The Scandal Of The Century, Part VI

Editor Group: Liber Reverie

According to reports by the maids of the mansion, if there had been a big incident, Mielle had received a letter from the princess. And they also said that even before the incident, letters had often arrived. So she must have gone for advice again this time.

'And how angry and upset the princess would be because she would think I intercepted the Crown Prince.'

Before the Crown Prince, Aria had also had a scandal with Isis's lovely brother. Aria hadn't met her a few times, but she was sure Isis wanted to rip her to death because she had been involved in bad things.

'Now that Mielle is dependent on her, is the real enemy the princess?'

If she were to continue her meeting with the Crown Prince anyway, the princess would naturally be an enemy, but apart from that, she was bound by her personal grudge. Aria could not forget the hostile look at Mielle's birthday party.

So she spent the day thinking about how to stop Isis from seeking new power by marrying the king of another country, and how to check it, but a guest visited her late in the evening. He was an unexpected guest, with a bunch of tulip flowers that didn't wither easily, and a gift box in his hand.

"... Mr. Lane?"

"I'm sorry if I'm late at night. I've been on a business trip to a faraway place, and I didn't have a free time to visit."

His visit meant that she could hear the news of Asher. She was in a hurry to prepare tea, but unfortunately, the Count and Cain came home at that moment.

The Count had to inform Cain of his work and deal with the accumulated work, so he looked very tired. It was also because of the rumors circulating between her two daughters. He had not cared about his stepdaughter when she had been a wicked woman, but how painful it must be for his own daughter to become a wicked woman. However, the rumors were all grounded and he did not take action otherwise. If there were no grounds for the rumors, he would have been around, saying, "This was all Aria's work."

That was why the Count did not like Lane, who had come to visit after a long time. It was also because there was nothing more to take from him.

"What brings you here so late? I remember you said that you wouldn't come anymore. Don't tell me, you came here because you were interested in Aria?"

The Count, who had tried to pass Aria on to Rain in the past, was now wondering if Lane would be interested in Aria. He didn't even know Aria was snorting at his two-faced figure. Cain also glared at Lane with a face similar to his father's.

They did not welcome him enough to make him uncomfortable, but Lane answered with a careless face, "Haha. I wanted to, but I was wondering if the Count is doing well. My master asked me to say hello and he is very interested in the Count's business."

"Really? Well... then."

When Lane even mentioned his master, who had helped the Count, he suggested that Rain eat with him, with his exhausted body, since he could no longer be uncomfortable. He seemed, of course, to think that Lane had come to see him. Lane looked a little uncomfortable, but soon nodded and headed to the dining room. The bouquets and gifts he had prepared were given to Aria at the instruction of Asher so that all his business was done.

'Why didn't Mr. Asher come by himself?'

He used to come to her room. As she was curious, she hurried up to her room and opened the letter. The present was a backseat.
