"Berry, bring us warm tea."

Thanks to Aria's care, Annie was able to hold the tea to melt her cold heart. Even though it didn't really melt her heart, she felt much better about being able to get a hold of something.

Aria, with a strange smile, looked at Annie for a moment. Aria looked like she knew everything. As Annie shrank in that glance, Aria said, holding her hand, "Annie, you can't be mistaken. You're not that stupid, are you?"

"... yeah?"

"You don't like Baron Burboom, but you like his background. You won't be happy if you try to have his heart."

Annie's eyes were dazzled because she could not grasp Aria's intention. So Aria changed the question.

"If he had been a humble commoner, would you have been interested?"

"Oh, no..."

"So you have to set aside Baron Burboom and his background. He just has a background that will make you happy. There are so many friendly and kind men in the world. But few men are going to make you rich and happy."

Aria seemed to be already seeing what had happened between Burboom and Annie. It was more like sending Annie to him with anticipation. Still, Aria hoped Annie would overcome it, like the past, present, and future Aria herself; by blocking her mind before she got hurt, you would choose any means and a way for her purpose.

"So you should try so that I can help you."

"Miss..." Clever Annie seemed to understand Arya.

Afterward, for the first few days, Annie seemed a little depressed, but she soon regained her vigor. Then she began to visit the Burboom's shop again, which she had not been there for a while. She seemed to have an ulterior motive to show her face often.

"Today, he even served snacks himself. Of course, it didn't taste good because there was no sugar in it, but... I was so happy about it, though!"

"Good for you, Annie. Baron Burboom seems to be a brusque man, so I think it's quite advanced."

Aria added a little caution so that she would not suffer the same grief as in the past, and Annie no longer showed a sad face. She was a smart girl, as her goal was firm.

'It was just because of my face that he was interested in anyway.'

So Aria hoped Annie would win the heart of Burboom with more sincerity than this. In the past, the face alone hadn't lasted very long.

Besides, they really looked quite close as they often saw each other as Annie's wish. Even though Aria didn't know the details because she didn't see Baron Burboom anymore, but according to Annie, it was so.

Anyway, it was smooth. There were some people who could be called allies compared to the past, and she dealt with Mielle's mischievous acts with determination. She also began making a new investment in Baron Burboom and was introduced to other businessmen by the baron at his youth business group meeting.

And what she liked most about this moment was that the servants and maids of the mansion only treated her with special treatment. It was during dinner time with everyone when she realized that.

'... why did the dressing suddenly taste so good?'

As Aria cocked her head at the taste of the sweet sauce, she saw Mielle sitting opposite her putting the salad plate aside.
