Archduke Hissen, Damon, as soon as he got into the carriage, buried his face in his hands.

The emotions that I had been holding down in front of Angelina came out all at once like an explosion.

It felt like my heart was being ripped apart.

A moan of pain escaped between the fingers that buried his face.

I wanted to spit out this pain while weeping, but my eyes, which had dried up a long time ago, were still dry.

"Isabel."

A burning call fluttered in the air like ashes.

She endured all these long years by looking at only her.

Even if I couldn't get it back, if I could see even a healthy and alive figure, I thought this empty and wretched heart would be filled.

I thought that if I bowed down at her feet and apologized, I would be able to get rid of this pain as sharp blades cut through my heart.

It became a wish that could never come true.

Because I couldn't keep my promise. Because I don't know anything like an idiot. I couldn't even protect her because of my incompetence.

The broad shoulders could not bear the heavy remorse like a mountain and collapsed.

Damon struggled with the loss of his beloved until the unmarked carriage stopped in front of the old inn.

"Lord."

A harsh voice mingled with iron was heard from beyond the door.

Then Damon raised his head.

Within a few dozen minutes, his still dry face had turned into a barren wasteland.

He put on the robe he had prepared and put on a hood.

After getting off the carriage, he got on the horse he had left at the inn.

At Damon's signal, the horse sprinted out, followed by Chad and his companions on horseback.

They arrived in a log cabin on the outskirts of the zodiac on Mount Hillea.

Damon did not build a mansion on the ecliptic. It wasn't because I didn't have money.

It was because the empress and the first prince were fed up with the checks and surveillance, and he did not want to visit the place where the imperial palace was located.

It was this log house where he stayed whenever he lived in the zodiac.

As soon as Damon entered the log cabin, he floundered into the armchair without taking off his robe.

Instead, Chad opened a window to let the air in.

He also instructed his colleagues to check the surroundings.

When it was all done, Damon slowly opened his eyes.

"Chad."

"Yes, my lord."

Chad approached quickly and knelt in front of Damon.

"I have to plant people in the Imperial Palace."

There was no change in Chad's expression as if he was a trained stinger, but inside, he was puzzled.

The master has not paid any attention to anything related to him since he left the imperial family.

Why would someone who didn't even pay attention to the Imperial Palace monitor the Imperial Palace?

The answer to the question came right away.
