Aria, who watched the two talk for a while, met eyes with Isis, who happened to turn her head. Hiding a look of surprise, Aria greeted Isis politely, and Isis replaced her answer with a cold look. It was a rude response, no matter how unnoticed it was, even the eldest daughter of the family of the Duke of Frederick.

'That's going to be her true self.'

Aria was not offended because she had already had that kind of reaction hundreds or thousands of times. On the contrary, she seemed to know her true self, so there came no laughter. And now she wanted to talk to Oscar more than that.

In return, Oscar, who noticed his sister's cold face, turned his head to see where his sister's eyes were going. At the unexpected sight of Aria, Oscar solidified himself with a surprised face.

Again, Aria greeted Oscar without losing her elegance. She added an alluring smile that had always thrown him into confusion and trials. It was also a reward for the birthday gift. It was a moment of wonder how he would react. The princess, who faced Aria's smile with Oscar, narrowed the middle of her brow to a point that it could not be seen.

'Should he blush? Or would he get out of his seat right now and come this way?'

The princess tapped Oscar's arm with a fan as Aria was expecting him to smile at least because he had left a gift behind in front of her room. Then Oscar, who bit his lower lip, turned his head coldly from Aria, without showing any answer.

The princess wiped her brother's cheek with a very benevolent and gentle smile, like a compliment. It happened very quickly.

'... Why the hell?'

Aria couldn't do anything for a while because she had never dreamed of being ignored by Oscar at the time when she had even received a gift. It was cruel of him not to give her a small smile, no matter how close the princess was.

After all, it was Oscar and the princess who left the seat first. He appeared to be leaving the mansion. Aria had been hardened on the stairs for a long time, but he had not given a single glance. It was the end of the loser. Aria bit her lips as soon as they left and returned to her room.

'How many times does he have to disappoint me?

Finally, after returning to her room feeling miserable, Aria stared at the brooch in her hand.

'If he was going to ignore this, why did he send me this brooch?'

Because she felt as if she had been fooled by him many times, she was so angry that she raised her hand to throw it in her hand, and at the end of her gaze, her eyes reached the bright-colored flower. It was a tulip sent by Asher, the flower that had not been in the past. It had been quite a while since she had received it, but its freshness remained unchanged.

When it caught her sight, she was now able to realize her own reality. Unlike in the past, she had been accomplishing many things. The tulip was one of them. When she thought so, she felt her anger chill.

'Foolishly... I tried to use him, but was it me who was eventually used?'

Aria had only given Mielle great happiness. The engagement was only a matter of time, as Mielle had even got the ring, though three years were left until her coming of age. Mielle might marry him with an engagement at the same time.

With her hatred of Oscar came the ugly face of Mielle, the main culprit of all this. Aria put strength to her hand which grabbed the brooch.

'The devilish bitch.'
