Chapter 170 (1/2)

170. Sanction 2

The party organizer who was stunned, shouted at the servants.

”Hurry, she might be injured!” (party organizer)

The height difference between the window and the garden is rather high for a delicate n.o.ble lady to jump off. It would be still fine if she only sprained her legs, but if it went poorly, she might've fractured her bones.

If rumors spread that a foreign n.o.ble girl was seriously injured, it would not be tolerated. After such denunciation, it's no wonder if all responsibility falls on him.

And, if the protest from her angry parents come via diplomatic route from the girl's home country…

Just by looking the pale expression that [Count Wonrade and Viscount Efred] have, everyone will be also have the same pale expression.

Apparently, it didn't seem to be very useful.

”Count…”

”Countess…”

When they realized, the host couple were already surrounded by a lot of party guests.

”What does this mean…. Can you explain why is that the talk that I was about to receive the high-quality liquor which is the specialty of Viscount Yamano's territory has been broken off?” (Guest A)

”She promised me to give me alcohol and exotic food on my birthday, but that has been canceled too? If you don't give me a proper explanation of who's to blame, I will not be convinced!!” (Guest B)

On the surface, the girl's expression seemed to be kind. However, no one knew it was a smirk of to hide her anger. And, that the girl was pretty… angry.

Outside of the crowds that were surrounding the party organizer, Marquis Mitch.e.l.l who has a relieved expression on his face was stroking his chest.

(…it was really fortunate that this is a party another faction…) (Marquis Mitch.e.l.l)

”Eh? Why does it suddenly …” (Secretary A)

Says the secretary of a certain mid-sized firm, stunned.

”Well, the young lady who is the wholesaler of our products was fooled, trapped, and about to be presented to a strange group of people by a certain Count family. All transactions with that n.o.ble family and their relatives are prohibited, and the same were applied to the companies who are doing business them… In addition, this seems to be applied not only to wholesale but also to retail. It's a matter of life and death if we were to be cut by the wholesaler who is our lifeline, so we have to follow her instruction you see, there's no one who can blame us for it right?” (Rephilia)

”Wha…” (Secretary A)

A few days later, the royal capital was in turmoil.
