"... what exactly did he say?"

"It's... 'I can't fall asleep thinking about Lady Mielle, who will wear gold roses later on at our engagement ceremony.'...!"

'Is Oscar such a romantic person?' He had never said such a thing to herself. He had just written such a cliche that the dress looked good. 'But did he send that awkward letter to Mielle?'

Aria's expression became mysterious. As she rolled her pupils, she could not believe that. Annie's voice grew louder if she agreed.

"That doesn't make any sense! Why can't that Oscar suddenly be kind to Miss Mielle? In the meantime, a lot of maids have seen Mr. Oscar being blunt to Miss Mielle!"

As she was speaking, Annie kept her face cool with her hands as if she got angry.

"I'm sure she said something to her as she met the princess last time! That's how gifts used to be sent in Oscar's name after she met the princess. Either Oscar was forced by the princess or the princess sent it in Oscar's name. It's either."

'Ah, Annie, the day came when I thought I was lucky to have you by my side.'

Aria felt a little relieved thanks to her chatter. How good would it be if her speculations were true?

That didn't mean the breakup that had arrived from Oscar would disappear, but at least she could find the cause forced by the princess. In addition, this breakup might not be his real intention.

"Annie, you always help me. I've never seen a maid who's as smart as you."

"Tha-thank you, miss."

"It's a very interesting story, thank you. Please let me know next time you have any interesting news."

"Yes! Don't worry!"

Annie's back appearance of leaving for the information again with a gallant heart seemed very reliable. 'Is there another maid in the mansion who is as talkative as she is?' Aria handed the letter to Jessie, thinking that it was really lucky to have Annie on the same side.

"Give it to Mr. Oscar."

"Yes, miss. Shall we send it right away?"

"Yes. And..."

As Aria couldn't easily talk, Jessie blinked and waited for the next words.

"And if... if he doesn't accept it, please tell the deliverer to throw it at Oscar's feet."

"... yeah?"

"I want him to do it by all means."

"Oh, ... yeah." Jessie walked out of the room with her head cocking.

A little time later, as dinner time came and Aria went downstairs, she could face Mielle, who was visibly smiling.

'I'd like to twist that little neck right now.'

'Shall I use a sandglass?' Shall I twist her neck and kill her and turn the hourglass right away?'

In imagination, she had already killed thousands of times. However, she stared at Mielle for a while, and turned her eyes away, because she knew she couldn't win her with anything today.

She glanced at Mielle's bright face as she waited for the count who said he would be back at dinner time after a brief business trip. Seeing the pin on her head, the necklace on her neck, and a rose-shaped jewel, she realized that they were Oscar's gifts.
