[Bonus chapter]Preparation

Aries smiled awkwardly at the person across the table. After her meal with Dexter, introducing her to Roman for formality, Aries had to meet Violet in the garden of the House Vandran for the final preparation before they open their business. However, Violet seemed a little uncomfortable and curious, seeing that Roman was standing just right outside the pergola.

"I didn't know until this morning." Aries broke the silence with a sigh. "Apparently, His Majesty had sent someone he could trust instead of multiple people following me."

"Ahh…" Violet laughed awkwardly. 

"Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"What? No, not at all, my lady." Violet shook her head profusely while waving both her hands. "I'm just a little… surprised. I didn't see it coming."

Aries pressed her lips into a thin line. "I understand. Many things had occurred, and the results of them can be quite surprising since no one expected it would turn out this way."
