Isis's expression who said "that's a good thing" was not a reassuring face at all. On the contrary, it said, "If you have something to say, you can say it." Mielle answered without delay because she had intended to carry on the following words even if Isis did not stick to her generous attitude.

"Nevertheless, I get lonely sometimes."

"... Oh, my God, I'll have to scold him for making such a lovely Mielle lonely."

"No! I just feel that way alone. Rather, I didn't help Oscar who has worked so hard."

Feeling like a real scolding, Mielle rushed to make an excuse for Oscar. Of course, even though she knew Isis would never do so, she deliberately shook her head, blushing her face, as what Isis wanted from Mielle was such behavior and speech tone.

Isis wanted the image that she was smart but would not come forward, and sometimes complained but obedient. In addition, she had to keep an infinitely low stance to the really influential person of the family of Duke Frederick. There was nothing she could do to get engaged to Oscar, and Mielle did it very easily because Isis was the only one who could connect her with Oscar.

Isis smiled contentedly. "Don't worry, Mielle. Oscar will surely be engaged with you."

"... will it really be?"

"Yes, of course, if I think so, it will be done."

Even if Oscar was the successor to the duke, he was just a doll who listened to Isis, who had real power. Aside from the royal family, she was the eldest daughter of the most powerful family, and her unique cleverness and cunning earned the enthusiastic support of the Aristocratic Party.

Therefore, no one could disobey her whose engagement with the Crown Prince was in progress. Even more so, her younger brother, Oscar, would be.

"The rumor is just a rumor."

'Did she also hear the rumor about Aria?' But it would have been a useless rumor that would do no good. Anyways, with one word from Isis, Oscar would go to Mielle.

"Finally, Oscar is here. Shall we talk about the back story when he sits down?"

"... Yes!"

In Mielle's eyes towards Isis, there was boundless trust. Oscar, who discovered Isis, came by her side with a big step.

"Have you had lunch, Oscar?"

"... Lady Mielle is with you."

"Didn't I tell you?"

"..."

Oscar gave no answer to Isis, who had not said a word or two about Mielle's visit.

"Please sit down, Oscar. You'd better have some tea and rest."

He sat next to Mielle without a word because he dared not to sit next to her sister. Mielle blushed and glanced at Oscar. She didn't even get a proper greeting, but she looked good whatever he did.

"I haven't seen you in a long time, Mr. Oscar."

"How have you been?"

"Your face is very bad."

"I think it's the last moment of the semester."

"I wish I could take care of you, besides... I'm sorry I couldn't do that."
