What’s with that ‘have a superb day’? She sabotaged a loving couple and made them stroll all the best way to the mansion, and now she’s smiling and welcoming?

She’d by no means seen such audacity earlier than.

Whereas she needed to lash out and go away, she couldn’t.

‘How laborious it was to get invited to this occasion…! Why her of all individuals?’

The group that Karen, Flory’s pal, was a part of consisted of rich, famend, and distinguished younger nobles.

Regardless of figuring out her shortcomings, she had persuaded Karen incessantly to attend this occasion. She couldn’t simply go away now.

However that didn’t imply she needed to get together with that depraved girl. As soon as everybody gathered, she deliberate to subtly expose her true nature.

With two needs nonetheless owed, she couldn’t immediately confront her however considered utilizing Karen.

“…Sure.”

Decided, Flory tersely responded and clung to Karen. Her chilly demeanor made Karen awkwardly snort whereas attempting to clarify her pal’s conduct.

“She appears nervous. We’ll relaxation a bit earlier than the celebration begins.”

Claiming it was nerves appeared a stretch given Flory’s bitter expression, however Luna graciously laughed it off.

“Please do. A servant will information you.”

On their option to the glass backyard led by a servant, Karen, with Flory nonetheless clinging to her arm, requested:

“Flory, did one thing upset you?”

Greater than an inquiry, it gave the impression of a reproach. Preserving a distance from the servant, Flory gritted her enamel and replied:

“Karen, have you learnt who that girl is?”

“Come to think about it, we didn’t correctly introduce ourselves.”

Rosemary, who had despatched the invitation, solely talked about she would introduce her pal, the brand new proprietor of the Rose Mansion, so Karen didn’t know her title.

If Flory hadn’t been so upset earlier, they might’ve shared names.

“I’ve advised you many occasions! There’s a lady tormenting my pal, younger girl Seira. She’s the childhood pal of younger lord Rodrian.”

“Oh, proper, you probably did point out that.”

Mentioning such an unrelated particular person out of the blue perplexed Karen. Seeing her confused face, Flory burst out:

“That girl is the depraved one! It’s Luna Peils!”

“…What?”

Karen stopped in her tracks, displaying the response Flory had anticipated. Flory hurriedly continued to clarify.

“Even as soon as, she made me stroll all the best way from the boutique to the mansion! She’s actually an unimaginable girl, isn’t she?”

“How on earth did that occur?”

“That girl proposed a wager. She stated if she gained, I’d must do no matter she needed, so to stop her from tormenting Seira any longer, I agreed. I’ll inform you concerning the wager later. It’s a bit difficult.”

Flory defined the state of affairs, conveniently omitting particulars that forged her in a destructive mild.

“So, after shedding the wager, you walked to the mansion as per her want?”

“Sure! How might she even make such a want? She’s completely mad, isn’t she? How might one maintain a straight face in entrance of somebody like that?”

Unbelievable. How might she do such a factor.

Listening to that she not solely interfered with Seira and Fersen’s relationship but in addition tormented Flory, her longtime pal, Karen frowned.

“You could by no means enable that girl into this gathering.”

Upon Flory’s plea, Karen nodded in settlement. She had already made up her thoughts even earlier than Flory’s request.

“Don’t fear. Everybody would oppose her becoming a member of even earlier than I decide.”

Why would Rosemary ever introduce somebody like that as a pal? She’s normally discerning like a proud cat.

Although suspicious, if the girl really was the rumored Luna Peils, they wanted to expel her from the group, whatever the purpose.

* * *

After Karen and Flory disappeared into the glass backyard, for some purpose, Rosemary’s expression appeared off.

She stared on the course of the glass backyard for a second, then turned to Luna with a barely disenchanted face.

“Are you aware Flory Flora? Are you shut?”

“…Sure?”

What sort of out-of-the-blue query is that this? Luna, who inadvertently giggled, shook her head.

“No, probably not.”

“It appeared such as you’ve carried out numerous issues collectively.”

“Nicely, sure.”

However not in a great way. It was quarreling, or warnings and threats, or betting with the intent to complete off the opponent.

Upon Luna’s reply, Rosemary, with a dark face, stared out the window earlier than cautiously asking once more.

“You’ve identified her longer, so that you’re nearer, proper?”

“If simply figuring out somebody for a very long time means closeness, then Fersen could be my closest pal.”

“Ah.”

That straightforward and clear reply appeared to offer Rosemary profound perception.

“Additionally, you, girl Rosemary, are my solely pal. So, you’re the closest one.”

Antes wasn’t a pal, Emma and Laura had been household. So, Luna was certainly closest to Rosemary.

There wasn’t even a comparability. Luna, being a homebody, barely knew anybody.

“Actually!?”

Listening to that she was the only real and closest pal, Rosemary’s eyes sparkled, wiping away her earlier gloominess.

“I additionally really feel that I’m closest to Woman Luna! Though we haven’t identified one another for lengthy, I felt that manner. I hope we get even nearer, so shut that we’d even enter our graves hand in hand!”

“Graves?”

Instantly, it was a confession of their closeness. Luna was grateful however discovered the outline a bit overwhelming, making her snort awkwardly.

Luckily, earlier than something extra may very well be stated, carriages arrived. Not one, however three.

The women disembarked, laughing, and exchanged heat greetings with Rosemary.

And naturally, Luna, whom they had been assembly for the primary time, was launched.

“That is Luna, the star of immediately’s celebration and the proprietor of the Rose Mansion from the Peils household.”

“…”

As quickly as Rosemary completed, the three women froze, their faces questioning if they only heard some nonsense.

Anticipating this, Luna smiled wryly, gathered her gown, and greeted them as gracefully as potential.

“My title is Luna Peils. I used to be hesitant to satisfy others due to the baseless rumors, however I’ve heard that you just all are understanding people who wouldn’t be swayed by gossip. So, I gathered the braveness to host this occasion.”

Hoping to clear any misunderstandings first, she concluded her introduction, and happily, the women appeared to grasp her intentions, although they appeared a bit embarrassed.

That didn’t imply their doubts had been cleared, nonetheless. One among them couldn’t include her curiosity and immediately requested Luna.

“So, you’re saying the rumors are false?”

“Sure. Completely. I’d stake my complete fortune on it.”

She needed to stake her fortune as a result of if she staked her life, the style of the story may change. One other girl requested Luna.

“Then why did you name younger lord Rordrian on a regular basis?”

“I’ve by no means carried out that. It’s not possible to name him on a regular basis. Sadly, our impoverished household had just one carriage, and that carriage was utilized by my father for commuting.”

“So, you didn’t stroll?”

“How might one stroll a distance that takes an hour even by carriage? Even working would take a number of hours.”

“Oh…! I see.”

The women realized the illogical nature of the rumor and lined their stunned mouths with their followers.

Whereas it was unhappy, Luna’s impoverished previous proved her innocence.

They appeared to have many extra questions on Luna. So many, the truth is, that they’d numerous suspicions about her.

“We are able to discuss misunderstandings later. I can vouch that she has been falsely accused. When have I ever lied? So, I hope you see Luna for who she really is. She’s a beautiful particular person.”

Given the temper, it appeared they might maintain questioning, however Rosemary intervened.

They’d collect multi functional place and every part could be defined then.

“It should’ve been a tough expertise for you, thanks for kindly answering.”

“I’m sorry for being impolite out of extreme curiosity throughout our first assembly.”

Accepting and apologizing instantly was typical of Rosemary’s pals. Luna smiled and accepted their apologies.

“As for rudeness, I’m really grateful you spoke up.”

“Your mansion is gorgeous. Might we request a tour?”

“Really, I used to be about to ask you an identical.”

Because of Rosemary, they’d already visited the mansion a number of occasions. Their request was a type of pleasant gesture.

“After all,” Luna willingly agreed.

“Ranging from this corridor. It’s constructed larger than typical mansion halls, making it really feel spacious compared to its measurement. The lighting is designed to scale back eye fatigue to the utmost.”

“…?”

That wasn’t the form of tour they had been anticipating.

They only needed to casually share their admiration for the mansion, however Luna all of the sudden started explaining architectural strategies and lighting supplies, which left them wide-eyed.

Nonetheless, they weren’t displeased. Watching Luna passionately clarify the mansion was someway endearing.

Though they weren’t within the technical particulars, they listened intently as Luna led them to the glass backyard.

* * *

“And that is the glass backyard. It’s made fully of glass as much as the ceiling, so you may benefit from the surroundings whatever the climate.”

“Oh my. It’s so lovely.”

Even after a number of visits, the glass backyard was nonetheless breathtaking.

Luna, happy with their response, started one other detailed clarification.

“The backyard’s ceiling top is 5 meters, taller than most indoor gardens. It was constructed utilizing a glass-making approach devised by artisans from Croix…”

Though the content material was technical and Luna gave the impression to be reciting memorized info, the women listened with out criticism. Besides for 2 of them.

“What’s happening? Does she nonetheless not know who they’re?”

Karen requested, puzzled. Flory answered with a decided look.

“Unattainable. She should’ve heard their names by now. It’s that.”

“That?”

“That girl is unquestionably mendacity. She will need to have interfered between younger lord Rodrian and younger girl Seira on this method earlier than.”

It was clear that she had at all times triggered bother, stirring up misunderstandings and creating rifts.

Karen, absolutely satisfied, bit her lip.

“What ought to we do? I even have two extra needs I must grant, however I can’t convey myself to say it. That girl is simply too terrifying.”

Flory held Karen’s hand with a face stuffed with worry, trying pitiable.

Holding Flory’s hand tightly, Karen stood up, decided to not let something smash her treasured gathering anymore.

“Wait, everybody, don’t be deceived!”
