However, the Count did not take any action to correct it otherwise. Even She had contributed much to the warehouse business, but the Count had not even mentioned what was going on with the business, let alone recognize herself.

"I see. I thought you forgot because you didn't mention anything. That's why I moved independently."

Aria replied with a smile mixed with laughter. She didn't have to be wary anymore, so she blamed him for his faults. So the Count felt a prick of conscience and cleared his throat, and turned the sensitive topic as if he had done nothing wrong in the past.

"Yes, yes. Now I know it. From now on, I think you should go outside with Cain. I've got a lot of work to do!"

He proudly demanded that she should help his business in the future. It was a natural tone for Aria to help him. No, it was a tone that he would make that way.

"No, you know, I'm busy. There are young people who would come here like this, so I should welcome them. I can't leave my place because letters are coming from other countries."

However, the Count's mouth closed as if it had been stitched up by her firm refusal. Certainly, it was because she seemed to look busy for anyone. Perhaps he realized that he had already missed the opportunity, and the Count's eyes wandered through the air.

"... You've known the Crown Prince before, haven't you?"

Cain, who managed to find a gap, asked. His expression was quite serious. The Countess also waited with her eyes glistening for an answer, for she seemed curious.

"It's been two years since I was fourteen."

It was a remarkable period even when she said so. It had been two years since that bad relationship. The Crown Prince, who was a boy, would become an adult at the age of twenty, starting with this year's birthday. Starting with the coming-of-age ceremony, he would have an official appearance, and unlike in the past, he would exalt himself in the world.

'Can I be myself that would sit next to him?' She smiled with an uncanny smile of anticipation and anxiety, but Cain accepted it strange and furrowed his forehead to the fullest extent. The Countess made a fuss, saying, "Why did you hide it all this time?"

"I met him without knowing who he was. I only recently knew that he was the Crown Prince."

"Oh, my god...! It's like a story in a novel! You've fallen in love without knowing each other! How could it be romantic?"

She was like a girl in admiration. She seemed happy since her daughter had achieved a dream she had never dreamed of.

"Don't tell me, is that the man you met before in court, the Crown Prince... not Mr. Pinonua?"

"Oh, come to think of it, you've met him. That's right. Pinonua is... he said it's a name he borrowed for a while."

"Oh, did he come to court as he was worried about you, even if he was busy?"

"He said yes. Is this the end of the question? I think it's better to hear more about it when Mr. Asher comes. If I tell you all, the conversation between us will disappear."

Aria said that and returned to her room. In the warm sunlit garden, only three people left with different thoughts and hearts.

It took less than two days that the rumors that she had served meals to the young men who had visited her covered the capital.

The wicked woman of the rumor, no, Aria, now a beautiful investor of the rumors who had tried to raise her social status and understand the common people, smiled as she watched the young people gathered at the gate of the mansion today.
