It was strange that the Crown Prince was beside him, but as she could only think of it, she revealed her hostility, and then Asher, who was still, intervened in the conversation.

"Madame, please be a little angry. This is the Marquis of Piast of the Kingdom of Croa. Sorry for the late introduction."

"... Who?"

When Asher introduced him again as the Marquis of Piast, the Countess did not move. It was as if she had stopped breathing.

"The man you met, Chloe, is my eldest son, and I think you have guessed to some extent, but I was wondering if the blood had been linked to Lady Aria. I don't think she looks like him unless it does."

"So... Aria succeeds the blood of the Marquis family?"

"I think so."

"..."

The Countess's eyes wandered in disbelief, and she seemed to be embarrassed at the thought of how to take it for it was not bad, but it was something she had never thought of.

There had been several lower-class noblemen who had visited her, and she had thought that it might be possible, but she had never thought that he was a man of the Marquis family.

"My son was in trouble, and he couldn't come to see you, but... he still misses you. He'll be delighted to hear that he has a daughter."

"... Wait, wait, give me a moment to think. It's so sudden, and I don't know what to say. Besides, it's not certain, but you just came because she looked like..." The Countess put down her teacup because of what the Marquis said.

His beautiful appearance was uncommon, but it was difficult to confirm that because of her previous job.

"Don't worry about that, ma'am, I have a way to check it out."

At his words, the Countess and the Marquis looked at Asher at the same time.

'How could he confirm if the name was not written on the blood?' Then the Marquis opened his eyes wide as if he had realized something.

"... The pond of the Imperial Castle."

"Yes, if Lady Aria was the granddaughter of Violet, who drank the holy water, she could touch the pond of the Imperial Castle."

She didn't know what they were talking about, but the Countess nodded at the words that there was a way to check.

"... Then, if you're sure, tell me again. As for me, I'll have to sort things out by then."

The Marquis asked in an urgent voice as she finished the conversation. "If you don't mind, may we send you a letter?"

"... Will you send it to me or Aria?"

"I will send it to you... No, maybe Chloe..."

Chloe might want to get in touch with her, who he had been finding for a long time. He might even visit the empire by forging his identity.

The Countess rose, answering with a chilling voice. "Well, it would be a misunderstanding if another man writes a letter to a woman who has already been married, and if you're done, I'll excuse you first."

Yet the Marquis had a little hope for her unsure refusal; and the Marquis, who had the means to contact and some good news, left the empire without hesitation.

On the other hand, when he returned to the office, Asher was thinking, touching the ring in his hand.
