Those at House Roussel never would’ve dreamed that Jeanette had had such a conversation about them.

The sunlight brightly illuminated the sitting room, where Ariel was doing embroidery. On the other side of the diagonal sofa was her mother, Leila. The woman was propping up her chin in her hand, gazing out the window with a dour look on her face. This had recently become her routine, and she’d been acting this way ever since Jeanette bought back the title deed to Roussel Corporation.

“The weather’s nice today,” Ariel spoke up. “Maybe you could try taking a relaxing walk outside, mother?”

Yet even as the girl waited for several moments, her mother did not reply.

She tried again. “Then how about some shopping? You used to do it all the time, remember?”

“Ugh! That’s enough out of you!” Leila raised her voice in vexation, glaring at her daughter.

Ariel sulkily replied, “Come on, you don’t have to speak to me like that. I’m just worried for you. You’ve been secluding yourself in the house and getting angry... Can’t you just forget that whole thing with Jeanette? We got a lot of money from selling the title deed, so why not use it to entertain yourse—”

Before she could continue, Leila’s eyes sharpened in a way Ariel had never seen before. “Don’t you dare speak that name!” the woman ordered harshly, and Ariel’s shoulders sank. “Gracious! That accursed Jeanette! I bet she’s strutting around high society and showing off her victory right about now! Just picturing it infuriates me!”

Watching her mother punch the sofa, Ariel cried, “Mother, stop! That’s just graceless!”

Leila only glared at her again. “Aren’t you frustrated as well?! That girl got her hands on Claus!”

“Of course I am!” Ariel responded indignantly. “I mean, no matter how you look at it, I’m prettier than Jeanette.” With that, the girl stood up with vigor and brushed her fingers through her beautiful golden locks. “Just look at me! I have golden hair and blue eyes, and I inherited your beauty, mother. And unlike that upstart, I have proper noble lineage!” she huffed.

Leila finally smiled. “Exactly. My previous husband is your biological father, which means you have unmistakable blue blood flowing through your veins.”

“Right! Besides, Jeanette doesn’t behave like a lady at all. She doesn’t embroider, dance, or play the piano, and all she ever talks about is money. Her expression when she talks about business is just gross! I’m basically perfect compared to her, aren’t I?”

“You are. You had a flood of suitors in the past too,” Leila affirmed.

“Exactly!” Ariel nodded. “And yet...” Suddenly losing her oomph, she sat back down with a bleak expression. Lord Claus chose my sister... Recalling that fact made Ariel sigh.

Claus Guivarch was her angel. She still couldn’t forget the impact her first meeting with him had left on her. His silver hair shone with a noble luster, and he had clear, mystical violet eyes. The shape of his nose and lips were beautiful, and just his presence alone could’ve turned any place into paradise.
