IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE READ THE NOVEL... but from what I remember, the Crown Prince had been interested in the Roscente Household before he officially met Aria. So, he sent in a confidant to send her presents. 

And I'm pretty sure, it's this guy... although not confident at the same time. What was his name again? Rain Pino? What an NPC Side character name, I have to say...

Sorry Rain...

Aria looked as much puzzled as I was. Rain Pino came in with a bunch of tulips as he approached Aria first and said, "Hello Lady Aria, I came here for Lady Mielle. Is she inside the manor right now?"

Aria looked up towards me, who was standing at the entrance of the Roscente household doorsteps. "Yes she is... however, our pa–" before she could finish, Rain Pino  immediately rushed up towards me as he said, "Hello there! Lady Mielle-!" 

Woah!

Did he just cut off Aria?! 

"Oh hello, you're here again..." I say almost disdainly, but immediately put on a nice smile as I say, "I hope the journey isn't that tiring..." 

Just why he is pestering me though? I am just the angatonist Mielle Roscente, not the Aria Roscente that the Crown Prince has a crush on... I...!

I immediately remembered that Rain Pino and the Crown Prince got confused between both Aria and Mielle, that he was gifting the presents to the wrong person the whole time...! 

Oh!

So the Crown Prince and Aria haven't officially met yet. Okay, phew~

Shit! That means that I still need to get on the Crown Prince's good side... but can I?!

I remembered how he put a sword around my neck a couple of months ago because he caught me eavesdropping... I..! 

And then I... teleported! 

Right! I got the hang of another set of new powers known as teleportation! An ability that the Crown Prince, the male lead had in the original manhwa. 

Shit...but how did I do it then? 

"Lady Mielle, I brought in some new presents from our mas–" Pino continued, "I can–" before he could continue this time however, Aria was the one to cut him off as she said with a sharp expression: 

"No, it'd be unwise to let you have tea and chat with a young, underage girl, without the permission of our parents," Aria said with a cold-blooded attitude. Woah! She walked towards us both and got in the way between Pino and I. 

Woah...

Is Aria protecting me from him?! 

W-what is this development?! I thought Aria hated me, but what is this?! 

Pino laughed as he said, "Haha, we know each other well now, do I seem like a bad person?" 

Aria continued with a dark smile as she said, "Oh my, I feel like I mentioned this before but Mielle already has a fiancé. Wouldn't it be too troublesome for you, if rumours spread that she's with another man..?"
