"Wait a minute. Why are they already here?"

Viscount Clear and Luna arrived earlier than expected, and Rosemary, who was still not ready, grabbed her head.

Before their arrival, she wanted to pretend to be drinking tea in the garden and naturally invite them to join her.

She was not ready mentally, let alone tea.

It was a big deal. Her heart was pounding wildly. Rosemary pulled herself together and asked the butler.

"What should I do!?"

"Everything is good. Have her look around the mansion, and then you can walk up and ask if she has any questions, and then strike up a conversation."

Rosemary's heart also skipped a beat at the cold voice of the butler.

It's a very simple task, but she was a little scared to speak to Antares's lover.

"And don't worry, we have 20 knights ready."

Rosemary nodded humbly at the butler's words. Then she focused on the carriage she saw through the window.

"They said they recently discovered a gold mine, so it's understandable why she has such a good carriage."

After a while, the door of the carriage opened, and the man she longed to see appeared.

"...Oh my God. Now it is clear why Antares fell in love with her. "

She thought there would be nothing to see, but Antares's beloved was prettier and more elegant than she thought.

Rosemary did not even think that such a pretty girl would be with him.

"It turns out that she defeated Fersen in court."

"He did not do his job at all, since he brought it to my mansion so quickly."

If this were not the case, they might not have arrived so quickly.

Rosemary sat up and listened more attentively to their conversation through the half-open window, trying to learn more about the man who was meeting with Antares.

She heard a conversation, albeit a small one.

"As you said, the garden is very beautiful. I would be sorry if I hadn't come. "

"I'm so glad you like it."

"By the way, how do you grow roses in this weather?"

"We have carefully searched for and selected high quality rose varieties that can withstand cold weather."

"You must know a lot about this. This is probably so exciting and interesting. "

"Hahaha! I am a little embarrassed because I exaggerated a little, but I am grateful for your praise."

"... BUT? Why is he so funny?"

She could not understand why he laughed so much, praised his work and the mansion.

"Did I hear that?"

Rosemary, suspicious of what she heard, in a slight tension, she again began to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"By the way, no matter how good the variety is, I think you'll need a gardener to look after everything."

"Yes. Right."

"If you do not have a personal gardener and you buy this house, can I introduce you to the gardener? My employees cannot do without this garden."

"Good. But first you need to talk to the owner."

Luna wanted to see not the gardener, but the owner of this mansion.

But Rosemary was in no hurry to meet with her, there were many rumors about Luna, so she could not fully understand what Luna really was.

She did not know if rumors about the trial spread quickly, but if you look at the fact that the overall situation was quite quiet, it means that very few people still know about Luna and Antares.

"Perhaps the Duke's family is stopping all rumors."

In response to Luna's request, the savvy Viscount Clear answered her.

"Do not worry. She is a good person, I will definitely introduce you."

"I'm glad ... However, I'm a little worried, so I should probably give her a little present."

"It will cheer her up."

"... Are you worried? Present?"

Everything she heard seemed very strange to her.

She was kind and caring, not like ordinary nobles.

The nobles were arrogant people. They thought of themselves first, and any other nobleman would like to meet a gardener.

"Strange, she's too good."

The butler stood with his mouth parted, not far from Rosemary. This whole picture also seemed very strange to him.

"How can such a normal person get along with Antares?"

Regardless of what a servant named Ron said to her, seeing and hearing it in person was another matter entirely.

"I thought so too, but when I spoke to Royer, I clearly heard that Antares was meeting with Mrs. Luna Pales."

So far, rumors and people have only confirmed what they have seen.

"No. If we look a little more, we should see something, it's all too strange."

Rosemary was sure. The butler also agreed and nodded.

At the same time, the voices of Clear and Luna were heard more and more through the open windows.

"The garden is very beautiful, but the main building of the mansion is simply magnificent. The outer wall, inner wall and floor are made of imported high quality stone and are not only beautiful but also durable."

"Good. Can I take a look around? "

"Sure."

When she said she would look around the mansion, Rosemary glanced at the butler.

"Let's go after her."

"Yes. You need to follow her."

"What are you talking about? Let's go together."

"... It's easier for one person to do this, isn't it?"

"So I will go after her alone?"

"Yes, it will be better that way."

"William, you are from our family, you have to help me!"

"I'm from the Fern family."

"No, it is, but ... "

"Of course, I would like to be part of the family of the Marquis Vincent, but I am from the Fern family.

"But..."

"So do it for your family, Rosemary."

She had nothing to answer him. The butler was the winner in their argument, while Rosemary sulked, the butler glanced at her and bowed.

Rosemary, deciding that the butler wouldn't help her anyway, quickly disappeared in search of Luna.

Knights are everywhere, so my heart can calm down a little.

***

Luna slowly surveyed the mansion. Since she wanted to live here, she carefully rubbed the windowsill with her hand, checking how often cleaning was done here.

"How many people does it take to keep such a mansion clean?"

"It was not always used, so I heard that the mansion is run by one butler and fifteen staff."

"Then, if we live here, this number must increase."

"Yes. How about asking the owner about the most effective number of people? "

"Can I even ask such a banal thing?"

"Sure. She is an intelligent and cheerful woman, so she will certainly be happy to help you."

Looking around the mansion, Luna smelled pie.

This means that the host was really expecting guests. And maybe he wants to invite them to tea.

"I'm sure you know something that I don't know, so you can give me a hint."

"What worries you?"

Luna thought that most of the nobles were not suitable for her. Of course, the noble people she encountered were strange people like Fersen, Seira, or her friends.

"Tell us about the owner of the house, besides the fact that she is very nice and friendly. Does she really want to help me?"

If so, that would be great. After all, Laura, Baron or Emma do not know anything about such a large and good mansion, so it would be better to ask her for help.

"It would be nice to have a good relationship with her." Luna continued.

After the trial, Luna realized that rumors could spread very quickly. Aside from that, rumors that she was destroying the relationship between Fersen and Seira would continue to be widely discussed, so Luna was worried if she would like her.

Smiling, the Viscount replied that she shouldn't be worried.

"Of course, you will definitely make friends. I have never met such a wise, beautiful, witty, elegant, kind, girl. The hostess is also a friendly person, so she will definitely like Mrs. Payles ..."

He enthusiastically praised her.

It was a nice gesture, but don't overdo it. Luna was embarrassed and turned her gaze to the side, her eyes caught the hem of a dress hiding in the corridor.

"Pink dress?"

It was also a high quality dress of a very pleasant color, worn only by wealthy nobles.

Luna blinked and looked again at the corridor, where there was already no one, then she decided to ask the viscount.

"Is there anyone else who came to see the mansion?"

"No. You are the first, I only opened the mansion yesterday."

"Yes?"

'It was the hem of a very beautiful dress. The maids won't wear that.'

Luna looked back again. But there was no one else.

'Maybe a ghost? I've never heard of ghosts walking around in broad daylight.'

Luna looked around the mansion for too long and didn't really see anything. It didn't really matter, so Luna continued her walk.
