I would be more than happy to stick my neck out, but I could not tolerate insults from my mother.

The prince's eyes flashed with disgust.

"You dare to grab my wrist? In front of everyone?"

I wanted to cut off this hand for him, but he pulled away.

So far, I have not had the strength to resist the crown prince.

I pulled back and bowed my head.

"Please stop."

A cruel laugh echoed overhead.

"What do you mean? Stay? You might think I'm doing something terrible. It's just one of a thousand things that don't concern you in any way."

Raymond's eyes flashed with fire. But at that moment, my mother grabbed his hand.

Please be patient.

My mother knelt down and banged her head on the floor.

"Please, it's my fault."

"If this happens again, I'll be the fourth for you."

"I am guilty, I was not taught manners. Never again, I will never do that again."

The mother begged for mercy, her head lowered to the floor.

I've been insulted a lot before, but I've never been so angry.

I rather wanted to cut the prince's neck, even if I myself died here.

I was so obsessed with my anger that I could not keep my excited mother from confronting the servant.

I was awakened by the sound of breaking glass. The prince's clothes and shoes were already stained with wine.

Before even realizing what had happened, the prince flushed.

"This crazy bitch! What audacity! Take her to the scaffold!"

The knights grabbed the mother by the arms and led her away. I wanted to stop it, but in my sleep I couldn't help it.

"Stop right now!"

"Oh, do you want to die together? So even better. I will kill you right here."

The prince drew his sword. The moment he lifted it up, silver hair appeared in front of me.

At the moment when no one would come to the rescue, fearing the prince's anger, Ellie jumped between us.

"Even though you are the crown prince, you cannot judge the royal family. Please calm down, sir."

Ellie didn't run away despite the prince's aggression.

He could not afford to touch the Count's daughter, so the prince threw down his sword.

For that, Ellie turned and walked away.

A nightmare that I dreamed dozens of times.

The situation soon changed and I heard my mother's obituary.

Her body had to be reassembled piece by piece.

I couldn't even say goodbye.

The mother, who lived only for me alone, died such a death.

Raymond screamed desperately.

"Ellie..."

Crying, he clung to her.

And then he made a vow.

"I will never again lose this precious warmth that is next to me."

Just as his heart was about to break, Raymond opened his eyes.
