"Lady Veronica, would you like to go out with me someday?"

''Oh, I would love to! When do you want to go out?"

"Let's make it soon." Mikhail, who was chatting with Veronica, stared at Juvellian.

'Now, what would be her reaction.'

Strangely, Juvellian was only drinking tea peacefully without a care in the world) 'Why won't you look at me?'

Mikhail felt frustrated due to her indifferent behaviour.

'Why would she engage with those nobles.'

It made his dissatisfaction towards Juvellian rise.

"Oh and I have a suggestion." When Rose spoke up, everyone at the tea party shifted their attention to her at once. It was nerve-wracking, Rose continued her speech with her cheeks dyed with a rosy color "Well, I would like to invite Princess Floyen to be a new member of our tea tasting club. So I would like to ask the member's opinion on the matter. What do you think?" As soon as she finished speaking, two young noble girls chattered for a bit and said: "Oh, I like it!''

''Me too!''

Both Ladies had a positive opinion towards Juvellian since she gave them the name of the Seamstress's shop. Then the expression of Juvellian face which has been static, changed subtly.

"Ah, I am...." Mikhail, who had been looking at the expression for quite some time, could infer her feelings, even if no one else knew it. Though she was embarrassed and shy, her face was full of joy. And it was the very face that Mikhail had so long wanted to see again.

Mikhail, who had been observing her expression for quite some time, could then figure how she was feeling, even if no one else knew of it.

'Why do you make such a face to those women, but not to me?'

It was when Mikhail, who was overwhelmed with dismay, stared blankly at Juvellian.

"I disagree!" At that moment, the faint smile on Juvellian's face disappeared.

Mikhail, who saw the change, felt the inner part of his chest tingling.

'It was always like that when I treated her coldly.'

Upon realizing that, Mikhail felt angry at Veronica, who threw a vote against him.

'Nothing special.'

Veronica noticed the scary gaze.

"I'm not unwillingly against it.... There are conditions to join our tasting party!" She says while keeping her composure. The members nodded their heads as to show they were agreeing of the remark.

"Well, that's undeniable.''

"That's true. We did it when we first formed the group," Rose sighed and opened her mouth.

"Princess, actually, we have a condition to join." Even to those words, Juvellian replied as if nothing was wrong.

"Oh, yes. If I don't qualify, I can't help it. You don't have to mind." Those calm words struck Mikhail as if hinting at him of the past

Mikhail opened his mouth without thinking.

"You'd better listen to it first and then decide." At Mikhail's words, Juvellian's eyes began to shake faintly. At that expression, Mikhail smiled with satisfaction.

I was so embarrassed that I glared at Mikhail.

'No, why does that human intervene in other people's affairs?'
