“Ah.”

He soon regained his mind.

“That’s what it was. Then you wouldn’t have needed help at all from the beginning.”

Gabriel, who had been engrossed, said, avoiding Aria’s gaze in amazement.

“I’m sorry that I went out for nothing and only caused you trouble.”

He scratched his cheek in embarrassment. And after putting the apology in his mouth, he quickly added.

“Of course, thank you for saving my life.”

Aria shook her head and held out her card.

[The path you’re walking on, don’t doubt it. That choice was never useless.]

Then, reading the card, Gabriel’s eyes widened.

‘This…… ’

It was similar to what he heard from the saint.

‘Is it a coincidence?’

Aria surprisingly knew the most special words of the person most dear to him.

‘I think the two of you feel alike.’

Their appearance was completely different, and their personality seemed to be completely on the opposite, but the atmosphere they exuded was comparable.

Gabriel felt uncomfortable yet strangely comfortable with Aria, who said the same thing as Veronica.

***

Shortly after the wedding, representatives of each department came to visit in turn.

“It was supposed to be like this from the beginning.”

Dana was relieved, saying that now everything is in its place.

Dana, the chief handmaiden of the family department.

Betty, the chief maid in the housekeeper’s department.

William, the chief butler of the butler department.

Baker, the chief chef in the cooking department.

The gardener, the hunting ground keeper and stable keeper of the outdoor department greeted her.

‘Even though I made an acquaintance with everyone.’

Still, she was happy to be officially introduced again. Although everyone was all strangely favorable to Aria.

‘But why are they so excited?’

Aria was fiddling with the bag, which she was habitually carrying.

Then they stared intently at the bag with twinkling eyes.

[Thank you as always.]

Aria took out her usual card to express her gratitude.

Then the hungry eyes followed the scrap of paper she took out. It was as if they were waiting for a compliment sticker.

“…..”

At first glance, it looked like madness.

‘How many compliments do you want to hear?’

Is the Valentine family obsessed with compliments? So she immediately picked up her quill and wrote something new.

[Please take care of me. Thanks to you, I feel reassured.]

“Young Madam…”

The stable keeper was deeply moved when she handed her card. Then the hunting ground keeper, who was next to him, glared at him with a gleam in his eyes.
