Becoming The Villain's Family

Chapter 116

Gabriel let out a deep, silent sigh and looked towards the main palace.

He couldn’t concentrate at all. Be it prayer or practice.

It has been like that ever since he was told that Aria had returned to the castle, collapsed and lost her consciousness.

‘No, actually, it was before that.’

The longer the Grand Prince and Princess went to the Imperial Palace and stayed in the capital, the more Gabriel felt the vacancy.

He had no choice but to. Ever since he came to the Grand Duke’s castle, he never not prayed with Aria.

‘I can’t even visit…….’

Gabriel realized his position anew.

In the meantime, he could always be by Aria’s side because Aria came to him without hesitation.

Because he was only an apprentice. He wouldn’t have had a chance to meet her if Aria didn’t come to see him, except if he passed by and ran into her.

‘Why did you collapse?’

‘Are you still very sick?’

‘Are you awake? Could it be that you are still unconscious? It’s been three days.’

‘I wonder if you were injured so badly that you couldn’t move.’

‘Is that why you can’t even come to pray….?’

Gabriel opened his closed eyes. His thoughts kept running through his head, and he could hardly continue his prayers.

‘Please be safe.’

The end of his prayer was always to pray for Aria’s safety.

Gabriel looked at the rustling key from his arms without saying a word. Before Aria left for the Imperial Palace, she gave him the key to the prayer room through the servant. It was a consideration for Gabriel, who was deeply religious, and it was proof that she could now trust him with the key to the prayer room.

But he rather…….

‘…… I didn’t want to receive it.’

Gabriel realized why he didn’t feel happy when the keys were first handed over to him. If he receives this, his connection with Aria will completely disappear.

‘Can we meet after you wake up?’

The place where Aria stayed was the main palace.

Gabriel couldn’t even come close to the main palace. So, if she doesn’t come out of the palace, he’ll just pass by and not even be able to run into her.

‘Aren’t you coming to pray now?’

The moment he received the key, he had such a feeling. Perhaps it will be difficult to see the Grand Princess again in the future.

Gabriel, clutching the key, exited the prayer room and headed for his room.

The communication device in one corner of the room was ringing.

It was from Veronica. Gabriel was tired today, but he faithfully contacted her.

“…Saint.”

– Long time no see, Sir Knight.

Veronica, beyond the video, greeted him with a gentle smile as usual.

– I’ve finally been assigned to the Fineta branch’s Great Temple, Sir Knight. Aren’t you coming to see me?

“Ah…….”

Gabriel followed her, smiling and trying to avoid her gaze as if embarrassed.

“I’m sorry, Saint. I can’t leave Valentine until the purification has come to an end.”
