Invitation Cards.
The items Marinda threw to Arthur were three invitation cards.
They were from Little Lisop and Dibwa, and the two nephews of Lord Bass.
The content was the same, expressing the hope to attend the ceremony of Marinda's inheritance of the title.
Almost the instant he saw these three cards, Arthur understood why Marinda had reacted the way she had—
This lady felt she had been 'set up.'
'Pride, making you feel a loss of freedom at that moment.
But this unfamiliarity makes you more hesitant!
You are unsure of my motives.
Even though it feels like a dignity infringement, you fear it might affect our collaboration, so...
you test me this way, and it even disgusts me, right?'
Arthur finally understood the situation and his lips curved into a smile.
"You do not think this was my arrangement, do you?" he asked with a teasing smile, looking at Marinda.
"Not you?
Then who else could it have been?"
Marinda was incredulous.
