"Yes, he doesn't know anything about her because the secret of his birth was revealed and deported as soon as he met a woman named Apple."

"... Apple?"

"It was the name of the Countess Roscent, and it's a common alias to a prostitute."

It was a strange sense, but in the empire where flowers symbolized the aristocratic family, it was common to use things other than flowers as an alias. Apple was a fruit that was easy to see, so half a dozen of them were using it, and that was why it was not easy to find her whereabouts.

"It was only one meeting, but he still misses her."

"Why didn't you just let people ask around? No matter how deported they were, it was possible because the Marquis had taken them."

"When Chloe was deported, he was insane. He couldn't talk for a while. He knew that it wasn't his father who he's ever believed in, but he couldn't have been alright. Even now... No, I sent people to find her later, but I couldn't find her."

"So you've come here yourself because Chloe's in bad condition."

"... yes, you are right."

But he had met Aria and Asher who noticed that his purpose had changed. Anyone could know that if they saw his expression of joy. He was purely touched by the presence of Aria and his encounter with her.

"Now it's time to go back. I hope both Chloe and Violet are happy."

"...Are you thinking about just going back?

"Just? What do you mean?"

"The Countess married the Count and would no longer be able to be with Chloe, and Lady Aria would not follow the Marquis because she had settled in the empire. You just checked that she was your descent, and I ask you if you'll just go back."

That was the most desirable result for Asher. If Aria would follow the Marquis and go to Croa, it would be harder to meet her. As the distance was too far, there was a limit to using his ability. There was a maxim, "Out of sight, out of mind."

When he was worried about it and asked, the Marquis who was a little worried, replied, "No. I just don't want to go back. Apple, no, the Countess... It is not easy to accompany me because she is married, but I think it will be different if it is Lady Aria. I have heard of her only by rumors, but it will be easier to stay in Croa than the empire where she has been treated contemptuously so far. I also want to support everything she hasn't enjoyed."

Perhaps it would be better for Aria.

Most people would think of it as the Marquis. No matter how she settled in the empire, it would be better to go to the Kingdom of Croa because it was mostly done in writing.

"Well. Will it be as easy as it sounds?"

But even if all were in favor, Asher could not agree. Rumors of Aria's relationship with Asher as a lover were widespread and the Marquis was already aware of it, so he didn't question his negative response.

"Furthermore, the heart of Lady Aria will be important. You wouldn't be able to take her even if you want to take her."

"... I'm aware of that. So I should ask for her opinion."

"Her opinion?"

When there was nothing at all, her blood had not shown up at all, but if he suddenly appeared and said that he came to take her after she was successful, who would be happy to accept it? In the past, Aria, who had only been a daughter of a prostitute, would have been very happy, but now they did not know her mind.
