"Sorry. No body found."
The knight knelt down with a face of shame. Kiern looked at the knight with empty eyes.
Ten days have passed since Elizabeth committed suicide. Kiern sneered at himself as he thought of Elizabeth, who had disappeared into the vast sea.
Didn't want to be with him even after he died? Despite searching and searching, Elizabeth's body was nowhere to be found.
I saw him fall, but no one saw him come out, and no one found the body. It was Elizabeth who had completely disappeared from this world.
"ha ha ha."
The knight flinched and trembled at the sound of the young duke's mad laughter. It was because the duke, who seemed strangely calm, let out a gloomy laugh.
No. The only thing that seemed calm was his expression. The duke had been addicted to alcohol since Elizabeth's death.
Rumors were already circulating in the social world that the young duke had gone mad. And the rumor was not false in the gentleman's opinion.
"Find it. Unless you want that neck to fall off."
At the silent warning, the knight gulped and gulped. At this rate, the beheading would be in the not too distant future.
It was the time of such a stifling confrontation. The savior appeared with a bang. Abigail winked at the knight and waved him back.
As the knight bolted, Abigail's mouth dropped open.
"I don't think the dead come back to life just because they harass the knights."
"I don't know if I'm still alive."
"Yes. I don't know. You may never know. The sea is such a place. Stop looking for bodies now."
Abigail responded angrily. It was because she was already at her limit.
Kiern Agafel's fall was really easy and simple. I quickly abandoned all my duties when only one of my lovers died and I couldn't even find her body.
what a stupid man
The seat next to Kierne Argafel was no longer attractive. If you do this, you will be treated like the poor fiancée of a mad duke.
Abigail couldn't understand Kiern, who was pretending not to know what was obvious to others.
Even if you search the entire vast sea, you won't find a body. Because the sea is connected to the sea.
It could have been turned into fish food and gone by now. Although he should have known, he was acting like a jerk, and now he was getting angry.
“Elizabeth Lua is dead. I heard that you saw it with your own eyes that day.
Kiern looked coldly at Abigail, who took Elizabeth's death for granted.
He knows it too. That Elizabeth is not coming back.
That he hates his side so much that he would throw himself in front of me.
I knew it, but I couldn't admit it. It was because he thought that he would not be able to bear Elizabeth's absence once he admitted it.
“People are whispering. Keep your chest tight. Everybody says you're crazy.
"It's a body ache."
“Only a government is dead. If it is so difficult, even to create a new government… … .”
Clink-!
Kiern, unable to hear Abigail, knocked over the vase. The flower that hit the wall and shattered was a red rose. Knowing what that meant gave Abigail goosebumps.
"What is this?"
"Go out. As you said, I really went crazy-"
Kierne smiled and moved closer to her. Abigail hesitated and took a step back. There was something dangerous in his eyes.
By the time Abigail's back hit the door. Kiern muttered coldly as she pushed the doorknob.
"I could kill you right now for being so annoying, right?"
The blue eyes shone terribly. Like I really wanted to do it like I said. Overwhelmed by those eyes, Abigail tried with all her might to make a weak protest.
"Look, duke."
But it didn't work for the duke. Kierne grabbed Abigail's shoulder and pushed her away.
"Out, right now."
After that, Abigail was thrown out terribly. Abigail fell to the ground and laughed.
As rumored, Kiern was losing his mind.

Despite Kiern's sincere wishes, the search for Elizabeth's body had to come to a halt. Not only did it no longer have any meaning, but it was because the artifacts were found in the sea.


I better stop now. Not a corpse will remain.


About a month after the search, Eddie handed over the rosary and earnestly asked for it. The only trace that remained of Isabel was the rosary.
Kiern clutched the rusty white rosary in her hand. It was Elizabeth's kick throughout the party. It was also hanging from his neck at the time he fell.
well done
The sound of the pearls rolling in his large hands could still be heard. The color had faded because it had been left for a month. Perhaps Elizabeth's corpse is no different.
Kierne had no choice but to admit it. Elizabeth Luna is dead. in front of me too.
You will never see Elizabeth again. All their smiles and all their tears.
"low."
Kiern leaned forward as if collapsing in a shallow stream of arsenic. Seeing him anxiously holding the rosary with both hands seemed like he was praying.
I can't leave like this. I can't send it like this. but i have to send it
Kierne felt that she had lost her way in life. I was mad at myself for thinking I was foolishly wasting a precious person.
Soon it was Elizabeth's funeral. I didn't want to, but Eddie stood his ground. He was probably afraid that the owner would go crazy forever if he didn't put a point.
But funeral or no funeral, Kierne didn't feel like she could lead a normal life. I felt like my breathing was tighter than when my mother died, no, even tighter than then.
Unlike then, the one who messed up the job this time was himself. Kierne couldn't forgive herself.
He was the idiot who realized the value only after losing it. Elisabeth's traces left here and there drove Kiern mad.
It was already autumn. After the autumn rain, the streets gave off a very lonely atmosphere.
On the other hand, it was also a prosperous season that reminded me of a girl looking for pretty maple leaves to make a bookmark.
Elisabeth stayed like air in all of Kiern's seasons. There were things that reminded me of her even though I knew she was dead and gone.
That drove Kierne crazy. Because he was the one who took away her freedom, took away her happiness and ended up taking her own life.
Why did I know now? At least it was too late.
Kierne committed an unforgivable sin against Elizabeth. Actually, he just wanted Elizabeth not to leave.
Obsessed with a relationship that led to a bad relationship, Kiern had been ignoring the chance to look into his heart, and the result was disastrous.
It was a time when I was so terrible that I couldn't stand it. Abigail came with a bang and a hard face. Kiern didn't even look at her.
Abigail quietly approached the man, ignoring me. His face was as hard as Kiern's.
It wasn't just because of Kiern. Recently, Abigail had been in pain similar to Kiern's and was speechless.
In the current war with the Melcans, the Yerchen Kingdom was suffering a series of defeats. It was an unexpected defeat and the war escalated.
The Melcans' new leader, Shaman, must have been a great tactician, but the momentum was in the Melcans' favor. So the area where James was located did not escape the war.
