Violetta looked at Terzo, suspicious of whether there might be any other ones.
However, Terzo was also a member of Kalykia with the Eye of Truth.
So Violetta couldn't measure his sincerity right now.
It was the same for the child, so she looked at Terzo and Violetta alternately with tears dripping with confused and anxious eyes.
Kalykia's eyes were uncomfortable at this time. There was really no way to determine the truth between them.
Eventually, Violetta opened her mouth with a repressed breath.
"Then I'd rather take it myself. My brother stays here."
"You're going alone? I don't think you're going to take the treasure of Kalykia into the hands of an outsider. Are you going to hold a child with that thin arm? Even so, it is natural for me to accompany you. Do you know the dangers outside of sending you and your child alone?"
Terzo spoke in a firm tone that felt even strict.
But Violetta was doing this because she didn't want to have him with her right now.
She repressed her feelings, which began to boil cold in her, barely swallowing her hearty words that were about to spew out of her mouth.
She then commanded, in her subdued voice to her maid standing by her door.
"There's still going to be Bergett's chief in the parlor. Bring him."
At that moment, Terzo's face changed.
A bluish chill was young on his face, whose emotions were washed away.
"ㆍㆍㆍEventually, Axion Bergetra again. Should I say it's you?"
Two pairs of chilled eyes met in the air.
"Wouldn't it be a hundred times better to believe in the king of Bergett than to believe in you, the individual of the elders?"
The voice of Violetta, who killed the sound so that the child could not hear it, shattered Terzo and passed by.
Violetta added in a quieter voice towards Terzo, who is wearing her face with her warmth drained.
"As you said, the most important thing now is the stability of the child. So it's better for both of us to do this. The child is anxious."
Terzo said nothing more.
However, his eyes stared at the Violetta tightly until a knock was heard outside the door.
She is smart.
Finally, Axion arrived.
"I heard that you called meㆍㆍㆍ but you weren't alone."
When he saw Violetta and Terzo together, he looked like he knew.
It wasn't once or twice that there had been a disagreement between the two, and it was because the atmosphere around them was very cold now.
Whenever the two were like this, Axion used to ignore me as if I didn't know it, with his peculiar carelessness and coldness, but now he hasn't.
As Axion entered the room, he glanced at the child in the corner once.
Soon, a bloody change of emotion came to his eyes.
For some reason, I thought this situation wasn't just annoying to him.
"I'm thinking of going to Inoaden with Terzo and my child. It's a day earlier than expected, but I called to ask if you'd like to accompany you."
I also liked Axion's comments as Violetta added.
Of course, she and Terzo didn't want to go out with the child, so she took advantage of him.
However, Axion decided to just tune in with it for now.
"It's not bad. So, what I have to do first is to tell the child the plan??"
Violetta affirmed with a brief nod.
Terzo was silent without refuting.
Right now, they couldn't reassure the child by showing their true feelings, and anyway, Axion was a trusted outsider enough to ask himself to find the treasure of Kalykia.
Axion's steps were taken away from the door.
He saw the child crouching on the bed and did not get closer than necessary.
Stopped at a distance of about five steps, Zion, the good and the evil, leaned over to meet the eye level with the child.
"Isn't it the contents of the conversation next to you?"
Dark green eyes that were wet with tears and calm blue eyes glanced at each other.
"The person I saw in the basement, Hilise Inoaden. I'm thinking of taking you to the place where she is right now."
The child's eyes were fixed in the clear eyes that were revealed under his dark hair.
Kiiing.
The pupil constricted by itself, and the authenticity of the person facing each other was identified in my head.
"Because we are strangers, it may be scary from your point of view. Going out together now can also be anxious."
A short voice continued.
"But while I'm together today, I promise to keep you from getting hurt under any circumstances, under my name."
Axion's tone wasn't so sweet or soft.
But it was the truth from start to finish.
Eventually, Margot reached out as if possessed.
Soon afterward, his hard arms took hold of the child's bruised body.
Axion held his breath and opened his mouth, looking back at Violetta and Terzo, who were watching them.
"Send a letter to Inoaden saying you're visiting now."

Around that time, several women belonging to 52 families gathered in one of the leading luxury dressing rooms in the downtown area.
"Oh, Miss Cordelia."
Then, when I saw the woman who had just been guided into the store, the people who were there first greeted me happily.
"Hello."
"It's nice to meet you like this."
"I thought I could meet at a weekend tea party."
"Come this way, come on."
The woman with lilac-like blue-purple hair and eyes was the eldest daughter of the Montana family, the highest among 52 families.
"It's been a while, Miss Montana."
"Okay, I've been a little busy for a while."
Cordelia replied with an elegant smile and sat on the couch.
Inside the dressing room, there was a separate reception room to welcome dear guests.
So, among the 52 families, the families that belonged to the upper ranks were guided to this place whenever they came to the clothing room, and took a leisurely refreshment and looked at the clothing book separately.
"Even though I wasn't, I was talking about what happened at the Kalykia ball right now."
For a moment, the people gathered there exchanged their eyes.
Then she said that she knew Cordellia.
"Then it must be Kalykiah and Inoaden who are on the topic."
"Yes, Miss Amelie and I also went to the ballroom in Kalykia. Miss Cordelia was there at that time, too?"
"Of course I went to celebrate Violetta's medical work."
Cordelia Montana was the most acquainted with the Princess of Kalykia among the people here.
She also said she was until she was in the middle of her engagement story with one of Violetta's cousins.
As Cordelia opened her mouth, all of her half colored, she gathered close to her loader.
"What was really astonished. A descendant of Kalykia, who possessed her self and her intellect, appeared."
"Then, is there a change in the superiority and inferiority of the 4th generation?"
"Have you ever heard of Miss Montana?"
Cordelia lifted the teacup brought by her dressing room staff, and she just smiled embarrassedly.
"As everyone knows, it's because the issue is an issueㆍㆍㆍ. Even in Kalykia, it is a problem that we are very careful not to prematurely leak out words."
"Oh, that's right."
"But there will be an official announcement sooner or later."
Cordelia, who smiled lightly while saying so, seemed to know something about her.
But nothing else came out of her mouth.
Knowing her character of her Cordelia, who has been cautious of her usual words and actions, people around her regretted it, but never asked her more about Kalykia.
"I'm more of an Inoaden than that!"
Then, the topic changed as if he had waited for Helio Naga, the youngest daughter of the Amelie family, who had a ticklish expression in her mouth.
"That's right. Kalykia does, but I really can't believe the news of Inoaden."
They were somewhat disappointed that they couldn't hear what they expected from her Cordelia, and were quickly excited by the new name on the topic. "No way Miss Hilise will be the successor to the next rose!"
"I was so surprised to hear the news. If I knew this, I would have attended the ball too."
"Then Ricardo is no longer a scion of roses."
Cordelia Montana, who closed her mouth to Kalykia's story, added her this time.
"I was also very surprised. That time, the atmosphere of Miss Hilise was very different from before. So, at first, when I saw a person in the middle of the ballroom, I thought she wasn't Miss Hilise."
"Is that right? I'm not the only one who feels that way?"
Those who saw Hilise on the spot agreed and looked up at her, and those who didn't, were curious and curious in her eyes with her face, dying.
"I sent an invitation to the tea party to Miss Hillise, but there is no reply yet. So does Miss Gabriel."
Helio or Amelie muttered her sorrow with her face.
"Did you send an invitation to Miss Gabriel?"
"Yes, I was wondering if I could hear the story of Inoaden."
Not only her, but also many of the invitations sent to Inoaden from other families this time belonged to Gabriel.
It was because she was trying to find out whether the rumors were real or not to Inoaden's most easy-to-handle and light-mouthed girl.
In fact, until now, Hillise has rarely attended a refreshment meeting, except when Gabriel was persistent in groups.
As if she had no other external interactions at all.
So most of them were betting on Gabriel, not expecting to see her in person again this time.
"By the way, this is a word from old women, but..."
Then suddenly a quiet voice leaked out of someone's mouth.
"If Miss Hilise is the next rose's successor, isn't Gabriel quite dangerous?"
At that moment, the air around changed slightly.
