Oh, poor Rudbeckia. Poor Angel of Sistine.

 

“You don’t know?”

 

“Put yourself in my shoes and think. Isn’t it only natural for me to not know?”

 

“Bullsh*t! There’s no way you didn’t know!”

 

This was hilarious. This was spectacular, actually.

 

I stopped smiling and crinkled my nose, hoping the disgust was evident on my face.

 

Cesare, grinding his teeth and roughly sweeping his hair back, clearly reeled in his feelings and grabbed my shoulder. “We don’t have the time to sit idle and talk here. Let’s continue this while on our way.”

 

“Where are we going?”

 

“What do you mean where? Home. We’re leaving and going back home.”

 

What the hell was wrong with his head? What kind of nonsense was this?

 

“You’re going to kidnap me and get on a ship that’s been prepared in advance?”

 

He didn’t even blink as I correctly guessed all of his plans. “Yes.”

 

“Are you drunk? This is not Romagna! Do you think that’s possible? Everyone will catch you immediately—”

 

“Don’t worry, by the time we depart, everyone will be preoccupied with something else. Come on, we’re running out of time.”

 

He had slid his hand down my shoulder to my wrist, trying to drag me out of the room. So I dug my feet into the ground and shook off this madman’s touch.

 

He turned back around, perplexed and eyes wide, his hair fluttering in the wind.

 

Although Cesare was insane, he was not such a fool for his plans to be sloppily made. No, Cesare’s plans always showed results.

 

In other words, he would definitely get me to the Port of Elmos and on that ship no matter how much I struggled, and he would definitely have the whole of Elendale distracted.

 

What could it be? What would have the whole capital city of Britannia in such a state on this happy day?

 

Hurry up and think! Think about everything that’s happened!

 

Pietro’s beastly face flashed before my eyes.

 

The disturbances that took place while I was staying in Elendale also flashed by.

 

Two incidents that were completely unrelated intertwined and merged together in my mind, and then I came to the horrifying realization of what he would do.

 

Because there was only one thing the entirety of the capital could be distracted by.

 

It wasn’t something any ordinary man could do.

 

However, if it was Cesare… Plus all of the powerful cardinals and Romagnian loyalists disguised as priests staying in the city right now… Everyone hiding and waiting in the streets and around the palace…

 

Judging by the looks of him, it had probably already begun.

 

I tried to calm down my heaving chest.

 

Calm down. Even if Elendale goes up in flames, you can’t stop it anyway. You have to proceed as planned…
