Five days later...

Aries's mood for the past five days continuously went downhill. Her somber mood had even spread across the entire Vandran Estate to the point there seemed to be invisible dark clouds over the mansion's roof. 

Everyone — the marshalls included — had been walking on thin ice, afraid they would do or say something that could worsen Aries's mood. Thus, the only person who could exchange words with Aries at the moment was Gustav.

"How dare they…" Aries's voice shook, clutching the table of the vanity mirror tightly. The servants shuddered and flinched, keeping their silence. Their eyes fell on Aries's hand and thought if the lady could break the table with brute force, she would've done it already. 

"... leave me all alone in here?" she breathed out and laughed in ridicule, getting angrier every passing day.
