“No, I'm sorry. I’ve done a lot of disrespect. Please forgive me.”
Grand Duke Youthnan bowed his head and disappeared.

'What?'
Juwell frowned.
'There is no way he noticed my identity, right?'

No there is no way.

Juwell was much more higher than Grand Duke Youthnan when it come to the ‘light’ and ‘darkness’ classes alone. So if he doesn’t witness her use her magic himself, he won’t be able to notice her true nature.

Then, a loud bell rang out in the hall. It was the sound of the beginning of a full-fledged farewell service.

* * *

“How is it Your Highness?”
Asked the Count Median.

Grand Duke Youthnan answered while touching his glasses.
“Well I’m not too sure.”

“.…You don’t now about it? Aren’t you using the ‘judgement eyes’, sir?”

Judgement Eyes.

It has the ability to play a role similar to the 'Watcher's Eye' of demons.

“Even with the Judgement Eyes, I couldn't feel her magic at all.”

"Then...."

“But I don't know exactly. If she is a great devil, then she can even deceive the Judgement Eyes. Aren't they the ones who can disguise themselves as saints of light?”

Count of Median was silenced. He think it's too much to worry. There was little chance that such a dark existence would appear on earth.

"And also..."
Grand Duke Youthnan blurred the end of his words.

"Your Highness?"

“No, it’s nothing.”

Grand Duke Youthnan shook his head.

'I don't know if this is the case.'

The moment he face Juwell. He felt like he couldn't understand.

Throbbing.

He felt the pain as if his heart was being cut with a knife.

‘Why?’

Grand Duke Youthnan did not understand the feelings he felt.

Why is it hurt?
He thought it was an illusion, but it wasn't. Even now, terrible pain remained in the heart as if stigmatized.

'What is this?'

Grand Duke Youthnan once again looked at Juwell. The moment he saw her expressionless face, his heart was throbbing again.

‘.….I can’t understand this.’

Looking at her more, he thought he couldn't stand the fluctuation of emotions, so he turned around.

"... Anyway, We have to look closely at Lady Juwell for the time being."

“Yes, I will.”



Then, the full-scale farewell service began. The chant of the priests resonated more magnificently.

Everyone sat in the designated seat and silently sat down.

The Duke of Wellington, representing the temple, appeared on the podium and solemnly proclaimed the story of blessing.

“His Majesty Thorn is a great giant who opened a new era, and today he is advancing into the arms of the great light...”

The members of the Garnet family, including Juwell, knelt in front of them wearing black robes and listened to the story of the blessing.
