At the words, Aria's face hardened. No way. Aria gave a desperate look to her mother, who was the only one there on her side. But on purpose, her mother didn't make eye contact with Aria. The elegantly smiling face served only to bless the noble future of Mielle from the beginning of time. She didn't seem to care about Aria's desperate look.

Isis continued her words, "It's a little early, but we can't help it because they love so much."

At Isis's words, Mielle laughed with a happy face. Aria's heart fell down.

'Why?' Aria could predict what Isis was going to say without having to listen to what she was about to say. Aria's gaze suddenly turned to Oscar, who stood next to Mielle. Oscar fixed his eyes on his sister without making any facial expressions.

'... really, you've turned away.'

Aria tried to find it over and over again, but she had been constantly searching for other reasons for their sudden loss of contact because of her lingering attachment. She was assuming that it was because of Princess Isis.

'But... that's really what Oscar wanted.'

If not, he would not be able to accept it, nodding through. Now she really needed to throw away the card of Oscar. What would she do if she held on to someone who had never looked at her in the past or even now? Nevertheless, she kept looking at Oscar's expression because he was the best card to hurt Mielle.

"When Lady Mielle becomes an adult, we are going to hold an engagement ceremony right away. I'm going to give her the ring of promise that is passed down to our family from generation to generation."

Oscar moved at Isis's hand gesture. He took a small ring out of his arms. It was a diamond ring in the shape of a rose. It was also owned by the wife of the Duke of Frederick for generations. Mielle reached out her hand with a shy, red face. It was time for the duchess of the future to receive the ring.

Aria couldn't bear to see it, so she got up from her seat. No one paid attention to a wicked woman's departure. No, except for one. Oscar's gaze followed Aria, who was climbing up the stairs. After he had arrived here, he had put her in his eyes.

And when Mielle noticed this, she spoke to Oscar, who had stopped moving, "What a pretty ring. I never dreamed I'd be wearing a promise ring."

Oscar's hand, which had stopped, moved again. It was to put the ring of promise on Mielle's finger. There was nothing he could do about a future that was already set.

"Miss Aria!"

It was in the garden on the second floor that Aria moved her steps in defiance of Annie calling her name from behind, a garden created by the countess with lofty tastes. And it was also a place where Oscar and Aria had memories of.

'Why did I come here...? What on earth did he come here for?'

Well, it was time for her to let Oscar go perfectly. He would no longer return to Aria. He even announced his engagement to everyone. Oscar showed no interest in her, though she would be willing to be a foreign object if he showed her a wobbly look.

Annie barely gasped for breath and said to Aria, who was entering the garden. "Miss... why don't you go back to your room?" She blurted her words with concern because she was one of the few who knew Aria had exchanged letters with Oscar.
