It was a week after a bouquet of flowers and a letter arrived from Lane. As usual, he also sent a bouquet to Mielle. By the time the evening was almost over, the conversation naturally led to it.

"He said he was busy, but I am relieved that he sent you bouquets of flowers regularly."

"It won't be easy for him to let go of the bond with father."

"Haha. What are you talking about? It was you, Mielle, who he's showed interest from beginning to end."

Aria never thought of correcting the illusion of the count and Mielle. She put the well-roasted meat in her mouth as a side dish for the foolish father and daughter. The juicy meat ran over her throat, and her discomfort was also swept away.

'He told me the next meeting would be a month away.'

The place and time were the same as before. She went on eating in anticipation of what kind of debate they'd have next.

"But isn't that what he wanted Aria to see? There was a suggestion from father."

Aria was trying her best not to correct them, but as expected, thanks to Mielle, who tried to find fault with Aria, Aria's hands were slow to chop.

The count assisted Mielle. "Oh, that may be. He seemed to like Aria quite a bit."

"I think he'll get along well with Aria because he's friendly. Isn't that right, mother?"

Suddenly, Mielle asked for her opinion, and the countess opened her eyes wide.

'How can you say it to my mom, whose daughter would fit for a lower-class noble? Until just last year, you asked me about being a duchess.'

"... I still have to look into him, but I don't think his impression is bad."

However, Aria could not express her opposition at the time when the count actively agreed. Mielle seemed to want to spoil Aria's quiet enjoyment of the meal, just like her in the past that had driven her into a mess.

'I've let go of my exaltedness when I lost Oscar to you, and there's no end to it, Mielle.'

Aria, however, had no intention of leaving Mielle alone. "Oh, come to think of it, what's going on with the warehouse I told you about last time?" So Aria turned to a topic that Mielle had no knowledge of.

The count had a good complexion because of how happy he was. It seemed that it was going very well.

"It was for the best to do it that way when I took a closer look at it! I figured it wouldn't be bad if they were built not only in the capital but in all the big cities. So now we're on our way to finding the right land."

"Oh, my God... it was just a little delusion of mine, and it's like a dream."

"Not a delusion! You have been good at fur business, too. You're such a great kid that I want you to be the successor of my business group!"

Such an opportunity would not come to the prostitute's daughter, but she could see Mielle's face turning pale even if it were empty talk.

'So why did you provoke me? There was nothing to gain even if you provoked me.'

"Please give me a favor to let me know when you come up with a new idea."

"Yes, I will, father."

'If Mielle is being presumptuous again...'
