Chapter 201: Chapter 201

I felt heartbroken, but I said firmly, “… Throw it away, too. ”

“But my lady, this is the late emperor’s gift. If you abandoned it recklessly…”

I closed my eyes tightly. Though I wanted to throw them away, she had a point.

I replied with a deep sigh after pondering for a moment.

“… Keep it deep inside, so nobody can see it.”

“Yes, my lady. That’s all for now. Are you really going to throw all of them away?”

“No.”

“Oh, that’s what I guessed. They are too precious to throw away. Can I put them back?”

“Burn them all instead of throwing them away.”

“Pardon? Burn them all?”

“Yes, burn them all.”

Originally the clothes of someone who died should be burned. I’m here as Aristia la Monique, the successor of the Monique family, not as the woman named Aristia who already died.

“Oh, my lady… ”

“Don’t you hear me?”

“Oh, okay, my lady.”

After Lina went out with a bunch of dresses after some hesitancy, I slowly rose from the sofa and looked around at the empty dressing room.

Dresses in black, gray, navy blue.

I giggled at the mix of dresses in dark color.

When I was about to walk away from the dressing room after tidying up the disordered dresses, Lina suddenly reappeared and said, “My lady, Sir Carsein is here. What shall I do? ”

“…Tell him to go back. I can’t meet anybody today because I’m in bad shape. ”

“But…”

“Lina, when did you start talking back to me?”

I knew at some point that she followed Carsein like her master, but I felt she went too far.

Staring at her who flinched, I said coldly, “Because I regarded you as my friend, you seem to talk back to me too much. Your comment is okay, but if you meddle, I can’t accept it.”

“… Yes, my lady. I will be careful. ”

At that moment, the door was flung open. I stared at the young red-haired man who stepped in. How rude of him!

“What the heck are you doing? I didn’t even allow you to come in.”

“I couldn’t just go because you are out of sorts.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You were crying. I see your red face, ” said Carsein, approaching my desk and looking at me with a worried expression. As I was facing his blue eyes, I felt more and more jammed up on the inside.

He said, breathing roughly, “I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings. But I was really worried about you. ”

“… ”

I suddenly felt sorry for him. Given my first meeting with him or rumors about him in social circles, Carsein was not the type of man who was careful and considerate. He was far from it. He wasn’t so meticulous. Rather than being attentive, he was indifferent. In other words, he only focused on what he was interested in.

While he was trying his best to do something good for me, I could do nothing for him. Rather I was taking out my anger on him without any reason.

“Oh, I’m sorry for being angry.”

While I was apologizing to him out of guilt, I saw Duke Lars overlapping him. Despite his strong bondge with my family, he dumped me after thorough political calculations.

“Look at me, Tia.”

“… ”

“Ugh? Please raise your head. ”

I looked up at his low but appealing voice. I said with a sulken voice, “… What do you want to say to me?”

“I heard what happened at the Imperial Palace. Well… was my father also involved? ”
