The fourth day of Rubetria Diollus isolation in Lubon.
At the office in the villa on a leisurely afternoon.
Bum, bubumm—!
Heavy classical music with the excitement of magnificent high instruments flows on top of the thin piano melody.
In the video projector on the desk, a recorded performance by a famous orchestra was playing.
Intoxicated with the classical music that tickled her ears pleasantly, Rubette gently closed her eyes and savored the melody. Her head was nodding and her lips were perking up.
“Ahhh! There must be a misunderstanding!”
Just then, a scream was heard from the military police passing by her villa, interrupting her languid rest.
It was the voice of Baron Lubon, who was to be escorted to the military police and subject to further investigation with his track record stolen and his title confiscated.
After sending a letter to Viego, the family investigation team and the Imperial Military Police, who were dispatched on the same day, went straight into the investigation and accomplished a splendid feat in just three days.
Rubette, who had been smiling with her eyes closed, frowned.
“Sienna.”
“Yes, lady.”
“Could you turn up the sound of the video a bit more? Something is barking somewhere...”
“Of course.”
Tang, tang, tang—!
Someone’s screams were drowned out by the louder music. Rubette’s expression became peaceful again.
“Mmm.”
Rubette, who was wagging her fingers and humming as if she were the conductor of the orchestra, picked up the letter on her desk and skimmed through it.
My dear sister, Rubette.
Your brother is ashamed. If it wasn’t for your help, I would have never been able to fathom the situation in Lubon.
A new trustworthy person will be selected as a representative in Lubon shortly.
Always be healthy.
With love, Viego.
Laughing loudly, Rubette tossed the letter onto the desk, closed her eyes again, and immersed herself in the classical music.
“My lady, Miss Rebecca has asked me to deliver the report from Madame Becky of

Sienna, who nodded, lowered the sound of the video stone where the classical music was playing and took out a new video stone, and played it.
Rubette sat on a luxurious chair with her legs crossed and her back relaxed, looking at the video.
“A promotional video for the new autumn dress of
“Oh, as expected of our great actress. Look at this pretty face and haughty expression.”
Rubette was thrilled to see the promotional video that was being played through the video board on the boutique street of the capital.
The new autumn dress, with three-quarter puff sleeves as the point, fit perfectly as if it were tailored to model Sarah Hugo’s body.
Besides, as expected, the goddess of acting, Sarah, showed off her indifferent yet elegant expression and beautiful gestures, keeping the watchers’s eyes on her throughout the video.
A beautiful secret—
“I found it in Blanc de Ruby’s autumn.”
In the video, Sarah, who put her index finger on her lips, left a short line with her enchanting smile.
“Kyaa!”
Clap, clap, clap!
Rubette clapped her hands, and Sienna, who was standing next to her, lowered her head and smiled.
Soon, Rubette, who raised her chin proudly, turned to Sienna.
It was a pose that was a bit arrogant but couldn’t be more appropriate than this. It looked like a habitual behavior.
“Let’s go, secretary.”
And Sienna answered, feeling something beating in her heart.
“... Yes, boss!”

Lubon Workshop.
The workshop workers, whose faces had improved in a few days, were working hard.
Charlie hurriedly came out and met me.
“Princess!”
“You’re doing a great job today, too. I think the number of people at the workshop has increased.”
“It’s all thanks to you, Princess. Some of the scattered family members came back.”
“What a relief.”
“By the way, about the overdue wages you paid off... I wondered if you misunderstood the amount. The overdue wages were three months’s worth...”
“No. There’s no way I misunderstood that. It’s not just three months’s overdue wages, but five years’s workshop income that had to be paid to you.”
Charlie bit his lip with a darkened expression.
“Well... It is also my fault that I signed a contract with Baron Lubon without checking the facts.”
“He was going to cheat you in the middle from the beginning. How could you have checked the facts? It’s our fault for sending only the inspector and not examining the situation more carefully.”
“Ah...”
“You don’t have to worry about it because we only paid for the labor we should have paid to you. If you’re feeling anxious, please take care of the workshop family who worked hard together.”
“Princess... Thank you very much. How should I repay this favor... Ah! Jeremy, this guy! Your Highness came, but he didn’t even come out to say hello!”
“Oh, don’t worry. I’m not here to invite a friend who’s busy working to say hello. However, since I’m here, I’ll just look at his face.” After laughing and stopping Charlie, I opened the door to the small studio on one side of the workshop.
‘He’s working hard.’
I could see the back of Jeremy, who was sitting at the messy desk. His back bent as much as it could as he was engrossed in his work.
It’d only been a few days, but I’d gotten pretty close with my friend Jeremy, who was the same age as me.
I tried to be nicer to him because I felt sorry...
‘But he looks busy, shall I come back later?’
Even at his young age, Jeremy was a genius boy with good dexterity to the extent that Mr. Charlie praised him until his mouth was dry.
When I was about to turn away, not wanting to interfere with his work.
“Oh, you’re here?”
“Ah, Jeremy. I didn’t mean to interfere. Just keep doing what you’ve been doing.”
“No! I was thinking of going to find you...”
“Mm? Me?”
Jeremy talked comfortably to me when we were alone because I had deliberately asked for it as I didn’t have many peers and wanted to get close quickly.
“Mm-hmm. I have something for you.”
“Mm? What-”
Jeremy got up from his seat and approached me.
And the moment I saw it.
‘Oh, my gosh...!’
In a daze, I couldn’t help but scream inwardly.
