Since the Queen is the organizer of this tea party, the number of guests was higher than usual.
Though, this was the first time I participated in such a large-scale tea party held in the castle.
“Wah~ As expected, it’s so amazing. Am I really suited in this place?”
“You shouldn’t think like that. Anna is really cute, after all.”
“No! At a glance, of course, Violet-sama is the best. Moreover, as expected as Sara-san and the maids… They had done a very good job.”
Since we were moving together with our guide, we whispered to each other. Anna, who raised her voice full of admiration suddenly said that she was anxious. I replied to her honestly that she was going to be okay, but somehow, I got praised at the end.
Anna surprisingly acted the same as usual.
She was expressionless, so it was hard to notice it, but compared to the audience the other day, she was able to stay proud and seemed to already gain the resistance.

“Gddy…”
My worries were all gone and replaced by needless fear.
(As I thought, she was actually aiming for that… After all, she always glared at Sieg with sharp eyes.)
Well, it is not called slipping anymore if the fork is really thrown to a target.
His identity had been revealed before the development of the diplomacy issues, and I am really glad it turned out like that.
Feeling that some glances were prickling my back, I turned around and looked towards the garden. The ladies who matched with my eyes quickly diverted their sight.
Mostly, they must be curious about Anna who just became the daughter of a Count, but because I was with her, they didn’t dare to stay close.
In the middle of my thoughts, while I was walking, the guide led us to the Queen without hesitation. After that, he soon disappeared to guide the next guest.
“Ah, Miss Violet, thank you for coming.”
“Your Majesty, I am very honored as well to be invited to this tea party.”
“There is no problem. If I am not mistaken, you are—?”
“Greetings, Your Majesty. The other day, my father just gained the count title. I am Anna, the third daughter of Cellars Family.”
Both of them showed their courtesy.
When I raised my face, I could see Queen Sonia’s eyes, glittered golden eyes just like Al’s, and she was giving her full smile.
“I see, so that’s you. Fufufufu. The two of you, please enjoy the tea party today, okay? Our Albert is going to join later as well. Now, Miss Violet, please sit right here, and Miss Anna… can you take the seat next to her?”
And the seat that the Queen pointed to is right next to her.
It was just like drinking next to your own boss, which is awkward, and of course, I can’t refuse her.
I, who just decided to maximize my social skills that I had cultivated so far, together with Anna, sat obediently.
Gradually, the other ladies besides us started to take seats. The number of tables which could fill 10 people were all fully occupied.
“Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for coming to this tea party.”
Looking at the right timing, Sonia-sama slowly raised from her seat and made her greetings.
It was only a glance, but I saw that Lily-sama had arrived and she was seated on the next table from ours.
“Because all of you are ladies from the same age-group, please deepen your friendship in today’s event. Later, my son Albert will, of course, show up.”
Receiving those words from the Queen, for a moment, I felt that the ladies’ eyes were all sparkling suspiciously. I hoped it was only my imagination.
There were a lot of employees who replaced the old tea and sweets with the new ones. All of the aristocrat ladies didn’t neglect to check their outfits as they ate the sweets given while chatting with each other.
I was joining the conversation blandly, but in my mind, I remembered the first tea party I attended which was in Duke Richard Estate when I was little.
T/N: For those who celebrate, Happy Chinese New Year <3!! And Happy Valentine (in advance).
The story has gone this far!! I’ve read some of the comments and congratulations to those who guessed the heroine right <3 And you are right that Anna si older than Sieg but if I’m not mistaken, it is only a year gap.
Welp, see you next week :3 Ciao~

I am actually very curious about who is violet gonna end up with, this is the first time i read an isekai story that’s still blurry about who the ML is at this stage of the story, but what i concluded from the hints is that she may have feelings for both of them, and there’s a hint in what Sieg told her that he thought it wa one sided but was wrong about Al.. But if i have to guess i think she’s gonna end up with Theo since the summary said she wants to be a good mother to the villainess, in that case she have to follow the original story.. Well this is truly intriguing, am looking forward to future events.
