Anyway, since the family was talking about their marriage, it could be considered impure if it was impure. Aria needed help exchanging letters with him. The only person she knew was Jessie, but inevitably, Annie now knew it, and both of them all.

'The first time I sent him a letter, he didn't reply for quite a while.'

As she was about to be disappointed, she was a little moved by the man who visited her and handed her the letter. After that, the reply was not too late. Sometimes it came back so fast that she thought it had already arrived.

It was all about asking for her regards or devoting himself to studying, but she couldn't hide her excitement about the achievement that she had taken away by the man Mielle loved. It was enough to make her feel like she would be running around the whole mansion and trying to talk out loud about the fact that she was exchanging letters with him.

'But I can't do that.'

If she used the hourglass, it would be OK, but if she did it in her sober mind, she would only repeat her mistake again. Aria took out the letter papers she always used and wrote back to Oscar. In the first part, she wrote in detail about the weather and health stories, and how well his studies were doing, as always.

After that, it was spring, and she wanted to go out to see the flowers. As she was about to finish the letter, she remembered what Mielle had been up to.

'If I write down Lane's story... how will Oscar react?'

He might be jealous. If he might not be jealous, he might be nervous, if not jealous. He might be curious about Lane's identity as it was related to the girl he was going to marry later.

The most desirable reaction would be for him to pay no attention, but thinking that he would, she added the story of Lane and Mielle. She hoped he would reveal the identity of the man she did not find, and she ended up wondering about the man.

"Shall I deliver it to Mr. Oscar?"

"Yes. Keep it and send it in a few days."

He would be panicking if she spent a little time and sent it. It was only when he couldn't see and didn't hear the news that he would miss. Just like a few months ago, a late letter moved her unthinkable.

There was no mention of Lane in the letter back from Oscar. She didn't know if he had avoided it on purpose or if he hadn't been interested, and she couldn't mention it twice, so Lane's story naturally disappeared from the letter. She hoped he would care.

Aria spent the winter with self-study, Sarah's love counseling, classes with the Viscountesses, and studies in many fields. The count continued to work in the capital because the fur business was so successful that he couldn't care about other businesses. Even though he was in the capital, she couldn't see his face often during dinner time, but sometimes she asked her in a subtle way if she had any other information when they had dinner together.

"Now there will be a full spring, so there will be more nobles taking off their fur."

"That's right. I hope spring will come soon."

Despite Mielle's unnoticed reply, the count smiled without showing any signs of displeasure. 'Is your daughter beautiful in any way she does or speaks?' Aria, who had never received unconditional love even from her mother, was full of wonder.

"Are you thinking about the next thing in the fur business?"

Lane asked after coming to dinner after a long time. The question was asked to the count, but his eyes were evenly divided between Mielle and Aria. He seemed to be looking forward to how they would respond.
