Aster sat alone in the pavilion in palace garden. His warm tea quickly warmed the cold winter as he followed the instruction from Rosalie. This morning, Rosalie's maid delivered the food with a note under the soup bowl.
-Cousin, today Lady Merse from House of Thana will be attending Mother Empress' invitation. It wont be long and she will roam around the palace as usual. Mother Empress will leave soon because of the problem between Gamasiel and Claudia. Stay in the palace garden and you will meet Lady Merse. Make a good impression with her, but try to look reluctant when she touched you. But don't be outright rejecting her. Make yourself desirable.
Rosalie-
Aster was unsure about how to be desirable, so he just wore his regular apparel, just with few buttons opened in his chest, revealing his smooth milky skin. This was what those girls did when they try to seduce him in grand duchy, maybe this could work.
