Chapter 30 (2/2)
“…..”
“Because it’s gotten a lot hotter. It will be summer soon.”
Artizea did not answer. But her cheeks were a little red.
Sophie became satisfied. The bracelet was fine, and it was good that the Lady was engaged to a nice man. And more than that, it was good that Artizea’s face changed like a girl when she talked about it.
***
Guests had already arrived on the terrace.

Among them, Artizea and Miel, the daughter of Keshore, were the only ones that were really acquainted. Artizea was the first to greet her among the other four guests.
“Welcome, Lady Miel.”
“Hello, Lady Artizea. I’m glad you invited me here.”
Miel smiled brightly, greeted and held Artizea’s hand.
“How are you today?”
“Maybe because of the good weather, I’m in great shape. I can even accept Lady Artizea’s invitation like this. I used the bath product that you gave me last time. Once I put it in the water, afterwards, my hands and feet were so nice and warm. I was able to walk for a long time.”
“Even in the hot weather, I feel much better after some warm water.”
“Thank you for always taking care of me. I don’t know if my father fully conveyed my gratitude. Oh, this is my cousin Hazel.”
The girl who was waiting next to Miel greeted her with a reddish face.

“Hello, Lady Rosan.”
“It’s nice to meet you. I am Artizea Rosan.”
Artizea bowed politely, bending slowly at the waist.
“Thank you for inviting me. I really wanted to meet you.”
Hazel greeted her as if she was seeing a childhood friend whom she hasn’t seen in years.
Neither Miel nor Artizea knew much of the guests because they were hardly socializing.
The other guests who were invited this time were introduced by Hazel, as the two people had a small social range. All were girls of marriageable age.
Of course, they weren’t really unknown to Artizea.
She knew most of the socialites, so she had basic information about all the guests.

Some of these people didn’t have any special biographies, but some would become a noble lady in the future.
Artizea was particularly interested in Hazel.
Hazel was intelligent, had a good memory, and was sociable. And was rather snobbish.
She knew that Hazel would show off her personal connections without being offensive, and she was also a player in spreading news.
She wasn’t a bad person to get close to.
Artizea and the guests sat down. All the guests looked at her outfit and the mansion with twinkling eyes.
Although Artizea’s dress looked modest, it was made of luxurious cotton fabric.
The undecorated design looked rather classy, and the diamond bracelet over her slender wrist was rather emphasized.
The eyes of some of the guests quietly passed through the bracelet. It seemed to be the bracelet that was widely rumored to be given by Cedric as an engagement gift.

As news of their engagement came out in a newspaper article, two-line diamond bracelets became popular as a gesture for love in the last month.
Wasn’t it a gem whose name circulated as the Saintess Olga’s heart, that started the incident?
It was not just diamond bracelets, a second line of crystal bracelets that were being sold at a commoner’s price was also being used as a gift for marriage proposals and was thus being sold in large quantities.
“So it turns out that Sir Alphonse isn’t here. I heard that he’s always around.”
Someone asked with curiosity.
It was also a famous story that Cedric sent the strongest and most reliable man among the Knights of Evron to Artizea.
“Yes. He’s not here today because he’s on urgent business.”
It was then. A maid came running to her.
“Lady! Lady!”

“What are you making such a fuss about? Can’t you see the guests?”
Artizea rebuked the maid. But the maid said urgently, turning pale.
“The Madam is back!”
There was a loud noise from outside. She heard Bill yelling and someone screaming.
Artizea stood up from her seat at a slow pace. It was because she didn’t want to look strange to others.
“I’m sorry, I’ll be away for a moment.”
“Ah yes.”
Miel had a pale face, not knowing what to do.
It was when Artizea had just opened the terrace door. Miraila was right there.

“Mother.”
Miraila looked at Artizea with an angry face.
From behind, a maid was clinging onto the hem of Miraila’s dress after repeatedly informing her that Artizea was entertaining guests.
Artizea laid her eyes down with a calm face.
Miraila’s gaze glanced from head to toe. After that, she saw the flowers and lace on the terrace.
“There are rumors that you caught a man and you’ve been very spoiled.”
Miraila said sharply.
