Mielle, who had fallen and been transported, did not return to the mansion. Maybe she took a rest in the hospital. She might not have the courage to return to the mansion where Aria was.

Moreover, because Cain did not return, Aria was able to rest in the mansion and go to court the next day after reassuring the Countess, riding in the unexpected carriage of Asher.

"... Mr. Asher? How did you come here...?" Aria, facing Asher, who was savoring tea in the garden with great ease, could not keep her word to the end in embarrassment.

Asher answered her question with a gentle smile, "I'm here to meet you."

The maid next to her was trembling in a pale face.

'Oh, my God. Is it OK for the Crown Prince to show his face to such a trifle? You're even drinking tea without saying anything.'

Aria had no idea that he had arrived until she left the house after preparing if he had told the servants and maids not to tell what he had arrived.

"How do you do your job?"

"There's nothing urgent."

Asher rose as he shook his seat. Then he reached out to Aria.

The leisurely figure gave Aria a small laugh. She was not seen as someone who had been framed and went to court to get a verdict. So the servants and maids, who had been worrying about Aria with open eyes all night, could feel a little relieved when they saw her smiling.

"Shall we go?"

At the urging of Asher, Aria held his hand. Then, she headed to the court in a very large, colorful carriage with the seal of the imperial family which seemed to have been deliberately prepared. Perhaps the Crown Prince was around her, so the guards followed her from a little distance.

She could see people with their eyes wide open and their heads bent toward the carriage at every passing street. Without having to explain, it was clear that they would look at where the wagon was headed and assumed that it was the Crown Prince's carriage carrying Aria.

'Don't tell me you're going to show off on purpose...?'

It was the same when he had visited the mansion of the county family last time, but it was a man who tried to show off in a really strange place. Then Aria narrowed her eyes and stared at him, and he asked again, "Why? Is there anything wrong?"

"No, it's just..."

She did that because everything was cute; his neat face, his hand that held her hand, and his curious eyes. Besides, he was trying to show off his relationship with her, none other than shown.

Her heart tickled for nothing because he looked just like a man of his age. When Aria had been that age, she had never felt it. Aria touched her heart because of the feeling that she could only feel back in time.

"Lady Aria...? Are you sick?"

When he asked her with a worried look, Aria smiled a little and nodded her head.

"I think so. Sometimes when I chat with you, I've felt my heart is strange."

Her heart is strange...! What is that...? Asher was about to turn the wagon, startled, but he could understand what Aria meant.

"...!"

Asher opened his eyes wide and covered his mouth with his palm. As she looked at the redness of his earlobes. Nevertheless, his gaze was still facing to Aria's eyes. Aria also faced Asher's gaze.
