It wasn't because there was a plan. It was just fun. 'Why should I go ahead and give them pleasure?' That was not necessary.

"Jessie, deliver this letter to Sarah. And bring a snack to the room."

Aria wrote a letter describing her situation to Sarah. She sealed it finely and handed it to Jessie.

"You just said you weren't feeling well." Annie said that she would bring Aria's meal instead of the puzzled Jessie.

She spent a leisurely morning relaxing with light soups and drinks and organizing her plans for the future. Looking out, she saw some young men who seemed to be wrestling with guards in front of the mansion gate.

"... Lady Aria...! Just a moment...!"

Aria didn't hear what he was saying because he was too far, but she thought that it might have something to do with himself after the completion ceremony. So Aria sent Annie to find out about the disturbance, and it was as she had guessed.

"He's making a fuss about showing his business plan to you."

"Really?"

"They say he doesn't listen to them even if they ask him to go back. He wants to see you at least once. Even if I ask him to deliver the plan to Baron Burboom, he doesn't listen! How rude!"

That was understandable because it was rare to invest in a commoner with no foundation. In addition, there was a widespread rumor that Investor A's investment projects had all hit the jackpot. Moreover, she had invested in the academy like charity, and she had proudly declared that she would continue to invest, so anyone would want Aria to take a look at their business.

"Let him come in."

"... Miss?"

"It's my job to look at his business plan. I can't treat him badly since he had come this far."

She had managed to find a way to freshen up her image, so she couldn't throw away anything regardless of how small it was. Now was the time to embrace the poor and make the wicked woman into a saint.

"I'm sure he's been walking since early in the morning, so he'd better take a simple meal with me. Tell the servants and maids to decorate the garden for a meal, enough to serve a guest."

"But, but Miss...! You don't know what kind of trouble you can get into if you just let anyone come in!"

That was true, but she had the hourglass to prepare for such things. Aria smiled softly as she glanced at the hourglass she had placed at the cabinet.

"Annie, do you think I'm stupid?"

It was only then that Annie swallowed her saliva when she recalled that Aria had already gone through a lot of frightening things. Recently, Aria clearly showed a benevolent, soft-faced look and went around as if she were a saint, but Annie, who was nearby, could tell that the wicked woman sometimes lurked inside of her just as the rumors said.

"So make sure it's not too late to prepare it."

"... Yes, yes! Miss!"

With the help of Annie's quick actions, they quickly became ready to receive their guest in the garden. The Count, who had not been able to go out to hear the details from Aria, was puzzled and asked the servant why,

"I just heard... that Lady Aria told Annie to prepare..."

"Did Aria order it?"

The Count expressed his pride, misunderstanding that she had arranged the meeting place to explain the details to him. He didn't know that it was a big misunderstanding.
