Before the Banquet {R-18}
Josephine arrives home in the early evening with Aria, Margaret, and Eve. The ladies' group goes straight to the inner patio and finds Arthur drinking wine with Oliver and his cousins animatedly.
"Oh my~" Aria smiles upon seeing him having fun.

Aria just smiles at the cunning old lady; Arthur notices their arrival and approaches them with an excited smile. "You took so long. Oliver really said that women could spend days choosing clothes…"
"And what do you know about women?!" Aria pinches Arthur's cheek. "Men cannot complain when women take long getting ready to look beautiful for them."
"Oi, oi," Arthur complains, but even being pinched by Aria is pleasurable. "Got it, I got it, fine??"
