"We're here."

The booked restaurant was close to the mansion of the Count. Aria stared at Asher's mysterious eyes for a while even though she heard the voice of the driver and took off. As if to be sorry for her body temperature, his hand grasped her hand again.

"Next time, I need to book a restaurant in the Kingdom of Croa."

He sighed deeply and complained from the bottom of his heart.

'It takes days to run to the Kingdom of Croa without any rest, but what are you going to do?' Aria, who had taken his escort in the slightest insinuation of the meaning of his words and got out of the carriage, entered the restaurant and said,

"Well, do we need to go out? Rather, it may be better not to go out anywhere."

At those words, Asher, who was slowly walking, stopped. Without answering, he looked down at her face. He wanted to do it right away, so she smiled and opened her mouth, urging him to take his steps again.

"I hope a year passes soon, and it becomes next year." Her words with a smile made him furrow his forehead obviously.

"... Yes, you're right." As he stepped, his feet were a little rough.

As he entered the restaurant with her, he heard some people talking, and it was the guests because the staff acted politely toward them since it was a luxury restaurant.

Asher said, looking upset,

"... There are guests."

He didn't rent the whole restaurant, but he thought it was a reservation in his name, so he thought they would not receive or arrange other guests, but they did not somehow.

He didn't pay for this in advance, but even though he didn't mention it, he always paid the entire restaurant after the meal. However, some people reserved seats beforehand and were eating. The manager hurried out to the appearance of Asher and said while lowering his head,

"... I am so sorry. I've told them many times that it's going to be difficult for them to have a meal today, but..."

"No, I didn't rent the whole restaurant beforehand, but it's weird to force it. It's okay."

Asher shook his head, saying that he was okay because the manager was about to kneel on the floor, and Aria thought it was natural as she felt that it was so pitiful that he was apologizing while trembling.

Even if there were people, it was not a big deal because they were sitting far away from them. The manager wouldn't have wanted to face this situation, and he must have persuaded the guests but failed.

Asher narrowed his eyes and tried to measure who were the ones eating. He wondered who these people were because they ignored what the restaurant's manager was telling them even though they had been told that it would be difficult to get a seat at the restaurant.

The same was true of Aria. If they had been told that someone higher than them would visit, they would have returned because it was natural that the higher the status of the reserved guest was, the harder it would be to eat.

However, they still remained and ate. One was a humble identity that did not know such a thing; the other was a high enough identity that they didn't care about such a thing. And if they had visited the most expensive and luxurious restaurant in the empire, the latter was clear.
