«Why didn't you say you were Lady Ashford right away?»
The unexpected question of the dark-haired guy at first put me at a dead end.
«I thought we'd never meet again, and it wasn't that important…
In fact, I never imagined that we would meet again under similar circumstances. I considered meeting this guy an episodic case, and I wasn't even going to introduce myself to him.
Actually, neither did he to me, because I still didn't know his name.
— I see. It looks like you're an even more unusual girl than I thought.
— Eh? What do you mean?
— You are from a very influential family, — the young man said, — But despite this, you were not afraid to stand up for someone, and even risk your life saving me on the lake… No other aristocrat would do that.
I perfectly understood what he meant, because my actions from the outside really looked a little strange and even reckless.
