When she held his hands still, exchanging such ticklish words, she was overcome with a sense of satisfaction, even though she didn't exchange special actions or words. That was why people wanted to meet someone and date. Aria learned about it well over twenty years later.

And the new feeling changed Aria's future. It was changed from the shady future that was dotted with only darkness to the one in which light existed and was rather challenging. Aria, who had been so happy for a while, checked the time that had already passed and hurriedly said something she had prepared,

"Do you remember Lady Sarah, a daughter of the family of Viscount Lauren, who will be a wife of the Marquis?"

"Oh, of course, I remember."

"I don't know if she'll have time... I would like to ask Lady Sarah to teach students at the academy. What do you think? I thought it would be better to learn manners since everyone is a commoner."

Aria added that Sarah used to be her tutor and that she felt rewarded in teaching children and wanted to become a teacher later on.

Realizing that she didn't just say that Sarah's dream was to be a teacher, Asher erased his tender smile and took out the Crown Prince's face.

"If that happens, the people in the middle will be quite agitated."

"I'm sure so. Because there were a series of incidents lately..."

Aria, who had said that far, was wary of Asher. She thought he would already know about the princess, but just in case. Then he answered, 'I know what happened recently,' and continued with confidence,

"I'm sure there will be some nobles who will change their stance to support me because Marquis Vincent and Lady Sarah declared their support for me."

Aria also came back to the face of the investor and explained what he could get. It was possible because the two were helping each other to change their future, not just a relationship that led to a love affair between a man and a woman.

After talking for so long, Asher suddenly asked a question as he was preparing to go back late at night.

"Oh, by the way, did you have any private talk with the judge in court?"

Then Aria shook her head and said, "The judge? No...? I don't even remember her name."

"I see."

"What happened?"

"No, she was curious about you. She even asked me to set up a table to meet you, if it's okay."

"... Me?"

'Even her face was vague, but why? Doesn't she like me who meets Asher? Come to think of it, it occurred to her that the judge had checked her face in court and hesitated.' So when she furrowed her forehead because she could only think of negative thoughts, Asher tried to reassure and kissed Aria on the back of her hand.

"But..."

"She's already deployed far away from power. She's also a woman who's not married. She can't get involved with me. She's probably curious because the rumors are great."

"I'm glad to hear that."

Nevertheless, there were fears that she might not know. Once again, Asher set Aria at ease, and said that he would make a formal visit next week."

"I'll send a letter to the mansion."

Then Aria smiled as she tried to touch the back of her hand for a while when he had disappeared like a ghost. Then, a few days later, the mansion was disturbed by a letter stamped with the imperial seal. Of all occasions, it arrived early in the morning, and the Count delayed even going out, and the Countess blushed like a girl.
