Chapter 58's
...* * *...
After entering the banquet hall, I began to defeat each of them as if breaking the stamp.
“I heard there was debt in your family? Did you pay it back?"
“Mmh, I don't mind if there's anything left. Isn't it possible to pay back just by selling diamonds at the end of this dress?”
Just by slightly raising the tip, I get rid of the dirt first.
“You don't look too sick. I hope it's not something like seclusion under the guise of recovery?”
“In retrospect, is it true that Count Revan left his fiancee at Lake Esvantes. You might want to keep it a secret.”
“...W-what are you saying? What are you talking about?"
“Well, you can't reveal a person's dirty life under the guise of healing. Oh, I don't know about seclusion.”
“I'm sorry, Princess. Of course, it's all about recovery. I thought my mouth went crazy for a moment. If you are offended, I'm sorry.”
The second waste was fascinated by the love story Serena told me.
“Seeing that you have come so far, you must have trouble staying in the Duchy of Icard. Well, daughter-in-law who saw nothing, is not it beautiful .. ”
“Isn't this a little hot? I'm a little hot. I happen to have a fan that I got as a gift.”.
"No,**-it's a Rivien tiger!"
Needless to say, I shook the fan given by Olivia and threw out the third waste.
It's not hard to deal with this little bastard. Since I am also a gentle person, no matter how easily I press it, my heart does not taste good.
It was fun to win in the end. Thats cute. There goes. Pretending to be nice and controlling is really the thing I love. Some people witnessed the light defeats of those who had been sent one by one. They were the Vietti and Bern.
“Can I talk to you, princess? Please come to our table.”
"Very good."
Bern came and talked to me. When I went to their side, there was a group of people sitting at the table. At first, I left because they wanted to talk to me, though, somehow, she picked up the old story without actually trying to talk to me at all.
“So, last winter, very nice, thanks to young miss Owen.”
"That's fine. I couldn't even sleep at that.”
Well, this is one of the deliberate ignoring skills, 'Stupid someone they call but just talk to each other while ignoring them.' It was a technique that made people feel left out by talking about the past that was usually fun.
'If you see things first, you can counterattack.'
I walked in with a smile.
“Yes, I heard that story. It must be nice to make a ghost scene prematurely. ”
Everyone looked at me with a faint look. Vietti, who was leading the mood, coughed a few times and turned to other topics.
“Do you remember the last time Karen came? It was ridiculous at the time. ”
"That's fine. Why did he come like that?”
This…! This is a higher skill level, 'Curse the absent and make the unknown never involved.'
Although the intention of the last technique was the same, there was a barrier for people, one could not curse people you had never met. And, there are side effects of 'You'll be dumped like this if you make a mistake.'
I smiled and walked in again.
“Stay alone, they say it's trending in the north. Isn't that fur hat funny?”
Based on the information previously researched, it is necessary to side with the person who is unable to attend at this time. Since I seemed to be inexile, Vietti smiled slightly and finally asked.
“How does the princess know all the stories? I've heard you don't have any social activities in the Capital. ”
'Well, he implied that I had no friends in the Capital ...'
“Because I got married at an early age due to various circumstances. Young master Icard is quite famous, even though he is young, so it is difficult to get close to people.”
The first was to skin me about my parents' debts, and the second said I was not recognized by the Icards.
I then added with a relaxed shoulder shrug.
"Because I prepared this lavish banquet for me."
I mean, 'Contrary to what you said, I'm adored by the Duke of Icard.'
"Since I came here, I have had some correspondence."
Everyone knew that I exchanged letters with many people as a banquet invitation.
"I have a friend who tells me a lot of things."
Actually, Serena told me.
The atmosphere of the table became cold with my words. Everyone was nervous at the thought of having a spy. In particular, Vietti seemed to want to find out who was close enough to me to tell me all the details.
"By the way, Young Miss Kate isn't here."
Saying so, I stood up with a smile, "He must be uncomfortable because Young Master Bern kept confessing, right?"
“A-what!”
Bern jumped in shock.
"What do you mean…?"
Vietti looked at Bern as if he was dumbfounded.
“Maybe, you used Young Miss Vietti to exiled her because you were annoyed at being dumped. Well, anyway it's just my opinion.”
I tilted my head and added. On the other hand, Vietti began to grind his teeth out of anger at Bern.
"B-How dare you ... use me?"
It was obvious that he would feel bad. Even the word 'wear' came out because it was not enough to send a letter to an exiled person.
I shrugged my shoulders.
"All right then…"
Now that the bomb has exploded, it's time to wake up.
"I'll say hello to young lady Kate."
The first and second places in the gang would likely fight, so the rest would be divided as expected.
Of course, there will be some of them who are aware of this situation and bond with me and look for a third power. When the gang rips themselves apart, they will lose their power. Therefore, a gang with divided strength would end up as well.
Kate was originally a pretty influential young woman, but she was left out because she was exiled.
That means he has a position where he can rule again if he has wings. So, if Princess Duke, me, and Young Miss Marquis, Kate, join hands, we will have more ripple effects than Young Miss, Vietti.
Until now, Kate wasn't good at politics, so she left alone, even though that was enough if I worked behind her.
"That's all for today."
After announcing the preliminaries of their collapse, I kindly approached Kate and spoke kindly.
"Is everything okay with you?"
My teacher was none other than his mother, the Marchioness Eldsphy.
“I hope my mother can come, although it is not easy to move.”
Marchioness Eldsphy has consistently taught liberal arts and manners at my request. Despite the fact that he was famous and learned in many ways, he was already very old. That's why she can't take care of the social life of Kate, her youngest daughter.
Obviously, it was also because Kate was quite arrogant and never gave any details about her condition all along. He was so proud that he didn't even tell anyone about Bern's cover letters.
Well, it wasn't that she didn't have any friends at first, though when she suddenly became isolated as the Vietti swept through the social scene and lost her favor, Kate acted more aloof.
"Some work will be done soon."
Now, if the members are well chosen in the tea time invitation, we can quickly increase our strength.
Looking outside the banquet hall, Evan was surrounded by more people. I knew he was constantly checking me to the side. As we made eye contact, I smiled silently and then slipped out of the banquet hall.
Although the bomb exploded in the Vietti group as planned, it did not taste very good.
In fact, I was like a machine when planned words came out because part of my mind was somewhere else.
'Of course, even so, I did a good job.'
I don't forget to praise myself in the meantime.
'It's about this much, but how good would I be if I made a decision? I can put the Empire's social life in the palm of my hand.'
However, that's all, and being depressed is depression.
When I left the banquet hall, I sat in the garden where there was no one. Actually, I need some time to think for myself.
'Why…'
I try to look into my mind calmly. It's clear why my heart is fading than I thought. The fact that Duke Icard was still trying to use black magic kept ringing in my mind.
'What does this have to do with Duke Icard's plans? I just want to escape.'
It was only after I sat alone for a while that I realized why my mind felt uncomfortable. When I don't know the Duke of Icard's purpose, maybe I'm expecting a different ending without realizing it.
"You said that. You're happier here than you are in Rostry County. Don't think too much about blood ties.”
"I'll be a much better member of the family than all your relatives put together."
After the Karen incident, what Duke Icard and Evan said was frankly warm. To be honest, this is the first time I've felt so loved.
…I had no hope of becoming a family member, so I was a little excited by those words. Obviously, it is true that I love the materialistic side in me whenever I receive this or that gift, but I am also a human being, so my heart cannot help but be moved.
There's always hope for Plan B, even though I think Duke Icard can kill me. I love being entangled with Evan and Olivia on behalf of the family. That's why I thought it was like a lottery, but in fact, my heart for Plan B grew bigger without even realizing it.
I was prepared hard to escape but could throw everything away in an instant. It is difficult to treat only Duke Icard, who still does not talk about my illness, still, I expect it from the bottom of my heart …
As a result, when I feel he really thinks I am funny or when he gives me excessive gifts. I am constantly on guard. But, sometimes, I really think he gave it to me. Whatever Duke Icard wants, maybe he can solve it without killing me.
Shouldn't I be doing something better so it doesn't flow like the original…?
So, I didn't even know that I was very curious about the Duke of Icard's goal.
'Whatever it is, I'll make it happen.'
It was a thought that showed no self-esteem, although initially, I had no self-esteem at all. However, if the goal is Matilda, it is not something I can replace…
'If I don't disappear in time, I will be killed. I might hesitate for a moment because of the piled up affection that is so precious, but…'
No matter how good I am, no matter how hard I try.
