Chapter 59: Are You Going To Use Death To Run Away? (4)
Katherine was the rose of Sefira. What could possibly change with her appearance? Perhaps she brought evidence. No—all she did was call someone’s name.
“Lord Panir!”
She said nothing more and stared at Panir with wet eyes. Everyone wondered and wanted to ask why Katherine was here and how. That was all they thought of Katherine’s sudden appearance.
However, it was different for Panir. Everyone at Sefira respected and feared him, but they did not love him. He didn’t expect love to begin with, as love and respect could not coexist.
But Katherine was different; she respected and feared him but also loved him. It was not romantic love but more of a familial love. She greeted him with happiness and came to see him often. She worried about Panir catching a cold when it was cold, and she always shared her good news with him. To Panir, Katherine was truly like his daughter.
The reason Panir didn’t actually adopt Katherine was because he was worried that the attention that would draw would be too much for her. That was how much he cared for Katherine. But now, someone whom he thought of so deeply was now staring at him, standing beside none other than Keter.
Katherine, get away from that damn brat!
Panir’s hatred for Keter grew stronger. However, his resolve to end himself right there disappeared.
“...Ridiculous,” Panir finally spoke up.
He glanced back and forth between Keter and Suvide and said, “Head Butler Suvide and I do not have a bad relationship. I don’t have any guesses either.”
Suvide’s lips curled into a smile. As soon as he opened his mouth to chime in, Panir continued.
