After enduring hellish trials, he donned a mask and finally saw her again.

However, she had already married a handsome and unparalleled count.

“Well, I’m gonna set off an explosion now~”

In his hand was a dangerous substance prohibited by the country, on the verge of ignition—

“What the heck are you doing? Geeez!”
