"... It's lovely for us too."

"Lady Aria takes all our hearts again."

Her appearance itself caught their attention, and she was the youngest member of the group. The other young ladies were at a loss after hearing Aria's flattering words. None of them knew what to do. Aria changed the subject by giggling at their words of love.

"How was your coming-of-age ceremony? I'm so curious because mine is still far away."

"There are so many things to talk about, in fact! A great thing has happened!" a young lady, who had joined with Sarah at the coming-of-age party, replied with glistening eyes.

Needless to say, she was talking about Sarah. It was natural, but it was reassuring to hear that events had flowed as before.

"What happened? I'm so curious."

"I'm not the person directly involved in the incident, so it's hard to tell you. I hope Lady Sarah will come soon."

"Is this about Lady Sarah?"

"Yes, a wonderful thing happened, but I'm not sure if I can tell you."

She looked hazy as if she were dreaming. She seemed to have witnessed the moment that Marquis Vincent and Sarah met. In her life as a lower-class aristocrat, she had few chances to meet and connect with a man as great as Marquis Vincent, so it was natural to react like that.

The young ladies gathered there waited for Sarah to arrive with their hearts in their hands. Sarah had always been on time, but she was very late today. Aria simply waited for her to come, wanting to know what else had happened following the ceremony.

Sarah appeared around an hour after the meeting had begun. In the meantime, the young ladies, who had been bored of waiting, talked about useless stories, and Aria introduced Annie to them, saying that she had brought her new maid.

"What a beautiful maid she is!"

Annie blushed even though she knew it was an empty compliment.

"I'm sorry I'm late. Did you wait long?"

"Lady Sarah! Did something happen to you?"

Sarah had never been late for a meeting, so they had no doubt that something had happened to her. Sarah blushed softly.

"Yes, something happened..."

Something had happened to her. Aria knew the future, but her eyes shone with anticipation just like those of the other young ladies in attendance. 'What the hell happened?'

"Wouldn't it have something to do with the coming-of-age ceremony?"

The young ladies who had waited for a long time were unrestrained. They were so curious because Sarah didn't explain it in detail. Sarah sincerely answered their questions about whether she seemed not to hide anything.

"You can say that."

"What the hell happened to the coming-of-age party?"

"The Marquis of Vincent... picked up the handkerchief I dropped."

"Oh, my God..."

"Really?"

The young ladies expressed surprise in their own way that something unimaginable had happened. Aria, who knew the future, also joined in by wrapping her cheeks in her palms. As if she was shy, Sarah dyed her face red.
