Kapitel 78: slaps

Flashback to when she was seven:

By this time, Ereza already knew that her parents weren't the loveliest couple.

They were mismatched together. Their everyday fighting was affecting everyone's life.

By now, Abe has already forgotten to smile. He no longer smiles at her as he used to.

It's as if he has forgotten what smiling is.

She heard their father shouting at him for not showing any sort of emotions, even after being hurt by him a lot of times.

An emotionless stone is what he called him.

Maybe that's why he decided to be emotionless.

Even when his skin bleeds, his eyes hold the same coldness.

A perfect candidate for the crown prince is what they called him.

But was it worth it? They praised him for not showing his emotions but was that even a thing to get praised about?

Her eldest brother has lost the shine he used to have.
