"... Count. long time no see."

"Yes. Long time no see, Vika. How are you? "

"Of course."

Vika couldn't ask the Count how he was, and he finished with a smile, the Count nodded to the Marquis beside him and asked him who he was.

"Ah, he was a little helped by Count the other day."

"It's Pia. I've been grateful to you the other day."

"I see. I'm sorry I can't remember you. "

"No. You can do that. There were a lot of rumors that you were doing great grace to the poor."

"Haha. Was it? I would be very happy if it was."

The look of the Count who replied was so bright. For he could no longer serve as active, but simply mentioning the glory of the past could have made him a great favor, despite having never met.

This allowed Vika and the Marquis to have a long conversation with the Count. They delayed the time as long as possible and waited for Aria, but she didn't come out of her room.

"Oh, time is already here. It's already dinner time."

And the Countess, bored by their visit, gave a secret order to leave to the Marquis and Vika. But the Count did not want them to leave, so he offered them dinner so that they could stay at the mansion for a little more.

"Have you had dinner?"

"No, not yet."

Vika bit the bait, wondering if Aria would show up at the dining room, and the Countess gave an uncomfortable look and ordered servants to prepare dinner for the two of them. It was not difficult to add a meal for two people because the ingredients were well prepared.

"We had a guest?"

The Marquis, who turned his head in a clear, transparent voice, had to be hardened as if time had stopped, and Vika's eyes sparkled and he smiled as he was watching it.

"You are Mr. Vika, right?"

"It's been a long time, Lady Aria."

"... yes, what brings you here?"

"I came to ask after the health of the Count."

As Vika replied, and Aria's face was mistrustful, knowing that Vika was not a pure-minded man, and that he was not in a position to worry about the Count. Vika, who spoke vaguely with a laugh and pretended to be the owner of the house, talked to her to take a seat.

"The food will cool, When it cools, it will taste bad."

'... OK, I've never seen this gentleman before.'

This time Aria's eyes turned to the Marquis. The familiar clear green eyes... If the strangers saw her, they might think her eyes resembled the Countess, but not to the Marquis, and those clear, beautiful eyes were certainly close to the eyes of Chloe. It was hard to notice because the colors were different, but it certainly was. So were the pupils, and the overall appearance was the same as Chloe's.

Someone, who knew their faces of Chloe and her, would never have thought of other people, and if she cut her hair short, she would be Chloe. So when the Marquis was captivated and could not answer as she asked, Vika replied on her behalf,
