After a light breakfast, she sat quietly and immersed herself in the book, but today there was an unusually noisy mess inside and outside the mansion.

"What's going on?"

Aria, who had been quiet all the time, suddenly spoke to herself. Then Berry, who was wiping the clean floor with a dry mop, lowered her body in surprise.

'I haven't even bothered you for a long time, but you've already been afraid of me.'

When she opened the window with her tongue clicked and checked out, she could see the servants and maids moving around busily.

'Because of a series of incidents, the count has vacated the mansion often, so there would be no guests...'

However, they were eager to put their efforts to receive such a great guest. When she called Annie out of curiosity and asked why Annie immediately spewed out the information.

"Oh my! I forgot to tell you. Princess Frederick is coming today. I heard she's having a tea party with Miss Mielle."

Aria hadn't even known that this mishap had happened because she had not called Annie who had been taken a rest because she had enjoyed reading quietly. It seemed to have heard a similar story directly from Mielle's mouth, but she must have forgotten it.

"Princess Frederick..."

She was the one Aria didn't want to encounter yet. It was clear that Aria would be in bad shape if she encountered the princess with her present self, who had nothing else to show. It was more so since the rumor with Oscar had spread. So she had tried to avoid meeting the princess, but unfortunately, Princess Frederick had no intention of doing so.

"Well, miss, the princess is waiting downstairs..."

The princess had wanted to say hello and sent a maid to her. How could she avoid it? Aria was just a daughter of a vulgar prostitute. If she avoided the princess, an absurd rumor might spread. Of course, it was unclear if a good rumor would spread with her meeting, but it was better to give no room.

"... tell her I understand." It sounded like a poor pronunciation because she bit her lips, but it was best to answer that.

"Yes, miss."

Aria took a sigh, looking at the maid who was going down and saw her in front of the mirror. It was very annoying but she never had to make anything to be blamed.

It was only a short while after the acquisition had been completed that the news of the acquisition of the casino by Viscount Vigue entered the ear of the princess. It was because Vika had forced Viscount Vigue not to tell anyone until the acquisition had been completed.

Vika had emphasized the secret, saying that he had persuaded the Crown Prince to sell it at a low price by cheating him, and had added a warning that if someone would find out, it would certainly be difficult to acquire.

Viscount Vigue, who had only inherited the successful business of his predecessor, had believed the words without doubt, and due to it, the takeover of the casino had ended, not unknown to the outside world, except for a handful of people who had been involved in.

Therefore, the princess and her close aides who had belatedly learned of this fact had been forced to vent their anger at the stupidity Viscount Vigue had done. He had been so desperate for immediate profits that he had abandoned the great weapon that they could strangle the Crown Prince.
