"You look pretty cold too."

Annie shook her head, surprised by Aria's sudden statement. "Oh, no. I'm fine."

"Really? You must be strong in the cold."

"Well, that's right..."

"Regardless, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold if you don't put anything on."

"It's all right..."

The maid looked very uncomfortable in the position she was in now. She had not expected to serve Aria, and Aria had also never imagined that such an opportunity would come. It would not have happened without the hourglass.

Sarah smiled softly while looking at Aria, who was taking care of even her maid.

"Do you mind if I do something different today, teacher?"

"Something new?"

"Yes. I'm looking forward to your social debut at the year's end, so I think we should rehearse."

'That way, Annie will start to envy me. Greedy... She seems very interested in that.'

"That's a good idea."

With Sarah's consent, Aria learned how to walk gracefully in her pointed shoes, how to gently fan herself, and how to respond to her escort.

Annie watched it from start to finish. Her eyes glistened with envy. It was a world unknown to her, which she would never experience in her life.

'So, if you give up early, your life will be smooth, but you can't hide your greed, so this wicked bitch will extend her hands to you.'

Finally, when checking the dance steps, Sarah's eyes widened, and she said, "Oh, I think you're better than me."

"Your compliment is too much. I guess it's thanks to the fact that I've been practicing alone."

The moves that Sarah and she practiced were very easy and simple for Aria, who had used to party all the time. In those days, she had only thought about making herself attractive to others.

Of course, all of the moves were meant to accentuate beauty, not to express grace, so they had to be accompanied by the etiquette that she had learned and practiced from Sarah. Fortunately, it wasn't that difficult. All she had to do was stop any indecent laughs, which naturally came out of her.

By the time they were about to start the dancing practice, with either one taking the role of man or woman at a time, Jessie returned from her errand. She hurriedly replaced Annie, her face flushed as she seemed to have run out of breath on her way to the third floor.

Annie left Aria's room with a look of regret because she couldn't watch the dance that was about to start now in earnest. At last, Aria saw that Annie's eyes went to the golden brooch on Jessie's chest.

'I'm sure you're wondering. Let's give her a little time to imagine all kinds of things.'

Aria burst into childish laughter and gave Jessie a cup of water.

"Mi-miss!"

"You didn't have to be in such a hurry... I felt sorry to see your face so flushed and poured the water without realizing it. Take it."

"Th-thank you!"

"There's nothing to do, so you can rest. Right, teacher?"

"Yes, I'm afraid she's going to faint like that."
