“I was waiting.”

      
I asked like a fool.

      

"Yeah?"

      

“The Duke told us in advance that a woman with black hair is going to visit today. He also said to have a good service because he is a precious person.”

      

"Ah… … .”

      
You were expecting me to come today? If so, there is no reason to refuse that precious reception. I spoke with arrogance and arrogance, like a VIP of Berry Winter.

      

"right. I am that precious person. Would you like to open the door?”

      

"Yeah! I'll open it up quickly!”

      
The guard jumped quickly and began to open the closed door. Shortly thereafter, the iron gate, which seemed to be solid, was wide open. It was a satisfactory progress. As I passed the iron gate, I made another request.

      

“Hey, call me a maid to guide me.”

      
The response of the guard, who was energized, was the same.

      

"Yeah! I'll bring it up soon!”

      
Good good. I like it very much. I began to walk slowly through the well-maintained garden. Garden trees of similar height, planted in a straight line. Unknown flowers planted by color. Grass trimmed to the right length. The lush green garden was truly beautiful. The scent of flowers in the summer breeze lifted my mood. I felt like I could go over with a smile even if something bad happened. Will you be able to positively accept Barry Winter's crazy words today? The ivory peacock's work was much larger when viewed from a distance than when viewed from a distance. How would you feel if you live in a mansion like this? If you're like me, you'll be extremely happy. Berry Winter... … Were you happy? He is handsome, has a lot of money, has a high title, and most people like it. Even though there were no conditions for falling off, the answer to'was he happy?' was not readily available. The reason I saw Barry Winter didn't look happy. He smiled at me from time to time while giving off a cool atmosphere. The smile was exquisitely beautiful, but that was all. It just ended with a smile. There was no positive energy to be seen in it. A really happy person used to give me the feeling of being happy for some reason just by looking at it. Strange words, I didn't think he was enjoying my life. Is it because he is a man whose intention is unknown? I stood in front of the front door and waited for the maid to come out. The wait didn't last long. The two maids brought by the guard opened the front door wide open. The maids were also very polite.

      

“I waited for you to come. I will guide you.”

      
I replied as if I had already become the Duchess.

      

"okay. Please guide me to where the Duke is.”

      
… … No, wait. I'm not here to accept a contract marriage. Can I be so arrogant? Anyway, I followed the maid's back for a while. The long corridor was really clean, but few people were visible. It was quiet and quiet. When I thought, How long should I walk, the maid's steps stopped. She walked up to a door and told me that I had come.
