Untouchable Lady - Chapter 15

“What?! Sister Hilise came up to the fourth floor?”

Someone’s tranquility had just broken.

Gabrielle jumped from her seat, flustered by the news her maid had come and told her.

A cold towel that she had placed over her eyelids to alleviate the swelling fell onto her lap.

Her eyes were swollen as she had been crying in front of Christian, Diego, and Ricardo since the afternoon, one after another.

So, she couldn’t go out even though she heard a commotion outside.

But the story the maid told after finding out what caused the uproar was surprising.

“Why is she suddenly moving to a good room?”

The fourth floor of the mansion was also where Gabrielle’s current room was located.

If it weren’t too long ago, it would be no big deal but she would still have been a little surprised. However, since what happened in the garden, she can’t be considered this insignificant.

The maid replied to Gabrielle, who was moaning from frustration.

“Well… Miss Hilise broke her room so she couldn’t stay there anymore.”

“She broke her room?”

Her voice got higher, doubting her ears.

The maid, too, had difficulty believing what she had heard from outside.

Suddenly, the wicked vine that had previously wrapped her body in the garden came to Gabrielle’s mind.

“That means she grew something so her room couldn’t be used…?”

Even though it might not be the reason, Gabrielle asked with a small voice filled with caution. Her maid’s voice also lowered as if whispering a secret.

“No. I heard that the room was damaged while she was attacking Ricardo with her spell.”

Gabrielle’s jaw fell.

She couldn’t figure out which part of that sentence was most surprising.

It turned out that Ricardo, who heard Gabrielle’s complaint earlier, left the room to say something to Hilise.

Ricardo did not scold her like her father, and as always, her kind caring older brother showed his usual reaction to make her happy. Though she was agitated and exaggerated about what has happened during the day.

Given the circumstances, that’s why Ricardo went to Hilise’s room…

‘Sister Hilise attacked brother Ricardo? Enough to destroy the room?’

“You, did you hear correctly?”

“I went outside, they were all talking about it. I saw Miss Hilise’s room, and the walls were really broken.”

“Really?”

“Besides, the Master was bleeding on his face.”

The color went out of Gabrielle’s face.

It was even more serious than she thought because there was even bleeding on his face.

Though what she’s worried about right now is not the injured Ricardo, who went to see Hilise because of her.

“Well, I don’t think Sister Hilise’ intentionally moved her room to a place near mine, right?”

If all that she heard was true, then Hilise’s attack on Ricardo would be unpleasant…

She wasn’t sure exactly what Ricardo said to Hilise, but he must have scolded her about today. Perhaps so, since she doubted Hilise would move to the fourth floor with the intention of hurting Gabrielle after Ricardo.

She didn’t know why she felt this way towards Hilise, but she was now a little scary. It could probably be since she had experienced her power firsthand today.

“You, go out and find out what Hilise is doing right now.”

“Yes, Lady!”

Gabrielle was also angry with her for what happened today.

How can Hilise use such grotesque powers on her, her little sister!

Besides, she was seen flirting with Christian right in front of her eyes.
[ T/N: Girl, you blind? …….. ]

Of course, her feelings weren’t just directed at Hilise. Christian played the bigger part.

How can he ignore her when she shouts for help?

Besides, Christian left Inoaden without saying a word to her until the end. How could he, her fiance, act this way? Gabrielle was really upset with him.

When she thinks about the incident, her blood boils up even now.

However, the moment she heard her maid’s words from a while ago, the anger that was buried under an instinctive sense of crisis came back up again.

“I think she’s going to rest early.”

When she heard the news from her maid, who returned shortly after, Gabrielle was relieved and patted her chest.

Still, she wasn’t entirely relieved. She was still distracted in her heart, so she ordered the maid again.

“But, just in case, go back to Sister Hilise’s room and watch the situation a little more…”

Kugung!

Just then, another strange noise came from nearby.

Two pairs of eyes widen as they both turn to each other.

“What?”

Gabrielle asked the maid to leave and find out more about the situation again.

The maid who heard her command ran out of the door.

***

Diego, who had an appointment and went out for a while, returned home. The anger went through his head when he heard about Hilise’s atrocities that happened while he was away.

Late at night, while Hilise was asleep, Diego headed to her room.

Unlike Hilise’s power that was still incomplete, Diego’s power, the Master of Inoaden, was perfect. He used his powers to block some part of the hall on the fourth floor.

Of course, the blockade included Hilise’ room.

Kugung!

A thick wall was created in the corridor from the stairs to the right side of the mansion. As if to prove that Diego was in fact, using Inoaden’s power, red roses began to bloom and wrap around the wall.

After learning about the incident in Hilise’s room, Diego decided that he could not let this slide.

Of course, he has yet to acknowledge Hilise’s power.

For him, it was assumed that her awakening was a temporary phenomenon, a massive error.

However, when he learned afterward that Hilise attacked Gabrielle and eventually wounded Ricardo, he could no longer look away from her behavior, as it was beyond his limits.

It was the greatest mercy from Diego that she could still use the amenities such as bathrooms by blocking the room, from the stairs to the passageway leading there.

Before arriving here, the exterior walls of the building were also sealed to prevent Hilise from getting out from the window.

Diego was not willing to let Hilise behave this way any longer.

“If you feel strange movements inside, let me know immediately.”

“Yes, I understand.”

And just in case, elite knights were selected to guard the rose wall. Though he didn’t think she would be able to break the wall and get out.

Diego turned around, leaving behind the knights, who seemed somewhat embarrassed by this extreme treatment.

Some employees were alarmed.

Diego wasn’t comfortable with Hilise living this way, so he talked to the employee in a calmer tone than usual.

“There is a gap under the wall, so if you have meals and other necessary things, put it there.”

“I, I will.”

On the other side of the wall, a maid was also trapped with Hilise while serving her. Though, because the atmosphere wasn’t the best, other employees couldn’t even talk about it in front of Diego.

“Father…!”

Just then, Gabrielle ran from the corridor to the left of the stairs.

“Oh my God, what are you doing right now?”

After hearing the news from the maid, she saw the wall that had erupted behind Diego’s back and closed her mouth with her hand, as if she couldn’t believe it.

For an instant, Diego faltered.

He didn’t want to be considered a bad father, especially to Gabrielle, no matter how heartless Diego was.

He opened his mouth and tried to explain, “It was inevitable for your safety.”

However, Gabriel’s desperate cries blocked Diego’s words.

“There’s a room over there where I stored new dresses and accessories…!”

“…”

“What should I do if sister Hilise gets angry and breaks all my things!”

Gabrielle did not believe the rumors about Hilise that had spread among employees until yesterday, but things were different now.

It was now considered plausible enough that Hilise would tear up all the clothes in the dressing room. So, if she was the current Hilise, Gabrielle felt it would be possible for Hilise to vent her anger on her.

“There are some things that were difficult to find that I will be wearing for this Kalykia ball! I can’t even buy a new one because there was only one in the world!”
