"That... that...!"

Mielle shook her hands and stuttered. Her clear green eyes were filled with tears. Her lips quivered to make excuses, and the seat where Isis had left was full of chill. Her departure meant that Oscar could also leave her.

'I don't even have a father to protect me anymore, so what do I do...!'

The eye of Mielle, who was on the verge of losing everything, was on the other side of Aria and Asher. Her forehead, which was stained with cold sweat, heated up at the sight of a mother and a daughter, who were relying on Asher. It was all because of the Crown Prince, who had suddenly appeared and disappeared with Aria.

'The Crown Prince who had suddenly appeared like a vision and disappeared with Aria.'

She didn't want to mention that because she couldn't bring the Crown Prince into the affair, but she was currently not in a position to hide it anymore. So even though she knew that it was not smart to mention the Crown Prince, her mouth began to mention him by itself.

"Well, come to think of it, I saw the Crown Prince in the mansion...!"

"... Me?"

"Your Highness... Your Highness disappeared with my sister, who fell on the floor! You showed up all of a sudden! Like a vision!"

"Ha... You'll really just say anything, don't you?"

As he laughed in vain like he was bewildered, Mielle sought consent from the young ladies who had become witnesses.

"I-is that, right? "Lady Median and Lady Wendy?"

It was bizarre that she burst into tears as she walked on an irreversible path.

"... Yes?"

There was no way to say yes. There was no one in the world that could get back onboard a ship that had already sunk. 'And he appeared like a vision? What a strange world this is!' So they shook their heads, and Mielle screamed and burst into tears. It had been a long time since her body collapsed under the chair.

No one supported her. Mielle's condition was very strange, and they were afraid that they might be wrongly linked and severely punished by the Crown Prince.

"Why, why... why don't you believe me? I saw her. I really saw her... Please someone...!"

Asher, who clicked his tongue at the cry ringing in the court, asked Frey for her psychic feelings.

"... Psychic feelings?"

"I think she's pretty crazy. She can't talk like that without it. Look at her condition now."

"... It's certainly strange."

Frey who was positive, and Aria, who blushed with tears this time, said, "... I think you'll need to check the psychological feelings of the young ladies who were in the mansion. Apparently, I wasn't there, but they kept saying that they were watching me. Ah! Come to think of it..."

The audience's curiosity poured on Aria, who opened her eyes wide as if she had thought of something.

"Maybe it was a different party than a tea party. Otherwise, they can't have a strange memory as a group... I heard that apparently, they stayed in the mansion until late at night, but it's strange that the underage ladies had been partying so late..."

While staring at Aria, who continued to talk carefully, Asher mentioned the word 'hallucinogen'. Hallucinogen was not difficult to obtain because it was consumed in secret among some nobles.
