Chapter 15

It’s a note.

I slowly turned my eyes to glance at Sadie, but she didn’t seem to notice anything inside because she had folded the shawl several times.

“Alright, you can leave now.”

“Yes, my lady.”

Sadie left the room with a more cautious attitude than usual. The sound of small steps buried away in the carpet.

One, two, three, four, five.

It wasn’t until I counted up to five in my mind that I unfolded the shawl. As expected, a beautiful note was folded neatly.

When I read it, it was in Alice’s handwriting.

‘Don’t go to the tea party.’

She was telling me what to do.

Longer time spent with someone means you’ll know a lot about your opponent, whether you want it or not.

As a mere fiancée, I couldn’t get to know Aaron’s innermost thoughts, but his superficial parts were too well known.

He is a very regular man.

Meal time, education time, training time, even wake up and bedtime are set in minutes.

Aaron’s time in ordinary circumstances was always chivalrous, although it changed little by little when a separate exception was made.

So, as far as I know, Aaron is now on his way back to the main building of his mansion after training.

I know it, but I can’t help getting nervous.

I’m waiting for Aaron in the first drawing room of Marquis Claymore’s mansion. My heart has not calmed down since I read Alice’s note.

For some time, a second flowed like a year, and the door to the drawing room finally opened.

I stood up screaming his name.

“Aaron!”

“Roa? What are you doing here—”

“You haven’t responded yet, have you? You didn’t say you were going, did you? Why aren’t you answering me?”

“If it’s a reply—you mean, the tea party? I haven’t done it yet.”

I breathed a sigh of relief only then.

The people of Claymore were so strict with principles that they didn’t answer my question about whether Edgar was still waiting for a reply. It was only natural, but the silence sounded like a denial, and my heart was no longer can take it.

Finally, I was able to calm down.

I ignored the bewildered servants and greeted him with belated courtesy.

Aaron greeted back with a grim face, then he sent out the servants.

It’s almost time for dinner, so I denied tea and the conversation began immediately.

“If I had not received a reply from you by the end of the day, I would have answered tomorrow … didn’t I write it to you? Did something happen?”

“I’m just worried for no reason.”

Alice’s warning against Nocton was the same in the ballroom, but the weight of the words was different from then and now.

I shouldn’t go to the tea party, which makes me anxious.

It’s even worse because Alice has never said so strongly.

I was swayed by her note for a reason, and as time passed, my doubts about Nocton seemed to grow endlessly.

Even if I don’t find a problem with Nocton in the Memoria’s Seal, I may not even believe him now.
