It was when he was going to say again, Wouldnt it be good?
It was you.
Lane could hear the voice of an envoy who brought death nearby. His back stiffened.
Mr. Asher? You must be busy. What brings you here?
When Aria confirmed his name, Lanes face fell down. It was only a minor prank, but the forthcoming price was clearly expected to be comparable to the extreme punishment.
It was you who played one against the other between me and the Crown Princess.
What do you mean?
Aria asked with her eyes wide open. As Aria had a face that she didnt know anything, he was angry and flashed into his eyes, he urged Lane to confess his sins.
Did you enjoy my panicking?
Its not that!
That was right. It was so much fun for Asher to be panicking. If he could, he would have stuffed it up in his bedroom and watched it whenever he was depressed.
However, if he said so, there was a chance that he would die for contempt of the royal family and he had to make an excuse in a hurry, an excuse he would not die, an excuse for trying to keep them close to each other and not alienating them.
As he rolled his head so desperately, he suddenly had a good idea. He thought he could run away even if he didnt get a compliment.
Well, I was just trying to find a way because Your Highness Asterope was jealous of all the people in contact with the Crown Princess! Didnt you feel jealous of the noble ladies who visited the Crown Princess to chat with?
So Asher had taken the extreme action, which had prevented even visitors, and it might be mean and get a swear. The sudden confession gave Asher a deep frown.
What? You!
Lane hurried on because Asher seemed to have omitted his words, Do you want to die?
Your Highness abandoned your work then and you only thought of the Crown Princess and I wanted to help you, but it didnt go well! Then Lane gave Aria a look of help. It was a pleading look as if he had had no choice because Asher had only though of Aria and acted like an incarnated being of jealousy.
Aria, who blinked her eyes several times in surprise, soon regained her original face and smiled. What were you going to do while throwing away your work, Mr. Asher?
She seemed to like it. She must have liked to hear that Asher had been jealous of the noble ladies who had visited the Imperial Castle.
Asher was ready to yell at Lane right away, but he shut up.
Taking advantage of this, Lane began to step back slowly and very quietly. It was a golden opportunity to run away.
What kind of jealousy did you do to the noble ladies? The noble ladies were not important to me, compared to you I only talked with them for an hour or two, and it was all for you. Aria said teasingly. With this, the angry look left Asher, whose ears were flushed with embarrassment.
You said you are busy, but you are out of your office now what are you going to do?
Aria looked at Ashers reddish ears and asked if he had been very cute. Due to Lane who left the unexpected bomb and fled away, Asher was still not able to answer and was avoiding her eyes.
It was a disgrace that he had been jealous even to the noble ladies and blocked the visitors from entering the Imperial Castle; moreover, it was shameful for him to be caught what he had done so that he could not express it.
If youd only told me that you missed me, that you had done it out of jealousy I would have been closer to you all day.
But Ashers eyes flashed on the words that followed right behind.
What were you talking about?
Im not happy to be away from you. If I could, I would like to change my position and become an aide who is closer to you all day.
Aria described her mind in her own words and touched the ears of Asher, which had been dyed red. She even kissed them with tiptoe, saying, Its so cute and lovely to see them at any time.
My princess
As if he couldnt bear it, he hugged Arias waist tightly. Then he kissed her hair. It would not be strange to knock her down on the table right away. There were no more of Lanes pranks left between the two.
I have a favor to ask Mr. Asher. When they hugged each other for so long, Aria suddenly opened her mouth.
Just say anything. Ill bring it to you, though I would sell the empire.
I cant expect such a great thing. Its a very small one.
No matter how blind he was to a woman, the servants who were waiting were stunned by the words of selling the empire.
Like I call you by your name, Asher I want you to call me by my name. Being called the Crown Princess is not bad, but compared to the past when you called me Lady Aria, I somehow felt the wall.
Isnt it a very cute request? As if he really couldnt control his love for Aria, he bit his lower lip. He put more strength on his hand which wrapped her waist.
He was about to drop all his schedules and move into the villa in the forest, so she asked for one more favor,
Anything. Ill do whatever you want.
You must punish the sinner who escaped.
Ah, yes. Dont worry. Ill make Lane be punished enough.
Though they solved all this misunderstanding, he was the very person who had bothered Aria and Asher for days anyway. They couldnt standstill.
Of course, I will, said Asher and he asked Aria in a quiet voice, as he kissed her on the cheek. Ill take care of it well, so why dont you go to the villa for a while before I do? If I dont visit there now, Im going to go crazy.
It was the same with Aria. Due to Lanes scheme, she had spent all her time with study. Aria, whose eyes were gently bent, nodded silently. At the same time, Asher had all the servants step back.
As soon as the servants who disappeared while blushing closed the door, Asher and Aria disappeared as if they had waited.
Extra Story III: A Wicked Woman Is A Wicked Woman Forever.
While Aria was adjusting to the new environment, Jessie and Annie, who followed her to the Imperial Castle, also had to adapt. This was because the etiquette of the Imperial Castle was different from those of the Count family of Roscent.
The work of Count Roscent had been often accompanied by a large number of aristocrats, so the servants had also been thoroughly educated, compared to other families of the Count. However, the etiquette of the Imperial Castle was incomparably difficult and complicated. That was why Jessie and Annie also had to learn it day and night with the mindset of learning new etiquette, but
Jessie, how about this dress? Annie took the bottom of her new dress and spun around and asked.
At a glance, the delicate lace and frills seemed to be a high price that only the nobles could wear it. How did you buy such an expensive dress? No, why are you bragging about such a dress now? Jessie frowned gently. Well, a little bit?
Why? What? Is it weird?
No, rather than being weird its too much. Youre not even a noble
You are just a maid. How do you expect to work in such a dress?
When Jessie answered, Annie rather frowned this time. What are you talking about? Who are we? Were the Crown Princesss maid, arent we?
Thats true, but
Whats more, were not a maid doing chores, but close aides of the Crown Princess, so shouldnt we be dressed like this?
Jessie shut up, unable to answer Annies question. She was right. They didnt have to wear a maids uniform because they were not the common maids, but the closest maids who Aria had brought to the Imperial Castle. In addition, they werent cleaning and serving food.
It wasnt because Aria was the Crown Princess, but that was what all the aristocratic women with beloved maids were doing. There were also aristocratic women who dressed up their beloved maids like themselves to show off their affection and wealth.
And it was Jessie and Annie, who were especially favored by Aria and had their own room unlike any other maids. Therefore, it was not strange even if they would wear a dress like noblewomen. In addition
