Lady Veronica, would you like to go out with
soti?
Oh my, yes! I would love to! When should we?
Lets decide after seeing when we both have ti to et. Mikhail, who was conversing with Veronica, glanced over towards Jubelian.
Now then, its about ti for her to reactStrangely enough, Jubelian was no longer sneaking any glances at him and was just quietly drinking her tea. Veronica, you have sothing here, he added on.
Ah yes. T-thank you, Veronica blushed while Mikhail smiled at her. Then he turned to Jubelian again and slightly squinted his eyes.
Thats strange.Although he had done more than enough to make Jubelian cause a great fuss, she didnt show any reactions.Why? Why isnt she looking at ?Mikhail felt anger bubble violently inside of him at Jubelians indifferent behavior.She gives attention to re commoners like that man, but isntMikhail started feeling resentnt towards her.
Ah, I would like to suggest one more thing, Rose spoke up, blushing from the attention as the mbers of the tea party turned towards her in unison. Its nothing much, but I wanted to invite Lady Floyen to be a new mber of our tea tasting parties. Id like to ask for your opinions about this. What does everyone think?
As soon as she finished speaking, the other two ladies spoke up excitedly.
Oh my goodness, I would love to have her! one said.
too! the other exclaid. Since Jubelian had told them which dress shop she ordered her white dress from, they viewed her in a positive light. At their responses, there was a slight change in Jubelians face, which had remained still until now.
Oh, I Mikhail, who had seen this expression several tis, could tell what she was thinking. Although it was a face that showed embarrassnt and shyness, it was filled with joy. It was the expression that Mikhail had so badly wanted to see again.
How co she showed that face to won like them but not to ?Overwheld with devastation, Mikhail stared blankly at Jubelian.
I disagree, a voice spoke at that mont causing the faint smile on Jubelians face to disappear. Mikhail, who witnessed the change, felt his heart ache.
She always did that when I was being cold to her as well.Upon realizing this, Mikhail felt angry at Veronica for voting against her.This good-for-nothing woman.However, Veronica continued talking, as if she didnt notice his ferocious gaze.
Im not against it for no reason We have requirents that must be t for soone to join!
Seeming convinced, the mbers nodded their heads.
Well, thats an undeniable fact.
Youre right. We decided on that when we first ford the group.
Rose let out a sigh. Lady Floyen, there are so conditions you must et before you can join.
At those words, Jubelian replied as if nothing was wrong. Oh, yes. It cant be helped if I dont qualify. You dont have to worry.
Mikhail felt a sense of dj vu at her calm words.
Oh, if you have training, then I guess it cant be helped. You dont have to worry about it,she had said.
Recalling this mory, Mikhail opened his mouth without thinking. I think its better if you hear the requirents first before making a decision.
Jubelians eyes shook faintly when she heard his words. Seeing her expression, Mikhail smiled with satisfaction.

Feeling extrely flustered, I glared at Mikhail.Wait, why is that guy interfering in other peoples business?Of course, I was excited when I was invited to join the group. It was my first ti as Jubelian where noblewon my age showed goodwill towards . However, due to my situation, I couldnt fully enjoy their kindness.
Right now, Im in a situation where it wouldnt be weird if I were thrown out of the group at any mont.Having decided to reject the offer, I waited for Rose to speak up when sothing caught my eye.
When did he get out?I inhaled sharply. I had asked Max to quietly wait for , but he was now staring at
from the top of a tree. I felt suffocated by such a sight.If the people here notice him as well that will be the end of my life.Max was currently posing as my lover. If others discovered that he was climbing trees to peek at the banquet, my father would surely say, Are you going to continue dating that ill-mannered guy? It would be better for you to marry the crown prince.
Thinking about how my life might end, I took a deep breath.
Lady Floyen, did you hear what I said just now? Rose asked.
I nodded at Roses question. Of course.
Oh, so youre alright with the requirents?
Ah, yes. Rose and the other noblewon smiled brightly at my answer.
Wow, Ill be looking forward to it.
Likewise. I wonder what kind of special tea you will prepare
Huh? What tea?I was dumbfounded when I heard their words.
