Staring at Mother for a few seconds, I tilted my head as I asked "Is something wrong? Are they too spicy? Too cheesy?"

She was staring at me for another few moments, remaining silent, her blue eyes alternating between Anput and I before she hesitantly asked "Did... did you mark her, Miss Anput?"

Freezing, Anput choked on the pierogi she was eating, her cheeks darkening as everyone turned to stare at her.

The Marquess was grinning widely, her eyes holding a knowing gleam as she glanced at Jahi, while the Countess had pursed lips.

Sighing, I nodded to Mother, making her blush slightly at how readily I admitted to it.

"Mother, I am... well, I guess the easiest way to say it is that we're ALL together..."

That made the Countess frown for a moment, her eyes moving over each of us before she turned towards the Marquess, only to shake her head a moment later.
