"... ha."

Lane, who had been stiff for a while, suddenly threw up his vain smile. The eyes were still fixed on Aria. Mielle's shadow, which he had intended to get, had suddenly disappeared. Instead, there was a new shadow on his face, tired of a private conversation.

Lane, who had been looking at Aria as if he had been deprived of his soul for some time, touched his face once with his big palms, and then burst out laughing as if he had lost his mind. Because of this, Mielle, wearing a mask, straightened her face and called his name,

"... Mr. Lane?"

But the place where his answer was directed at was Aria, not Mielle.

"Oh, my God, I've learned a lot."

"What do you mean?"

Lane's laughter grew thick when Aria pretended not to know.

"The idea of a Casino. I didn't think we had to shut it down, but I was impressed by the new view."

"Really? I think it's a simple hypothesis that anyone can think of."

Of course, Mielle wouldn't have been able to think of it. Lane burst out laughing again at her humble but never humble way of speaking.

"If I don't excuse you, please let me know. What kind of study is Lady Aria doing every day, and how do you have such deep thoughts?"

'Isn't that the question you asked Mielle? What if Mielle cried?'

Swallowing a smile, Aria replied, "There's nothing special."

"What is it, for example?"

"Well..."

'Would you believe they are a newspaper that is mixed with all kinds of gossip, the experience of being decapitated, the hourglass? It's true, but you'll never believe it. You will mock, saying that the wicked woman is finally out of her mind.'

"I'm similar to Mielle. I'm taught by the wives, I read books, and sometimes I read newspapers. Oh, and..."

There was one more important source of information.

"It's very helpful to listen to my father and Mielle's conversation. They tell me a lot of information that I don't know. That's why I listen very carefully."

In particular, Mielle had given Aria a good idea of when and how to release the information. It had been only once that Aria had given information to the count, but it had been helpful in many ways. 'Isn't that right now?' Mielle had given her a chance to shame her by gnawing at her own flesh.

"Today's conversation was also very informative."

"Was that so?"

At first glance, Aria seemed to praise Mielle, but in the end, it meant that she often got the chance to show off her knowledge based on Mielle's clumsy knowledge. If it were as naive and flat as Sarah, she wouldn't know, Lane and Mielle must have noticed it.

"... really? That's a surprise. That's what I do sometimes."

'That's why you make such a transparent attack now. Do you want to argue that this shameful situation is not one-sided? You've just had a look on your face that people can't think of as a noblewoman's. Ah, yes, you might have been all the way in the past.'

However, Aria had stolen everything that Mielle had always shown off only a few months ago.

'Did you hate the dumb, wicked bitch who boasted of simple poetry at all?'
