Chapter 163. The Scandal Of The Century, Part XIII

Editor Group: Liber Reverie

As if he was frustrated, the Count put the fork down loud on the table and got angry. “That’s not a matter for you to get involved in! That’s what Aria’s will is already, and I’ve also given my approval as the head of the count family!”

Mielle’s fine hand stopped him as he tried to raise his voice in rebuttal.

“Brother, there is nothing we can do as our father decided that. He is the head of the count family, right?” But her face was so grim that she also showed great opposition to it.

‘But what is your reason for stopping Cain?’ Slowly chewing the salad, Aria observed Mielle.

And Cain called her name with a groan, “… Mielle.”

“Have dinner before it cools down, brother.”

Cain, who followed his sister’s words rather than his father’s, glanced Aria and quietly kept eating. But Aria had a lot on her mind because of the strange things that had happened during the day, and even Cain and Mielle empowered her concerns and questions, so Aria left the dining room without finishing her meal properly.

Aria, who went back to her room thinking it would be better to have a cup of tea to cool her mind and go to bed, was appalled at the sight of a stranger in her room.

“Who…?!”

“Shh.”

As Aria was surprised and was about to scream, an uninvited strange visitor hurried up and gently wrapped around her waist. With the other hand, he lightly closed her mouth to buy time for a while so that she could not get stuffy.

“Lady Aria, it’s me.”

The voice sounded urgent. Still, it was a familiar voice. So Aria opened her tightly closed eyes and checked the intruder’s face.

Then she saw the face of Asher with a soft glow. Who could believe that it was Asher who was in her room, as he had been the main topic of the conversation of the people of the count family after she had just come to her room after dinner? Aria, who saw him in front of her, blinked and expressed embarrassment.

“Do you recognize me?”

Aria quickly blinked at Asher’s question and expressed her sympathy. It was because her mouth was still blocked. When he read Aria’s recognition, Asher took off his hand and breathed a sigh as if he were relieved.

“… How…?”

‘Why did you come here?’ As Aria, still perplexed, asked. Asher looked very disappointed and said,

“Didn’t I tell you that I’d be here today?”

‘Did you say that?’ She forgot because she hadn’t been so busy lately.

It seemed that Asher had said he’d come again but was it today? The timing was truly exquisite. It made her shudder because it would have been possible for him to have appeared while he was with her maids.

“I’m sorry. I’ve had so much to think about lately that I’ve forgotten…”

So she apologized briefly, because she thought that he could not appear suddenly without a promise, and she thought it would be her fault this time. Then Asher, who turned over her golden hair on Aria’s forehead, smiled affectionately and replied, “It’s okay.”

She must have been sweating because she had been nervous. Though his hands were very friendly and warm, her heart began to beat a little faster.

“What made you feel so hard like this?”

“Ah… just this and that…”

The biggest problem of all was Frey’s work today. Come to think of it, he had talked to her about Frey’s interest in advance.

Looking at her, who was still tense and anxious because of her troubles and Asher’s touch, he carefully sat her down on the sofa, poured some water, and asked again, “Can’t you tell me about it?”

“No, it’s not like that… it just happened a little absurd.”

Instead, Asher was the only one to confide in, so Aria began to carefully talk about what had been embarrassing today. The letter had arrived from Frey and she had visited her mansion, and after a series of questions, she had finally handed her a man’s suit and asked her if she could try it on.

When she explained that far, he was also perplexed by his expression. Even if he said that the story was made up, there was nothing to look strange, and the situation was not common.

He cocked his head and said, “That’s strange. She’s not the kind of person who did such a thing to the person who first visited.”

Aria responded by adding a little strength to her voice, “But it’s all true. My maid, Annie, also saw that.”

“Oh, I don’t doubt it. I was just thinking about why she did it. I didn’t see her often, but I didn’t think she was the kind of person.”

Asher hastened to make an excuse. Surely it was unbelievable to think of her as a judge. Therefore, he furrowed his forehead for a while in distress and said as if he had come up with something.

“So I heard that she has a brother who was kicked out. I think she might remember her brother when she saw you.”

“Her brother?”

“I don’t remember the details because it happened to me when I was a kid… there’s a royal family who’s been kicked out for an unpleasant incident, and I know it’s her brother.”

“… My god. Then the clothes I wore?”

“Maybe it’s her brother’s clothes.”

“By the way, not her sister, but her brother? Why did she think of her brother as a woman?” Aware of Aria’s question, Asher added an explanation,

“I happened to see his portrait when I was very young. He looked quite noticeable. When I first saw you, I had a sense of deja vu that I saw somewhere, but I think he’s a little bit like you.”

“He looks like me…?”

Then, she could understand why she had done that, but… it did not make any sense to… ‘Isn’t it strange to ask me to try on the clothes of her brother, who was kicked out of the Imperial Castle, with only a slight resemblance to his face?’

“While the hair and eye colors are different, the features and the atmosphere seem to be the same. I only saw him in a portrait, so I don’t know his real appearance.”

‘If the atmosphere and features resemble each other, most of them are similar.’ She was embarrassed that she looked like a man, not a woman, and hurriedly took a mirror and examined her face. She was worried that her face might have changed without her knowledge. Fortunately, however, the beautiful face remained.

‘As a woman, my life is so complicated. There is a man with such a beautiful face… I can see why he was kicked out of the Imperial Castle…’

Aria, who was nervous, looked into her face for a long time and asked Asher, who was watching the action for some time.

“If you are nervous, shall I find out what happened? Maybe I can get a portrait.”

“I’d appreciate it, but… I’m afraid you’re busy.”

“It’s okay because I’m not the one who will get it.”

Aria, who had been frowned upon all the time, burst into a small laugh. As he said, it was the men under him who would become busy. It would be Lane.

Rather, Asher had a look of joy at being able to help Aria. Even so, he was cute when he said he would drive his subordinates hard, but not himself.

“I hope they don’t hate me.”

“Where is anyone who would hate you?”

‘Well, there are too many.’ Right now, even in the mansion, there was a girl in the mansion who hated her and wanted to kill her. She had hated her so much, even in the past when she had done nothing, but now she wondered how much she would hate her. As Aria’s mouth went down again because she thought of Mielle, his expression also became serious.

“You must have a person in your mind.”

“… Nobody is loved by everyone.”

“No matter how hard it is, it’s rare for a person to come up in an instant and make a smile disappear.”

‘Yes. Unless they are in a grudging relationship, it’s not.’ There was a momentary silence in the room because both of them had such a person. She wished there were refreshments, but unfortunately, the only thing on the table was cold water, which made her feel awkward. It was then that she was thinking about bringing tea out.

“Miss! I’ve brought tea!”

Annie’s voice was heard outside the door. Because it was time for Aria to return from her meal. Aria, who was thinking about what to do with Asher’s presence, quickly talked to Annie to come in.
