"Ahahaha…"
Ethan burst into laughter as the rain fiercely pummeled down on him from above.
He couldn't tell if the tears coming out of his eyes were from laughter or from despair.
Adelina had left.
And his love had come to a screeching halt.

After Adelina disappeared, there were rumors going around that the General had confined himself within the bamboo grove.
While Ethan was at home, Luci and Cedric had managed to return things to the way they were. When public opinion had settled, the Emperor ignored the incident and buried it under the rug.
"Do they think I'll allow myself to die alone like this?"
The only thing that had changed was Consort Min's circumstances. She managed to avoid being deposed thanks to the authority of the duke.
However, because there was talk that Consort Min had pushed her own crimes onto Scarr, she wasn't able to make any moves.
"Your Highness Consort, the General has arrived."
