Raju looked up.
"Haah..."
As he gasped, he slowly came into view of the room.
The faces of the underbelly are a mixture of dismay and fear. Catherine is white.
And a pool of blood growing beneath his feet.
That's when Raju came to his senses. He doesn't know what he's done.
"Me, I... No, I'm..."
He didn't mean to kill Joaquin.
He just wanted to show his heart, the spicy taste to the guy who dared to make fun of his woman.
Wait, he was mesmerized by the thought...
But Raju hadn't yet realized that even that wasn't his own.
Although he continues to be defeated by Medea, Robert Raju is a commoner in a foreign land, holding the title of Count of Katzen Empire.
Driven by a momentary impulse, his eyes had never been so wide and his mind had never been completely lost. Even in the first forbidden moment, he committed with Catherine.
"If you are too patient, you will lose patience, you will get angry, and eventually you will easily explode."
Little did Raju know that he would prove the powerful power of Monga's leaves.
He looked back and forth between Joaquin as he lay out on the floor, out of breath, and his blood-stained fists.
"Aaaaah... It's dead! A man is dead!"
At that moment, a red-haired young woman standing at the door screamed again.
Raju realized a step too late that she was a woman who was holding Samon's hand.
And the fact that she was once Medea's handmaiden.
"Oh my God. Ra, Count Raju... Father!"
The frightened woman stepped back. Behind her was the half-open bedroom door.
"Wait, Marieu..."
When the woman shouted Raju's name in disbelief, Catherine, who had been stunned, came to her senses.
'We need to cover it up.'
The fact that Raju killed her husband should not be allowed to leave this room.
"Ahhh... It's murder! Count Raju beat my father to death!"
"Shit, that sissy's mouth!"
But before Catherine could catch her, Marieu turned and ran out into the hallway.
"It's murder! A man is dead!"
Marieu's convulsive screams echoed through the mansion as she ran out of the bedroom.
It was only natural for her to accidentally step into this place, witness a murder scene, and panic.
"The Count of Raju murdered the Regent, the royal family of Valdina! Duke Claudio is dead!"
The shock of witnessing the horrific murder made her seem half-sober to call Joaquin, who had long since been deposed from the throne, by his old titles, such as Duke and Regent.
"Wait, Miss. Calm down, if you're the regent, you're talking about our big master, right?"
"Are you crazy? It makes sense how close you two are."
The servants in the house were also surprised by Marieu's shouting and rushed out.
"Ahh... It really is. If you don't believe me, look it yourself!"
Marieu pointed toward Joaquin's bedroom, and the servants rushed over.
Raju and Catherine had no choice but to confront Joaquin without having time to recover his body or leave the scene.
"It's murder! Valdina's lineage has been murdered!"
Still, Marieu didn't stop screaming as if it wasn't over until she reached Samon's bedchamber.
At one point in the process, Marieu's gaze intersected with that of the little maid in the hallway.
The maid nodded invisibly.
"Alas, how heartbroken it would be for him to know that the Count of Raju, whom he trusted and relied on, had beaten his father to death...!"
As Marieu began to cry in a more exaggerated voice, the maid turned and headed outside the mansion.
"Kami? Where are you going in this situation?"
The servant next to her spotted her and grabbed her.
"I'm going to go to Miss Birna. She's in the Count's house. If the Count of Raju really killed the great master, the young lady is in danger!"
"Alas, I see. Come on!"
The servant, who thought the young maid had a point, let her go.
"Uncle, we need to leave quickly, it's urgent."
"Got it. All you have to do is put it on and get into the wagon first."
While the coachman was distracted, the maid slipped a small note under the crack in the fence.
[The cuckoo pecked at the starling and killed it]

"Master! Oh, God!"
When Marieu witnessed Raju's murder, she ran out screaming, and everyone in the mansion found out.
People rushed into the bedroom.
Catherine didn't even have time to sort things out or talk to the others.
Raju, who was caught at the scene with the blood of the dead Joaquin, was unable to escape and had to face several employees.
"She was right!"
They were stunned by the horrible sight.
The corpse lying there was so covered in blood and bruises that it was difficult to recognize its owner.
His eyes were tightly closed, his expression was frozen with a mixture of fear and pain, and his scarred arms bore the marks of resistance.
"Count Raju, you murderer! Do you think you can kill our master and still walk out of here unharmed!"
Among those who ran were old servants who had been in Joanquin's vicinity for a long time.
"Be quiet, please!"
Catherine hurriedly tried to stop them, but it was too late.
"Count Raju. I arrest you for the murder of Joaquin Claudio."
Before they knew it, the security forces had arrived. Someone had left the mansion quickly and reported it.
"...Huh."
"Oh my gosh, the dead man is the Regent and the culprit is the Count of Katzen..."
The chief of security sighed inwardly.
He could have anticipated the enormous aftermath of the incident.
"We've got to do what we have to do."
In any case, Valdina could not let the killer go under current law.
What to do with this situation will be decided by the higher-ups.
Raju cooperated with them more obediently than expected.
His arms were tied to the rope, and he spoke.
"...I will request my extradition to Katzen."
Extradition meant that a person who had committed a crime in another country would request to be tried in his home country.
"Don't forget that I am a nobleman of Katzen."
"Hah, if you're a Katzen person, you can kill people and still walk away?"
The chief of police let out a smug laugh of contempt. When Raju said he would cooperate, he was trying to get out.
Before being taken away, Raju stared at Catherine for a moment. His lips pursed as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything and was taken away by the security guards.
"Alas..."
"Ma'am!"
Raju was dragged away, and Catherine staggered.
So much was happening at once that nothing felt real.
Even the heat on her cheek for her husband's blow had not yet subsided.
"Wait... You're all out."
Catherine threw up her hand, touching her temples.
"Ma'am, but..."
"Get out!"
A shrill cry rang out in their ears.
Catherine held her head in bewilderment and confusion and tried to retrace every moment of the incident.
'Medea's kidnapping failed, and Jared died at the hands of the First Prince. Peleus moved his army and was embarrassed.'
So she sought out her husband for a solution, and when she found out about the despicable affair, he beat her.
And then Raju pounces...
Remembering the moment, Catherine squeezed her eyes shut.
Her face was white with shock and tension. One of her blushed cheeks stood out against her bloodless complexion.
"Mom, what the hell is going on?!"
Someone shook her as she was stunned.
"Get out... Birna, oh, my daughter!"
Catherine, who was about to frown, checked her opponent and hugged her tightly.
She buried her face in Birna's shoulder, hoping that the tremors would go away, but unfortunately, it didn't work at all.
Catherine burst into tears.
Like Raju, she didn't realize that her emotions were uncontrollably fickle.
"What the maids said, is that true? Is my dad really dead? He really... My godfather Raju."
Birna asked, but she realized she wouldn't get an answer from her mother, who was just crying and flailing.
As she looked around the room, she noticed a bulging white cloth on the red carpet.
She pushed her mother away and approached the cloth. A trembling hand pulled back the cloth over the seal.
"Aaaah..."
Birna screamed convulsively and slumped to her knees.
