Gabriel expressed intense resentment towards Diego, who created a useless wall between her and her dress.
It seemed like she had completely forgotten the fact that the person who purchased her dress a while ago was the one in front of her right now.
Diego, who forgot his regrets after raging at Gabriel earlier, began to get angry again at his step-daughter, who in such a serious situation only spoke of such nonsense.
However, Gabriel, whose nerves were already over her wall, did not notice Diego's anger.
"If you're going to punish sister Hilise, isn't there a way other than locking her up? It's so savage! It's such an old-fashioned way to lock her up!"
Gabriel, who appealed with her tears, said that the atrocities of Hilise in the gardens a little while ago were barbaric and violent, and was accusing Diego more fiercely this time.
Of course, it wasn't for Diego, but for the safety of her dress in isolation with Hilise. Diego struggled to swallow his anger and spit out a repressed voice from under his teeth.
"Just a room? Gabriel, you even got Ricardo injured because of Hilise, but right now because of that dress..."
"What dress! Don't disparage my things that way! And father, too, sometimes with brother. What are you so sensitive about?"
Gabriel's contradictory remarks left Diego speechless.
In such a way of thinking, it was right to think that what happened between Hilise and Gabrielle in the garden was a trivial quarrel between sisters.
"I heard that he wasn't badly hurt either. It was just a slight scratch on his face!"
However, she did not seem to have such awareness.
"To such a degree of locking her up like this, father is too much!"
While being heavily criticized by Gabriel, he became increasingly impatient and uncomfortable.
For the first time, he hated hearing Gabriel's voice, which was always pleasing to his ears like the song of a lark.
"So father, get rid of these ridiculous walls right now...."
"No! I will not be changing my decision."
Diego cut off her words in a cold tone that he had never used against Gabrielle before.
"Gabriel, no matter how much you say, nothing will change. If you say one more word about this, I won't stay still. Just so you know!"
It was a resolute attitude as he would not be having any more conversations with Gabriel on this matter.
It wasn't enough to hear Diego's yelling, and now Gabriel, who encountered his true heartfelt coldness for the first time, was stunned.
Diego's words widened Gabriel's eyes in shock.
"And I wasn't going to allow you to attend Callicia's ball anyway."
"What?!"
"Did I not tell you not to go outside for a while? So, it doesn't matter if you wear a rag as a dress since there wouldn't be a place to wear it anyway."
Diego then went down the stairs, walking past Gabrielle.
She was in great shock and stiffened her lips, unable to find things to say. Her stunned eyes followed Diego again.
"Oh my God, is father angry with me again now?"
Gabriel looked back at the employees who had been listening to the conversation between the two since earlier.
They couldn't figure out what to answer, so they just sweated without saying anything.
Though Gabriel didn't actually want an answer, she didn't know why Diego was upset with her. She was embarrassed as she couldn't understand the current situation, and suddenly resentment began to rise on her face.
"What did I do so wrong, to me...!"
Her feelings changed, and the tip of her nose turned red. In her green eyes, a large drop of tears dangled like before.
"It's really too much...! I really hate father!"
Gabriel felt sincerely unfair and ran into her room, crying.
"Miss!"
Her exclusive maid, Donna, could not hide her tired countenance, and she slowly pursued her.
The knights and employees who were left there felt exhausted and began to return to their respective positions one by one. As they were confused about what this was all about as well.
Inoaden, which was calm in its way, has not been calm for a while.
Of course, it was because of Hilise, who was now trapped behind the wall.
The complicated gazes of the employees flew to the wall where the roses were entangled.
Unlike the hectic situation here, beyond it was tranquil, without any noise.

"Suddenly, what is this?!"
It was May who was forcibly imprisoned behind the wall with Hilise.
May was in the middle of preparing Hilise's clothes for tomorrow morning for her to change into, along with organizing her new pajamas in the room next to Hilise's bedroom.
**Kugung!
When she came out, sensing the strange sounds she heard from outside, she noticed that a wall that hadn't been there a while ago was suddenly rising in the hallway.
Of course, she was surprised and hurried to the wall. Diego's voice could be heard from across the wall to May's ears.
She was frustrated when she realized that Hilise and her were trapped alone.
She wanted to go to Hilise right now, let her know and find a way to deal with the situation, but she didn't have the courage to wake her up.
When May was rolling her feet in front of the door of Hilise's room, Hilise was already awake to hear the fuss outside.
It wasn't that difficult to guess what Diego was doing.
Still lying comfortably on the bed, she moved her gaze. The window had been blocked, so no sunlight came into her sight.
The room where moonlight gently permeated it when she closed her eyes had now become visibly dark. While she was sleeping, it was clear that he had created a wall outside the window.
“He's still doing useless things.”
Hilise closed her eyes again without moving her body and dug deeper into the bed.
She didn't have anything else to do for three days anyway, so she didn't have to go outside right now and get rid of that wall.
Even so, this time, it was a little earlier than at other times. That may mean that Diego was stimulated by Hilise's change of words and actions.
The disturbance outside had also subsided, and the room was darker than before, so I felt like I could sleep better as well.
As expected, not long after, Hilise closed her eyes and immediately fell asleep again.
It was the opposite of May, who was frustrated alone outside and ended up staying up all night.
That night was a peaceful night only for Hilise in Inoaden.
***
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Hilise lived a comfortable life for the past three days.
It was possible because she didn't have a wide range of desires in the first place, so she usually lived a life without greed. The only thing she didn't like was that she couldn't get sunlight freely because of the wall that appeared outside her window.
In reality, contrary to Diego's belief, Hilise could remove the wall right away if she only puts her heart into doing so.
But if Hilise breaks the wall right now, Diego will undoubtedly use a stronger method, and it would be difficult to confront Diego with her powers right now.
"...Three days."
Still, if she waits for three more days, she will have a second chance to bloom. Therefore, she decided to just stay quiet until then.
Besides, when she was trapped, the stillness of the moment wasn't much worse than she thought.
May, too, was having a more comfortable time than she initially worried.
Of course, in the beginning, the thought of Hilise and her being locked up on the fourth floor was leaving her with anxiety and worries.
The Young Lady, attended by May, suddenly became completely different one morning and made her nervous. So, on the first day that she was trapped across the wall. She was restless and stayed up all night. She didn't even know when Diego would release Hilise since it was already dark.
However, to the shame of May's worries, she was having a relaxing time.
In fact, she initially lamented her circumstances, forcibly imprisoned with Hilise, who was now the most dangerous being in Inoarden.
She felt like she had become a fragile prey that was thrown into the cage of a wild animal.

She was afraid that Hilise would get angry with Diego's treatment and use her ability to commit another violent act.
However, Hilise did not show any reaction to the extent that it was surprising.
It was because the external stimuli that touched Hilise disappeared, so she no longer had to react to them.
While she did something that would surprise the people in the mansion every day for a while, after being isolated, Hilise was continuing her days without anything to the point May felt somewhat bored.
