Annie hadn't seen him show up in person, and Aria thought Annie would never tell anyone that he had come because she still had a lot to get from herself. Besides, even if she would speak, they had already declared official dating, and what would be a problem?

"The tea you got as a gift... Huck!"

Annie, who entered the room in Aria's call, found him as a matter of course and became as rough as she was in surprise, and Aria rebuked her,

"What are you doing there? I was just about to get thirsty, but that's great."

"Yes? Yes..."

Annie wanted to ask how he had been here, but she was quick-witted, so she prepared refreshments without asking otherwise. Of course, she tried to listen and get even a little bit of information, but the important conversation was over and, to make matters worse, she couldn't get any information because Aria asked her to leave the room.

"Is it a Bacchians black tea? That's a great tea. It's not easy to get."

"Oh, Miss Frey gave it to me as a visiting gift."

"... That's what it is. She must have liked you enough to give you such a precious tea as a present. I'll be sure to find out more about her brother."

After enjoying the tea for a short time, Asher got up from his seat, saying, "I have to go now."

"Are you going now?"

"It's already too late at night. It's too late to be alone with a woman. I was just going to check your face and go back."

When Aria was very sorry, he smiled and held her hand.

"I'll be back next week at the same time. Please don't forget this time."

And as usual, he kissed Aria's hand and disappeared. When she called Annie back to clear the table a little later, she responded with a hidden response and asked Aria, with her mouth wide open.

"... My god. Where did he come in? I didn't see him coming. No, where else did he disappear?"

"He came through the window and went out."

"Re, really!?"

"Every time you make a fuss if he comes. That's all he has to do to drink the tea quietly, isn't it?"

Indeed, there was no other way but to get through the window, so Annie, who believed Aria, shut her mouth and was amazed.

"Well, that's right...! But I think it's too dangerous."

"You don't have to worry about it because he said it's his specialty."

When she mentioned in a nuance that she no longer wanted to comment on this issue, Annie replied, "I understand." Then she took out another topic.

"Oh, come to think of it, Miss Mielle seemed to have exchanged letters with the princess again. According to the maid who glanced over the contents, she said the princess praised Miss Mielle."

"... Really?"

'What else did she do? Did the princess praise Mielle for her passionate opposition to the relationship between Asher and me recently? Or is she up to something bad about it?' Judging from the maid's testimony that she had been exchanging letters with the princess before she could do anything bad, Aria thought it would be unusual.
