‘I believed my coronary heart was going to leap out!’

Rosemary shortly hid in a hall main elsewhere, clutching her chest.

‘Why did she all of a sudden flip round whereas strolling nicely! Did she discover me? She most likely didn’t, proper? It will be dangerous if she did!’

She fearful whether or not she may’ve been seen since she hid a bit too late and her physique trembled.

Rosemary held her breath and pricked up her ears. Fortuitously, there was no sound of approaching footsteps.

Relieved, Rosemary calmed herself and began observing Luna extra cautiously.

“How a lot is the worth?”

“The value you’ve given is 10,000 gold.”

“10,000 gold?”

Luna, who was following the noble, all of a sudden stopped in shock.

This grand and exquisite mansion for under 10,000 gold?

The mansion she noticed earlier can’t even be in contrast, even the worth of the roses right here alone appeared value 10,000 gold.

She would’ve been grateful even when it was 15,000 gold, she thought…

Nevertheless, the Viscount misunderstood Luna’s remark.

“In fact, because you got here with Antes’ introduction , you’ll be able to discuss to the proprietor and alter the quantity of two,300 gold extra.”

So low-cost. Can it actually be true? When Luna opened her eyes huge in shock, the Viscount gritted his tooth.

‘How far more does she need it decreased?’

He had already supplied a value with little revenue for himself since she got here by Antes.

However he couldn’t simply inform her to verify one other mansion if she discovered it too low-cost.

‘The Marquis had helped our household set up our place, we must always repay him.’

Pondering of his gratitude in direction of Marquis Vincent, the Viscount reluctantly lowered the worth additional.

“…If it’s nonetheless burdensome, I’ll cut back it by one other 1,000 gold.”

When the worth dropped ridiculously, Luna misplaced her curiosity in shopping for the mansion. It was inconceivable to promote such an excellent mansion for such a low value in the suitable thoughts.

The dialog went off monitor. Luna requested with suspicious eyes:

“Is there any defect within the mansion?”

Does she intend to barter the worth even additional by declaring defects?

He had seen many individuals subtly making an attempt to haggle utilizing their energy and standing, however this was the primary time he met somebody so direct.

‘Certainly, she’s that man’s lover.’

The Viscount regretted decreasing the worth an excessive amount of and firmly denied any defects within the mansion, resuming his function as a dealer.

“Completely not. Defects? It’s a mansion we’ve maintained each day. You’ve seen it, isn’t it a splendid mansion?”

“Then why is it so low-cost?”

“…Pardon?”

“It’s a mansion that wouldn’t be unusual even when priced at 15,000 gold. Except there are defects, it shouldn’t be this low-cost.”

Luna urged him for an easy reply, as if she was keen to simply accept defects.

Solely then did the Viscount notice the explanation for Luna’s shock. It wasn’t as a result of it was costly, however as a result of it was too low-cost.

He regretted judging her with out realizing the information and heaved a sigh of aid.

“Ah, I see. I believed you wished a lower cost…”

“Huh? Why would I? I do know the worth of issues. In fact, it’d be good to purchase it cheaply… but when it’s too low-cost, I’ll all the time be suspicious. I’ll maintain searching for defects that don’t exist, possibly even till I die.”

“I apologize. I used to be too hasty and misunderstood. I’m really sorry.”

The Viscount bowed deeply in apology. Since he had misjudged Luna, however she, unaware of this, was solely puzzled.

Was this one thing to apologize for therefore formally? Or was he all the time this well mannered?

Seeing somebody of upper rank, honor, and age apologize so sincerely over such a trivial matter made her really feel awkward. In any case, she was from a rustic recognized for its politeness.

“No want. It appears I didn’t talk correctly. Simply including a phrase about it being too low-cost would’ve clarified issues. It was a minor misunderstanding; you don’t must apologize a lot.”

The responsible Viscount was bowled over by Luna’s apology and supplied one other one.

“No, I ought to have requested for the explanation first moderately than making assumptions. I’m sorry.”

“It’s advantageous.”

“No, I actually am.”

“Actually, it’s okay. I’m the one who ought to apologize.”

“No, moderately I…”

And behind the hall, secretly watching the entire scenario, Rosemary shortly shut her astonished mouth.

‘What are they doing proper now…?’

Why are they so stressed, not with the ability to apologize to one another? Are they loopy?

Even when it was to keep away from making a mistake, why on the earth would Antes’ lover be concerned?

If he have been really the lover of that notorious one, she ought to, as befitting his fame, slap Viscount’s face with none purpose… But for some purpose, they have been taking turns apologizing to one another, as if betting on who might apologize higher.

‘Might or not it’s they discover pleasure in embarrassing one another like that?’

If she have been the lover of that madman, there was a chance she could be that twisted.

After kindly asking all these questions, in the long run, she may simply say ‘No thanks.’ and tear up the contract.

Rosemary, having come to a really logical conclusion, intently noticed Luna’s actions.

In the meantime, Luna, who was having a contest with somebody over who might apologize extra, all of a sudden modified the subject, making an attempt to flee the quagmire of apologies.

“It’s sizzling, isn’t it? I’d like some recent air.”

At that, the particular person about to apologize once more, paused and confirmed her the best way out. He too, seemingly, discovered the loop of apologies burdensome.

“Go this fashion. Shall I accompany you?”

Nevertheless, the trail main outdoors handed proper by the hall the place Rosemary was hiding.

‘No, why!’

Startled, Rosemary rapidly turned to go away the hall earlier than Luna might see her.

‘Oh, shoot! My legs go numb!’

Sadly, as a result of she had been standing awkwardly for a very long time watching Luna, her leg had fallen asleep. Every step felt as if her leg was about to break down.

“It’s okay. I’m simply going out for a second. Why?”

She heard the footsteps approaching in response. Rosemary bit her lip and hurriedly moved her legs.

However simply because she tried to maneuver shortly didn’t imply her physique cooperated.

As she was about to journey, a cascade of easy black hair blocked her view.

“Are you okay!?”

“…!?”

Eyes as stunning as gem-filled oceans studied Rosemary’s situation.

It was Luna. Simply earlier than Rosemary might fall on her butt, Luna caught her by the arm.

“Are you okay? Are you not harm?”

Surprisingly, her face was glowing as she requested.

What’s occurring? Rosemary, her face turning purple, blankly nodded.

“That’s a aid. You actually startled me.”

Luna shortly helped the dazed Rosemary to her toes.

She ought to have straightened herself up, however Rosemary was so captivated by Luna’s face that she merely stared.

“…Girl Rosemary?”

Following behind Luna, Royer widened his eyes in shock, recognizing the scenario and Rosemary.

“Royer, are you aware her?”

“Ah, sure…”

I do know her very nicely… I work for her household.

Royer was about to say this when he all of a sudden shut his mouth due to a pointy look from Rosemary.

Probably fearful that he may say one thing inappropriate, Rosemary adjusted her posture and greeted Luna.

“I heard you have been coming to see the mansion, so I believed I could be of some assist. Sorry for my unpleasant look. Did you just like the mansion?”

Her phrases have been a mixture of greeting and excuse. Her demeanor was unusually awkward.

As a result of surprising incident earlier, her preliminary worry of Luna had lengthy since vanished, shortly changed by a way of fondness.

Luna, not suspecting Rosemary was following her, replied;

“Sure, I used to be contemplating shopping for it as a result of I appreciated it a lot. I had many questions on the mansion and wished to satisfy you. It’s lucky you’re right here.”

“How about now we have a chat over some tea? Truly, I’ve ready some candy tea and snacks. Do you want milk tea? We even have natural tea.”

Simply inform me what you’d like. And please, have a drink with me.

Luna blinked momentarily as she confronted the shimmering emerald eyes, as they reminded her of one thing.

‘Is she wanting so dangerous to promote the mansion?’

There was no must go that far. It was a gorgeous mansion that one would thank and bow if it have been merely supplied on the market.

…Talking of which, it felt acquainted. The place had she seen it? It felt current. Very current certainly.

As Luna contemplated, Rosemary hurriedly urged Luna for a solution.

“Would you like wine over tea? Now we have some treasured wines, so simply tell us. I’ll put together it immediately.”

Luna wished to suppose extra however couldn’t. The best way Rosemary seemed, it appeared as if she feared rejection.

She seemed like a small, cute animal longing for its proprietor’s consideration. It was unlikely for the girl Luna simply met to behave that approach.

Having dismissed such a foolish creativeness, Luna replied with a smile:

“Thanks in your kindness.”

With that, Rosemary’s face brightened immediately, urging Luna to comply with her to the reception room.

Confused by the scenario, lawyer Royer was about to comply with them when a hand all of a sudden reached out and stopped him.

“…Mr. William?”

It was William, the butler of the Marquis’ household, who had noticed the scenario from the beginning. With a really severe face, he suggested Royer:

“Don’t communicate carelessly.”

“…What?”

Royer was perplexed.

When Royer inquired with a baffled expression, William suggested once more, “Miss Rosemary will deal with it, so please stay quiet.”

“So, you’re saying that Miss Rosemary orchestrated this case? You knew every little thing?”

“Why ask the apparent?”

Though it was William who initially made the suggestion, it was Rosemary who pursued it.

William tsked, as if it was a silly query. Royer grew to become deeply troubled, questioning, ‘What ought to I do?’

Contemplating William’s conduct, and aiming to butter up Luna for a cushty retirement, Royer felt it greatest to talk earlier than being additional interrogated.

Noticing Royer’s hesitation, William firmly shook his head, “If you happen to don’t wish to endure for the subsequent ten years, keep nonetheless.”

It was recommendation that struck Royer to the core. From the particular time interval ‘ten years’ that the butler talked about, Royer might gauge the gravity of his warning.

In fact, William wasn’t purely involved for Royer. If Royer carelessly triggered bother, William would even be within the line of fireside.

William lastly caught Royer’s ankle.

“If you happen to’re actually involved, simply say you tripped in your approach to discuss.”

“…”

Whereas Royer felt it was pointless to go that far to keep away from the scenario, he remembered Rosemary’s persistence and talkativeness, then made up his thoughts.

“Then, if it ever involves that, please be my witness. Please affirm that I stumbled and suffered.”

At Royer’s severe request, William nodded barely. It was a small alliance for a peaceable on a regular basis life.
