𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟗: 𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐭
The Marchioness and Florenci, with Annie and Lloyd, made a trip to the museum.
It seemed they had hired a few extra maids, assuming there wouldn’t be enough hands.
Thanks to that, I gained a little bit of spare time.
ㅤ
It’s my first time attending a soirée in Binemöer.
There may be differences in manners and such from Vulcano.
Feeling anxious, I sent a letter of consultation to Rachael.
In response, she paid me a quick visit.
ㅤ
The conservatory is in full bloom with almond flowers.
Since I had permission from the Marchioness to use it freely, I had tea with Rachael.
ㅤ
Rachael brings Ga-chan a souvenir of sugar cubes scented with violets.
Ga-chan raised the sugar cubes high and conveyed gratitude to Rachael.
[Nya!]
ㅤ
Of course, Rachael and I were healed by the adorable Ga-chan.
ㅤ
“I was surprised, my grandmother asked you to attend the queen’s birthday party on her behalf.”
“Yes, I was also surprised by the sudden request.”
“My grandmother seems to like Lara-san very much.”
ㅤ
Rachael put her hand on her chest, muttered “thank goodness,” and showed relief.
ㅤ
“After all, my grandmother and Lara-san got along well. I can rest assured of leaving you as her proxy.”
“About that, there are a few things that I am anxious about. . . . . .”
ㅤ
The most concerning thing is the dress. I brought a few from Vulcano to wear for the soirée, but they might be a bit plain to wear as Marchioness’s representative.
And there’s the fashion in Binemöer. I can’t stand out negatively by wearing a Vulcano dress.
ㅤ
“For the dress, I’ll arrange to have a few sent from a designer I know. I’ll arrange for a maid on the day, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
“Can I really rely on you that much?”
“Of course. The fact that my grandmother has gotten better is thanks to Lara-san, and no amount of gratitude would suffice.”
ㅤ
It feels bad to have her taken care of so much, but I can’t attend the queen’s birthday party looking shabby.
I’ll take her up on her offer this time.
ㅤ
“Do you have to attend with someone on the day?”
“No.”
“In that case, let’s go together.”
“But, don’t you have a fiancé?”
“Yes, but I can’t leave Lara-san alone in the den called the social world.”
ㅤ
Usually, you must attend a soirée with a partner.
Although it’s permissible to attend with acquaintances, it’s generally better to go as a man and woman.
ㅤ
“Should I introduce you to Lyle-oniisama?”
“Lyle-san, the cousin who is the next head of the family—?”
ㅤ
I remember hearing about the young man, Irma’s brother, before.
ㅤ
“I remember hearing that he is thirty, doesn’t he have a fiancée?”
“They broke off recently. Lyle-oniisama is strict with himself and others, and seems to demand proper behavior from his partner.”
“Oh, I see. . . . . .”
ㅤ
If a lady born and raised in Binemöer is daunted by him, then I won’t stand a chance.
Rachael must have noticed that too. She apologized in an awkward manner.
ㅤ
“I’m sorry. He’s not someone I can introduce as a partner.”
ㅤ
The current Marquis is irresponsible and carefree, while Lyle is said to be too strict.
ㅤ
“I think if we add a little bit of our grandfather’s essence to Lyle-oniisama, he’ll become a well-balanced Marquis.”
“It’s quite a difficult problem, isn’t it?”
ㅤ
There are no perfect people in this world.
Perhaps it’s because of our flaws that people support each other and live.
ㅤ
“What about Lord Montyver? I believe he is also single.”
“As for him. . . . . .well. . . . . .”
ㅤ
I honestly confessed that our dispositions did not match.
ㅤ
“Really? I also find him somewhat off-putting. He feels artificial to me.”
“Artificial, you say?”
“Yes. It feels as if he is obscuring everything with his brightness, and his true feelings cannot be seen.”
ㅤ
Indeed, he does give the impression of living cheerfully to fit the mood of the moment.
ㅤ
“It’s not exactly that he’s deceitful, but he does seem to carry darkness in the depths of his eyes.”
“I totally get it!”
ㅤ
I wouldn’t mind being acquainted with Lord Montyver if it were just a momentary relationship.
But when dealing with someone with whom I must associate for a long time, I could not afford to owe him a great debt.
ㅤ
“If my son were older, he could have participated with us.”
“A six-year-old can’t do that.”
ㅤ
As we were discussing this, we were called.
ㅤ
“What’s impossible?”
ㅤ
The person who was there when we turned around was Lord Montyver, who we had been talking about just moments ago.
