˜They're nice people.'

Dark blue hair and dark gray eyes like the night sea.

When was the last time she felt such a warm gaze? It was so sweet that she wanted to melt into it.

Leticia smiled and entered the mansion. It was the first time in a long time that her footsteps were not heavy, which made her feel even more at ease.

But as soon as she opened the door and saw Marquis Leroy standing there waiting for her, she tensed up.

"Where have you been?"

"Oh, that's.........."

The moment their eyes met, Leticia involuntarily averted her gaze. That made Marquis Leroy even angrier.

"What in the world were you doing outside?!"

"What?"

At the terrifying shouting, Leticia raised her head, and her shoulders trembled.

Marquis Leroy, full of anger, stared fiercely at Leticia.

"I'm sure I warned you, didn't I?"

"Father ....... ...."

"Don't mess with that ill-fated Achilles family!"

"..."

Leticia kept silent, deliberately suppressed her anger. But the Marquis already knew who Leticia had been seeing.

"Last warning, Leticia Leroy."

"..."

"...If I hear one more time that you hang out with that family again, be prepared to be thrown out."

When he finished, Marquis Leroy turned around with a huff.

Leticia, who was staring blankly at the Marquis who was walking away, gave a shallow sigh.

"Ah......"

They were good people.

It was upsetting that she was not allowed to hang out with people who were so sweet and friendly that she just knew them.

˜It's all nonsense to say that misfortune is contagious.'

Leticia thought as she walked down the empty hallway.

When she was about to enter her room with a heavy heart, she suddenly stopped, but there was someone already in the room.

"What's going on?"

The moment Leticia saw Diana sitting comfortably as if it was her room, she couldn't help but laugh. But Diana was unconcerned, drinking her tea.

"It's not like I can't come here."

"Do you have something to say?"

"Of course I do."

Setting her cup down with a clatter, Diana slowly rose from her seat and approached Leticia.

"You've been getting on my nerves lately."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't pretend like you don't know."

"You don't mean...."

There were thoughts passing through her head, but Leticia hoped it was something different.

"You're not talking about the Achilles, are you?"

"Of course I am!"

"Diana!"

"What are you going to do with people who have no money, no luck, and can't do a single thing?"

"..."

"Don't talk about them like that."

"Then stop hanging out with them!"

Diana raised her voice and continued to shout again.

"Rumors already spread all over the place. The first daughter of the renowned Marquis Leroy, Leticia Leroy, hangs out with the famous Achilles."

"What?"

Leticia's face became hardened, but Diana was not done talking.

"Do you know how much our family's reputation has been ruined because of you alone?"

"We only hang out together."
