98.

The black pupils behind her glasses glinted coldly.

‘I’ve secured the evidence.’

But… this wasn’t enough.

This glass fragment alone couldn’t prove that Violet had harmed Lian.

First, because Isadora had discovered the glass fragment ‘alone.’

If she had found it together with Finn or Heaven right now, it might be different.

But currently, Isadora was by herself.

‘If I report this hastily, I might be accused of fabricating it.’

The possibility was very high.

Yesterday when they were talking at Heaven’s house, Finn had said this.

“No, Dora…”

“…”

“I really tried to listen to what you were saying seriously, you know? But it doesn’t make sense.”

“…”

“That Miss Violet deliberately hurt our former youngest member… Even for you to say this is too much, isn’t it?”

Heaven’s opinion was the same.

“Yeah, that’s right. You’re blaming an innocent person. It’s disrespectful.”

Likewise, it was obvious they wouldn’t believe Isadora’s claims.

And second.

‘If Violet makes excuses, the situation will be resolved instantly.’

At the time of the incident, Violet was in a state of shock, crying and completely out of it.

It was Siena and Isadora who cleaned up the mess in the break room.

“Go out and rest first. We’ll clean up.”

“No! I’ll clean it up. It’s my fault…”

“Go quickly.”

Finn and Heaven took the sobbing girl out with them.

So even if they confronted her, it would be useless.

‘Even if glass fragments came out of her locker, she’d just say ‘I don’t really know’ and shed tears.’

She would shake others’ hearts while pretending to be pitiful.

Because she was wearing the mask of an innocent lamb.

“Hmm.”

If they questioned Violet in the current state, it could instead put Isadora and Siena in trouble.

Unlike Violet, they would have to provide additional explanations.

‘Because they cleaned up the break room.’

Also… because they didn’t have an ‘angelic’ image like Violet.

No matter how much they weren’t the culprits, that was the reality.

“…”

Isadora crossed her arms and stroked her chin.

‘Let’s say the Center Director and I explained well and got off the suspect list.’

Even if Violet became the only suspect…

‘…No, it would be useless.’

She could just make excuses that she had simply found and cleaned up fragments that hadn’t been discovered after the incident.

A quiet sigh escaped from her nostrils again.

“There’s no answer.”

Isadora stared down at the glass fragment for a while, lost in thought.

Then suddenly, a question arose.

“…Huh?”

She immediately bent her knees and sat down.

The glass fragment on the table and Isadora’s face drew closer.

She began to stare intently at it without a word.

“…?”

The glass fragment had an opaque greenish tint.

But…

‘…All the cups at the Center are colorless, transparent glass cups.’

Then where did this sharp fragment of an unfamiliar color come from?

She quickly searched through her memories.

The appearance of the plates and cups in the break room cupboard flashed through her mind.

‘I can’t be wrong.’

Isadora was effectively the youngest member of this Center.

She was the member who frequented the break room most often and did the most dishwashing.

‘Since I usually did it because I couldn’t trust Finn and Heaven.’

That meant…

“…Violet had this broken glass fragment with her from before she even joined the Center.”

Isadora’s brow furrowed deeply.

She had already been suspecting this.

“…And regardless of which of the two cases it was, it’s certain that Violet has a ‘purpose.'”

“…”

“Also… because she had a purpose, there’s a high probability she deliberately hurt our former youngest member.”

This confirmed the hypothesis.

‘She didn’t decide to commit the crime after coming to the Center and seeing our former youngest member.’

Violet had intended to hurt their former youngest member from before coming here.

But why?

‘Why did she deliberately make him bleed?’

She unconsciously touched her own lips.

Isadora’s eyes narrowed even further.

“…”

It was certain that Violet knew Lian’s identity.

‘And…’

Their former youngest member seemed not to feel pain at all.

“Didn’t you know? No… how could you not know when you’re bleeding this much?”

“…”

“Hey? Lian, are you listening?”

Even when Siena pressed him in shock, Lian remained silent.

‘His face showed no pain, and he just stared into space.’

Even when Isadora tightly wrapped the bandage to stop the bleeding, it was the same.

So she thought this.

‘Either he’s insensitive to pain, or he has no sense of pain.’

If not, it wouldn’t make sense that he didn’t let out a single groan in that situation.

Isadora’s eyes flashed coldly.

“…By hurting our former youngest member, she confirmed something.”

This could also connect to this fact.

‘She became certain that Lian de Vicelle was The Prince through his inability to feel pain.’

The thoughts that had been finding their way finally reached their destination.

“…”

Isadora paused for a moment.

Then she reached out her hand.

As she carefully picked up the glass fragment wrapped in the handkerchief, her gaze beyond her glasses became even sharper.

“Violet Bringer…”

The purpose of the stone that had suddenly rolled in was The Prince.

So that’s why they came here, to the Willow Romance Counseling Center.

‘She doesn’t like Lian, she still has feelings for The Prince.’

It was the moment when all the puzzle pieces fell into place.

‘…And.’

She must have been certain that the Second Prince visited the center today.

No matter how shabbily Edel was disguised, he was clearly ‘Edel la Peshirod Carnon’.

Oblivious Siena or Finn and Heaven, who had no interest in royalty, wouldn’t have recognized him.

But he couldn’t fool Isadora’s sharp eyes.

“….”

No, there’s something more important right now.

‘The fact that she didn’t hesitate to hurt someone just to confirm he was The Prince.’

That was Violet’s true nature.

‘What if our youngest wasn’t The Prince?’

If he had been someone who could feel pain.

‘What if it had gone slightly wrong and hit a vital spot….’

What if his life had been in danger.

‘What would she have done then….’

Suddenly, the scene after Lian and Siena left the center flashed through her mind.

Violet had approached Isadora and Heaven, who were cleaning the blood-soaked floor.

“Um…. I want to help too.”

Looking back at the situation, chills suddenly ran down her spine.

‘…She feels no guilt.’

She doesn’t feel it.

‘Whether our youngest gets hurt or not.’

Because all that mattered to her was confirming our youngest’s identity.

“….”

The break room was still quiet.

Though Isadora’s mind was racing.

It seemed like something disguised as an angel had entered the center.

Something evil, not human.

And Isadora thought she had to drive that evil thing out.

***

Willow Manor.

The carriage gradually slowed down and entered through the main gate.

The Aizet Baron’s crest on the carriage body reflected the sunset light with a subtle glow.

Shortly after, Chase got out of the carriage and gestured skillfully.

“This way, Your Highness.”

His steps through the neatly maintained garden were unusually light.

Two figures were following behind him.

Pitt was expected, and even Edel’s shoulders were hunched.

“Pitt, Pitt. This is my first time visiting a noble’s manor. What should I do…?”

“Well… for now, please don’t say anything.”

It was when they reached the entrance of the manor.

Suddenly, a low and rigid voice was heard.

“…Chase.”

Their gaze turned toward the end of the entrance corridor, where it connected to the study.

As expected, Soren was standing there.

Chase waved his hand casually in greeting.

“Oh, brother. How have you been?”

For someone who had barged into the main house with a bunch of strangers in tow, his attitude was very carefree.
