"I can't help it. I'll tell you later."

"Sister, you must be very free."

Mielle, with the atmosphere on her back, said, looking suspiciously at her. The sharpness of her speech drew a moment's attention to Mielle. The Countess had a face that she wanted to scold her.

'You have got everything with just your natural status.' In the past, she might have thrown a fork at her thinking so, but not anymore. Now she had the great things in her hand that stupid Mielle would never have in her life.

"What the hell are you thinking? How do you expect to attend such a place? Can't you see everyone's upset?" asked the Countess, who followed her into the room from the meal. She raised her voice as if she could not understand Aria's behavior. She must have thought Arya set a fire in this mess now.

Aria, who closed her door and looked sideways, turned to the Countess with a serious look.

"Mother, don't worry."

"... Aria?"

"I'm sure it's not a bad choice."

No, the Count's attitude would change. Mielle would no longer be able to belittle herself.

'Maybe she'll try to use me as her own.'

By chance, she only cooperated with the Crown Prince, as an investor, in creating the academy, while Aria's forces themselves remained neutral. Although the political approach had been blocked up by Baron Burboom, the situation would be different after revealing her identity.

'Of course, I'll take Mr. Asher's side.'

"You're so beautiful today, Miss. It's been a long time since you've decorated yourself like this, so you look like an angel."

Aria, who gave a glance to Jessie, who said the obvious thing, looked at her through a mirror. Prearranged dresses and ornaments for today showed off all the splendor, blending with the more brilliant Aria's appearance, naturally melted. Mielle with elegant beauty and Isis with clear and beautiful appearance was difficult to digest.

She had always been, but she was confident that she would not lose out to anyone as much as she looked. As Mielle with her status, she might have survived for more than twenty years in the past thanks to her born appearance.

'If it weren't for this weapon, I would have been murdered by Mielle before I turned twenty.'

No one would have loved a prostitute's daughter, who had a nasty personality and nothing to catch their eye. Fortunately, however, she was born with an unparalleled appearance and now a self-made woman, so she had nothing to obstruct her.

Aria, smiling at herself satisfactorily in a mirror, took Jessie and Annie, who were as beautifully decorated as she was, to the completion ceremony of the academy she invested in.

"... I still don't understand why you're going here."

The Countess, who accompanied her alone, said. Her face was still covered with dark clouds. But that dark face must soon contain surprise and joy, so Aria seized her mother's hand. Even though the Count was sure to be offended, she thanked her mother for attending this uncomfortable occasion for her daughter.

"Just wait a little while and you'll know."

The academy was located near the Imperial Castle, so they arrived quickly without much time to talk about it. Perhaps they wanted to show off the work of the Crown Prince, but at a glance, she could see a splendid building.
