Chapter 13 Royal citadel night get together (1)

Translator: Tseirp

“I’ll educate you the fundamentals of etiquettes.”

I used to be instructed that by Eva and I obediently accepted her classes.

I didn’t wish to hold Nonna ready on the finish of every day’s work or in between work, so I made a decision to set myself up as ‘somebody who can be taught after being taught a few times’.

“Wow. How are you going to be taught so rapidly?”

“Truly, this isn’t the primary time I’ve been requested to behave as an insect repellent. However that was a very long time in the past, so I’m not assured.”

“Ah, I see. That’s why.”

I defined to Eva that, “Once I used to work at a noble’s mansion, I performed the function of a brief lover of the grasp to eliminate the younger girls who have been aiming for the place of the second spouse.” It was the reality. Nevertheless, my goal at the moment was to search out out who the noble was linked to in a foreign country.

I’m ready for her to suppose that I may need been a mistress. I thought-about I might simply search for one other job if she mentioned she couldn’t rent such a lady. However Eva didn’t change her angle even after listening to that. She didn’t appear fearful for Mr. Bernard both.

Ten days after Eva measured my physique, a resized, ready-made costume arrived at Mrs. Yorana’s mansion within the title of Mr. Asher. The supply individual should have thought that the aristocrat from the principle home ordered it. The sunshine purple costume with a chic design had a pleasant neckline and open again, and the sneakers of the identical colour arrived in a separate field.

Mrs. Yorana was there with the woman attendants who introduced the costume and field of sneakers to me.

“Are you continue to in a relationship with the Commander?”

“I don’t know if I can say that I’m in a relationship with him. The Commander comes by Mr. Bernard’s mansion infrequently.”

“What about this costume?”

“This……”

Once I defined the scenario, Mrs. Yorana smiled fortunately.

“Such a careless man. He might have simply invited you instantly with out giving a purpose like that.”

It was exhausting to say that I had already been invited to a meal and a picnic, so I laughed alongside vaguely, when Nonna fortunately reported, “The three of us went on a picnic.”

“Oh, I see. That’s nice. You and the Commander are single. The distinction in standing is a factor now. Something can occur.”

“No, we’re not in that sort of relationship.”

“It’s okay. You want the spark of affection in life. You’re nonetheless younger in spite of everything.”

Mrs. Yorana’s help confused me somewhat. So long as I act as an insect repellant for him, individuals will suppose we’re lovers. It seems to be like there will likely be plenty of hassle sooner or later, however since I mentioned I’d go, I’ll put together myself.

‘I can’t make guarantees that I can’t hold. I’ll hold the guarantees that I’ve made.’ That’s my creed.

On the day of the get together, I spent a while within the morning getting dressed and ready for the Commander.

At 4 o’clock within the night, as promised, the Commander got here to choose me up in a carriage. And as quickly as he noticed me dressed up, he appeared stunned.

“Regardless of how I have a look at you, you’re the picture of a phenomenal noble younger girl. I knew you’ll look good in mild purple. Seems to be like tonight I will likely be bathed in seems to be of jealousy.”

“Thanks very a lot. Please hold the compliments coming, I settle for all of them.”

Commander laughed as he lifted my chin with a pompous gesture on goal.

At her request, Nonna ended up being sorted by Susan, the attendant of the principle home.

“I’ll deal with her till morning. You don’t have to come back dwelling tonight.”

“Mrs. Yorana, I’ll be again tonight. What sort of delinquent would you like me to be?”

“Fufu. Go. Have enjoyable.”

I bowed to Mrs. Yorana who despatched me off with a wink, waved to Nonna, and obtained on the carriage. Mr. Asher held out his massive hand, calloused from wielding a sword, as I boarded. It was dry and heat.

“I heard from Eva that it isn’t your first time appearing as an insect repellent.”

“Please depart it to me to behave as your private insect repellant for as we speak. So, might you inform me the names of the individuals who persistently deliver up marriage proposals? I have to hold them in thoughts earlier than we meet.”

“Ah. I’ll let you know after we see them. Possibly they gained’t come.”

(Then isn’t there no purpose for me to attend?) I believed however didn’t say it. Whereas chatting, we arrived on the royal citadel very quickly.

Along with the various lamps positioned and hung within the royal citadel, there was additionally a big bonfire burning within the backyard. The darkness within the backyard stood out as a result of the venue was brilliant. Outdoors the venue have been guards in navy blue uniforms, and inside have been royal guard knights in pure white uniforms with beautiful gold decorations.

The venue was crammed with girls sporting clothes that appeared like large flowers. This evening get together on the royal citadel is the fourth evening get together, together with these held in different international locations, but it surely’s probably the most beautiful get together thus far. Befitting of a mercantile empire.

Once we stepped into the venue, a wave of commotion unfold among the many individuals already there, and everybody checked out us. Some casually glanced at us, whereas others stared at us bluntly. Simply how in style is the Commander? And people gazes have been additionally directed at me who was subsequent to the Commander.

(Nicely, I’ll have to begin appearing my function.)

For the primary time in a very long time, I used to be surrounded by a pleasing rigidity, and I appeared up on the massive silver-haired man with a smile whereas extending my again and placing my hand on the chief’s arm.

“Commander, you’re in style with each women and men, aren’t you?”

“It’s been ten years since I’ve participated with a lady. They have to be stunned.”

“Eh.”

I hadn’t heard that. Ten years? This good-looking man? What does that imply?

“Lord Asher, it’s been some time. I’m stunned that you’re taking part with a lady.”

“Earl Wald, a lady I need as firm lastly appeared.”

“Miss, could I ask your title?”

“My title is Victoria Sellers. I’m from the Kingdom of Randall.”

“Is that so? I knew I hadn’t seen you earlier than. So you’re a younger girl from our neighboring nation.”

In accordance with our dialogue earlier than the get together, I’m the younger girl relative of the Anderson household who married right into a neighboring nation’s aristocratic household. Girl Eva mentioned, “In case you reveal actually that she is a commoner, that might flip into the one subject and I might really feel sorry for Victoria”. Simply in case, I had my self-made Randall Kingdom ID card in my pocket.

After that, they talked to me one after one other.

Earlier than lengthy, a younger girl in her twenties approached, dragging her companion along with her. The power of her gaze made me suppose (Ah, I must be cautious with this), so I gently despatched a sign by means of Mr. Asher’s arm. Mr. Asher nodded, nonetheless dealing with ahead.

“Ah, Countess Gilmore, good night.”

“Lord Asher, I’ve requested you a lot instances to name me Florence. Tonight is an uncommon evening, isn’t it?”

Whereas saying that, the evaluating approach she scanned at me from high to backside felt actually unhealthy. Furthermore, her expression was so unrefined that it was exhausting to consider that she is the daughter of a Rely. It appeared that she was so jealous that she forgot to regulate her expression. I let the impolite gaze circulate over me with the smile and composure of an grownup.

“Victoria, this younger girl is Countess Florence Gilmore. Countess Gilmore, that is Victoria Sellers. A younger girl from a neighboring nation viscount home.”

“My my, from a neighboring nation.”

Miss Florence’s gaze grew to become even meaner when she realized that my social standing is decrease than hers.

(You’re such an fool. Exposing such unhealthy character in your face in entrance of the individual you’re inquisitive about), I muttered in my coronary heart.

“I’m Victoria Sellers. I’m deeply moved by the truth that all of the younger women of the Ashbury Kingdom are very elegant and type.”

“Pft.”

The one who stifled fun was the Commander. He appeared to have picked up on my sarcasm.

“She’s my beloved girl. I’ll be delighted in case you are to be on good phrases along with her.”

Saying that, the Commander hugged my shoulder and kissed my hair.

“Wha!”

Girl Florence froze in shock. Her face and neck flip crimson with anger.

That gesture, coming from the Commander who had not introduced a lady for 10 years, made the encompassing spectators stir. I used to be additionally stunned, however in the course of the dialogue we had upfront, I used to be instructed, “I wish to play as two people who find themselves very shut.”

“My, not right here Jeffrey.”

I replied in a candy voice. I twisted my higher physique somewhat and appeared up on the Commander, selecting an angle the place different individuals might simply see my genuinely completely happy expression.

All was effectively up thus far.
