Aria smiled with satisfaction at her answer. Annie was really lucky to meet her. If Annie behaved well, Aria was willing to recommend her to a lower aristocrat, but her elder brother met her requirements and she could make him have a reputable occupation, and she might save Annie's entire family.

Aria hadn't even thought about it, but as Annie had been born with luck, she might save Annie's entire family. Now that her brother would be in her hands, Annie would never be able to escape from her.

"Really? Hmm. I see."

The two maids cocked their heads but did not ask why she asked such questions. They thought that their master just wondered.

'Let's think slowly about the items I will hoard, and let's stop by the casino first.'

At that time, it would be better to take Annie alone out. It would be better to show her as much as she could. Besides, her brother was going to fall into her hands as well.

When she organized her thoughts, she was able to enjoy the scenery with ease. The spring breeze warmed her up, and her mood was great. If she accumulated wealth and built up power to use people like slaves, she would be able to confront the princess. Then she could take Oscar away again and hurt Mielle. No, she could get rid of Mielle, even though she would not take Oscar away from her. It was hard to imagine like there was a fog because it was still a distant future.

"Uh? Miss! Someone is staring at this side?"

Then, Annie said. Jessie, who sat next to her, also expressed wonder, 'Uh?'

"He is looking around this cafe, isn't he?"

There were countless people, because the building was beautiful, or because they were envious of the aristocrats who enjoyed leisure. Aria had appreciated this building countless times before she had become a noblewoman.

"No! He's staring right over here."

When Annie said so, Jessie also said, "It's weird." Then she jumped up from her seat with a look of surprise as to remember him who was looking at this side.

"Miss! That's the man!"

"The man?"

"Yes! The man who we met in the general store and the square!"

'If the places are the general store and the square... Don't tell me, Asher?'

He was an unidentified man who had disappeared magically. Aria looked up and checked out the terrace thoroughly. But he, who Annie and Jessie had said, was not there already.

"Uh? Where did he go?"

"He was there just before?"

Aria looked for his traces for a long time with them, who stretched their bodies out of the terrace and looked around, but there was no sign of him.

'Why on earth does he keep appearing?' At the very least, the connection had been just tied with the right to participate in the casino, and a slender string, which Asher would not let go of, tied up Aria.

"That's weird... He must have been looking this way. Was he passing by?"

Annie snooped back to her seat. Somehow Aria didn't feel good. So, as she was about to stand up leaving the coffee, a bunch of tulips popped out through the curtains on the terrace.

"Jiminy!"

Surprised Jessie screamed, and Annie also held her chair, then turned deadly pale. The uninvited guest behind the curtains revealed himself so that Aria, including them, would no longer be surprised.
