Then Asher, who had kept his mouth shut, as though he had been holding up something pleasant while Aria had been speaking. It was a bit of a mess, unlike the first one, but he had a fine smile. She didn't know why, but it was a smile that he seemed to feel good.

"We've got a lot of good ideas."

Everyone glistened their eyes, paying attention to Asher's remarks. It also seemed that they would carefully listen to every word without missing a single one. And so did Lane, who sometimes had a playful look on his face. She was swayed by the atmosphere and the complexion of Aria changed too.

"I think that the best opinion is... to pass it on to the Aristocratic Party."

It was Aria's opinion.

"Most of all, I liked the idea that we could reprimand the Aristocratic Party later."

Her cheeks turned a little red when she was praised for not using the hourglass. It was because it was the first time that she had received such praise by someone in the past and the present.

After confirming this, the smile of Asher became stronger.

"As you all know... that's a rare opportunity."

The debate, which had lasted for quite a long time, ended with Aria's opinion. The opinion was that the Crown Prince needed to sacrifice his small will for the greater one. Asher seemed quite pleased with it.

'But as I said so, but after all, it's just a desk theory. However, everyone's got a lot of emotional input.'

Moreover, there was also a nobleman here to the bone, but everyone discussed it for the benefit of the Crown Prince. Aria checked the condition of Vika, a member of the Aristocratic Party. He had a very bright look on his face, talking to the man sitting next to him.

As she cocked her head in wonder, he looked at her, feeling her stare. Unexpectedly, he smiled and praised her for her brilliance.

"Why didn't I know such a wise woman as Aria until now?"

"I'm sure I wasn't great enough to make a name for a man I had no acquaintance with."

"Haha, you're too modest. I'm glad to know you even now. I hope to see you more often in the future."

'What the hell is Vika thinking?' She remembered that during the debate, he had only put forward his opinions that would not hurt the Crown Prince as much as possible. So no progress had been made. Even though others had also done that, but she knew he was a member of the Aristocratic Party, she realized it was a very strange act. She also had a hunch that he was very dangerous.

'Let's not pay any attention.'

Aria shook her head. She only attended the meeting to broaden her knowledge and give Mielle the worst possible end. Further speculation and meddling were meaningless.

After the meeting broke up, the people gathered in the basement left with the time difference. It was a very attentive meeting, not to mention the place to gather.

In the order that Lane set them out, the rest were Aria, Asher, and Lane. Asher asked Lane, who did not go out when his turn came, with a chin gesture.

"What are you doing without going out?"

"... Yes? Do I have to go out, too?"

"Get out."

Lane went out in embarrassment, on Asher's stern answer. All the people went out, and Aria and Asher were left in the empty space. It was Aria who opened her mouth first,
