11.

10 AM, at 【Aisa Salon】 located in the capital city.

The Willow Love Fabrication Team was waiting in their respective positions, disguised.

But why did they choose a tea salon as the location?

Siena had initially judged this place to be inappropriate for a first meeting.

Since it was a place Violet always visited with her friends.

But thinking about it from a different angle, there was no place more suitable than this.

‘Because I need to use her friends.’

Dalia Gerzhenston, and Flora Mayen.

Violet’s best friends had a talent for ‘gushing.’

“Oh my, a dress from Valerie Atelier. I’m so excited!”

“The Prince will surely fall for you. I guarantee it.”

“At this ball, Violet, you will definitely steal The Prince’s heart!”

They were what you’d call ‘reaction masters.’

People who would shower Violet with applause no matter what she did, going ‘Oh my, oh my! What’s this all about!’

Along with their generous reactions, they had no jealousy or envy.

In other words, they were good friends who purely supported Violet.

‘If they witness Violet and Johan’s first meeting, they’ll make a fuss for 28,774 hours.’

Yes, Siena’s goal was ‘indoctrination education.’

‘Even if Violet has no interest in Johan, if they keep mentioning Johan this and Johan that beside her, she’ll gradually start paying attention.’

She could only hope that things would go according to plan without any complications.

Two days ago, Siena had reached an agreement (written as agreement, read as bribery) with ‘Eisa Monton,’ the salon’s owner.

And today, the day of operation execution, she was sitting at a corner table in the salon with Lian.

She glanced sideways at Lian sitting next to her.

‘The staff members each have their assigned tasks, so I should give Lian something to do too, but…’

…no matter how I look at it, this guy doesn’t seem like he’d do what he’s told properly.

It was natural to think that way.

‘What can I expect from someone who just sits on the sofa chatting all day.’

So she decided to take Lian along and act as a married couple once again.

Anyway, her role was to be Citizen #1 sitting at a table drinking tea.

Adding one husband role beside her wouldn’t change anything.

“Center Director.”

In the midst of this, a voice mixed with laughter was heard.

Siena automatically responded reflexively.

“Be quiet.”

“You know, I never thought the Center Director would ask me to remarry her.”

She was about to snap ‘Be quiet’ once more but stopped short.

“…Remarry?”

“Yeah. We got married last time and it ended after just one day.”

“…”

“Since we got married again this time, it’s a remarriage.”

Lian held up two fingers and grinned.

Then he leaned his cheek against the back of his hand and asked.

“How does it feel to marry me again?”

Adding a wink at the end of the sentence.

‘Is he crazy…’

By that logic, all the children in this world would have earned the title of divorcee before becoming adults.

Siena, suppressing a sigh, replied.

“Please don’t say anything and just stay quiet. Even with your face covered, you stand out because of your build.”

“…”

“If Violet finds out because of this, it’ll all be your fault.”

“All my fault…”

Lian puffed out his cheeks.

“I’m hurt. Center Director, you actually like talking with me but you always act like this.”

Now he was even adding #aegyo.

‘There are no more disgusting keywords left to attach.’

Siena’s expression soured like when she dealt with Chase.

Ding.

Suddenly, a bell rang from the door.

A man wearing a pressed-down hat with a mustache stuck to his philtrum entered the salon.

It was Finn, disguised as an old man.

He muttered as he passed by the table where Siena and Lian were sitting.

“Violet Bringer and her friends will arrive within 2 minutes.”

Siena’s eyes widened.

She quickly unfolded the newspaper she had placed on the table.

“Hold this and cover your face.”

She pressed the newspaper into Lian’s hands and crouched down as much as possible.

Then she began watching the salon entrance with hawk-like eyes.

Unintentionally, she was pressed right up against Lian.

Lian, who had been watching her, spoke up.

“Center Director.”

“Stop calling me that. Now Violet is about to…”

“Don’t do that.”

Suddenly, the voice that resonated from his large chest became low.

At the same time, a thick palm wrapped around Siena’s shoulder.

‘Huh…?’

Before Siena could say anything, Lian embraced her and spread out the newspaper.

His breath touched her earlobe.

“This way is more certain, isn’t it?”

Only then did she realize.

‘Ah… Being held like this would definitely provide better cover.’

Siena answered in a daze.

“That…, that’s true.”

“Right?”

Lian’s eyes narrowed into thin crescents.

The scent of his cologne tickled her nose.

‘Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve been conscious of Lian’s scent.’

Originally, Siena didn’t like strong and artificial body odors.

But Lian was different.

It was like a fresh, clean scent mixed with something masculine.

‘Well…, his scent isn’t bad either.’

Also, the embrace that wrapped around her was large and warm.

Suddenly, his earlier words echoed in her head.

“This way is more certain, isn’t it?”

A serious tone completely different from his usual drunken butter boy persona.

Siena, who had been rolling her eyes, slowly lifted her gaze.

Then her eyes met with Lian’s, who had been watching her.

Half-closed eyes and the sinister red eyes within them.

Siena unconsciously swallowed.

‘…Something feels ominous.’

I can’t remember clearly, but I feel like I’ve experienced this feeling before.

‘Though I don’t know when that was.’

Suddenly, I could feel my heart pounding in my chest.

I held my breath for no reason.

‘No, what am I thinking right now.’

I had to admit (though I didn’t want to) that I was fluttered by Lian’s actions just now.

But who is this guy?

‘He’s just a mindless flirt, exactly like Chase.’

I was a fool for getting excited over this man who has no sincerity whatsoever.

‘Get it together. Don’t be fooled by his face.’

Siena calmed her heart and agreed.

“Yes, at this rate, Violet won’t discover me.”

“Center Director, you know what?”

Once again, Lian suddenly approached.

A moment later, a low voice settled by my ear.

“We can do this because we’re remarried.”

“….”

“See, it was good that we got married, right? Don’t you think so too, Center Director?”

Siena, who had been slightly tense, made her eyes go flat.

‘Of course….’

Lian had long since returned to being a smooth talker, as if his momentary appearance had been an illusion.

At that moment, ding.

The salon door opened, and a hint of wind slipped in.

“…I’m telling you it’s true!”

“Dalia, really. That can’t be right.”

The interior immediately became noisy.

‘It’s Violet and her friends.’

Siena quickly stole a glance at the salon owner.

Eisa Monton smiled with her eyes and greeted Violet’s group.

“Welcome, ladies! You’ve visited us again today.”

She guided Violet and her friends to the spot she had arranged with Siena.

‘It’s connected to the entrance corridor and in a position where I can see very well from where I’m sitting.’

As Violet and her friends approached, Siena hid in Lian’s embrace again.

Watching her already small frame become even tinier in his arms, Lian raised an eyebrow.

‘She’s squirming like a squirrel.’

Though Siena had no idea he was thinking this.

Violet and her friends ordered tea and quickly became absorbed in chatting.

“Violet’s appearance in that dress yesterday was so perfect I can’t even put it into words!”

“I wanted to see it too, but I had to have plans yesterday of all days….”

“Don’t be disappointed, Flora. You can come visit anytime.”

“Really?”

“Anyway, I’m so excited for the ball. Violet in that dress is bound to capture The Prince’s heart.”

They were talking about The Prince again.

‘To think they talk about Castillian so constantly like this.’

At this rate, the entire nation would know that Violet likes Castillian.

Siena clenched her fist.

“I can’t let that happen….”

I will definitely make today’s first meeting a success.

‘I’ll turn Violet’s heart away from The Prince and make our Johan the Empire’s greatest heartthrob.’

Just then, Isadora, who was playing the role of a part-timer washing teacups, became busy.

She whispered something to Eisa, then looked at Siena.

Then, as if resolved, she snorted with a ‘hmph.’

Siena had a premonition.

‘…Ah, the time has come to use that.’

The Willow Counseling Center’s exclusive ‘secret weapon.’
