Chapter 130 (2/2)

While the partic.i.p.ants ate, Rebeccsan continued talking.

「My, is that true!?」

「I am so happy to hear that~ I would definitely like to ask for them!」

「Of course, I would like to take them home as well!」

Thereupon, the madams unanimously desired the recipes.

Winning the madams like this and building up their friendship with me. That was the purpose of today’s tea party.

To begin with, a great number of letters have apparently arrived at the Ruven House from people that intended to get close to me after the audience with His Majesty.

It was

was possible to decline and not get in contact with those people, but Matthias-san and Rebeccsan told me that rather than poorly hiding, it would be better to build up a friendship with them.

Thus, today’s tea party was carried out as we are starting by winning over the women with sweets. Well, the people that are here today are people whom Rebeccsan has a good relationship with, so I expected there wouldn’t be any problems. It appears we were able to grasp their hearts.

「U, umm……」

「Is something the matter?」

As the second half of the tea party approached and the inquiries about sweets came to an end, a girl of around thirteen or fourteen years of age called out to me.

「My name is Lilika Stanval」

「Thank you for your politeness. I am sorry for my late introductions, I am called Tak.u.mi. So, what is the matter?」

「I wanted to thank you, Tak.u.mi-sama」

「Thank me?」

I don’t know any n.o.ble young ladies. Therefore, this should be our first meeting.

N~ I don’t recall ever hearing a house name Stanval either. Someone like her wants to thank me?

「Yes! Thank you very much for giving me a Pastel Rabbit. I have always wanted to keep one」

「Ah!」

She’s one of the people who received the Pastel Rabbits from Matthias-san.

「My! Liliksama got a Pastel Rabbit? Me too!」
