The man hastily picked up the scattered papers.

He was in such a hurry that he unconsciously let go of his noble bearing and kneeled on the ground.

“Sheesh! Look where you’re going… Huh? Y-young miss!”

The man hurriedly bowed his head.

It seemed as if he knew who Aria was, but unfortunately, the little girl was unfamiliar with his identity.

“Is young miss, alright? You’re not hurt anywhere, are you…?”

Aria interrupted the man and presented him a card.

[Who are you?]

He was slightly offended by her words, but he still answered her question.

“My name is Rosen Stewart.”

Baron Stewart.

One of the scribes of the Valentine Family.

Aria had heard of his name once.

She observed him for a moment before writing on another card.

[Why is the scribe of the family here?]

“Well, I am here to organize the documents recorded by the other scribes.”

‘Ah.’

Aria remembered that besides the Valentines, the scribes could also freely access the library.

‘Well, he doesn’t look suspicious.’

Aria secretly approved of him and decided that he could pass.

However, the scribe felt uncomfortable with her attitude.

‘Why is she looking at me like that?’

She was eyeing him weirdly and even asked why he came to the library.

Was she doubting him?

‘No way… Did she see the contents of the paper?’

But that would be impossible.

How could she read the text in less than 30 seconds?

There was quite a distance between her and the papers as well. She would not be able to read them as she was so far away.

The scribe decided that Aria was just being rude because she hadn’t learned proper manners yet.

‘She may be able to walk freely around the house now, but she’ll be kicked out soon anyway.’

There are rumors that the Grand Duke of Valentine was protecting her, but who knows how long it would last.

The scribe knew that no matter how cute Aria was, she would soon be expelled.

‘The Grand Duke is a fickle person. His love for her is useless and the servants’ kindness will all be for naught.’

Even if the Prince miraculously showed interest in the child, it wouldn’t make even the slightest difference.

For it was too late.

‘Because the day the Grand Duchess dies will be the day she gets kicked out of here.’

The scribe pitied the ignorant child who went around thinking that the world revolved around her, when in fact, she knew nothing at all.

‘That time will soon come.’

But the scribe wasn’t stupid enough to say those words out loud.

He was informed that the second son of the Beauport family had received punishment for carelessly making fun of the young miss. So he ought to be careful of his words as well.
