This time her jealousy won over her love.

She didn’t even bother with her ‘coy’ ‘shy’ act.

Huey watched her without responding to her tantrum.

In his silence, the Princess turned red and green and snarled stubbornly.

“I do not like it! I don’t like it!”

“Haa.”

The Princess’s incoherent tantrum was cut off with his long sigh.

The woman, emboiled with her own emotions, suddenly realized the other person’s tiredness and injured pride.

He sat languidly in his chair with his hands hanging down.

It was effective without moving a single muscle.

When she shut her mouth, the man threw a carrot after the whip had struck elegantly.

Huey spoke again in a low soft voice.

“This is my mansion and my jurisdiction. And I don’t like irresponsible behavior. This includes our friendly Julia.”

It was a moderate coercion.

Dissatisfied, Julia was still full of discontent but couldn’t protest further and put her hand on the back of his hand.

After Julia left, Count Kirchner went to his room.

Standing alone, his hand loosening his tie slowed to a stop.
