Suddenly, rilyns voice interrupted my thoughts. Lady Floyen?
I glanced at Max and replied, Okay. Then lets go eat cake together.
Instead of responding, he smiled at
as I stared blankly in return, unsure why he was doing so. Theres sothing around your eyes, he comnted.
Thinking that my makeup was smudged, I reflexively took out my handkerchief, when he suddenly snatched it away from . I turned towards him, dumbfounded.
You better get your head screwed on straight now that I wont be around. Dont stand around absent-mindedly and keep your guard up.
Frankly, it was pretty ridiculous for him to be saying such things to , as he was soone who lacked knowledge about worldly affairs. When I was about to tell him to mind his own business, he continued speaking.
Well go eat cake together when I get back. Also dont turn your attention to anyone else while Im away. With those final words, he jumped out the window.
He just said what he had to say and left again.I watched as he left, then closed the window.Well, hell be back in a few days. Everything will be fine.
I was about to go out as planned, when a sigh escaped my mouth. rilyn, Im sorry about this, but I think Ill stay ho instead. For so strange reason, I had lost my appetite and didnt feel like eating anything. I slowly closed my eyes as an intense fatigue overwheld .

Lady Jubelian!
I jolted awake at the sound of soone calling my na. When I opened my eyes, I found that I wasnt in my room.
.
Ah, I dozed off at Roses tea party.Perhaps it was because I havent been sleeping well lately, but oftentis, I would stare off into space and eventually doze off. When I looked around, I could see Veronica looking at
with a pout.
Wake up, Lady Floyen. You fell asleep in the middle of a conversation.
It had already been two months since I had passed the test to beco a mber of the tea tasting party. I had attended four tea parties since then, and had beco quite close to the other mbers.
My father has been quiet lately, and theres still no news from MaxI had no idea that a while was going to end up becoming two months. Maybe this was why everything around
felt calm.
Im telling you, Sir Nathan was slapped in the face by his fiance, Lady Swan.
Oh my goodness. Why?
I heard that he was seeing Lady Swans cousin behind her back!
I guess it wasnt all that quiet. At any rate, the important thing was that my father wasnt interfering with my relationship with Max these days. Moreover, I didnt have a clue if my blind date with the crown prince had been cancelled or not, but there hadnt been any ntions of it since he had returned to the capital.
Should I be glad about this?I wondered as I took a biscuit and put it in my mouth. The saltiness of the biscuit made the sweetness much more prominent in flavor.Max would like this.Unlike , the other mbers were chatting away without sparing a glance at the biscuits.
Her Royal Highness coming-of-age will be soon, soone noted at that mont. I stopped eating and began to focus on the conversation.
Is her coming-of-age ceremony already in about a month and a fortnight?Originally, I was going to be slapped at the banquet by the royal princess for grabbing a ladys hair and causing a scene. I was to beco the first victim of Beatrice, the royal princess known to be direct and straight-forward.Well, as long as I stay like this, I think things will be okay. Mikhail has been quiet as well,I thought, when I heard an excited voice.
Thats what Im saying. Im already wondering what kind of dress I should wear to the banquet.
Youll be at risk if you dress up too fancily. If you end up catching the crown princes eyes, then
Im scared just thinking about it.
Alright. I should dress as plainly as possible that day as well.With this thought in mind, I waited for the tea tasting party to conclude, when the door burst open and soone rushed into the drawing room while making a big fuss.
