Roberto laughs unwittingly at his friend in his eyes.

Signis betrayed Roberto. That is an unmistakable fact.

But what irony does it have that Signis, who betrayed his best friend, has a more wearing look on his face than Roberto, who betrayed him?

Roberto feels stronger pity than anger for such a good friend figure.

"Hey, Signis... what's up? Don't look so depressed at all times. Well, well, well, there's good liquor. You want a drink?"

With that said, Roberto grabs a bottle of brandy placed on his desk and shakes it in front of Signis to show it.

Words that can be accepted as sarcasm and disgust depending on what you hear.

But it was that kind of language that was the normal exchange between the two of us.

In fact, there is no intention of blaming Roberto for Signis.

That's just a word out of the heart that friends turn to for years against the look of floating or hanging up.

Signis nods with an ambiguous grin at such Roberto's attitude.

"Ahhh... ahh..."

An attitude that doesn't boil off weaker than you would think from a regular Signis.

Evidence that I feel guilty about my choices.

(Stupid dude... I can make you patrol any plot in the war... you strangle yourself)

Roberto sighed small at Signis' attitude as he stood on the spot without trying to enter the room.

Roberto had already guessed, albeit largely, why Signis had betrayed him.

To be clear, a man named Signis Garveira is a man of great courtesy and integrity, such as Roberto, who is opportunistic and has a strong tendency to prioritize his own desires.

If the Earl of Salzberg were to raise one human name among those who took part in this battle that would most certainly not have to be wary of treachery, that would undoubtedly be the name of Signis Galveira.

If such a signal chose betrayal, there must be a good reason there.

"What's up? How long have you been standing? Come here and sit down."

Roberto spoke again to Signis, who stood silently at the entrance.

I guess Signis has finally solidified his resolve in his words, too.

Step into the room silently.

A man in law and honesty.

Normally, those personalities would not be considered drawbacks.

However, words such as courtship and honesty do not always do good things.

Depending on the circumstances in which they are placed, courtesy and integrity can be the chains that bind their hands and feet.

And unfortunately, in the constantly war-torn earth world, it often falls behind.

Anyway, it's a world where even the real parents and children who have blood ties cheat and kill each other.

"Look, you gotta be good, too"

Roberto stuck a bottle of brandy in front of Signis as he sipped.

It's as rough as a burglar or a mercenary, like spinning and drinking without even using a glass.

At least, it would not be human behavior belonging to the aristocratic class.

But it's the two of us who don't decorate.

"What's up? You're not gonna tell me to give you a glass for elegance, are you?

With that said, Roberto laughs and shows off his nigga.

With such an unusual Roberto attitude, Signis finally gets the liquor bottle.

And I drank out the contents of the bottle, which was more than two-thirds as if I were going to shake something off.

Zero amber fluid from the edge of the lips wets Signis' chest.

"Phew..."

Signis brutally wipes his mouth with his hands.

Never a good way to drink alcohol.

I don't enjoy the aromatic fragrance that tickles my nasal cavity through my mouth, nor do I enjoy with my eyes when I say amber maturation made over the years, just how I drink it that I put it in my body.

No matter how thoroughly crafted the liquor is, this way of drinking it will ruin everything.

But there was no room for the current Signis to enjoy the taste of alcohol.

Signis stares at Roberto, who sits relaxed on the couch.

It's like asking for something. No, it's not something. Signis was asking Roberto to punish him.

But Roberto didn't hang any words on him like that.

A long, long silence weighs the air in the room.

"Why are you silent... Roberto... and you don't blame me?

Eventually, when Signis lays down his face, he asks Roberto with a trembling voice squeezing out of the depths of his heart.

If you try it as a sign, you come here ready to be scolded and even take your life.

Of course, it's a choice that I've chosen to make myself ready for everything.

I didn't have a choice. To love and protect my only family.

So I have no remorse for Signis, and I'm not going to use that as an excuse to justify that night.

But behind Signis' expectations, Roberto's attitude remained the same as usual.

Roberto just whispers the bottle in silence.

And slowly opened his mouth.

"Blame..."

"Yes... I have you and the Earl of Salzberg..."

"Oh, I betrayed you... Indeed."

Zero words from Roberto's mouth with a sigh.

It's sadness and pity there,

It doesn't matter.

"What? What is that..."

"Is Hermeda safe?

To the unexpected words of Roberto, Signis raised his face lying down.

With a surprising look on his face.
