Edgar gave Antonio a warning.

“Antonio. It looks like Natalia came along too, so be careful not to get caught.”

They could see Natalia dancing drunkenly on the floor.

If loose-lipped Natalia caught them, everyone at the party venue would know within an hour that the two had snuck in.

“If you end up marrying Liliana, you’ll really have to kneel and thank me.”

After grumbling for a moment, Antonio grabbed a passing waiter.

“I heard there’s an actress among the bride’s friends.”

“Ah, you mean that stage actress. She was just as rumored. Really beautiful.”

Antonio smiled happily as if he had been complimented.

Meanwhile, Edgar subtly scanned the men at the party venue.

Fortunately, none seemed to be Lilliana’s type. That’s how it had to be.

“I’d like to get an autograph. Where should I go to see her?”

“Well, I think I saw her going inside earlier.”

“Inside?”

“Try going toward the guest lodging.”

With the waiter’s help, the two headed to the villa where guests were staying.

Since the party was in full swing, not a soul could be seen at the villa.

“What are you planning to say first when you meet Lilliana?”

“That we should clarify our relationship.”

“It’s not exactly an unstable relationship though. Even if there have been a few situations where you worried and got jealous.”

“I want settlement, not just dating.”

Though Andrea had raised her like a father, Lilliana had longed for her parents her whole life.

Edgar wasn’t much different. Since Edgar didn’t have biological siblings like Lilliana, he wanted to marry early and settle down.

Of course, things were stable now, but he couldn’t help the emptiness in one corner of his heart.

“You know what? Sometimes I envy my brothers. They have a home to return to.”

Antonio, who had been watching his embarrassed friend’s profile, bluntly confessed his feelings.

“I envy you for that. You can casually decide to start a family.”

The idea that someone envied him was absurd.

When Edgar looked back, Antonio kept his gaze fixed on the ground and confessed with a click of his tongue.

“I don’t think I’ll ever be able to settle down. What I grew up seeing were irresponsible parents.”

“That’s exactly proof that you’re undervaluing yourself.”

A casual rebuttal came against his deep-rooted negative thinking.

The blazing sunlight felt warm rather than hot.

“I told you before. You’re going to receive a lot of love.”

“I remember.”

“It turned out just as I said. You became close with your sister, you occasionally contact your mother, and everyone in this country wants you.”

His confident friend’s words sometimes became like prophetic signposts.

Antonio had a hunch that what Edgar was about to say would once again dominate his life.

“You’re going to live as a different man from your father. Just like how I live healthily unlike our parents.”

His nose suddenly stung.

Though he wasn’t the type to say embarrassing things, the words he occasionally blurted out gave profound emotion.

Thinking about it again, it seemed like it would be okay to entrust Liliana to Edgar.

‘Is this what it feels like to be an older brother?’

If Lilliana knew, she would be extremely angry.

Eventually, the two finished their conversation and started walking again.

While looking around the lodging area, they ran into Gemma.

“We’re screwed.”

Should he ask for her hands to work so it wouldn’t reach Lilliana’s ears?

He was racking his brains, but the one who actually ran away was Gemma.

“Huh?”

Oh ho. There’s something going on.

Antonio chased Gemma like a predator hunting deer.

When he grabbed her shoulder to stop her, Gemma trembled and was startled.

“Gasp!”

“What is it? Confess honestly.”

“Where’s Lilliana?”

When the two cornered her, Gemma immediately came clean instead of resisting.

Edgar had threatened that if she didn’t speak honestly, he would expose the great sin she and Natalia had committed to the person involved.

Of course, Antonio, the person involved, had no idea it was about him.

“Lilliana just left alone by boat. She had a huge fight with Monica.”

“Monica? Why is she being mentioned?”

“Didn’t you come after hearing from Lilliana? I thought you came to get revenge on Monica.”

It seemed a detailed explanation was needed.

Gemma slightly distanced herself from the two and confessed about the incident that happened an hour ago.

“Lilliana and Monica have been on edge for the past few months. I thought they’d hold back since it’s Arabella’s wedding today, but it exploded during their conversation.”

Her voice, lowered to a whisper, finally revealed the most important situation.

“As a result, Lilliana dragged Monica into the building and started yelling.”

“My goodness, how much did they torment our sweet girl for her to get that angry.”

“Liliana is sweet? Are you serious?”

When Gemma asked back with a serious expression, Antonio tilted his head wondering what the problem was.

Since Antonio was the more fierce and wild one, Lilliana seemed perfectly fine to him.

But to others, Lilliana was by no means an easy-going personality.

Usually she was a lively girl who loved to have fun, but once she got angry, the gatekeeper of hell descended.

It was definitely the influence of her mother who had been a general, or her eldest sister who was handling important state affairs.

Or it could be because of her youngest sister who topped the Ability Research Institute with her skills and temperament.

“If she were really sweet, she wouldn’t have told Monica that if she acted like that, no one would like her.”

“If you have a mouth, you can say that much.”

“Defending your boyfriend. She also said that if Monica caught her eye one more time, she’d learn swordsmanship from Leopold and cut her down.”

“Uh, hmm. Lilliana must be very sensitive these days. She’s not usually like that…”

Edgar immediately changed his stance.

By the way, she doesn’t need to go to Leo hyung, she could just ask me to teach her.

Though Leopold was a specialist, Edgar also possessed skills that weren’t far behind.

His disappointment was brief. First, he checked on his girlfriend’s condition.

“But they didn’t fight roughly, did they?”

“Fortunately, we stepped in and broke it up before that.”

When the anxious Edgar tried to chase after Lilliana, Antonio hurriedly grabbed him.

“Gemma. Why are you being such an amateur? You haven’t revealed the reason. Why did they fight?”

“That’s…”

“I can see your eyes rolling around. Tell us honestly.”

“Sorry. I don’t think I should say this.”

“I’m her brother!”

“Brother my foot. Don’t say weird things and hurry up and chase after Liliana.”

No matter how much Antonio got annoyed, it was useless.

Gemma kept her mouth shut until just before.

On the yacht returning, Antonio grumbled in disgust.

“Why do girls have so many secrets? This is why I don’t date.”

Edgar habitually ignored Antonio’s nonsense.

He suddenly missed Chris. That guy would have worried about Liliana together instead of spouting such nonsense.

Chris had been studying abroad in Trobancha until last year and returned to the Empire at the beginning of this year.

He had earned his degree and secured a quite good position at the Magic Tower.

‘If only at least Helene were here at times like this.’

Helene had finished her successor education and was doing an excellent job as a proxy for her mother, the Countess of Aldrich.

She was such an outstanding talent that Marius seemed to be raising her to assist Edgar when he inherited the throne.

So when Edgar reached his twenties, Helene would naturally become the first female chancellor, which was her goal.

‘I just need to drop out.’

Edgar’s ultimate goal was to live an ordinary and happy life with Lilliana in Trobancha for as long as possible.

He didn’t want to get involved in politics, power, and such matters by returning to the Empire.

“I’ll take my leave now, so go settle things with Lilliana.”

As they returned to shore by yacht, Antonio got off first and declared firmly.

Since Lilliana would surely be at her own house, there was no need for him to stay between the couple any longer.

“Edgar. You don’t need to be too grateful to me.”

His expression was so annoyingly proud that Edgar wanted to grab the guy’s chin and pull it down.

“And I hope things work out well between you and Lilliana.”

I mean it.

The words added in a small voice were layered with countless emotions.

Friendship that began with fistfights, respect for each other, acknowledgment, and so on.

While Chris only met similar people due to his introverted personality, Antonio scrutinized and weighed everything—morality, character, personality, and all aspects.

Since it was sincerity shown by such a person, it came across more seriously than any other words.

“As you said, we’ll live different lives from our parents, so you’ll be fine.”

After strangely moving people, Antonio left as if nothing had happened.

Edgar fidgeted with the ring case he had tucked in his chest and immediately ran off.

Soon he knocked on the gate of Lilliana’s house.

Since he could sense movement, he entered without needing to wait any longer.

Finally, he was able to meet Lilliana.
