A gorgeous stage was present.

Luxurious feast was prepared and champagne flutes were handed out freely.

Wandering around in the splendidly decorated dance hall were colorful and fashionable dresses and fine quality tuxedos complete with the tailcoats.

It was well-known throughout the world that socializing was formed at this one venue. In turns, it could not be made light of.

If I had been an ordinary child, I would have been overwhelmed at first glance of the dazzling lights. Or had I been a simple-minded person and improperly frolicking about.

However, I was a genius.

Now, I must make it known that I differed from those type of children.*

As per my duty as an element to this dazzling venue, I, Christina Noir, would shine and show off my existence. For that purpose alone, I gracefully pulled one of my legs inwards and back, gently bending the other one’s knee and with both hands pinched and lightly lifted the hem of my skirt, then bow.

“It is my first time meeting you.

I am the firstborn of the Noir family, Christina Noir.”

I had already done it multitudes of times, yet still I performed a perfect curtsy without a trace of distress in front of a well-built male while giving out a broad smile.

“This was very polite of you. I am Istal family’s, Augustine Istal.”

“Istal family’s Augustine-sama…… oh my!” My father had a relation to Augustine-sama during his student times.

For children at my age to fluently engaging an adult in conversation was unusual. But, generally it was limited due to predetermined phrases. Being able to correctly guessed familial relationships just by hearing the name; I must have been a real genius after all.

Seeing the little girl before him was able not to only smoothly carried out greetings, but also had initiating small talk, Earl Istal was also surprised.

“That is right. However, I’m pleasantly surprised. You have such an elegance and loveliness. Yet to possess such intelligence, refinement, and experience, then to actually conducting yourself no less than an adult, it was just simply very impressive. I’m envious of Sir Noir for him to be blessed with such a wonderful daughter!”

“No, no, there is no such thing. Not, really. Right, Christina?”

My smiling father who had answered Earl Istal, for some unknown reason twitched slightly.

I wondered why.

After I, the perfect lady, caught my father’s eyes, he perfectly performed a greetings then offering a topic of discussion.

Christina? For really? That’s terrible.

Being ignored like that by her own father, the daughter would very much be wounded. Instead, I gracefully casting my eyes down, taking advantage of father’s modesty by acting embarrassed.

“Yes. I have only begun to study. I cannot help but to worry if I’ve properly performed my etiquette. According to Augustine-sama’s eyes, how was my performance?”

“A lady beyond Christina Ojou-sama cannot be found even in those of age ladies! Your father here, who is not quite ready for his daughter’s debut, actually used the excuses of ‘her unlady-like side cannot be cured’, but that has been cleared out now, oh my. When your modesty is so great, it can also be seen as sarcasm, Miss Noir!”
