Chapter 217 - The Debutante Ball (2/2)

[Is it because her brother and sister in law are floating right next to us...? And shouldn't secuirty be better?]

John wanted to find his party before leaving the kids in their room, he just didn't know how.

As they reached one of the tables with food, The two stopped and John managed to get a good look around.

[First let's pry into some conversations]

Lydia watched John trying to understand what he was planning or doing but had no luck. Before she even realised it, her stomach let out a small growl

*Grooowl*

She quickly turned to John before letting out a sigh as she realised that he didn't notice, but suddenly he mentioned it.

”Why don't we grab a bite?” He asked before turning to the table

For a moment, just a single moment, Lydia screamed of embarrassment in her head, before doing the same. Fortunately for her, her smile didn't let out or disappear.

John looked at the table and checked it's contents while listening in on the nearby conversations.

”For both the duke and the earl to create a party... This is an interesting turn.”

”The earl's 2nd daughter has yet to make an appearance...”

”And that boy over there... I've never heard or seen him before; what rank is he?”

Before john could hear anything else, he realised Lydia was waiting for him, so he quickly got what he wanted.

There was cake, cupcakes, biscuits, and all sort of other simple meals. To john's surprise, there was a croissant which he ended up getting along with a bit of chocolate.

[Whoever brought these ideas, sure knew what they were doing. That's if they were brought by a single person. I wonder just how many people have been reincarnated to this world...]

”Lydia, aren't you going to get anything?” John asked

”B-but, I'm just a maid...”

”So you've decided to go with it? I thought you wouldn't want to since you never gave me the answer back then...” John muttered as he took a bite of his croissant

It was nice and crusty, or rather, it was really good. So good that John was taken back for a moment

”Of course, it's a great offer...” Lydia muttered with an embarrassed expression

”Don't worry, you may be my maid but that's only for the future and when we get back, so for now, enjoy yourself and worry about that later.” Said John as he took another bite

”Is that really fine?” She asked

”Of course, you have the consent of your future master or employee after all.”

”Is that you, John?” Asked a familiar voice

John turned to see who it was and when he did, his face was filled with surprise.

It was Zakaragi and Tiana
