She had thought it was unusual, but she hadn't thought it had such a deep meaning. Now it wasn't surprising that there was such magic—moving through space and turning back time—and that it was a simple magic.

'What else can I blame him, who said he was worried and ran straight ahead without delay, for? Even his ability that he had been hiding all the time had been revealed.

If it had not been Mielle alone who had been there, but dozens, no, hundreds... Aria overlapped her hands in the hands of Asher, who wrapped her shoulder.

"... Thank you for coming."

A subdued voice came out with a bit of trembling. It was simply because of the fact that he had come, and she had no way to undo this misery that dominated her mind and was angry without knowing it, and she was so sorry. 'Is there anyone else in the world who would worry so much about me as much as him?' No, she could affirm that there was no one else.

After a brief pause in Aria's frank confession, Asher suddenly embraced her tightly. He held Aria in his arms, fearing that she might disappear at any moment.

"Thank you very much for being safe."

In the darkened woods, the two felt precious to each other for a long time.

"No, I just thought I was too shameless. You are still so young and innocent..."

'Oh, my God. If the other guy said that, I'd slap him on the cheek, but you... why are you so cute? You don't even know that I'm much older and not pure.'

If it were not for the situation, she might have answered that it would be okay for him to be shameless. She didn't know what he had come up with, but she also thought she might have answered that it was okay for him to do so.

He kept his eyes in the air and didn't move for a while. Then he reached out to Aria with a face that said, "Nothing happened," as if he had admitted his shameless self.

"Shall we go?"

As soon as Aria, who smiled at him, nodded, the two disappeared in an instant from the small villa in the forest.

"How—how can you be here in this shabby place when you are a noble...?"

Because of the Crown Prince, who suddenly appeared in the middle of the night, a Viscount managing a small estate that was quite far away from the capital appeared like the wind. This was because he was told that a beautiful woman and the Crown Prince, who showed up without a single servant, were looking for him.

Perhaps he was about to go to bed, but without proper clothing, he visited a restaurant where the Crown Prince waited. He was in a hurry, and he was short of breath though he had ridden a wagon. Asher didn't care about this, and he didn't feel sorry for him at all.

"I'm sorry if I had come this late at night. Maybe it's a small estate, so there's no place to stay."

He added a word, hitting his glass against Aria's glass on the other side. His eyes were filled with affection.

"I don't know if I'm alone, but my lover is with me."

The eyes of the Viscount were naturally directed at Aria.

"...!"

'Oh my God, can a woman of this world be this beautiful?'

All he could see was her beautiful appearance even though she wore clothes and jewelry that were clearly the finest. Any rhetoric in the world would be insufficient. For this reason, the Viscount was simply absent-minded and was drawn to her, forgetting that she came with the Crown Prince.
