"I don't know if it's a difficult request, but... I want you to take good care of Mielle."

'Do you want me to take good care of her?' Aria requested him to take good care of Mielle, who had been trying to hurt her and sell off the empire, and the audience was embarrassed as if they had heard ridiculous words. Lohan swallowed a chuckle and asked, "Are you in a state of delirium?"

It was a bitter tone, but the majority seemed to agree with him and so did Mielle, who had been defended. Aria would have finally had the chance to cut off her head, but she couldn't understand why she wanted her own good.

In the meantime, Asher noticed that Aria had not simply asked for Mielle to be taken care of, and he tried to find out her real intention and asked, "... Why?"

"Mielle is still a child and cannot make a proper judgment, and as you all know, she is good in nature, but she is being poorly guided at this young age. She is too young to be punished. She was just swept away, and if there was a fault..." Aria, who had said that Mielle's fault was on someone else, paused, stroking her eyes for a moment to wipe away her tears.

As if waiting, Asher asked what she really wanted to say.

"Then who's fault is it?"

"That would be me, who didn't take care of Mielle well. I was her sister, but I couldn't stop her from taking the wrong path... I hope you will take good care of Mielle and give me some of her punishment."

"...!"

'What does she mean? How could the Crown Prince punish her?' As soon as she was done, everyone's eyes were gathered into one place. They were all looking at Asher.

As they had guessed, Asher frowned and expressed his disapproval, and even if she wanted something else, he also had a grudge against her for saying it.

"And Mielle would not have known the very important things as she was young. If she had sold the information, it would not have been much help. Right, Mr. Lohan?"

This time the arrow went back to Lohan, and as she said, there was nothing important but the secret of Asher, so it was true.

But even so, it was hard to understand if she was really asking for Mielle's well-being in the situation that all the nobles who were involved in this treason would be hanged. Also, Aria and Mielle were not on good terms. In fact, they were trying to kill each other.

Lohan, raising one corner of his mouth, asked, "Are you serious?"

"Of course, and, as you all know, Mielle is mentally and seriously disturbed by various misfortunes at a young age. Some of it is my fault... and I will share her sin. My words are right, Mielle? You did what you were told, and you just sold light information to live without being aware of the situation?"

Mielle stared at Aria, her eyes blinking, not knowing how she would react to her, who was really advocating herself, and she was embarrassed to see it. Her eyes seemed to reflect her embarrassment even at a glance. She was suspicious of whether she was setting a trap that would completely destroy her.

And it was Asher who finally stepped back from her efforts, and how could he not listen to her pleading and try to persuade him? He wondered what it meant, but he was willing to listen to it as she asked,

"... I understand what you're saying. Don't worry, everything will be revealed in detail through Lohan's papers and investigations. If the sins of Lady Mielle are just trivial, then her punishment will be light."
