Chapter 135

TL: Zimming

"What, why are you looking at me like that?"

Elizabeth snapped and frowned, as the ladies quickly turned away.

Zachary, assigned to guard the party today, approached me and whispered.

"They ladies are more gentler than I thought. I think they won't do much today"

"Why?"

"You're trying to isolate Lady Nodelli in the party today, aren't you?"

"That's true, but she'll be isolated naturally."

I shrugged.

The ladies were not theones who would harm Elizabeth just because of my brothers.

There was no one inferior who was jealous and vulgar just because she was more likely to be with someone they loved.

"Miss Nodelli, please sit here. Lady's table is this way."

It won't be because of that, Elizabeth will be isolated because of her attitude.

"Miss Nodelli, come this way. This is Lady's table."

"I saw you the other day, didn't I? How have you been?"

There were so many friendly people here. They reached out first in case the child was uncomfortable.

Elizabeth turned her head with excitement. Then she hovered around Johann and said,

"Excuse me......."

"Please speak."

"Everyone must be uncomfortable with Elizabeth coming to the party."

"Who knows."

As Johann walked to the other side, Elizabeth chased after him and said in a childlike manner.

"The ladies doesn't like Elizabeth for some reason. My mother says they are jealous because Elizabeth is cute."

Johann lifted his glass and looked back at Elizabeth, "So?" The child chattered with a shy face.

"I didn't come here with my mother so I'm afraid, please stay with me."

"You don't need to be afraid."

"If I go to the table over there, it'll make them upset."

The ladies whose consideration was thrown away in front of their face hardened.

Johann came to me with a glass of drink.

"Your cheeks are red."

I was a little excited because it was fun to see things go as I wanted. But I deftly hid my thoughts and pressed my cheeks.

"I must be nervous because it's my first party!"

"Drink it."

"Yes."

"I could only stay here until the first half."

'It'll be alright.'

The first half is a party for young ladies, but the second part is a bigger party with the arrival of the ladies.

'Even without Johann, it's easy to create a rift in the party if there are ladies.'

When I smiled broadly, John smiled slightly.

Elizabeth glared at me, clinging to Johann's back. But when Johann turned again, she followed suit.

Zachary giggled in silence.

"What are you looking at?"

"Since I'm an enviable person, they must be jealous. Even if I didn't do anything."

In other places, she will cry, saying that she was criticized by the ladies. Then no matter how friendly the ladies are, they can't help but explode. Even if they've been holding back.

I laughed cynically and sipped the drink Johann gave me.

***

The party, which was splendid from the start, has been full of life all the time. Leblaine prepared small games to play with, leading to a friendly atmosphere throughout the party.

"This time again, Miss Hadeloro is number one."

"I like games. I play games with my family after dinner on weekends. I play chess too."

"Oh my, next time I want to play chess with Miss Hadeloro."

Leblaine grinned at Henry.

"I heard Miss Hadeloro is good at games! Henry is great at chess too!"

"I do like it. You have a good taste."

"R, really? I, I'm glad......."

"My brother plays chess better than I do. Isn't that right, brother?"

When Johann nodded lightly, Elizabeth said,

"Elizabeth said she like blue, so Her Majesty put all the flags of the festival in blue! His Majesty listens to anything Elizabeth says."

Again, the atmosphere was amicable. As long as there is not Elizabeth Nodelli.

Elizabeth never overlooked the conversation between the three lords and the young children.

"Henry, Henry. Come to my mansion next time. It has an incredibly beautiful chess board. The emissary of the country gave it to the Empress Dowager, and Elizabeth wanted it, so she gave it to me."

"If I have the chance."

"Isaac, teach Elizabeth the sword. I have a warrior's sword. The Emperor gave it to me. He adores Elizabeth a lot."

"Please shut up, I'm begging you."

"You're bad! But I'll forgive you! Oh, Johann! Where are you going? You're not leaving me alone, are you? It's scary when there are only young people."

The ladies, who had been expecting to meet the three brothers, looked depressed.

They don't go out on parties or private occasions, so there will be no opportunity for conversation unless it's this day.

Elizabeth acted as if she's Lady Dubbled.

"Lord!"

One of the young ladies plucked up her courage and called Henry.

"I, I...... Thank you for catching me who almost fell at the last hunting festival. Ah, I-!"

"Lady Hera Dimitri"

"D, did you remember me?"

"Of course, your uncle is the cardinal."

"Elizabeth knows Miss Dimitri!"

Elizabeth, who intervened in the conversation, smiled brightly and continued.

"I heard you came last in the seminary."

"I, I wasn't last....... It was second to last....."

"That's the same. Don't you think so, Henry? For smart people like us, it's still the last place. Doesn't she look like a fool?"

Lady Dimitri bowed her head in tears.

Elizabeth humiliated them by bringing up everything that happened and didn't happen. Making them give up on the opportunity to talk.

Johann's followers frowned.

"Miss Nodelli is exceptionally excessive today."

Lady Shevyne rolled the dice of a board game, staring at Elizabeth, who humiliated the ladies repeatedly at the party.

Elizabeth was the youngest in society because people usually made their social debut around the age of 9-10. It was not just because she's the emperor's nephew that condoned the haughty behavior. It was a generous act to a new socialite who was the youngest.

"What will you do Miss Shevyne, will you wait and see?"

Alexandra Shevyne stared at Elizabeth, screaming as if the three lords had a seizure when they approached Leblaine, and others were staring at her.

"...I can't just wait and see."

Another lady frowned and said,

"Don't do it, she will say we're jealous and that the enemy of women is women."

Alexandra, who put the dice down to the table with a sound, smiled.

"If I was afraid of maggots, I wouldn't have been able to socialize in the first place. You know I will protect my comrades, why would I be afraid of some low quality words."

When Alexandra jokes, saying, "We're all comrades who love the three brothers," another Lady laughed and said,

"As expected, the youngest one who enlisted in the white horse battalion is different."

Alexandra, who gulped down the tea, turned her empty teacup.

Then the other young ladies followed her one by one and started flipping over the empty teacups.

Leblaine, who was watching the situation from afar, raised the corners of her mouth.

'It has started.'

It's an act of expressing displeasure at a party.

Isaac's followers also turned the teacup upside down.

Henry's followers, who were generally mild and friendly, hesitated. But.

"Wh, what, what's wrong with you guys? You're jealous of Elizabeth! Look, lords. I am so scared......."

When Elizabeth wept and rebuked the ladies, Henry's followers also turned the teacup.

In an instant, the teacups of all the tables turned upside down. It meant that they would not continue the party unless the unpleasant thing was resolved.

Leblaine was ready for the moment.

"Lady Nodelli-"

Then Alexandra interrupted us.

"I'm sorry, Miss Dubbled. Can you give me a chance to speak this time?"

"Huh?"

Alexandra looked at Elizabeth, hiding Leblaine behind her back.

"Please go back today so that you don't damage Miss Dubbled's party."

"What?! What are you talking about, I......!"

"I won't condone any more disturbances at Miss Dubbled's first party. Go back."

"How could you humiliate Elizabeth like this......!!"

"Stop!"

The low-heeled shoe echoes through the quiet place. Alexandra smiled as she approached Elizabeth closely.

"Don't make me say it three times. Today is the last day we'll be generous to the youngest."

"......!"

Elizabeth, who bit her lips hard, looked around shivering. As if to seek help.

But no one defended her, they are fed up with Elizabeth's behavior.

Elizabeth, who was humiliated in front of Johann, burst into tears and left the party.

Leblaine sang in delight to herself.

A child's fight will become an adult fight.

Marquis Nodelli, who cares for her daughter dearly, cannot stand still when Elizabeth returns to shame.

Then the parents of ladies in here will step up. Other young ladies lowered their eyebrows while looking at Alexandra.

"Thank you for stepping up for us. But Princess Ingrid will be here soon, will you be alright?"

Then, Leblaine said with a big smile.

"Miss Shevyne"

"Yes?"

"You stepped up for my party, and this time I want to do something for Miss Shevyne."

"......?"

Just in time, the sound of music came out to mark the end of the first half.

The ladies in the waiting room began to enter the party one by one.

Leblaine politely seated Alexandra and greeted the ladies. Princess Ingrid appeared in a crowd of ladies.

At the same time.

"Dad......."

My dad, who arrived at the garden at my request, turned to me.

"......Why do you look so sad?"

"That......."

I glanced at Princess Ingrid in a very determined tone.

"Miss Nodelli made a mistake at the party. The ladies came out for my first party, and I'm worried that they might get angry."

-I told my dad.

Dad's eyes moved to Princess Ingrid.

Princess Ingrid, who had already been embarrassed by my words, turned pale.

'Is it that embarrassing?'

Then go and make sure Elizabeth doesn't cry and complain to the empress and emperor.

In the meantime, I'm going to secure Suwon, and I'm going to make friends with the ladies so that I could take Vallua.
