Aria wondered if Berry was going to die before she confessed. She burst into tears as if to be overcome with fear, and the Count belatedly raised his voice, saying, "What the hell is all this fuss about!"

The uproar was so great that after the Count stopped eating, and Mielle, Cain, and the Countess came out after him. They all looked unhappy with the situation.

"Ma, master."

"We're in trouble."

The real owners of the mansion appeared, and the servants and maids crowded in the hall paved the way for a good view of the arrested Berry.

"... Be, Berry?!"

Mielle's face was horrified to find Berry. Her eyes looked as if they were going to pop out. How dreadful and fearful she must be now that Berry had returned after betraying herself. Emma following her was also stone-hardened with her mouth open.

The Count, who was embarrassed because he didn't know if she came back into the mansion on her own feet, shouted, "Please contact the security forces," and the Countess, who was relieved of her legs, fell on the floor unseemly. Cain hurried to Aria and stood guard against her.

"I, I have...! Words...! Ugh...!"

Berry managed to wring her voice from under pressure. Everyone's eyes were on her, and as if she were trying to stop her from speaking, Mielle sank and wrapped her head in fear.

"Uh, we have to let her shut up and call the guards! She's too dangerous!"

Emma raised her voice too much and made a fuss, but Aria had no intention of letting Berry leave, and of losing the opportunity she had barely made.

"Berry's got something... I think she's going to say something important."

Then Aria grabbed Cain's sleeve and answered. It was a small voice that was only audible to Cain. Cain stared for a moment at Aria's hand, which caught up in his sleeve, and her pale face, and soon insisted in a loud voice that they needed to hear Berry's.

"It's a woman with no power. She's tied, so there's no danger. It'll take time for the guards to arrive, so we'll have to hear why she showed up."

The Count nodded at his reasonable remarks. When things didn't go as planned, only Mielle and Emma showed fear in cold sweat.

"But, but what if she hides a weapon in her body? I'm so scared...!"

At that abominable look, Aria answered with her head sticking out from Cain's back,

"It's also a little bit like that, too. So, Mielle, wouldn't you rather go up to the room? I want to listen to her because I have a guess..."

"Yes, miss. You'd better go up."

Emma's expression was horrified when Annie, who was no different from Aria's slave, helped her. How upset she was because there were two maids who betrayed them.

"Mielle, as you say, it may be dangerous, so go up."

The Count also urged her, who had nothing to do with the incident, to go up to the room, and after all, Mielle wouldn't leave, clinging on Emma's arm, saying, "It might be okay because there are so many people." So Aria glanced at her from behind Cain's back.

At the same time that she was given a chance to speak, the trap of squeezing Berry's body loosened a little. When Berry saw the glistening eyes of Aria, she took a big breath and slowly opened her mouth,
