LESE NOBLESSE(2)

The Visounty of Alchera

In a room that looked extravagant, a female daughter was seen sleeping soundly. The woman had bright red hair with her fair white skin.The girl looked to be a thirteen to fifteen year old teenager.

Tok tok ...

"Young Miss, it's time you woke up."

A maid knocked on the door quietly and looked to have a face full of doubt.

"Miss, I'm authorized to enter."

After a long time knocking on the door, the maid immediately opened the door of the girl's room with a spare key.

This maid is the lady's personal servant. So he holds the spare key to open the door of his master's room if something urgent is needed.

If on an ordinary day the girl can sleep as she pleases, but especially for today she should wake up early.

That was because they had to leave for Fertilhall to attend the event organized by the count.

It takes a day's journey from Alchera to Fertihall.

With no small effort, the maid managed to wake Shirley and immediately took her to the garderobe to clean her face.

A beautiful morning as usual. Shirley had gotten up and finished dressing up. She looks so beautiful and full of spirit. It was time to enjoy this beautiful morning. Hahhh .. A bright morning in the shady forest, it was refreshing.

He was one of the grandchildren of one of the largest viscounts in the Fertiphile region. Shirley lived in a fairly large mansion. This was also the house that the viscount lived in which, if counted, the mansion had four floors and was almost the size of a mansion belonging to a count.  Shirley's father was the only son the viscount had so the title of viscount would definitely be passed down to Shirley's father.

After preparing breakfast for Shirley, the maid rushed off to clear her master's room.

While enjoying his meal Shirley waited for two subordinates of her trust.

Seral is a female warrior who is good at using swords. He had class as a knight. While Leen was a ranger who used arrows, she had class as a marksman.

Seral looked lethargic and her eyes were also slightly puffy.

"Why you?" ask Shirley.

"Huh? Sorry, I just woke up hoam ...," said Seral.

"That's right," said Leen, who patted her head in disbelief that she should be friends with someone like this.

"You should wash your face first" Shirley said.

"No problem Miss easy. Hahaha .. don't worry" said Seral.

"Hey .. hey, we're not worried about you, we're worried about ourselves. We don't want to be ashamed because there's a slob like you walking around with us."

Leen's words were harsh. Only certain people will be offended. Those people are the ones with IQs above 90, and Seral is not among those.

"Ooh .. okay-okay."

Seral went and washed her face. Shirley steadfastly had to wait again. May the sun not get higher.

After all was done and Seral was ready, they finally set off. Shirley was in front while Leen and Seral were behind her.

They had to get ready immediately because if it was too late, the viscount could scold them.

As they headed towards the front yard of the mansion, the three of them saw a sizable caravan. This was the caravan that would soon bring the viscount and his family towards Fertilhall.

The three men headed for the same train. Although Shirley was a noble but due to her proximity to Leen and Seral, not to mention for security reasons, the two were allowed to enter Shirley's carriage.

Shirley knew the Count of Fertiphile was the husband of her aunt who had now become a countess.

Shirley used to be very close to her aunt but as time went on she got less and less there.

The cause is the first wife of the count, Clara and her son named Alex. Shirley's grandfather, the Viscount of Alchera, once told her that the two men were strangers who had broken into the count's household.

As a result, Shirley disliked Alex even when she passed by him several times, she chose to avoid the boy.

But now that he and his father and grandfather had to attend Alex's event made Shirley very dissatisfied and full of anger.

***

Fertihall County of Fertiphile

Alen is directly responsible for the event to be held soon.

This was probably the most extravagant event the Fertiphile House had ever put out other than the Fertiphile Alliance's Natalis Dies that had previously been implemented.

The show will start with Tea Party in the morning and then end with an art performance in the evening.

Morning is considered a good time to do activities outside the home. One of those activities is to gather together and drink delicious warm tea.

The Tea Party was held in the courtyard of the mansion.

The Tea Party is the last welcoming event held by Fertiphile to welcome all invited guests, especially nobles and priests. This idea was initiated by Clara who was very enthusiastic about the celebration of her son who has now received the title of baron. The idea has the support and approval of everyone, including Harol.

To enliven the atmosphere, Harol also invited the upper class to non-noble people and priests such as big traders and other influential people. It is also a kind of opportunity to show the public the achievements that his son has achieved.

The guests have started to arrive.

Harol and Liana as usual would welcome the guests.

Liana who was a countess would always be next to Harol. Although he kept smiling to greet the guests but in fact, he felt uneasy. The uneasiness had long since the announcement of Otilia's victory over Canadia and the awarding of the title baron to Alex.

This shows Alex already has bargaining power as a candidate for successor count regardless of its impotence.

This was the first time Liana felt insecure. This was not only for his position as a countess but also the position of his children later in succession to the inheritance.

Meanwhile Clara looks not far from the two couples.

If he usually just looked at them with a sad look, now he was actually very carefree.

How not, this is an event made for his son's achievements. So even though he could not accompany Harol, he still felt happy.

"ah! Welcome to the High Priestess" said Clara

Clara saw that the High Priestess Feodora had come accompanied by several young priestesses.

"Mrs Fertiphile, nice to meet you. Congratulations, Alex is a baron now."

High Priestess Feodora came and greeted Clara.

"Thank you, Mrs High Priestess."

"By the way, where's our main star now? I didn't see it?"

Feodora looked around but did not see Alex.

"Alex is still in the room, but he'll be down soon."

Clara and Feodora chat remembering the past with the main discussion is Alex of course.

"True, I remember Alex since he was a baby was very funny. He's a healthy and talented boy" Feodora said.

Feodora was a priestess who helped deliver Clara to give birth to Alex.

"Right, thanks for the High Priestess' guidance."

During her motherhood, Clara was much mentored by Feodora. Alex is Clara's first child so she desperately needs guidance.

Not felt, they continued chatting until the two were approached by Harol and Liana.

Harol also greeted Feodora politely.

The arrival of the count and countess also indirectly invited other guests to chat together.

Here we see the heads of the family who bring their spouses and children have also interacted with each other.

All the heads of the family especially the viscount and the baron were very enthusiastic about bringing their daughter along.

That's because they know, Alex is not engaged at all.

So when they talk to Harol, there's going to be a lot of questions about Alex's engagement.

Unfortunately both Harol and Clara could not tell the condition that Alex was overridden. They just smile awkwardly.
