All eyes were on Duchess Vallua.
“K-we, uh...”.
The Duchess muttered with a pale face as she could not find an excuse. He grabbed his son's wrist and left quickly.
Niel, who was taken away by the Duchess, looked at me as if she was going to tear me to death, but I just waved my hand at her.
***
“My name is Michaela George. I still have many shortcomings but I educate children.”
“My name is Candida Dimonte. When I was young, I worked as a maid for the Empress. ”
Those famous godmothers surrounded me and introduced themselves.
They all looked at me with glittering eyes as if they were expecting something.
I'm also Dubbled's son even though I was adopted. I was even given the Duchess as my middle name.
The Empress has also been interested in me since the Luminous treatment incident.
Besides, I corrected Niel back then. It naturally made my grades soar.
I grinned as I tried not to reveal my burden.
"I have to keep it a secret if I can read the ancient language."
It's been crowded, it'll be even more annoying when that fact is revealed.
A loud voice came from the door when I was pressured by the women.
'Camilla has arrived!'
People gathered in two and three steps back and lowered their heads.
I approached my aunt, bowed slightly and looked at Camilla.
I saw it in my previous life but I still feel good to see it. He always acted elegantly and never wasted any movement.
The host, Countess Walt, approached her with a smile.
“You came here. It's an honor for us.”
“It's a nice party. I can feel you very meticulous in handling it.”
"I'm glad to hear it."
Camilla looked around and said,
“It's a great party, so let's all enjoy it.”
Only then did the people with their hands on their chests and backs bent continue the journey.
Noise returned to the party.
Camilla sat on the chair.
There were not many chairs, but he was sitting in a good place.
'As expected of socialite number one.'
They all acted very differently from the Empress's party last time.
They had factions, but they held the battle.
People enjoy the party freely, but they do not forget the rules.
'There are still many people who want to ask her to be their godmother.'
He was surrounded by young women and their parents.
Camilla was so kind-hearted, she treated everyone fairly. She was not even a godmother to anyone.
Suddenly,
“Nona Dubbled.”
I was surprised to see him staring at me.
'Huh?'
I don't think he would call me in a public space like that.
When I glanced at my aunt, she nodded and I headed to Camilla.
"I greet you."
"Sit here."
Then he told the people around him.
“Can everyone leave us? I need to talk to that lady about something. ”
Needless to say, people are surprised. Stepping back, everyone glanced at this side with a curious expression.
“It's been a few days.”
"Yes." Yeah."
"Have you done anything?"
“I walked around and read books.”
"What's that book with the part you told me last time?"
"Yes! That's my favorite book.”
"I'm grateful."
Then he looked at me with soft eyes.
“I want to give you a gift. I wondered what the kids liked the most these days, but I decided to give you what you wanted. Is there anything you want?”He asked me.
“Gift for me?”
“Yes, I thank you for that woman. Thanks to you, I was able to find someone valuable.”
He seems to have decided to accept Leticia and Lionel.
'She will soon officially become the Grand Duchess and the Duke's son.'
I said nothing and smiled.
“Don't you wonder who is so valuable? You must be curious.”
“You are very wise, so I trust your intentions. If you don't tell me the details, I don't think I need to hear it.”
His eyes, which treated me like a child, changed.
“Lady very smart.”
"I'm flattered."
“No, you're really smart. I mean it."
She's staring. I didn't avoid his look.
"I appreciate your words, but I don't think I'm smart."
“What do you want and need?”
“If need..”.
I pretend to think.
"Wait, but it's something you can't give me."
"Don't you underestimate me?"He asked playfully.
"People? Do you need people?you already have so many of them. Your capable father, your outstanding older brother and aunt are the most popular. I hear that there are a lot of talented people around you. ”
“What I need is someone who can teach me. Dad said that. I'm Lady Dubbled, so I have to act like one. But I'm still young, so I don't know anything.”
“....you want godmother?”
“But my family can't do that. I need someone to be my second mother.”
“……”
“I really need someone I can trust and follow like a mother.”
"I understand. You're right."
Then, a chocolate fountain came in. It was a gift from the party organizer for the children.
As I stared at the children who were running vigorously, I felt dizzy.
'I will be excited too!'
I thought so and shouted, "Wow!"
"Go and look."
Hearing Camilla's words, I got up and went to the chocolate fountain.
As I walked, I felt Camilla look at my back.
When I saw the reflection in the fountain, Camilla gestured to her servant and looked at me.
'Dubbled.cari know..how far his education.'
After barely reading the shape of the mouth reflected in the fountain, I moved the biscuits into the bowl and smiled.
There doesn't seem to be much time left for me to have a godmother.
***
'And as expected!'
I looked out the window at the train.
Camilla invited me to dinner. It was shocking and many people were surprised.
My family was discussing the invitation when I said,
"I want to go!"
My father finally decided to send me there.
"If you don't sit properly, you'll get hurt."
… with Johann.
I replied, "Yes .." and straightened my posture.
The men in neat uniforms greeted us after we got off the train.
"I greet the Dubbled children."
We followed their guide into the room.
Johann waited in the reception room as I headed to the room next to him.
"Call me as soon as they make you feel uncomfortable."
Johann whispered after I nodded and entered the room.
"He's coming soon, so please wait patiently."
After the butler left the room, I sat cautiously on the sofa.
"Yes." Yeah."
'This is the VIP reception room where Camilla is
just to invite some people.'
"Wow…"
I looked around the room admiring him.
It's not super fancy, but…
The room looks good. It is decorated with old ornaments but looks elegant.
There was a terrace attached to the room, where sunlight entered through the large window and there were many green trees and flowers outside.
'uh? What is Haro flower?'
I screamed in my heart when I saw the flower.
This is the flower that made me sick last time.
I went to the porch to make sure it was really a Haro flower, and if I was right, I would close the window.
After I put my hand on the window,
I could hear a voice calling someone from far away.
"….Where are you!"
“...rince.”
"Prince Adrian!"
Thump!
I heard someone fall to the floor.
I looked up in surprise.
"You…"
“……!”
The cool breeze made her blond hair fall out.
'Adrians!'
I was shocked when he opened his mouth,
“Isaac, why..”.
As soon as he muttered something,
I heard the clanking of hinges from the window of the next room.
'Johann is in the next room!'
I immediately pulled him and hid behind the curtains. And I caught Adrian's wrist quickly and made him bend his knee.
If I could, I'd like to put it in my pocket.
My heart is pounding.
Adrian and Johann are naturally enemies. It was the greatest opportunity to thrust a sword into each other's throats.
I slipped my head out of the curtain, wondering if Johann had opened the door.
But all I could see was the uniform of the maid.
"The servant must have opened the door."
I sighed, and looked straight ahead.
His eyes were looking at me from a close distance.
