:

"...But the emperor has already been informed that you are here."

"And maybe... he'll be on our doorstep soon."

By this minute you have already learned everything from the Marquis Paren.

"His Majesty has been looking for you for almost 7 years. He..."

My father suddenly froze, but soon opened his mouth again.

"Ellie, I hope you know your way to happiness."

"Of course."

The moment I smiled at my worried father, I saw our gate open.

A man on a black horse was rushing to the mansion.

"...Raymond."

I went to the lobby alone.

And as soon as I came down, Raymond's black horse stopped in front of the door.

In his frantic haste, he jumped off his horse and darted inside.

He burst into the room with tangled hair and a gaping anxious face.

When I met him, as the protocol dictates, all his impulses stopped for a moment.

Back on the ship, I was worried that if I met him again, my heart would be shaken.

After that, I accidentally met him twice, but my heart was pounding endlessly only from the fear of being caught.

However, now, when I looked at him, peace reigned over my heart.

"Hail His Majesty the Emperor, Empire Sun."

My voice rang out in the lobby.

"Get up."

When I raised my eyes and looked at him, I felt in him a longing mixed with anxiety.

Wow. I used to always look at him that way.

"Ellie..."

He hugged me, saying my name in a trembling voice.

It was a gentle hug, as if he never even wanted to let me go.

He hung on me, but I just could not reciprocate.

I pushed him hard.

Such a harsh gesture stunned him. He stared stupidly in my direction with still trembling eyes.
