'If you had just dressed up like this, I would have recognized that you are the Crown Prince.'

Aria greeted him with a flush of redness as he was more attentive than the academy's completion ceremony.

"Mr. Asher, you've had a hard time after coming a long way."

"I was just happy on my way to see you."

Asher said in a friendly manner. They could only hear his voice, but they could feel how much he was for Aria.

"And the hardships must have been with the people in the mansion."

'What a benevolent person you are.' The Crown Prince might be a little arrogant, but Asher said something he didn't want to say to the people around him.

"Many people have suffered as you said, so please look around the mansion decorated with all their heart."

"I'll do that. I'm looking forward to it. Will you guide me?"

"Sure. Who else would do except me?"

In response, even Aria performed a pretentious performance, giving great emotion and joy to those who could only hear their voices.

"... Mr. Asterope."

As the two continued their futile talk in front of those who had bowed their heads, one of the closest aides of Asher finally winked at him by calling his name. This was because the conversation continued until all the presents on the wagon were dropped.

The one who spoke was well acquainted with Aria. It was Sorke, the knight whom she had met in the general store. Sorke, whose eyes met Aria, paid a brief silent tribute to her.

"Oh, I'm sorry. You can all stand up."

Only then did the people of the mansion, who raised their heads, identified the face of Asher. Unlike the secret rumors that he had shown only the weak aspects pushed by the Aristocratic Party, he was so bright and handsome, and they tried to swallow their reactions that were about to erupt.

'What on earth is that gold and silver coin?' An unheard-of gift of a wagonload of great gifts stole their attention. It was like a great gift in a fairy tale.

"This is my father and my mother."

The Count and Countess, who were briefly fascinated by Aria's introduction, bowed down again.

"I heard you're good people. Especially, the Count was very good at business. Lady Aria may have inherited that brilliance. And the Countess... you're such a beauty. I thought the most beautiful woman in the empire was Aria, but there are actually two. Thank you for allowing me to visit this way."

The tension disappeared a little from the Count and Countess's face as he complimented them by flattery as if he had oiled his mouth. They had been very worried because he was the Crown Prince, but he was so different. The Countess gazed ecstatically at him with a flushed face.

"And here... my brother Cain and sister Mielle."

Cain and Mielle took their courtesy at the introduction of Aria, which followed. It wasn't a bright look, but it wasn't even a face to be pointed out. They looked nervous, but the Crown Prince could overlook it. As expected, they were nobles, who knew how to hide their true self.

"I see."

Nevertheless, the response from Asher was cool. It was because he recognized Cain's face. He couldn't think of him as a good man who had shown his possessiveness to Aria in court. It was the dirty desire to possess her under the mask for her younger sister.
