- What are you talking about?"

Suddenly Seira heard unexpected news.

Flora told, without missing a single detail about what happened to her in the morning.

"... You really gave her money and asked her to leave the capital?"

- Yes! I just thought that this is what she wants! I was hoping this would solve all our problems! "

Flora told the story for a very long time, so the tears had already stopped. A feeling of anger came instead.

Seira felt deep sympathy for Flora. But she didn't regret her decision. She was still sure that money could help her.

If she really intended not to interfere with her and Fersen.

However, Fersen's actions may have ruined everything.

Listening to Flora's story, Seira remembered the "betrayal" that the butler had mentioned in his letter.

- That is, she made me a villainess !? What will the girls who came to their party think of me ...! "

Flora took out a handkerchief and wiped away the last of her tears.

- I didn't even have time to say anything! I was attacked from all sides, so I just fled from there in tears! "

- ... "

- But, damn it ... I still do not understand why you decided to give her money. Did it really help? "

Although Flora was on Seira's side, she was enveloped in a misunderstanding.

- All because of her vile behavior! Bullying others is routine for her. You yourself saw when she came to my house! "

"Didn't I know Fersen? How could he believe the words of this lying girl? But ... what should I do now? "

Seira thought, holding the cup firmly in both hands.

Flora began to get nervous seeing Seira's condition.

Karen stayed at the party and most likely did not share the opinion of many girls, so for Seira she was the only person she could trust.

Someone had to support her. Otherwise, it was clear that her upcoming coming-of-age party would be very sad.

Seira, who had been silent for a while, soon opened her mouth as if making a firm decision to do something.

- We must meet with Fersen. "

"... Mr. Rodrienne?"

"So suddenly?"

Obviously, she was talking about herself, but Flora was so scared as if she was being sent to this sudden meeting.

Seira then pulled out the butler's letter, which she put in the drawer, and showed it to Flora.

- I recently received this letter. So I was a little shocked ... But now, having heard your story, I think I should meet with Fersen and talk. Looks like I saw only part of the big picture. "

Flora, who hastily read Seira's letter, could not hide her surprise.

- What? She sued him? "

"I don't know the details either, but I think Mister Fersen was in danger trying to help Luna. The butler wrote that she is now meeting with Mr. Vincent. "

"So he was sued for trying to stop them ... !?"

- May be. I haven't seen Fersen lately, so I need to know more about it.

- Oh my God..."

Flora was shocked at what fate befell Fersen.

But on the other hand, she was a little glad to learn that there was someone else who suffered from injustice.

This proved that Luna was really a villain, so she felt a little better in her soul.

"Then we definitely need to find out more. Mister Fersen suffers! "

Flora said lifting Seira from her chair.

Seira's heart beat faster with Flora's rush. Calling a maid to her, she began to get ready to meet with Fersen.

***

On the same day, Seira arrived for the duchy. Although she did not warn the butler of her visit, he happily greeted her.

"Haven't seen each other for a long time, Mistress Seira."

- Yes. Is Fersen all right? "

If everything had been as usual, she would have had a little chat with the butler, but now Seira couldn't afford it.

She wanted to meet with Fersen as soon as possible in order to confirm or deny her guesses.

"I wish I could say yes."

- ...! "

She had already read about it in a letter, but when she heard about it directly, her heart beat even faster. "

- In fact, he is in a very unstable state. The Duke is also very concerned about his condition. "

- Unstable ... !? "

- After the betrayal at the trial, he stopped eating normally. He was also disappointed with your situation, Lady Sayra. He regretted that he was so worried about his person and completely forgot about you. "

The answer seemed to rip Seira's heart to pieces.

"Has he stopped eating? Is it really that bad? "

Tears seemed to come to her eyes, so Seira grabbed the butler's hand.

- Please, come quickly, escort me to Fersen's room. I want to see him sooner and comfort him. "

Seeing Seira's excitement, the butler decided to speak to her before she went to Fersen.

"May I ask you for a request?"

"Does this concern Fersen?"

"Yes ... Whatever happens, even if Mr. Fersen is a little different from his former self, I hope you will not leave and support him."

It was a very simple request. She was going to do it even without his request.

"... And in the future, I hope you will always be with Fersen, so that he does not have to go through these difficulties alone."

It hurt so much to hear those words.

"Okay, I'll try to do my best."

When Seira nodded, the butler led her into Fersen's room with a gentle smile.

"Mister Fersen, Lady Sayra has arrived."

"Lady Seira?"

Fersen asked in a slightly surprised voice. In the next instant, Seira stepped carefully over the threshold and entered the room.

Fersen was sitting surrounded by a pile of documents, seeing Seira, he greeted her with a sad expression on his face.

- Hello Seira. Sorry I couldn't get in touch with you all this time. "

He realized her absence only now. All because all his thoughts were about the Moon and Antares, he completely forgot about the existence of Seira.

- Fersen ...! "

Without knowing it, Seira covered her mouth with her hands. During the time that she did not see him, he was so emaciated that he seemed to have aged a couple of years.

Seira's eyes trembled. Fersen has not yet said anything to her, but she has already forgiven him all mortal sins.

"I don't know what bothers you so much, but I'm sorry we haven't seen each other for so long."

- Not. I am sorry that I left the lady alone, on the pretext that I was busy with work. "

"I should have paid more attention to you ..."

"You said you were busy with work, although I know you were deceived."

- Everything is fine. We can change a lot in our future. "

Seira grabbed Fersen's hand, and he spoke kindly. His long, large arms seemed a little smaller.

However, all the butler's worries were in vain. Although he hasn't been stable lately, his affection for Seira has remained the same.

- What are these documents? Do you work? Is there anything I can help you with? "

Seira asked, pointing to the stack of papers that Fersen had just looked through.

Hearing her words, Fersen, who had just looked at Seira with kind eyes, frowned sharply.

"These documents will pinch this worm!"

His voice was as cold as ice. Startled by this, Seira mechanically let go of Fersen's hand and asked.

- Worm ...? "

- Yes. This deceiver. I will destroy him completely and discard him like a wild beast. That is why I need these documents. "

This was the first time Seira had seen him like this. She could not even think that it was him, after he held her hand and said kind words.

Seira was petrified and could not say a word. At that moment, Fersen again took her hand, and said:

- You are very smart, help me. You are welcome. Now I have only you left. "

The butler's words were true. Fersen was unstable. This was not normal. Seira wanted to let go of his hand and leave this place right now, but she couldn't leave Fersen.

- ...I will help. Tell me more. "

"How can I leave him now? Now he is shrouded in anger and a thirst for revenge, but when this is over, everything will return to normal. "

Seira, determined to help him, kissed Fersen lightly on the cheek. From now on, he belonged only to her. That was enough.
