With the exception of a few students, the exchange program had been proceeding well, and now there were only a few days left. It was around then that Parfette became even more tearful than before, as the time to say goodbye was drawing near.

“Lady Mary! Lady Maaary...!” she cried. She was shaking so much that the vibrations carried through Mary’s arm, which the girl was clinging to, and caused Mary’s hair to shake too.

(Adi had at one point wistfully remarked, “Those drills wouldn’t have budged from such a thing.” Mary wondered where the pink slip she’d slapped him with on that day had disappeared to.)

“Don’t cry so much,” Mary admonished. “There’s still a few days left. And even after it’s over, you can come and visit.”

“But... But it all went so quickly! And when I think of the distance that will be between us, I can’t stop my tears... A wall will soon stand in our way in the form of national borders!”

“Very true. Perhaps you could build a holiday home here?”

“House Marquis doesn’t have such wealth... Ah!” Parfette gasped and quickly whipped around as if she’d just realized something.

Standing nearby was a group of three men—Adi, Patrick, and Gainas. When Parfette suddenly turned to them, three pairs of eyes in different colors all widened in unison.

Acting as the representative, Gainas spoke up. “What is it, Parfette?”

“House Marquis doesn’t have the funds to build a villa... But with House Eldland, it’s a different story! Lord Gainas, let’s get married! I shall have House Eldland’s wealth in my hands! And then I’ll build a holiday home close to House Albert!” Parfette urged vigorously, as though she were convinced this was her only means of survival.

Gainas grew flustered and shook his head. “Parfette, you want to marry me just for my fortune...?!”

“I only wish to be close to Lady Mary! Don’t equate my feelings to something like that! I simply want to get my hands on House Eldland’s fortune so I can be with her!”

“If that’s not marrying for the sake of fortune, then what is it?!”

“So you’re saying you don’t want to marry me, Lord Gainas?!”

“N-No, I do! I do want to marry you, but...!”

While Gainas appealed that he didn’t want to get married for such reasons, Parfette’s wrath intensified as she argued that marriage was the purpose of their engagement. The girl clung to Mary’s idea of the villa, tossing her ladylike conduct aside to press Gainas despite her small stature. She was shaking like a leaf from her anger. Well, she was always shaking, but this was different from her usual kind of shaking. A professional like Mary could tell as much at a glance.

Seeing her like that, Mary sighed before placing her hand on Parfette’s arm soothingly. She’d said the holiday home thing as a joke, but now she was feeling responsible for the result.

“Calm down a little, Parfette. We still have some time, and even if you do decide to build a villa, it won’t be done right away.
