"Will Miss Camell have tea??" Cyness smiled at Camell.
Ughhhh! Crazy even he offers me tea together, he wants to be nice in front of the waiters and ladies??
"No need, my head is fine and I don't like headaches." Camell smiled back to make Cyness' face shrivel.
It's actually nice to have a fight with Miss Cyness, but the duke's master will definitely defend her and come with Miss Cyness. Destroyed my image in front of this many maids. They so have a spectacle well next time I will definitely reply...
"I want to have tea with you, but I can't." Lloyd answered Cyness. "I have an important meeting." Said the man flat as usual. "Thank you for worrying about me."
Camell looked at Lloyd in disbelief.
"Then I won't stand in the way of the busy duke master. Thank you for appreciating my offer." Cyness smiled with a forced smile.
Lloyd just nodded and walked back with Camell holding the woman, Camell still surprised to follow Lloyd's footsteps and see Cyness's pouting face.
"Thank you for driving me, mister duke." Camell bowed formally when they had already arrived at the door of her room.
Lloyd nodded and said goodbye, "I'll go first."
When Camell came into the room she was able to breathe with relief, "Haaahhhh crazy yah!"
"Did you see Miss Bourbon's face???" Maya starts the gossip first time.
Irene just smiled faintly. "She just looks disappointed."
"Loved?? With such a scary face?? This must have been due to a lot of rumors that have been spread because of the incident at the Chandellum family party." Maya siding.
Camell and Irene smilingly shook her head looking at Maya. "This position does attract a lot of people and is vulnerable to gossip well." Camell straightened her hair. "I'm not happy to see Miss Cyness' disappointed face, but I'll answer her question well."
"I also didn't expect Miss Bourbon to be like that." Maya chimed again. "Well even though he's always arbitrary here considering the status of marquis Antonio.."
"That's it." Irene interrupted, "Don't make Miss Camell worry even more, you better prepare a bath."
"Ah sorry I didn't mean.." Maya is not feeling well.
"It's okay.." Camell smiled, "Please prepare the bath water well Maya, I want to rest."
"Yes!" Maya immediately rushed over.
After Maya's death, Irene just fell silent staring at Camell making the woman smile confused. "What's wrong??"
"So you chose the western region for tourist purposes?" Irene made sure once again.
"I spontaneously did that." Camell scratched her non-itchy head.
"Spontaneous??"
"What is your reason for appointing the crystal palace as my destination??" Camell looked at Irene seriously.
"The Crystal Palace was a gift given by the queen of many generations to the mistress Esther, the former duchess. Many women wanted to go there to remember the beauty of the palace, and the crystal palace was also symbolized as the duchess' palace."
Camell held her chin as if thinking, "Miss Cyness will definitely do any way to be able to go to the Crystal Palace well, but I have no regrets anyway. I chose the place I wanted to visit. After all it was just a tour, I was more worried about the next event. La Hardin's competition."
"That's a wise thought." Irene looked at Camell. "Competition is the best way to get support from various factions. The support of the nobles is very important, usually the nobles will be silent and wait and then support the duchess candidates who have a high chance of winning."
Irene is clearly not aware of Ethan's plan to keep Camell as duchess even without the support of the nobility. But for Irene to still embrace as much support as possible it is important to have a strong position.
Camell just silently heard Irene say, "Then, my position is not too good.."
Irene grinned at Camell as they knew that Camell was just a newcomer that Ethan had brought without the support of nobles in contrast to Cyness who already had many allies.

A few days of time passed by, Camell was also increasingly diligent in taking various learning classes. Until one afternoon while he was enjoying tea by himself, Irene came and told him that Cailaden wanted to meet.
"Huh??" Camell was surprised, "Kok she didn't say tell me first?? He said what business??"
"No miss." Irene was silent for a moment. "Didn't miss want to meet with Mr Sterna?? I'll deliver on..."
"It's okay, I'm ready. Please ask Maya to prepare the next room with a snack and tea."
After preparing Camell to meet Cailaden. "Mr Cai??"
"I'm sorry Miss Camellia came without telling you first." Cai saluted Camell.
"It's okay, please sit down. Tea will be served soon." Camell sat in the chair.
Let's see what he wants to talk about with a guilty face like that...
Maya quickly served the tea, after which she and Irene stood aside on standby. But the atmosphere of the room became quiet, and Cailaden was still silent.
This is the atmosphere because someone is listening to be awkward.
"You rest, you can leave us both." Camell smiled at Maya and Irene.
After the two of them, Cailaden spoke. "That day I humiliated Miss Camell." The man looked down inside.
I thought he wanted to apologize if I thought it made me upset too. He was silent when Cynes cornered me.
"If I may ask why did Mr Cai do that??"
"I'm..." Cai just fell silent. "I'm sorry."
He won't tell me why?? Suddenly I remembered someone who treated me unkindly without even mentioning the reason! Camell screeched in light of Lloyd.
Aah already if seen see also even though he did not mention the reason, but he looks sincere. I guess he also intentionally put me in that position, he has no reason to.
"Alright, I forgive Mr. Cai."
Cailaden raised his face and smiled happily. "really??" The man's face was slightly blushing.
"Yes." Yeah." Camell smiled. "Where can I make Mr. Cai who is a Viscount apologize directly to me.
"Ahh that.." Cai scratched his non-itchy head. "I promise there won't be another one like that on occasion."
"Yes I believe." Camell smiled looking at Cailaden.
After his affairs were finished, Cai resigned to retreat after chatting and drinking tea together. Camell could judge Cailaden was not a stale person and could be straight to the point, it was certain that the man was not deliberately cornering Camell. But Cailaden who avoids to answer the reason still makes Camell remember it and need to watch out.
..
Meanwhile Lloyd is with Cyness enjoying tea time together.
"Crystal Palace??"
"Yes." Yeah." Cyness smiled spoiled. "I really want Esthus' trip there. Do you want to??"
"Hmmm so well that place, before becoming a duchess candidate you have often mentioned wanting to go there." Lloyd flat said. "Just be up to you."
"Ah do you remember that Lloyd? Thanks dad!" Cyness was happy, how not. If Lloyd agrees to go with him to the Crystal Palace, Camell will not ask to go there. And this meant he was superior because he was going to visit the duchess's emblematic palace.
"Then for the schedule...." Lloyd sipped her hot tea, "I want to go with you first, I mean for the tour."
Cyness who heard the words was happy not to play and increasingly felt above the clouds, especially when Lloyd spoke heard by many servants and bodyguards.
This rumor will definitely spread widely, spread to make Camell aware of his position.
Cyness smiled faintly like he was getting a landslide victory.
