I knew Adelia was young, but I underestimated her deep affection towards Hugo. She had been with me almost all the time, but she barely did anything aside from doing menial things. That was because I was still learning; it was better if we both learn together.
Even so, I tried to reach out to her multiple times. Asking her to join me for tea or ask her opinions regarding matters I already knew how to fix. But despite all that effort, I couldn't reach her.
To Adelia, I snatched Hugo away from her, and that was an unchanging fact. Maybe she would give me a chance if I weren't Hugo's lover.
My eyes landed on the blood trickling down the floor. The pieces of jewelry were scattered on the floor and the jewelry box was now completely shattered. Silence enveloped my room as the three of us were rendered speechless by Adelia's sudden outburst.
