"That can't be. Of course, we don't get along well."

"I've been saying that before, but the princess has a lot of useless words."

However, Isis's eyes wandered as soon as the two answered as if they were displeased. It was because she could not grasp the relationship between the two. She wouldn't even think of rebutting Asher, who openly scolded.

But unlike Isis, Aria, who remembered having talked with Asher and Lohan in Croa, had realized this intense reaction came from friendliness. Even that was an act of mocking and deceiving Isis.

"If you were not friendly… Why did you join? "

Tomorrow, they would kill each other. Lohan replied to the question of Isis, who was full of doubt as if she was foolish.

"Because I want to interfere with them."

Asher was frowned upon by the answer as if he was taken aback, and Lohan continued to answer.

"Besides… There's very little chance to meet in the future, and we have to see him like this. Am I right?"

At Lohan's subtle question, Isis rolled her eyes for a moment and fell into thought. Then she nodded and affirmed as if she had a great understanding. She seemed to have accepted what he meant that tomorrow's sudden attack would be successful, and she would no longer see him.

"I'd better explain it as the last supper."

"That's right…!"

It was so foolish for her to reply, not knowing that she was the main protagonist of the dinner and to agree with Lohan. Asher also looked at Isis with a mysterious expression. It was also a question of why he had been swung by that simple woman.

If she thought about it a little more, she would realize that it was strange, but Isis, who had been pushed in the corner, seemed to be determined to believe in a hypothesis that she would be less harmed and successful. Perhaps there was no place for her to go back anyway.

'Did he suggest sharing a table to show this?' Although it was funny to see Isis agree with Lohan without knowing what was going on, it wasn't a sight to see as she broke up her time.

As she checked Lohan with a suspicious look as it was unbelievable to spend the precious time of the king of a country on such trivial and childish matters, he spoke his real heart as if he had played with what he had done so far.

"Well, there is such a thing, but I'm actually interested in Lady Roscent, so I proposed a seat to share a table."

"… Me?"

"Yes."

Very shamelessly, Lohan replied although Asher was right next to him.

"… What is that bullshit? "

Asher roared and threatened Lohan. It was a threat telling Lohan to not say such a joke.

"We don't know what's going to happen to our future, so if you don't like your current partner, you can always think of me as the next best option."

"Lohan!"

However, even after the intense reaction of Asher, Lohan was not reluctant at all and continued to talk. Eventually, Asher, who could not bear it anymore, rose up in anger. If he could, he would have grabbed his collar and threw him into the ground.

As a result, Aria reached out and grabbed Asher's hand to stop the possible unfortunate incident that could happen between Asher and Lohan.

"Thank you for the word, but I want you to refrain from such a joke which could lead to misunderstanding."

Then she added that Lohan should finish at this point so that Asher would no longer be angry. Asher was always calm and relaxed, but it was pretty easy for him to get involved with her matter.

"Joke? I'm not kidding."

Yet Lohan still had a meaningful smile. Aria, who had been worried for a while, honestly confessed her thoughts because it seemed like a smile to test her.

No matter how much she tried to coax him, he would pick apart everything she said. Besides, as long as Asher was beside her, Lohan would not be a threat to her, and she said, "Is that so? Even so, Mr. Lohan is not my taste, so please refrain from saying that."

"Really? What is your taste?"

"A tall man with black hair and blue eyes."

"…"

At the answer, Asher, who struggled to control his temper, hardened, because it was him who she referred to. He didn't know how she would answer, so he turned and looked at Aria, wondering if what he heard now was real. What he had been angry and growled so far was gone.

Isis covered her mouth with her palm. Aria confessed her heart so frankly that Isis could imagine Lohan's anger later on. No, it was very close to her face, expecting that Lohan would be very angry with the humble woman. Unfortunately, Lohan did not give the answer Isis desired.

"… If you come up with such a funny answer, it really creates an interest I didn't have. "

Lohan looked over Aria with a face that seemed more interesting than he had just been mischievous as if he liked her daring answer.

"If you say so, I have a strong taste, and I'm not interested in other men, so please turn to other women. And I'm sorry, but you have a lady with you, and I want you to realize that it's an excuse to keep talking to me."

When she firmly said again, Lohan laughed out loud as he couldn't stand the laughter that popped out. Isis sat next to him and swallowed her anger, squeezing her fists because of Lohan, who disregarded herself and expressed great interest to the other woman.

'In addition, who would pity someone with the status of a humble origin? You will lose your lover tomorrow and return to a vulgar status!' Isis wanted to get angry, but she couldn't express it because of Asher, who was going to pounce on even a trivial thing, but she gritted her teeth. She tried to endure it, telling herself that it was just a bluff that would soon disappear.

"… Why don't you eat elsewhere?" In the meantime, Asher, who had been staring at her, asked.

He looked very nervous. Even now, he wanted to get away from the sight of the people to be alone with Aria. Where was the man who could be calm with his lover beside him, who said he was her taste by pinpointing himself?

"I think it would be better." And that thought was so with Aria, so she accepted it with pleasure because the question was answered, and she no longer needed to remain there.

As soon as she answered, he gave strength to his hand which held her hand and helped her stand. The reason why she could not complain about his hasty movements was because it was Aria herself who made him this way.

"Then excuse us and have a good time."

As she said goodbye on behalf of Asher, who was about to leave without speaking, Lohan spoke to Aria with his still smiling face.

"It's true that I'm really interested in you, and I want you to come to Croa. I want you to remember that there are not a few people who want to."

Aria, who cocked her head for a moment but didn't understand the meaning, followed Asher, who took her hand and pulled her out of the restaurant. As Asher hurriedly climbed into the carriage with Aria, the driver asked him where he was going.

"Where shall I take you?"

"Anywhere."

The answer to the driver was not a precise destination, and the driver, who understood Asher's intentions, began to drive slowly with the answer that he would soon know.

"Where are we going?"

Aria asked him where they were going, but Asher did not answer her question. He instead said something else.

"... Do you really like black hair, blue eyes, and a tall stature? So did you choose me?"

"Yes..."

'Is that what you've been thinking about all along?' He must have known that she would have chosen a lover because of her taste, and his intention to ask and confirm was indeed impure.

"Did you know that now?"

She asked back as she teased him a little bit, and Asher, who narrowed his eyes in an instant, asked as he closed the distance between them.

"Is that true? If a tall man appears with the same hair and eyes as I do, will you leave me?"

"Yes, if I like him, I would leave you."

When she answered, as if she could, Asher furrowed his forehead. He knew that she would not but was unable to stop feeling bad.

Aria, who thought she should make fun of him moderately, said with a gentle smile.
