'Why did I do this? Why did I say that I am dating Antares?'

'Ready to marry him if need be.'

Realizing all that she said, Luna took her head, and goose bumps ran through her body.

'I just snapped. If there was an opportunity to turn the clock back to sleep, I would say completely different words.'

Luna said these words in full view, and it was too late to change anything. Antares, in turn, without hesitation, grabbed Luna and Baron and took them to the carriage.

With Luna in one hand and the baron's in the other, Antares looked happy, as if he had the whole world in his hands.

On the way back home, Luna regretted her words a hundred times. Unlike the baron, who was clearly in high spirits.

"When did it happen? Why didn't I know about it?"

The Baron asked in surprise.

"In fact, I have been courting Luna for a long time, but for me today's words of Luna came as a big surprise."

"Ha-ha, I thought so! Seeing you for the first time, I immediately thought that it would be nice if a person like you was next to Luna!"

"You flatter me, Baron."

The Baron looked happy, which further complicated the situation. It was hard to take back what I said when so many people heard it. But Luna practically did not care about the people of the duke, who were in a slight shock.

The whole problem was with the baron.

Luna meets a man. This was the first time she had met anyone other than Fersen, so the Baron was extremely happy.

If you say to him now: "Dad, I didn't want to say this." it would be a shock for him.

"Listen, Antares, before you continue dating, I want to tell you something. Luna is my dearest, priceless treasure. So I hope you are serious."

"... Father. Wait, wait. Please."

Luna, staring in embarrassment at the carriage window, pressed her lips together tightly.

"Baron, don't worry. How can I not be serious about such a beautiful, intelligent girl like Luna."

The Baron decided to conduct his own check, but Antares decided to calm him down. Antares's face showed that he was very pleased with this whole situation.

"Haha. Yes, this is what you say now, but everything can change ..."

"Don't worry, you have nothing to worry about Baron, it will never happen. I will be with dear Luna until she hits me on the cheek, saying that she hates me. "

In response to Antares' words, Luna wanted to hit him in the contented face at once.

"Okay, I hope you're not lying to me. But still, be always kind to her so that she doesn't have to say these words, okay? "

"I am telling the truth. I will definitely listen to your words." Antares said confidently.

Luna didn't like what was happening. But she could no longer do anything, she herself sowed these seeds, and now she herself was reaping them.

This trip seemed to her unbearably long, especially considering that all this time Antares and her father had a nice conversation.

Luna even pinched herself a couple of times to check if it was a dream. But in the end, she accepted the fact that she could no longer give up her words, and focused on the landscape outside the window.

'God, give me the strength to endure all this ...'

Luna asked to herself, looking at the joyful Baron and Antares.

***

After some time, when they returned to the mansion, Luna was in for an even greater catastrophe, which, in principle, could be expected.

"Emma, ​​Laura! Did you hear that Luna has a boyfriend ?! "

"Yes!?"

"What are you talking about Baron?"

As soon as the Baron got out of the carriage, he told the two people who met him, his good news.

"Ha ha! Of course you didn't know, did you? I recently found out myself! "

The surprised girls opened their eyes wide, and the Baron laughed openly and patted Antares on the shoulder.

Antares also laughed along with the baron, and confessed to curious girls that it was he who was meeting Luna.

"Oh, I knew it would happen!"

"Ouch! I also! I immediately realized this when I saw Mr. Vincent with our dear Luna! "

Henry, who got off the horse, also intervened between the two women.

"Yes!? This is true!?"

"Wait, father! Stop it! "

Luna decided to intervene. Until her father told the whole city about their relationship with Antares Vincent.

"Stop it? Why? I'm just sharing a happy event."

"I mean, I said it because of the circumstances."

"Circumstances?

"What do you mean, young lady?"

Baron and Emma, ​​Laura and Henry. A total of four pairs of eyes focused their gaze on the moon.

Luna realized that now they will not leave her behind.

'I just wanted to improve my life, which Fersen spoiled me all the time, but now everything has become even more complicated ...'

One way or another, Fersen was to blame for everything. It was his actions that triggered this chain of events that led Luna to this situation.

Luna, who stood pensive, tormented and coming up with a reasonable answer, was interrupted by Antares and asked a question:

"You want to say ... That you do not want to meet with me ...? "

"What?"

"Wait. What are you doing now? He knows everything. "

Luna stood in bewilderment, Antares continued again with a grim face, as if adding fuel to the fire.

"Maybe I misunderstood you. I know that you are very kind, and it will be hard for you to say that. But tell me the truth, even if it is bitter, is that not how you expressed yourself in the Duke's residence?"

When Antares had finished, Emma, ​​who was completely on Antares's side, intervened.

"Don't worry Antares, our lady is not like that, she would not lie!"

Laura also intervened:

"That's right, Emma! Our mistress is not one of those people who will play on human feelings! "

Luna was at a standstill, so just to reassure everyone present, she agreed with them.

"Of course, who could play like that with the hearts of other people! "

Antares did just that. He skillfully played with the feelings of people, and all the people of the baron, including himself, were already in his pocket.

"Well, I told you, we have a good one! "

"Of course our lady is the best!"

Emma and Laura said almost unanimously.

"I think I misunderstood you because I was so worried. I beg your pardon, Luna. "Antares said with a smile.

"I never doubted our Luna from the very beginning."

The Baron, with a rather worried face, suddenly changed his attitude, confidently said that he did not doubt his daughter.

"Then we have a party today. This is the day my daughter got her first boyfriend. "

"Oh, I'll help you with the preparations!" Said Emma.

"Then I'll put the kitchen in order. And by the way, could you please allocate some money, Baron, I'm going to buy all the necessary ingredients and prepare a delicious meal. "

"Okay, but buy only the very good products, the very best!"

"Necessarily. Today I will give it one hundred percent!"

Emma rolled up her sleeves and acted like she was getting ready for a fight. Henry returned to the horses and prepared to take them to the stable, while Laura took the baron's coat and disappeared into the mansion.

"Wait! Wait! No no! Why complicate things so much and throw a party. No! No! No!"

Luna repeated to herself, no longer able to change anything. From the outside it was like a quiet cooing.

The Baron, who looked strangely at Luna, turned his gaze to Antares, hoping after a while to calm down and utter the right words.

"As for you, young man, how about drinking wine with me until the food is ready?"

"I myself wanted to offer you this, you got ahead of me."

Antares replied with a bright smile.

'I'm going to lose my mind now. Everything was going so well ...'

Luna stared at Antares, thinking about it.

Antares, who had finished his courtesy with the baron, spoke quietly to Luna before following her father.

"I know the most competent lawyers on the continent. They can help you if something happens. When I broke Fersen's leg, they easily dealt with this problem."

"You'd better tell me how to avoid this whole situation."

Luna was no longer bothered by this, so she answered him casually.

"Do what you want..."

It was already impossible to change something, so Luna, exhaling loudly, let go of this situation.

Vaguely answering Antares, she walked slowly towards the mansion.
