After the marquis family left, Royer returned to the mansion. He handed Luna the contract termination agreement he had received from all the dismissed servants except Carlton and asked.

"Did your meeting go well?"

He asked about marquises. Royer knew these people, but he was still cautious, he just wasn't sure if he should ask her about it or not.

To this, Luna responded with a very bright expression.

- Yes. I explained everything to them, they understood me and said they would take care of it."

- You did it."

If the Marquis said they would take care of it, he was sure of him.

"That's good." Royer said and smiled.

"But how are they going to convince Carlton?" He made the marquises come here, I don't think he will agree so easily. The only option is if he is tried according to the law."

When Luna was worried that things would probably go wrong, Royer reassured her.

- Do not worry. They've known Carlton for a long time."

- Then I'm happy. In any case, thanks."

All worries vanished and Luna expressed her gratitude.

"Then I'll finish this job and come over."

He took back the agreement he gave Luna.

And as soon as the Moon was left alone again, drinking tea. From afar, an approaching carriage began to be seen.

It was a very familiar crew, so a wrinkle appeared on Luna's forehead.

"I told you not to come, what happened?"

- I asked you not to come. Why didn't you even tell me you were coming? You said you have a lot to do, but you don't seem busy."

Antares answered her, examining Luna's clothes for a moment.

- You're so beautiful. For what reason did you dress up?"

The servant pouring tea for Antares blushed and smiled awkwardly.

But Luna answered the question without even batting an eyelid.

- What's beautiful? It's a normal dress."

Luna did not want to say that the marquises were coming, so she answered sharply.

Antares, without saying a word, looked into Luna's eyes and answered as if it was natural.

- We're dating, so I can ask you about it. If someone else falls in love with you, it will add to the problems."

- Yes?"

When Luna answered in surprise, Antares added an explanation.

"Don't forget, you said you wouldn't leave until someone showed up next to me." If the lady leaves me, I'll be alone."

Of course, Luna had no intention of abandoning Antares even if he didn't remind her of her promise. She really planned to continue the relationship until someone was next to him.

- I remember my promise. I'm not going to date anyone but you."

While they were having such a flippant conversation, Laura left the mansion.

She had documents in her hands, most likely she was collecting reports from the servants.

She really liked Antares, so she greeted him with a wide smile.

- Antares! You are here, you have no idea how much we missed you."

Antares answered with a joyful smile.

- Me too. I would love to visit more often, but I was asked not to."

- Yeah, it would be better if you came to us more often. In any case, I'm glad that everything went well, and you can continue to come to us."

It was not an easy answer. It was a believable answer, as if she knew why Antares had been asked not to come.

Laura has been hooked by Antares. Luna, who was calmly drinking tea, froze and slowly set the cup to a hundred.

Antares wiped the smile off his face and turned to Luna.

One of my relatives must have come. Most likely, this is not Rosemary, if everything was kept secret.

- ... "

"So, parents?"

-... »

When Luna failed to answer him, Antares realized that he was right.

"Your parents have already left."

Luna spoke bluntly, unable to hide the truth any longer. The plan worked out when they didn't meet, so there was no reason to lie anymore. Luna sighed a little.

- You're right. It appears that Carleton visited the Marquis and complained to him."

It was obvious that he would keep asking questions, so Luna explained what had happened today. Antares was also involved in Carlton's beating, so she added.

"Anyway, they came here and said they would take care of it. That's all. They found out about our relationship, so I had to explain everything, that everything is not so serious. "

"But they are serious."

When Antares pointed out the strange detail, Luna frowned.

"I only have you, and I'm the only man you have, right?"

"That's true, but it's a bit of a strange statement."

"So I said everything right."

For some reason, Antares, who answered firmly, stood up from his seat and said that he had to go.

"Already?" Luna asked, puzzled.

"Is he leaving so fast? Then why the hell did you come here?" She knew that Antares was not the type to have so much free time.

- Yes. I only came here to deliver this."

He handed Luna a sheaf of papers.

At first glance, it was a business report. It was large, unlike the detailed report that Luna sent every time. She only summarized important information, so it was only a few pages long.

- This is a report at the end of the year. Details will be sent in the new year."

"Why did you come here, you have servants for such things."

- I haven't seen you for a long time, so I wanted to come personally. I think I'll be even busier in the future."

"You've already said those words."

Luna, who did not believe the words of Antares at all, pursed her lips.

To some extent, he was sincere, but when he was sharply rejected, Antares felt hurt.

- Be careful on the road. I'll review the documents."

Luna shook his hand and said goodbye.

"I wish you a good day too."

Saying goodbye, Antares' carriage departed. All this time, his expression was cold.

Luna's words came to mind: "It's not so serious," which had been bothering him all this time.

"This is madness..."

***

After a few days of a quiet schedule, the last day of the year is approaching.

But soon Luna received a letter from Carlton saying that he was going to terminate his contract. It was about confessing your frivolous transgression and even leaving the capital, so Luna bowed her head and asked Royer.

"Did you persuade him to do it?"

Even Emma got a letter of apology. It was as if he had become someone else, so Luna couldn't help but wonder.

- I dont know. Perhaps it's because he realized that he was powerless against you."

The marquises turned their backs on him, so he couldn't stand up to Luna.

Of course, it is more likely that the Marquis's conversations were accompanied by threats, but Royer did not talk about this.

- By the way, Mr. Antares has not been visiting lately. Did you have an argument?"

- Not. I heard he's a little busy right now."

- This is true? No matter how busy he is, I thought you'd see him today, on his birthday."

For lovers, a birthday is a very important day. Royer thought that his beloved knew about this, but when he saw the frozen moon, he understood.

"You didn't know?"

This was probably the reaction of a man who did not know his lover's birthday. To this, Luna blinked several times before answering.

"Because you didn't tell me."

- Oh my God. Didn't I write to you about it?"

"No, I didn't know about his birthday."

Royer touched his forehead with his palm, trying to find a way out of the situation.

- How do you even meet! But even now it's not too late, so why don't you prepare a gift and go to him?"

- Not a bad option.

Seeing that he had a bad relationship with his family, it was obvious that he would spend his birthday alone.

Luna thought she should send him a cake and remembered something she hadn't asked before when she met Antares for the last time.

By the way, Royer. Do you know where Antares lives?"

- ...What?"

"What should I do with this person who asks others where her lover lives?" Royer sighed and replied.

- Not. I dont know..."

Of course, he didn't know that either. I never even wanted to know.

- Then how about the top? Maybe he is there? Do you know where is it?"

- Not."

This meant that, after all, no one knew where Antares lived and worked. Not his lover, not his lawyer.

Both were important to Antares, so there was silence for a while.

Was it because it was a cold day, but it seemed to the moon that a cold wind was blowing from somewhere. Cold wind of indifference.

- Ouch! Come to think of it, Antares' coachman is in the mansion right now, isn't it? You can ask him."

Fortunately, Antares' coachman was indeed in the mansion, who was still teaching Ann.

Luna, having hastily learned from the coachman about the whereabouts of Antares' house, bought a cake and wine and went to Antares. She was looking forward to his reaction to her sudden visit.
