The person he should be talking to was not herself. 

 

The scene where Ian, unable to control his desire to have the heroine, eventually imprisoned her was simultaneously resented and cheered by the readers who loved the novel.

 

Until that scene, Ian sometimes was unable to conceal his emotions, and sometimes let them flow, and now his lines were part of them.

 

Therefore, it should have been Cecilia, not Filina, who should have received that line.
Not only that.

 

It wasn’t a line that should have been uttered in a situation where Cecilia and Ian’s relationship hadn’t progressed at all, as it was now.

 

Filina felt an unknown anxiety in the story that was tangled up.

 

***

 

Filina, who returned home after seeing Ian off to the carriage, was immediately caught and questioned by Amy.

 

“Were you being nice to His Highness?”

 

“Yes, I did my best.”

 

Filina lied flatly and told her not to get her hopes up.

 

“His Highness will definitely hold an engagement ceremony with Lady Hayley.
I know for sure today that there’s no room for me to come between them.”

 

The story had a happy ending for the two main characters anyway.
No matter how wrong the story would be.
However, the fact would remain unchanged.

 

When Amy heard Filina’s words, she frowned and replied curtly.

 

“I don’t know what His Highness saw in Lady Haley that made him fall in love with her.
I don’t understand it at all.” 

 

Then Amy looked Filina up and down and said.

 

“No matter how much I look at it, I think you have the better face.”

 

What made Ian choose Cecilia was her ability to see the future, but people believed it was simply because he saw her and fell in love at first sight.

 

According to the original story, it was Ian Alvar, himself, who started such rumors.
He sometimes used rumors to cover up his own image.

 

“More than that, when did you apply for the Academy? Did you really pass?”

 

Filina nodded in response to Amy’s question.

 

“Yes, I did.
I have confirmed that my name is on the list of successful applicants.”

 

Amy slapped Filina on the arm at her words.

 

“What the hell did you do that for? What are you going to do when your father finds out!”

 

Filina replied with a very pleased expression on her face.

 

“Don’t worry, father agreed to it.”

 

Amy asked back with a look of disbelief on her face.

 

“He gave you permission?”

 

Filina said with a low voice.

 

“He didn’t just give me permission.
He even brought me potions that helped me to do well in the exam.”

 

“What?”

 

When Amy looked at Filina with rounded eyes, she replied with a light shrug.

 

“So you don’t have to be wary of father.”

 

“No….is that true? Why would Gabriel ………?”

 

Amy stared at Filina with a look of incomprehension.
Holding her gaze quietly, Filina looked somewhere else.

 

“Well, maybe there was a reason why father had to give me permission.”

 

At the end of Filina’s gaze, Ariel slowly made her way down the stairs.

 

The pure white dress that blended perfectly with her cream-colored hair matched Ariel’s pure and clean image very well.

 

Amy was still looking at Filina with a suspicious look on her face.
A face that still couldn’t believe the fact that Gabriel had helped her get into the academy.

 

Ariel, who was watching them from afar, paused there for a moment and quietly turned her gaze to face Filina, who was staring coldly at her.

 

The figure that had always flinched when Filina looked at her, the face that stared into Filina’s hostile eyes everywhere she went, was the only expressionless one.

 

Somehow, quiet air descended the large hall.

 

Ariel’s eyes moved sideways to stare at Amy, who was talking to Filina.

 

Her feet moved slowly, as if she was trying to get down the stairs.

 

Ariel’s tiny feet appeared under her long white dress.
There was something strange about the way she stopped in that state.

 

For a moment, Ariel’s eyes, which had been on Amy, seemed to look at Filina again.

 

And then she raised her lips strangely.

 

Her body tumbled straight down the stairs.

 

“Aah!”

 

Ariel’s scream rang out in the large mansion.
Amy, who was startled and turned around, saw Ariel lying at the bottom of the stairs and rushed over to her. 

 

“Oh my god! Ariel! What happened?”

 

Amy shouted and called the servants to take Ariel to her bedroom.

 

At that moment, Bruno, who had just returned home after an outing, looked around the chaotic hall for a moment and found Ariel, who collapsed under the stairs.

 

“Ariel!”

 

Bruno rushed over to her and hurriedly picked up Ariel.
He then began to make his way madly into the bedroom with Amy leading the way.

 

Ariel’s creamy hair fluttered in the air as Bruno carried her on his back.

 

Before long, Filina was the only one standing in the wide hall.
The servants and attendants who had been coming and going noisily had somehow left their seats to attend to Ariel.

 

Filina, who had stood there for some time, soon wandered off to her room.

 

A twisted smile crossed her lips.

 

She remembered the look in Ariel’s eyes as she quietly faced her and her gaze before falling down the stairs.
She had already done this many times in Filina’s past lives, and her act was still going on.

 

Her (Ariel) struggle to turn all the attention of the family to her was just a child’s craving for love.

 

That was the reason why Amy showed more interest in Ariel, a stepdaughter, than in her own daughter, Filina. 

 

Because whenever the family members tried to pay even the slightest attention to Filina, Ariel would do whatever it takes to turn their gaze to her.

 

She (Aeriel) used her innocent face as a weapon.
