Seira, without changing her clothes, hurried to the Duke's residence as soon as the news came that Fersen had returned.

He left very suddenly, leaving behind only a letter. Seira was very worried and did not go out for ten days, sitting in the mansion and waiting for the news.

"I hope he's okay."

Seira arrived at the residence and could not hide her excitement from the unexpected news.

"Where is he?"

"Um ... "

The butler stuttered and was unable to answer her question. It seemed not because he was hiding it, but because he himself had no idea where he was.

"No, I hope not. Immediately after his arrival from Vincent's estate, he could not go home to the baron. "

'Why the hell?'

'Is she really interfering with the relationship between me and Fersen? Maybe I did something wrong?'

I didn't realize it at first. They've been close friends since childhood, so I just said, "Okay. She's a friend of the person I love, so I need to make friends with her. "

What a fool I am.

However, it seems that only I thought so, because everyone around me was sorry.

Why didn't he tell me anything? I wondered, I asked myself if I could hate this nasty woman trying to tear us apart.

From that moment on, I began to notice things that I had not seen before.

For example, Fersen loaded me with useless worries, and he himself spent a lot of time with Luna. Although he himself had many concerns, there were many people who wanted to meet with him.

That's why I hated someone for the first time in my life.

However, I could not show this jealousy in front of Fersen. He probably would have thought I was strange.

Fersen is a fair and honest man, so he would disdain my jealousy.

Seira sat for three hours at the Duke's residence, thinking about all this and waiting for Fersen.

Supper time was already approaching, and finally, Fersen returned to the Duke's residence.

Seira excitedly ran to the carriage and welcomed him back home.

"Fersen! I waited. Didn't you get hurt? "

"... Seira? What are you doing here?"

However, Fersen did not contact Seira, so he stood in front of her and was surprised by her appearance.

Seira stood in shock and looked at him, she said nothing, but the butler who was watching them hurried to explain everything.

"I contacted Lady Seira as soon as you returned."

"... Ah!"

It was then that he remembered how fleetingly answered the butler's question whether he should report to Seira. He did not ask her to come, but since she had already arrived, he could not send her back either.

"I'm sorry dear. Suddenly something urgent arose, and I had to go to the baron for work. "

'In the end, he was still at the baron's. I didn't want to believe it, I thought it was just rumors going around our house. '

Seira struggled to shake off the sensation that plunged her further into sadness.

"...Understand. Did you do a good job? "

"No. It only got worse. It's a big deal, very much. "

I did not ask for details, but Fersen himself began to talk so angrily as if he was in trouble.

"Antares, that son of a bitch seems to have brainwashed Luna. While they were engaged in gold mines and everything else ... "

His speech became rougher and his tone changed ...

"She doesn't know how mean he is, but she's already spent the night with him ... I think she spent ...! I do not know what to do!"

Fersen resented that some bad guy had taken away Luna's innocence.

All of Fersen's words on the one hand were fair and correct, but this time Seira had no choice but to think it was very strange.

"Why are you mad at this ...?"

I knew that Fersen liked Luna as a childhood friend, but it was a little strange to be offended that she had a boyfriend.

'Come to think of it, he hated all men except himself, whom I mentioned as beauties of Lune Pales.'

Alarmed, Seira, overwhelmed by her thoughts, came to the conclusion she feared most. Hiding her trembling hands behind her back, she asked Fersen:

"You care about Luna, don't you? Why don't you talk to Mr. Vincent. You could convince him to take your place and take care of Luna. Marquis Vincent is very rich, so he will be a great match for her. "

"No! Definitely not."

It was a sensible idea, but Fersen flatly refused. Seira's anxiety increased.

"Then ... Then I can introduce her to another young man? A wonderful guy to forget Mr. Vincent. "

"No. There is no person in the empire who suits Luna. You just need to rid her of Antares and that's it. Now Luna is better to be alone. "

"... "

Hearing these words, Seira could not say anything.

This was no ordinary reaction. As much as she thought he was treating her like a sister, it was weird.

Thinking about this, Seira stood silently, but Fersen continued to be angry and then climbed the stairs leading to his room. Seira, who did not follow him, did not care. All her thoughts were about Luna.

Seira, depressed, stared at the trail of Fersen ascending, bit her lip and then stepped in the opposite direction from him.

She had "burning eyes" and a cold nose. She was sad and sad because she understood many things that she should not have known. For some reason she didn't want to be with Fersen today.

***

The next day, Luna, who was about to leave for Seira's mansion early in the morning, was caught in an unexpected situation caused by their poverty.

"God. Father returned yesterday in Fersen's carriage, and left the horse at the Duke's residence. What to do?"

In the end, it's all because of Fersen. I was very annoyed with all this.

While Emma was hurrying out of the mansion, Henry came out in his coat.

"I'll drive the carriage."

On foot? Henry has a good physique, so he could have gone for a carriage. But the Baron's work was far from the center of the capital, it would have taken a couple of hours. So I didn't want to bother Henry.

'Why didn't I buy a carriage right away?'

Why did I buy these dresses? And what's so important about throwing checks in Seira's face?

To begin with, I had to think of the Baron, who rode in an old carriage not suitable for aristocrats.

It's too late to regret it.

So I better go on foot and try to collect my thoughts.

"Good morning."

Antares appeared with a smile that refreshed this unpleasant morning.

"He must have just woken up, but how can he be so handsome?" Emma's voice sounded a little admiration.

lWhat's the matter?"

"Oh, this ... the lady doesn't have a carriage for the ride."

"Carriages?

"Yes..."

Laura took a step forward and began to explain the situation. Emma, ​​who was standing nearby, nodded in confirmation.

Antares, after listening to her, calmly replied, as if not seeing the problem.

"You can take my carriage."

Emma grabbed both of his hands and was delighted to thank him for such an act.

Luna wanted to pretend she wasn't particularly impressed, but then she also honestly expressed her gratitude.

"Thanks for that ... can I really use it?"

"Sure. Rather, I am glad to take this opportunity, I want to be of service to Lady Pales. "

Last night Antares talked about using it.

"I'll drive the carriage myself. I'll take you quickly wherever you want. In vain you have woken up the coachman. "

"What...? Will you drive the carriage yourself? "

I tried to dissuade him. But he was determined.

"God. Why do you need these extra troubles? "

But he didn't seem to hear me anymore.

"Lady! You are very lucky! "Said Emma.

"Okay ... Thanks a lot. You can leave me half way. The Duke's house is very far away, I just need to get to a place where I can hire a carriage. "

"Good."

Satisfied, Antares disappeared into the guest room, saying that he would change into his clothes to go outside.

It seemed that the mansion workers were only glad that Antares would accompany me.
