'It seemed to me that I was falling!'

Rosemary hid in the hallway leading to another place, and in her haste clutched at her heart.

'Why did you walk so calmly, and then suddenly turned around! Have I been noticed? They must have noticed. I shouldn't have risked that!'

It was too late to hide, so she was worried that she might be noticed.

Rosemary held her breath and listened even more closely. Fortunately, she did not hear the approaching footsteps, which means she went unnoticed.

Rosemary breathed a sigh of relief and began to watch Luna more closely.

"How much will this place cost?"

"The price we offer is 10,000 gold."

"10,000 gold !?"

Luna, who was examining the castle, stopped when she heard the unexpected amount.

"Is such a magnificent mansion worth 10,000 gold?"

This mansion was much better than the previous one. The price itself seemed like a godsend.

Even if it cost 15,000 gold, she would gladly buy it ...

"Of course, since Mr. Antares introduced us, I had a good talk with the owner of this mansion and she adjusted the cost from 23,000 gold."

Luna stood silently with her eyes wide open. The Viscount bit his lip nervously, expecting her answer.

What other discount can I make? The Viscount thought.

Since he was doing this on behalf of Antares, he offered from the very beginning an amount with which he had no interest at all.

However, he could not reduce the price by more than that much, or show Luna another mansion.

"Since the Marquis helped our family, I owe him."

Thinking that he was grateful to Antares, he reduced the price a little lower.

"... Nevertheless, if this does not suit you, I will try to reduce the amount by another thousand gold."

When the price fell to the point of absurdity, Luna almost fainted.

In her opinion, people couldn't sell such a nice mansion so cheap. The conversation ended smoothly, with mixed feelings on Luna's face.

'Is there something wrong with him?'

'Is he going to lower the price even more?'

He saw many people try to knock out a discount using their power or position, but this was the first time he just did such a huge discount.

"Is it because I am Antares's beloved?"

"No, what are you? This is a mansion, recently renovated. I assure you, Lady, this is a very nice mansion."

"But why is it so cheap?"

"...Yes?"

"For this mansion, I was ready to give 15,000 gold, but your price is very cheap. There must be something wrong here."

Only then did the Viscount understand why Luna was so surprised. Not because it was too expensive for her, but because it was too cheap.

On the one hand, he was very sorry that he had offered so little, but still heaved a sigh of relief.

"Oh, so you think the mansion is too cheap ..."

"Yes? It can't be like that, can it? I also have eyes. Of course, it would be nice to buy it cheap, but ... I'm worried about its low price. Now I will look for flaws in him that may not exist."

"Regret. It looks like I was in a hurry and made a big misunderstanding. I sincerely apologize."

The Viscount bowed deeply and apologized. After such a gesture, Luna was even more embarrassed.

'Is he apologizing? Is he really such a polite person?'

He had nothing to apologize for, so she felt very embarrassed.

"No. Looks like I reacted wrong. If I had just said right away that it was very cheap, this situation would not have happened. It was a minor misunderstanding, so no need to apologize."

The Viscount was confused by Luna's apology and apologized again.

"No. Sorry for the guess. I had to ask you first."

"Everything is fine. I'm really sorry."

"No, I ..."

Rosemary hid in the hallway and watched it all.

'What are you two doing now ...?'

'What happened that you apologize to each other for so long? Are you crazy?'

It was as if they were competing in who would be the best to apologize.

With very reasonable reasoning and conclusions, Rosemary watched Luna's actions closely.

Meanwhile, Luna, who was even more apologetic, suddenly changed the subject.

"Something's hot here. I want to get some fresh air."

He seemed to be expecting her apology again, and prepared to apologize in return, but quickly switched from this situation, showed her a way out.

"You can go this way. Should I accompany you?"

However, the road leading to the street passed through the corridor where Rosemary was hiding.

'Why? No!'

Surprised, Rosemary turned around. Before Luna appeared in front of her, she needed to quickly hide somewhere.

'Heck! I have got pins and needles in my legs!'

Her legs were numb because she stared at Luna for a long time while sitting in an uncomfortable position. She could hardly move her legs.

"No, I just want to breathe a little."

Rosemary heard footsteps approaching her. She bit her lips tightly and hurriedly tried to escape.

But her body was not listening to her.

As a result, the moment she almost fell, beautiful black hair appeared in front of Rosemary's eyes.

"Everything is good!?"

"... ?!"

Jewel-like blue eyes looked directly at her. Her eyes were like the endless sea.

It was Luna. She grabbed her arm before Rosemary fell to the floor.

"Everything is good? Does it hurt you?"

Oddly enough, the person who asked this question shone brightly.

Rosemary nodded blankly, blushing.

"God bless. I was very surprised."

Luna helped her to stand up and straighten up.

It's time for her to introduce herself. But Rosemary took no action and stared blankly at Luna's face.

"... Rosemary?"

Royer, who belatedly followed Luna, opened his eyes wide, asking what was the matter. He recognized Rosemary at once.

"Royer, do you know each other?"

"Oh yeah..."

'I know her well ... I work for her family.'

Royer was about to say, but suddenly shut his mouth, unknowingly, feeling Rosemary's piercing gaze.

Rosemary greeted Luna and tried to translate the topic.

"I just came here to find out if I can help you with something. Have you seen the mansion yet? Did you like him?"

She interrupted Royer in a slightly rude gesture. But Luna did not pay attention to this, having heard the offer for help.

Luna, who had no idea that she was following her, responded.

"Yes. I liked it so much that I thought about buying it. I have so many questions about the mansion, and I really wanted to see you, what a blessing that you arrived early."

"Then why don't we take a break and talk? Actually, I'm just going to drink tea with sweets. Do you drink tea with milk? Or do you like herbal tea?"

"Just say what you want. And please have a drink with me. "

Luna did not think for a second, looking at the sparkling eyes looking directly at her.

'Is it because she wants to sell the mansion so badly?'

But Luna took these thoughts away from herself. She was grateful to her that she wanted to sell her this chic mansion.

"... By the way, I have a feeling that somewhere I have already seen her, moreover, quite recently."

While she was thinking, Rosemary hurried to speak to Luna again.

"Well, maybe you like wine more than tea? I have good wines, so just tell me. They can be brought right now."

Luna could not help answering her even longer. Rosemary, who stood in front of her, tried desperately to please her.

She was like a cute little animal eager for the attention of her master.

Not knowing what to say, Luna just thanked her.

"Thanks for the hospitality."

Then Rosemary, whose face brightened instantly, hurried into the living room.

Royer, bewildered by the situation in front of him, followed the two girls.

"Wait a minute."

In the next instant, someone grabbed Royer by the arm.

"... William?"

It was William, a butler from the Marquis family. He followed the situation from start to finish and advised Royer with a very serious face:

"Don't say anything superfluous. "

"... What?"

"What are you talking about?"

When he looked at him blankly, William again gave serious advice:

"I mean, keep quiet, because Rosemary will do everything herself."

"So Rosemary set up this whole situation?" Do you know everything?"

Of course, this was William's suggestion and Rosemary followed his advice.

As if it were a stupid question, William clicked his tongue. Royer was worried about this.

"What should I do?"

He really wanted to talk to Luna about a comfortable retirement, he wanted to talk to her about it after she purchased the mansion.

William shook his head firmly and said:

"I don't know why you are so worried, but if you don't want to suffer for the next ten years, stay put."

It was crushing advice from the butler.

Of course, Royer wasn't the only one worried. William will also be upset if he says or does something wrong.

William looked at Royer's ankle and said.

"Tell her you fell while walking towards her."

"... "

Royer, who wondered if there was a need to avoid this situation in this way, soon remembered Rosemary's tenacity and perseverance, and nevertheless made up his mind and said.

"Anyway, please be my witness. I would be grateful if you could confirm that I fell and my leg hurt. "

William nodded at Royer's grave request. It was a small alliance for the good of their peaceful life.
