But even if she did not explain it, it was rumored that it would spread beyond the empire to foreign countries in a little time, so Aria gave them a chance to imagine by quietly closing her mouth.

"It must be something wrong, and I'll wait until it's revealed..."

The servants were furious at Cain, clenching their fists at the words she would believe in and wait for him, who had just scared her as if to kill her. 'How could he do such a terrible thing to such a good Aria?'

"Mother, please appoint a lawyer to brother. Brother and Mielle are both gone, and now you are the true master of the Count family."

"... yes, the knight said he could have a lawyer, so I'll have to save him. Let's do what we can."

The Countess, who had cleared her face, went down the stairs to find a lawyer for Cain. Now she would help to find a very capable lawyer and to reveal Cain's sins in detail, and she would divorce the Count with the excuse of it. She would be free to do anything, to take all the property and to abandon her sick husband.

"Oh, my God, how could this be..."

"This isn't a dream, is it?"

The servants disappeared in a whisper along her light footsteps, and Aria entered her room, supported by Annie and Jessie.

"Miss, Miss...? What is this...?"

"The knight said my brother was planning treason."

Aria said with a casual look, as Annie asked, who was still unable to understand, and Aria cleared her face as if she'd not been frightened and wept.

"Didn't you see the soldiers who left in the morning, the ones who had been disguised normally, and you've heard rumors that other noblemen's houses were also full of questionable guests."

Then, realizing that they were soldiers for this treason, Annie covered her mouth with her hand, as if she understood their mysterious acts.

"I was wondering who they were because Mr. Cain was so generous with all the money they were spending, but they were soldiers!"

"Miss, did you know that?"

At the question of the surprised Jessie, Aria smiled meaningfully and turned the subject away.

"I'm going out, so get ready."

"... going out? Now?"

"Yes, the highlight of today is waiting. I have to attend, so get ready. Why don't you join me?"

Annie and Jessie looked at each other for an answer and then hurried out of the room to bring water, as Aria said she needed to wash her face because she had cried and it was stinging.

When Isis returned to the mansion after an unpleasant dinner, she talked to the Duke about what was going to happen.

"I'll put all the royals in jail, and for the time being I'd better take over."

"Yes. Mr. Lohan should take care of Croa, and all the other nobles have agreed with that."

"When this is done, you'll have to have a wedding ceremony right away."

"Yes, we've been talking about it, and decided to have a wedding as soon as the empire falls into Lohan's hands, and I've rewritten the paperwork, too."
