----The next day.
Inside the Parada family mansion, the main dining room.
This is the room that in other families, families that are really united by love and tenderness, not coldness and common goals, would be full of people at this time. But now it was almost empty, except for Isabel, who was sitting on one of the many chairs alone at the empty table, and her maid. Nesrin, who was standing behind her quietly, the room was completely empty.
"…" Nesrin, Looking at her mistress who was playing with the fork with a distracted expression, couldn't help but sigh at the miserable state her mistress was in.
(Looks like he won't come today either) Isabel thought with a frustrated expression as she looked at the empty chair at the top of the table.
"Nesrin let's go..." After a little while of playing with food without eating anything, Isabel got up from the table and decided to leave the room.
As she walked through the corridors of the mansion without a destination, Isabel was immersed in thought, her daughter, how is she doing, is she hungry, is she sleeping well, the cold is coming, will she be okay...
Family visits have been forbidden for Erma who was in prison currently, and Isabel has not been able to see her for a long time.
The only human that Isabel had in this world was her daughter Erma after she was imprisoned. Isabel began to feel a lonely emptiness, and this sudden emptiness made Isabel think of something else, something she had given up a long time ago, which was his second son, Fray. As soon as she moved her attention to this direction which she had tried so hard to stay away from for years, she realized that the frightening feeling she had felt in the past every time she looked into his eyes had disappeared. Yes, she was sure of it, as a mother she can feel it, something had definitely changed in her son...
Suddenly interrupting her messy thoughts, Isabel was able to see at the end of the hall where two familiar faces were standing with each other, it was her only son Fray and the butler of the family Montaser.
As soon as Isabel saw Fray's face without any hesitation, she sprinted towards the two men after all, she had recently realized how much it is rare to meet Fray, while Nesrin, who was walking behind her without saying anything, followed quickly as well.
Thus, after reaching the spot where the two men were standing and after stopping their conversations, Isabel said in a gentle voice and a small smile on her face, "Hello Mr. Montaser, Hello Head of the Family."
Fray, who was surprised at Isabel's sudden appearance and even at the reason she was here in the main branch away from her private part of the mansion, said, "Hi"
"Hello, Lady Isabel." Montaser also answered in a respectful voice.
"Fray it has been a long time since I last saw you, how have you been, are you okay?" With a tender voice and the same little smile said Isabel, looking at Fray's face with a kind look.
(What!? What is wrong with this woman this time...) Feeling strangely uneasy, looking at Isabel's strange expression and tender voice, which Fray found annoying, Fray said in a cold voice, "Do you want something!?"
"..." Facing Fray's cold look directly made Isabel Fell a strange shiver running across her body
After lowering her head to escape Fray's frightened gaze, feeling the pain that came from Isabel's palm due to the nails she had subconsciously dug into her skin, she said in a broken voice, "I-t's, it's nothing."
Fray, looking with a confused expression at Isabel's incomprehensible behavior, said, "Okay." Then he turned to Montaser and said, "Okay, Montaser, after you finish your task, come to the chemistry room to discuss this matter further."
"Alright sir," Montaser said with a respectful expression.
Thus, completely ignoring Isabel's presence, Fray continued on his way in the opposite direction alone without saying anything else.
Looking at Fray's back with a complicated look, Isabel asked in a low voice, "Mr. Montaser, is he okay?"
Montaser who was like Fray so ignorant of what Isabel was thinking said the truest answer he could think of as he also looked at Fray's back with a calm expression, "Actually Lady Isabel, I also don't know."
******
In the center of Iskar City, where there was a wide square full of movement, and the streets were filled with passers-by, merchants, and all kinds of different shops.
One of these many shops was a big and famous ice cream shop, across the street from this shop, there was a child who appeared to be in his early teens, dressed in old clothes, looking at the children who were enjoying ice cream in front of the shop with an envious look in his eyes.
"Sigh, I am already very lucky that I found edible food and a place to sleep at night, but I still want to eat ice cream. I seem to have become very greedy lately," muttered the child inaudibly, he decided to continue on his way but only when he turned to leave
Clash!
Suddenly, because of his lack of attention, the child crashed into a long body and fell to the ground. still, on the ground the boy took a look at the person that he crashed into, because of the sun that hit his eyes, he wasn't able to see the man's face well, but he could see his clothes clearly.
(These expensive clothes, this person must be rich) Once the little boy realizes this fact, his expression became pale because of fear, and as tried to kneel in front of the man the child cried out loud "I'm sorry, I'm sorry sir I didn't see you, please forgive me for my negligence."
Suddenly making the child's heart skip a beat the tall figure started approaching the boy's eyes, with a frightened expression the boy closed his eyes with one thought in his mind (he wants to hit me)
With his eyes closed, trembling, the boy waited for a painful feeling at any time, but no matter how long he waited, he did not feel any pain or strong beating as he had expected. Instead, he heard a gentle voice coming from in front of him.
"boy are you okay!?"
