“Wait, wait a second…!”

And, as expected, Berry hurriedly reached out. The reason was clear because it wasn’t Annie who had to drink the tea. Aria’s eyes narrowed even more as she watched her.

“No!”

But it was already late. Because Annie drank some tea. Berry’s hand, which stretched out late, hit Annie’s teacup, and it caused the tea to pour into Annie’s clothes.

“… what did you do?”

Annie pressed Berry with a voice full of anger with the sound of the teacup breaking. Contrary to expectations, she looked fine.

“An, Annie…!”

Berry called Annie’s name after she had lost her plan. Her reaction to a cup of tea was so intense…

‘No way, is it poison?’

Aria was sorry to Annie for drinking tea on her behalf, but if she didn’t have any doubt, it would have been herself.

‘It’s okay. I can turn back time with the hourglass. Then Annie can come back to the way she was. It’s a lot better than to drink and die that way’

Still, nervous about what was yet to be predicted, Aria backed away from Annie to the drawer of the hourglass. Annie was still angry at Berry, unaware of the situation she was in.

“What are you doing without wiping it out?”

“Are, are you all right…?”

“When did I say you were allowed to talk like that?”

“An, Annie…!”

“You have to be really punished…! Ugh!”

As if the circumstances were unknown, Annie, who threw herself into the heat of the far-fetched detail, suddenly opened her eyes wide and could not keep up with what she was saying. Something seemed to have worked.

“… Annie?”

“…!”

Then she suddenly fell down on the table, who had just been trying to scold Berry. It caused several dishes on the table to fall to the floor and make a loud noise. It looked strange.

Aria and Berry stared at the fallen Annie, stiff as if they were stone. Soon Berry sank on the floor, trembling all over.

“You…! What the hell did you put in the tea?”

As Aria grilled her, Berry, who was more and more exhausted by Aria’s voice, said to herself and trembled,

“I, I didn’t mean to… Uh, what should I do? …I don’t think Annie can drink…”

“What the hell did you put in there?”

“What, what am I going to do…?”

Aria picked up Berry’s head who was muttering as if she had lost her mind. She tried to catch her eye, but her eyes were desolate as if she had already gone mad. If she was so terrified of failure, what she had put in the teas must be a potent poison for an instant kill.

Aria clicked her tongue and took the hourglass out of the box and turned it back, saying, “There’s no way we can change our personality.” If she lost even a second, it could have irreparable consequences.

“So what are you doing without pouring the tea?”

In an instant, the view changed and Annie appeared in good shape. Seeing that she was angry at Berry for the tea, she didn’t seem to have drunk it yet. Fortunately, she was not too late, but Annie questioned when she saw Aria standing at the table by the drawer.

“Ugh? Miss, when did you get up from your seat? When did you take out the hourglass? You have to get me to do it.”

‘If I had asked you to do it, would you have done it?’

Aria, who stared at the previously dead Annie for a moment, sat in her place without an answer.

“Are you sick?”

“… no.”

‘Who cares about who.’ Annie, who never dreamed of what had happened to her, was worried about Aria. Aria, with a sour smile on her face, slowly picked up the teacup. Berry’s eyes glowed horribly again as she watched it.

‘Who in the world is a wicked woman and who is the saint? Is there ever a wicked woman in the world who is threatened by a saint?’ Aria took the cup of tea with her hand to her mouth and glanced over Berry’s face.

Berry looked as if she should hurry up and drink the tea. ‘You just cried in terror.’ Her eyes glowed with joy as it tried to reach its right destination.

Thinking it would be right to hang her on the wall after she cut off her neck, she put her lips on the glass. And as she pretended to take a sip and put the glass down again, Berry, with an uncontrollably bright face, was seen.

‘As planned, I’d better kill that b*tch.’

Aria, who had vowed again, said, pointing her head,

“Berry… the tea tastes weird, but what the hell did you put in it…?”

Flopped! Annie screamed in tears at Aria falling on the table, unable to finish her speech, and Berry hurried away.

“Miss!”

Since then, other servants and maids who heard her scream came into the room, and several others who found the fallen Aria again.

“Oh, my God…! Miss Aria!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Call a doctor!”

“What should we do…”

It was very astute to hear them stamping their feet and raising their voice without even touching Aria, but sometimes Aria felt strange to hear a crying voice. The shock was felt completely, although it was not visible from the fall.

In the past, even though she had been beaten all over her body, she had been full of ridicule and disgust. She heard a row of people coming into the room. The situation began to be much bigger and more serious than she thought because of all the guests from outside.

“Aria!”

The Countess, who screamed, hugged Aria’s slender body. Aria had been deflating her whole body, and she was drooping like a dead woman. This was followed by a small scream,

“What are you looking at? Move her to bed fast!”

Unsurprisingly, the Count’s urgent voice was heard. The servants and maids, who had so far failed to act, moved in perfect order and laid Aria’s body on the bed.

“Do we have a doctor?”

“Someone went to call him! He’ll be here soon!”

“My God… What the hell is going on?!”

The Countess held Aria’s hand in tears. She felt a warm body temperature because she wasn’t really poisoned. The Countess seemed to be relieved and again raised her voice, “Who is responsible for this?”

“Berry, it’s Berry!”

It was Annie who answered her. She had a clear view of the situation, so she didn’t hesitate to point the finger at Berry.

“Miss Aria drank the tea which Berry brought out and she fell down! That tea!”

As expected, Annie was a brilliant and useful child. Aria put the teacup on the table on purpose and fell down, but now that she understood her intention, she felt like she was going to laugh. Annie pointed to the teacup that was still on the table, and the Count ordered his servants to hurry up and pack it in.

“Find Berry! Why isn’t the doctor coming yet?!”

As she closed her eyes in the middle of the uproar, she felt like she was falling asleep. It was worth it because she used the hourglass. She thought she could go on for another hour or two, but she had better sleep here because she would be in trouble if a doctor came to see her. She thought it was very fortunate to have the hourglass and was relieved, and fell into a deep sleep.

“It’s hard to say she was poisoned, even if I check it again. Maybe it’s a small amount, and the symptoms are insignificant, so it’s just a little bit of luck.”

Aria, who woke up after a full day’s sleep, gave a look of joy at the doctor’s remarks examining her. But the Countess, who shared the diagnosis with her, did not.

“But why did she sleep for so long?”

“I think it’s a small amount, but I think it’s because she was in the middle of detoxification.”

“So you’re saying she’s all right now?”

“I’m afraid so, but…”

Everyone’s worried eyes fell on Aria. She replied with a rather feeble smile, as she had not yet intended to pretend to be fine,

“… I think it’s really good. I don’t have the strength yet, but… I’m a little sleepy. I don’t have energy.”

“My God…”

The Countess blushed at the sad sight. At the words of Aria’s awakening, the face of the Count who rushed to the scene was also deeply troubled. He seemed to recall last night that she did not even move. Aria pointed her head and said, “I’m not feeling well yet. And I have a little bit of a headache… is this a way to be fine?”

A little disheveled hair accentuated her sickness. The doctor replied with a very awkward face because she had no other symptoms than looking tired.
