Aries smiled, watching Violet help the workers place the furniture. She looked around, shoving her hand inside her suit. Taking out the pocket watch, the side of her lips curled up. 

"My lady, I'll step out for a while," Aries called to get Violet's attention. Seeing that the latter hurriedly dropped the cloth she was holding, Aries raised a hand. "You don't have to send me off."

"But my lad — my lord."

"It's fine. Climaco is outside and will escort you back to the estate." Aries smiled, waving. "I'll see you around."

Violet perked up, but Aries already sauntered off without looking back. A shallow breath slipped past her lips, but recalling how Aries looked like a young man, she felt slightly at ease. This world was safer for men, after all. 

"Lady Aries is truly charming in her outfit," she mumbled, smiling. "And very charismatic too. I never thought she could pull off such a disguise flawlessly."
