His eyes glazed in front of Aria, who returned to her place after leaving words of significance. Aria, who took a sip of a cold tea, hit the last wedge.

"But I'm still nervous, so what should I do?"

'Please let Cain punish Emma himself.' She announced the end of their tea time, hoping to run down Mielle.

"I wish I could drink tea with my brother from time to time... I don't have much time left until I become an adult."

Like his father, Cain, who was so easily charmed by beauty, immediately became Aria's ardent ally. He suggested doubling the number of people looking for Berry at the dining room, where she had just gone down in the case.

"If we drag this any longer, even the family's credibility will be questioned."

The Count readily agreed. It was thanks to the fact that he had become quite useful to her. It was only Mielle who had a negative opinion.

"There's already a lot of people looking for her, so what difference will it make if we add more people?"

When Aria, who had heard her, agreed with a very lonely face, Cain, who frowned at her, responded to Mielle.

"So, Mielle, I think Emma's name is mentioned as someone involved in this case."

Mielle was surprised by what her brother said, so she raised her voice.

"Brother, do you even suspect Emma?"

"Where there's smoke, there's fire. In fact, Berry has been working for Emma for a long time."

"Never! She's not the kind of person who would be involved in such a terrible thing!"

It was unfamiliar to see her face blush, and she was screaming and denying. With that ugly figure she had never seen before, she could see how much Mielle wanted to protect Emma.

'So, I have to make sure that Emma is the main driver of this. Maybe I'll see Mielle wailing and fainting. Why didn't I realize that Emma was a very good prey?'

Aria said soothingly to Mielle, "If she's not really guilty, it's a rumor that's going to go away soon, Mielle. Don't worry. Isn't that right, Cain?"

"... Yes."

But Emma was guilty and would be subjected to terrible punishment. Mielle's face turned white as she watched Aria exchange answers with her brother more friendlier than herself. Intuitively, she must have felt that something was wrong.

Cain was overly aggressive in trying to solve this incident, doubling the number of people looking for Berry and asking the servants and maids about Berry. And occasionally he made progress, threatening Mielle unintentionally.

"Miss, Emma is out again!"

Aria smiled a sour smile as she listened to Annie's report. She had been close to Mielle's side so far, but she went out alone as soon as Cain put his energy into the investigation.

Now that the time had come to finish this tedious task, Aria had also sent out men, and they found some traces of Berry. She had commissioned most of the mercenaries waiting in the capital, and it was only a matter of time before she was caught.
