Chapter 30. Hunting a cornered rat. (4)
A few days ago, after the magic tower lord Midnell declared war on the imperial family.
“ha.”
Princess Violet walked away with a bored expression on her face.
“It’s boring, it’s boring.”
Lately, she has been living with these words on her lips.
Especially after Emperor Theodore aimed his sword at the Ardante family. The imperial family began financial management to supply military supplies.
Thanks to this, not only was his extravagant lifestyle put on hold, but he was also unable to operate the casino he frequented every day.
The atmosphere in the capital was also chaotic.
This is because many of the nobles rebelled against the emperor and cooperated with the Ardante family.
As a result, the dances and tea parties that had been going on steadily came to an end. All the noble ladies chose to quietly stay in the mansion.
“You look like a crazy guy… … .”
Princess Violet frowned as she thought of Cain.
‘I will take care of you from now on. Please grant permission.’
The straight, handsome face that reminded me of him when he looked at me. I thought he was a very honest and upright person.
“I never thought it would change like this… … .”
Princess Violet clicked her tongue. After all, people should not be judged solely by their appearance.
As soon as I thought of that,
‘Because every time you do that, you’ll remember that I gave it to you.’
Abel’s narrow, curved eyes came to mind.
“Hmm, hmm.”
Princess Violet shook her head and chased away his afterimage. She tried to concentrate on the jewels sparkling brightly around her.
“I can’t believe I just have to look at these pretty things.”
The accessories on Vitoria’s top surprisingly fit the princess’s taste.
If possible, she wanted to hire a craftsman under her exclusive control.
‘They say they don’t blink under any conditions.’
Many merchants have already sent love calls to the Vitoria merchant’s craftsmen. But the craftsman stood firm and unwavering.
Challang-
Princess Violet unconsciously touched the earrings on the end of her ears. She crafted sapphires that were exactly the color of my eyes.
‘I received a request from Vittoria. He said he really wanted to present the truth to Princess Violet.’
At that time he said this: It was as if I had received a request from the top of Vittoria.
“joy. “The craftsman is my fan?”
Princess Violet did not believe that.
Jerk, jerk.
The sound of someone’s footsteps got closer and closer.
“The princess.”
Princess Violet looked back at the guard knight’s call.
“Meet Princess Violette.”
A woman with gorgeous blonde hair bent down and lifted herself up.
“hmm.”
Princess Violet nodded lightly to receive the greeting.
‘Sangsangjuro.’
This young merchant had excellent business acumen and knew how to please Princess Violet.
There were more than a few times when I came with the intention of just sightseeing with a light heart, but returned heavily after filling up the wagon.
“Are there any new products?”
“Not today.”
Princess Violet was quite familiar with the merchant. It wasn’t just that she visited this place often.
‘The woman whom Abel appointed as his maid.’
Luckily, she was cured of Crudelle’s disease and was sobbing, but now she was proudly leading the Vittoria troupe.
All these circumstances point to one conclusion.
“The master wants to see you.”
The words that flowed from the Sangsanju’s mouth were what Princess Violet had been waiting for for a long time.
‘I can finally see the owner’s face.’
Princess Violet nodded straight away without hesitation.
“Take the lead.”
And then he started climbing the stairs, following behind the merchant.
Again, again.
In the meantime, Vitoria Sangsang welcomed big-name guests in a private room on the second floor.
However, today Princess Violet was guided to the third floor.
“This place… … .”
When Princess Violet gave her a look, the owner of the upper chamber bowed his head.
“The princess will be the first and last guest to visit here.”
“Hmm, I see.”
Just before entering the room at the end of the hallway, Sang Sang-ju stopped walking.
“Excuse me, but I said only the princess should be allowed in this room.”
“what? but… … .”
Princess Violet raised her hand to stop the guard knight who was about to get angry.
“I’m going in alone.”

“Princess Violet!”
The escort knight’s face turned pale. He knew very well how those who had been in the position before him had been fired.
“If you’re that worried, stand in front of this room. “Wouldn’t that work?”
“yes… … .”
The escort driver stood next to the door with a tearful expression on his face. He knew that he could not break Princess Violette’s stubbornness, so he was quick to give up.
“then… … .”
The merchant knocked on the door and spoke inside.
“Master, I have brought you Princess Violet.”
She opened the door straight away without waiting for an answer from inside.
“Please come in.”
Princess Violet entered the room with her head held high.
In front of a huge glass window with a panoramic view of the capital city of Maggiore, in front of a table made of high-quality mahogany.
“Long time no see.”
The very person that Princess Violet had expected was sitting there.
“Abel Ovest Kindreal.”
Princess Violet muttered his name in a whisper.
“how are you.”
Abel immediately stood up and approached her. After lightly kissing the back of Princess Violet’s hand,
“Please sit this way.”
He guided her to the sofa. And she sat down opposite her.
“… … .”
All this time, Princess Violet’s eyes never left Abel.
“Why are you doing that?”
Abel, feeling the persistent gaze, chuckled.
“It’s been a while since I last saw you and you still look handsome?”
“no it’s not?”
“Is that so?”
Despite Princess Violet’s sharp response, Abel just laughed.
“I guess you liked the earrings. “You do this often.”
“… … joy.”
As Princess Violet’s momentum calmed down a bit, Abel slowly opened his mouth.
“Anyway, it’s a bit surprising. “I thought you would be surprised to see me.”
Princess Violet brushed away a few strands of hair that had fallen from her face with a nonchalant expression.
“I guessed that the real owner was at the top of Vitoria.”
“Hoo, really?”
“Of course I knew it was you.”
“You’re quick-witted.”
Princess Violet accepted Abel’s compliment calmly.
“You didn’t leak it on purpose so people would notice?”
Somehow, I had the feeling that he had deliberately exposed information to me.
“Actually, if you didn’t know, you would be disappointed.”
As expected, Abel shrugged his shoulders and revealed his true feelings.
“You’ve been quiet so far, so I was wondering if you really didn’t know.”
He leaned over the table between them.
“Why have you been silent until now? “You could have spread the word about it in social circles.”
Abel’s blue-violet eyes glowed dangerously.
“-!”
At that moment, Princess Violet felt a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.
The tension I felt before playing the last card in a high-stakes gamble. But it is darker than that, and the sensation is much more breathtaking.
That was emanating from Abel in front of me.
“… … .”
Princess Violet lightly licked her lips with the tip of her tongue.
Warning lights were going off in my head. At the same time, my intuition whispered secretly.
A critical moment is just around the corner.
“… … “It’s probably the same reason you called me here.”
Princess Violet leaned over the table. In an instant, the distance between the two became closer.
“That’s why I was the only one to call you quietly now that all the nobles’ attention is gone.”
There was a short silence.
Princess Violet witnessed Abel’s smile slowly change.
“haha.”
Abel laughed out loud and stepped back. She had a light-hearted, yet satisfied face.
“Since you understand everything, the conversation will be quick.”
He intertwined his fingers and placed them on his legs.
“I would like to make a suggestion to Her Highness Princess Violet.”
It was a very arrogant tone to call it a suggestion.
“What?”
“I won’t say it’s a good offer like some people say.”
Abel added with a sly smile.
“But it would be a very important proposal. Especially to Her Majesty Princess Violet.”
The air around Abel gradually subsided. I began to feel a strange chill coming from him.
“Her Royal Highness is currently on a very dangerous ship.”
“… … .”
“Half of the boat is burning with flames that cannot be extinguished even when water is poured on it. “Maybe it will spread all over the ship.”
“… … .”
“The problem is, not even heaven will help this ship.”
Abel’s voice became much heavier.
“Because heaven decided to abandon the captain of the ship.”
“… … Abel.”
Princess Violet’s face hardened.
“Am I understanding this correctly? “Are you saying this to me, who clearly knows who the captain of this ship is?”
“I’m just telling you what I heard.”
Abel responded with a calm face.
“Because the Black Knight secretly conveyed the saint’s oracle to me.”
Princess Violet tightened her mouth in embarrassment.
“trust… … “What?”
“The Impero royal family’s fortune has come to an end. “That was the key.”
The color drained from Princess Violet’s face. She slid her body onto her sofa.
“That’s ridiculous.”
“It might be hard to believe, but it’s true.”
Abel lowered his grave voice.
“If even the sky abandons the captain, the ship will eventually be engulfed in fire and sink.”
“ah… … !”
Princess Violet tightly grasped the armrests of the sofa. Beautiful purple eyes shook dangerously.
“Well, then…” … !”
What should I do?
As soon as I mutter the question,
“That is why I am offering this proposal to Her Majesty the Princess.”
Abel’s drowsy voice was heard. It was as if she was answering her own question.
“How about appointing a new captain?”
Princess Violet’s face hardened fiercely.
“Abel, you.”
Although Abel was prone to making arrogant remarks, this was the first time he crossed the line like today.
“Is that what you want to say now? How dare I, Violette Maggiore Impero?”
“Ah, you mean that fake family name?”
Despite Princess Violet’s voice sounding like it was being chewed, Abel just continued speaking leisurely.
“What the surname Impero guarantees the princess is only a comfortable and luxurious life.”
“… … .”
“Even like this, if the boat seems to be tilting, it will be thrown away.”
Abel’s words cut straight to the point.
Even while Emperor Theodore was thoroughly hiding himself in the imperial palace and strengthening its defenses, Princess Violet was able to come and go outside at her leisure.
“Isn’t a successor without the right to succession something like that?”
Even if something happens to Princess Violet, she poses no threat to Emperor Theodore.
“I-I…” … .”
Princess Violet’s lips trembled slightly.
She also knew. She realized that there was not even a grain of wheat between her and the emperor.
The princesses under Emperor Theodore were merely beautiful flowers to decorate the imperial palace.
If you take good care of it, you can sell it at a high price.
“Oh, by the way, you know that, right?”
Abel was cruelly bringing to the surface and digging into facts that had been ignored and ignored.
“That unquenchable flame covets Princess Violet so much.”
“… … .”
“I don’t know. Now the captain of the ship may offer the princess as her sacrifice to the Flame.”
“stop!”
Princess Violet distorted her face.
“How can you say such horrible things? “You know how much I hate Cain!”
In an instant, Abel’s face changed strangely.
He looked at Princess Violet for a moment as if it was something new, then took his eyes off and spoke.
“That won’t happen if we have a new captain at the wheel.”
Abel’s voice became deeper and deeper, transforming into a tone that seemed to captivate people.
“How about becoming a navigator to assist the captain?”
“mate… … Called?”
“yes. Of course, it will be called by a different name in the world. for example… … .”
Abel held his chin and tilted his head slightly.
“Grand Duke Violette. How is it?”
“… … .”
“The princess’s name will be engraved into the first family’s name.”
Princess Violet’s complexion changed. She rolled out the words she had just heard in her mouth.
“Violet… … grandee.”
“It’s a much better ending than being erased from history.”
Princess Violet was deep in thought. Then she suddenly raised her head and stared at her Abel.
“So who is the new captain?”
Abel grinned as if he had been waiting for that question.
“Are you asking the obvious?”
He raised his finger and pointed at himself.
“It’s me, Abel Ovest Kindreal.”
