The family of Count Roscent had been her faithful dog, and their relationship would become very close if the engagement of Mielle and Oscar took place. So Cain and Mielle, who had power on their backs, were able to cut Aria's head easily without much trial.

It was quite bad for Aria if they got acquainted. Even so, because she couldn't think of a way to stop it, she was just sitting still.

"Really?"

Aria answered carelessly. Then, to regain attention from Aria, Annie released the following information.

"Well, it was about Mr. Oscar!"

"Was that so?"

"Yes! I didn't hear any more details, but... I'm sure it's about the engagement!"

She was pretty quick-witted. It was also good to give her master the information she needed.

"Why do you think so?"

"That's it..."

She had been so good at chattering so far, but she suddenly closed her mouth. 'Why? Did she do something dishonest?' It was only then that Aria expressed her interest. She was wondering where she had stolen Mielle's information.

"The truth is... I've just read a letter from Miss Mielle to Princess Frederick..."

As expected, she was full of wickedness to the bone. She had been jealous and envious of her master's wealth, and Aria had seduced her, and Annie had betrayed her master in an instant. When Aria's eyes narrowed, Annie hurriedly made an excuse.

"Of, of course, I've never read the contents of Miss Aria's letters! It was sealed tightly in the first place."

"You mean you'd read them if I hadn't sealed them?"

"I wouldn't have done that! Absolutely not!"

Annie even waved her hand and denied it. No, she must have ripped open the sloppy letter. She didn't mean to scold her or kick her out because of her behavior. Annie couldn't betray her anyway.

Annie must have wondered about Mielle's secret, who pretended to be noble and lofty. Furthermore, it was information that would help her. It was not a big matter for Annie to read that letter. Aria smiled softly and sweetened Annie.

"Well, of course. I believe you, Annie."

"... re-really?"

"You happened to see it, didn't you? Letters were spread out on the table, so you could easily see them when you cleaned, or you would check them if you thought it was garbage as they were on the floor."

Aria gave Annie a chance to tell a natural lie. Aria also flashed Annie a smile as if she was telling her that she did a job well done regardless of what answer she chose.

"That's right...! I came across it while cleaning!"

"I knew that was the case."

"Miss...! Thank you very much for believing."

'So, what's the content?' At Aria's eye expression, Annie said what she had seen.

"How far have I told you? Oh! The letter she was going to send to the princess said that she was sorry that she didn't have a chance to meet him because he was busy and that she wanted to be an adult soon and be with him."

'Isn't it quite clever to look into the real influential person of the family of the Duke of Frederick and even send a letter in person?'

Maybe it wasn't the end yet, but Annie kept on talking, "The last thing she wrote was that she needs the princess's help. Most of the contents of the long letter were about Oscar. She only had one line of greeting for the princess who was going to receive the letter. Even the common people don't write it that way." Said Annie, who spoke ill of Mielle.
