"What... Excuse me, but can I ask what you are grateful to me for?"

"Ah, thanks for siding with Antares. This happens very rarely."

Instead of taking sides, they saw the truth for what it really was, and I felt embarrassed to even say thank you.

- Not. I just objectively assessed the situation.

But still, no one has done it. Except you."

Luna didn't know why, but except for just a few times, even his parents didn't do the same. They just thought their son had a mental illness.

Since childhood, Antares, as if obsessed with something, gradually lost interest in everything, and began to express his anger at Fersen.

But today, after hearing such a story of the moon, they realized that all their actions were wrong.

"Anyway, Carlton's arguments weren't entirely clear, but after hearing your words, Lady Luna, I'm convinced. That he was fired for a reason."

The Marquis changed the subject with a bright smile.

- My son is involved in this incident, so we want to help you. I have a good lawyer, so I will send it to you soon. He'll take care of everything young lady, don't worry."

Smiling, Rosemary answered her father.

- If you're talking about Royer, he's already here. It's been over a month now."

"... Is Royer here?"

The Marquis asked with a frown.

Luna felt remorse for having used their lawyer for a long time.

- Oh yes. When I had problems, Antares offered his help. He helped me a lot when he sent Royer to me. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about it right away."

After Luna's words, there was silence for a while. She wondered if it was because it was unpleasant for them, but suddenly it turned out that everything happened exactly the opposite.

"He offered to help you...?"

- Yes. Antares did a good job."

- Good deal? Antares?"

The marquises were momentarily confused when they heard about the unexpected actions of their son, which were completely unlike him.

"Ah, yes..."

Luna noticed the Marquises' mixed reactions, so she responded with the utmost care.

- ... Oh sorry! If our family lawyer helps such a beautiful lady, we are only happy. Feel free to use his services."

The marquise answered after a short pause. She was extremely friendly and did not look angry or displeased.

The marquis didn't say anything either, but the fact that his eyes looked so soft didn't seem dissatisfied.

After hearing that they were happy that their family lawyer was helping her, Luna finally realized that something was wrong.

Very friendly demeanor, soft tone, bright smile and even the ability to ask for help from their family lawyer.

Obviously, this was evidence that the marquises were in love with her.

"But what did I do...?"

"I didn't even say anything... All I had to do was confess how badly Carlton had deceived me."

"I even dragged Antares into my internal affairs, forcing him to resort to violence again."

Luna frowned slightly, not understanding the whole situation. She wanted to think everything over, what and where she had done wrong, but she did not understand anything.

"I'll make sure Carlton realizes what he's done." He won't bother you anymore."

Meanwhile, the marquis, smiling brightly, said that he understood everything and announced the end of the conversation. Luna spent quite a bit of time recounting Carlton's situation, but still their meeting ended sooner than she thought.

The sun was still at its zenith, it was possible to continue the conversation, but it would be rather rude to keep guests that I had never met before.

"I'm sorry that this happened." Antares said.

Luna thought that the story of Antares would be the main topic of discussion. She hurriedly stood in the wake of the marquises, who were about to leave.

- Are you that fast? I didn't even have time to treat you to delicious cookies and tea. And further..."

The marquis stopped for a moment and looked into her blue eyes.

- Rather, we should treat you. It looks like there are at least two people who owe you a debt."

Deep down in their hearts, they immediately liked the moon, but they were skeptical.

They had to make an appointment and talk to her and see what she was like.

After such a pleasant conversation, they left the glass greenhouse.

- Then, have a good trip. Thank you for your visit."

Shortly before the marchionesses got into the carriage, Luna expressed her sincere gratitude to them.

After a short farewell, Marquise was about to get into the carriage, but for a second she thought about something and said.

- Excuse me, do you happen to know where our Antares lives? I heard that he is somewhere in the capital ... "

In fact, that was what she wanted to ask from the first time they met. After Antares left Vincent's estate, he did not respond to sent letters. And when his mother came to visit him, he said that he did not want to see her, so that the Marquise could not even properly see his face.

After he became financially independent, with the money he earned at the top, he lost contact with his parents altogether.

They were very curious about whether he ate well, how he lived and how he felt.

Gathering her courage, she finally asked a question, Luna looked at the marquise in surprise and answered.

- I'm sorry. In fact, I don't know where he lives either. He only comes to me from time to time."

Luna was not surprised by Marquise's question. However, she was the second most frequent person she saw, after Rosemary, who was interested in him, but she didn't really care where Antares was staying.

Marquise looked very pathetic when she asked about his whereabouts, so Luna decided to give her a little hope.

- The next time we meet, I will definitely ask him. And I will definitely tell you."

- Not. No need. I'm glad he's doing well."

The marquise replied with a sincere smile.

- We'll probably go. Thank you very much for today."

After saying goodbye for the last time, the marquise got into the carriage. Rosemary, who was not particularly noticed, took Luna's hand, indicating that she did not want to return.

The marquises never took their eyes off her, controlling every muscle in her face.

- Come back soon, Rosemary. I'll be waiting for you."

Thanks to Luna, who very skillfully persuaded Rosemary, the Marquis family got into the carriage without scandals.

Rosemary, leaning out of the window, waved her hand to Luna for a long time.

"They are good people."

When the carriage became so small that it could not be seen, Laura said with a warm smile on her face.

- Yes. They turned out to be really good people."

***

Rosemary, still waving, though the mansion was no longer visible. The Marquis took her by the hand and said:

"Rosemary, please sit properly."

His sweet, warm voice, in which he spoke to Luna, turned cold abruptly. Obedient to her father, Rosemary sat down with a displeased expression on her face.

Contrary to Luna's impression, the marquis family spoke little among themselves. They didn't talk about anything but the essentials, so Rosemary was the only one who liked to chat.

So they sat down in their seats and had to return to silence, but for some reason the Marquis started talking to Rosemary.

- How old is she?"

- Luna? Twenty this year."

So that's a two year difference.

"The age difference is very appropriate." The Marquis thought with a very serious expression. Rosemary thought that was the end of the conversation, but the Marquis asked her the question again.

"I wonder how long they've been dating Antares?"

- ... "

Where and how did they meet. Luna has a gold mine in Pala, did they meet him at Vincent's estate?"

Questions rained down on Rosemary. Starting with their meeting place and ending with questions about the food that Antares and Luna love.

Rosemary's expression grew colder. Because the anxiety she used to feel has become a reality. Worry that a pair of Marquises will patronize the moon.

- I dont know."

Rosemary looked out the window, her arms crossed over her chest, as if she didn't want to answer anymore. Some questions were such that the Moon would not share.

The marquises, who were rejected in an instant, looked at Rosemary's cold reaction and closed their mouths.

The marquis thought for a moment, and then pulled out his prepared trump card, which Rosemary would not have resisted.

"If you give me the right answer, I'll leave you alone when you finish your studies, not even on holidays."

"What?"

Rosemary widened her eyes and looked at the marquis.

"Now that you're an adult, I agree to this."

Of course, this story was brought up with the intention of making the daily routine so that Rosemary wouldn't have time for it, but she didn't think so.

Her eyes lit up at the mere thought that she could somehow manage the schedule and go out.

- If so... Then I will tell you only what I know. Luna is a very sweet person. Very interesting and smart. This is the first time I see people like her."

The marquises began to listen to her story with interest. Of course, what followed was just pride in Luna.

Their carriage was driving farther away from Luna's mansion when an unfamiliar carriage passed by.

Her destination was the Rose Mansion.
