“Lady! Leave it! I’ll open it!”

“No.”

Ariadne asked with a slight frown.

“Do I need to go up a size?”

She had been trying to eat more than before. However, Sancha gave Ariadne a disbelieving look.

“You eat as much as a baby bird, why would you need to go up a size!”

“I eat more than before…”

“It’s fifty steps forward and fifty steps back.”

Ariadne pouted at Sancha’s assertion. She had tried.

Would Alfonso acknowledge my effort?

Because he’s affectionate, he would definitely say that he understood the various struggles she had gone through to increase her food intake. He would say she had worked hard, done well.

But what if Alfonso still found it lacking? If so, would he, like before, meet her lips with his and feed her…

Thinking up to here, Ariadne’s face turned beet red, and she fanned her face with her hand fan.

These days, no matter what Ariadne did or thought about, her train of thought always ended with Alfonso. She had no choice but to admit it.

She had fallen in love.

“Under the guidance of Saint Erasmus, our earthly King, Leo III, and the Carlo royal family have safely returned home. This is thanks to our continuous prayers…”

The grand return mass was held with Cardinal de Mare’s homily. The Carlo royal family and court nobles, who had been down in Taranto for the winter, filled the San Ercole Grand Cathedral, enjoying the beautiful spring weather of San Carlo, dressed as splendidly as spring flowers.

Today was a day primarily for observing others and flaunting one’s own vigor, though it was masked by the form of mass.

The person who utilized this opportunity the best was none other than Isabella de Mare. Those who found Isabella in the mass couldn’t help but murmur.

“Look at Isabella de Mare! Her demeanor has completely changed.”

“Has she come to her senses?”

“No way. Can one’s nature ever change?”

“Still, she’s said to have been mourning her mother recently. She’s still young, so if the shock was severe, she could very well change.”

Isabella had always favored brightly colored dresses. She was the acknowledged fashion leader of San Carlo, creating and changing into dresses of various pastel shades made from light and thin materials every day.

But today, Isabella was dressed in a thin black silk that covered her entire body. Her skirt had transformed from the flashy and wide hoopstyle she preferred, to a more modest and humble style with a narrow width and only the waistline accentuated.

The neckline, which had been deeply cut almost to the point of embarrassment, was completely covered by a pure white veil. With a mantilla covering her head, she looked as devout and sincere as could be.

“Oh, how pitiful.”

“But her natural beauty does not go anywhere. Even in mourning clothes and dressed so simply, she still stands out!”

“Isn’t she prettier now?”

“Before, she was definitely a bit too much.”

In fact, Isabella now resembled more closely the typical beauty that San Carlo admired. San Carlo traditionally did not consider those who were overly adorned as beautiful.

As she quietly gave off a pitiful air, even those who had originally thought ill of her softened their dislike due to pity, and those who had not favored the previous Isabella now cast new glances at her.

Receiving sympathetic looks, Isabella quietly bit her lips under the veil.

‘I have to lay low for a while.’

Isabella, who had planned to spread the rumor in the San Carlo social circle that ‘the mistress of Duke Campa is actually Countess Bartolini’ as soon as she recovered, had to change her strategy after suffering the loss of her mother.

The public sentiment was sympathetic for the time being. There was no need to purposely recall the past scandal at this point.

‘I can recover at any time. The real mistress has to hear the mistress rumors.’

She lowered her head even deeper, pretending not to care about her surroundings.

The one who was harmed by Isabella’s change in strategy was poor Ariadne. Ariadne had no intention of wearing mourning clothes for her after the funeral of ‘Mother’, if it could be said that she was mourning Arabela.

Lucrezia was the lover of the cardinal, not his legal wife. No matter how much she clung to the titles of ‘Mother’ or ‘Wife’ at home, or how people held her up as if she was the legal wife, it did not change the fact.

Cardinal de Mare and Lucrezia de Rossi were imitating a family, not a legal family. If they were not a legal family, there was no need to wear mourning clothes.

Ariadne’s attitude was rational. It was not just her unilateral decision. Cardinal de Mare did not show any signs of mourning, and even Ippolito appeared today wearing a noble’s party dress adorned with purple embroidery.

Not openly mourning for Lucrezia, that was the overall atmosphere of the entire de Mare mansion.

But this morning, Isabella beat her to the punch. She was a pitiful and innocent lady in mourning, having lost her mother, dressed in black.

The moment Ariadne, who had stepped into the entrance wearing a flamboyant rosecolored silk dress, saw Isabella, she realized.

If she goes out like this, she will be directly compared with Isabella and will have to hear stories about how she has no filial piety, how she’s a legitimate child, and how it can’t be helped that she’s a bastard.

In the end, Ariadne had to force herself to go upstairs, change into a modest black dress, and come out. The rose dress, chosen in anticipation of meeting Alfonso again, had to go back into the wardrobe.

Fortunately, San Carlo had limited the period of wearing mourning clothes to less than one month by royal decree. When a royal family member died, all the people had to wear mourning clothes, but San Carlo was a city that led the fashion of the entire central continent.

The policy was adopted because when the sale of textiles was limited to black for several years, the damage to the fashion industry, which accounted for a large portion of the economy, was severe.

‘I can wear a colored dress again around the time of the royal ball.’

She casually counted the dates and pulled down the thick netting that covered her face. The clothes weren’t important. Ariadne’s thoughts had already drifted to a letter she had received from Alfonso a few days earlier.

“To my beloved Ari,”

It was incredibly joyous to finally return to San Carlo. My daily life in Taranto, objectively speaking, was dull even on spectacular days and seemed monotonous. Every step towards you felt light and delightful.

Upon my return, the first place I would be able to meet you would be at the grand Mass of return, and after that, there are the royal ball and the ‘Festival of Spring’. I will consider where and when we can naturally meet. Once I return to San Carlo, the time it takes for our letters to exchange will significantly decrease. I’m extremely excited! ……(the rest is omitted).

Alfonso and Ariadne agreed not to acknowledge each other at the grand Mass. Lariesa was still holding out in San Carlo.

In addition, Queen Marguerite, who still did not agree with her son’s opinion, and Isabella, who was obviously burning with jealousy, would both be keeping a vigilant watch over Ariadne.

Their agreement was to date quietly, out of the public eye, and in secret.

With a leisurely pace, Ariadne walked gracefully through the main gate of the San Ercole Cathedral and entered.
