**Jingles.
At the restaurant, I could hear the bell ringing.
As a result, the employees who were cleaning up in the kitchen tilted their heads, and then one of them opened the door as a representative and headed to the place where the bell was heard.

At the restaurant he arrived after, he was amazed and trembled as if playing a game.
"Hey, Miss Hilise?!"
It was Hilise who sat in front of the table and was holding a bell with his chin on it. She saw the employee and put the bell down again on her table.
"I missed dinner because I was out for a while. It's great to be back, so get ready to cook as soon as possible."
The news that she broke the wall by the window and escaped was already heard by the employees in the kitchen.
But with a casual look like this, she appears at the restaurant again!
"Yes, yes... I will prepare it soon!"
But it wasn't the employee's job to ask about it. He immediately answered Hilise and then left the restaurant.
He then went around from the chef in the kitchen to convey Hilise's requirements, and then called an outside attendant to deliver the news to Ricardo.
It was very soon that the dishes for Hilise were on the table.
"I'm going to put up my main dish soon."
It was difficult to prepare the right dishes right now, so I first served soup, bread, and salad to relieve my hunger.
She wondered if she might say that Hilise was too late for the main dish, but she didn't care about Hilise and started eating soup.
"Hilise!"

Just then, Ricardo arrived at the restaurant. He saw Hilise seated in peace and stopped her step.
She glanced at Ricardo who appeared in front of her, and without looking back, she picked up the bread in front of her and dipped it into the soup.
"You, where the hell have you been so far?"
Ricardo approached Hilise a little closer.
There was a gap between the time she saw that the window in Hilise's room was open and the time she heard the news that she was in her dining room.
Ricardo questioned Hilise coldly about where and what he had been doing.
"Do you know how surprised everyone was when you heard the news that you disappeared? People are still searching for you."
From the beginning, she was in a tone that seemed to blame, and she wasn't supposed to tell Hilise.
However, as she feels leisurely, when she sits calmly and sees Hilise taking care of her, the heat gradually begins to boil from the inside.
At Ricardo's words, she responded as if Hilise wasn't a big deal, so she was more so.
"You did something useless. Tell them to come back in."
The question of whether there was anything else to say like that was pressed all the way to the end of her neck.
Still, Ricardo asked her again, trying hard to calm her down and calm her mind.
"Where on earth did you go without a word? No way did you break the wall by the window? Why did you go outside? If there was something to do outside the mansion, you should have at least talked out beforehand."

Suddenly, a blood smear on her Hilise' clothes caught his eye. Ricardo's words, which continued as if pursuing again, stopped for a moment.
Upon closer examination, red marks were also on her face and hands. Ricardo's face hardened.
"What's on your body? It looks like blood, but it doesn't come from you..."
"Ricardo."
Ricardo's question continued with a tail on his tail. Hilise exhaled her low sigh, pushing her empty soup bowl and her basket of bread to the side of her.
When she heard it, she flinched at Ricardo.
"Why do I have to report that to you one by one?"
This time, Hilise added, holding her salad fork in her hand.
"I'm not even a dog with a leash."
Ricardo's body, standing upright, became stiff at those words.
"Can you really, can't you speak that way? I'm just worried about it..."
But when he spoke in such a condemned manner, Ricardo stopped momentarily.
It was because he felt very unfamiliar because the words that were unintentionally spoken out of my mouth were aimed at Hilise.
"Worry?"
It was then that a crackling laughter leaked from her lips.
"Worry, who is worrying who?"
She looked at Ricardo as if she had ever heard such a ridiculous word for the first time.

In front of that gaze, Ricardo was once again caught up in the same emotions he had felt in Hilise' room last time.
Then, the moment Hilise gazed at the person he met with glassy eyes, Ricardo's new color changed.
"Ricardo. How many times have I had to feel like a bug in front of my father and you?"
In no time, her body cooled down.
"I don't know how dirty you and your dad usually stare at me with your eyes."
This was the first time I heard a story like this through the mouth of Hilise.
So the ugly situation was embarrassing, and then I had to feel like a stone rolling in her throat.
"Yeah. I don't want to talk about the nasty past, but it's been like this, so let's say one thing."
Then, at last, the memory of the not so old past was forcibly pulled out of Hilise.
"Do you remember Gabriel's sixteenth birthday party? At that time, she took out her mother's memento earrings and came out with them."
"Why are you telling the story that has already passed a long time ago now?"
Ricardo blocked Hilise's words from continuing with a cold face as if defending himself. Seeing it, Hilise tilted her head.
Probably in the past, she would have closed her mouth at this point because she was frustrated by Ricardo's reaction.
No, a story like this that would make his planting uncomfortable in the first place wouldn't have even taken it out of her mouth.

But now, Hilise didn't dwell on Ricardo's reaction at all and continued her story of trying to remain silent.
"At that time, you were so frighteningly angry that Gabriel was embarrassed and told you a lie. I took the earring out and gave it to you."
It was probably the first day Gabriel faced Ricardo's wrath from the front.
Diego and Ricardo usually didn't listen to anything Gabriel said, but they did not let him touch only one.
It was the trace left by Hilise' mother who died. In particular, her belongings were not allowed even to her stepmother.
So, I didn't even have to explain how angry Ricardo was at Gabriel, who had sneaked it out and wore it.
Ricardo, who was waiting at her door to escort Gabriel, was the first to find her problematic earring, so it was her remorse, and I thought it would have had a bigger uproar if Diego had seen her first.
"What did you do back then?"
Ricardo's complexion was darkened by his old memories, recalled again.

"At that time, you came to me right away and slapped me on the cheek without ever asking if Gabriel's words were true."
That was why Ricardo stirred to recall the incident. At that time, I was so angry when I saw Gabriel wearing mother's belongings.
So her eyes were turned over and there was no time to think about the situation. That day still remains the biggest stain in Ricardo's life.

It was the first day that Ricardo, who was always a friendly brother to Gabriel, was stripped of his face for the first time, and also the day when he gave Hilise the first and last impulsive hand sword.
"..Yes, I admit that I made a mistake at that time."
Ricardo has been regretting it all the time.
"But it's already been done before. Do I have to bring it out again like this now?"
But while the mistakes of the past were so spoken to Hilise, he was caught up in shame that canceled out all other emotions.
Ricardo's wicked voice leaked out.
"Yes, it's all over. The employee who worked at the mansion at the time proved that he saw Gabriel sneaking out earrings from mother's room."
The fork in Hilise's hand smacked the plate, crackling up and down without any sense. The resulting little noise scraped off Ricardo's nerves.
"Gabriel was also getting bigger, so she was scared and admitted that she did it. So, after hearing the fuss, father finished the whole matter."
"Hilise. Stop that now."
"I remember what my father said after that."
"I told you to stop."

The cracked low voice shattered the air somewhat roughly, as if threatening.
But Hilise' words didn't get in the way.
"He forgives and praises Gabriel for being an honest and good girl who can admit mistakes, right? Conversely, the employee was fired."
