“Lady! Please come out quickly!”
Filina, who was quietly sipping tea in her bedroom, had to take tiresome steps at the loud call.
As she walked down the long corridor and down the stairs, she saw the servants and maids gathered in front of the door.
“What’s going on?”
As Filina approached, the noisy crowd parted.
Then she saw Amy and Ariel talking to each other, looking at the basket of flowers on the table.
“What are the flowers for?”
She asked with a curious look as she approached Amy, and Amy held out the card from the flower basket to Filina.
“You took the man your mother introduced to your sister?”
Amy said pathetically and shook her head.
Then she gently stroked Ariel’s creamy hair, who was slumped down next to her with a sullen face.
“You don’t have to be disappointed by this, Ariel. Eddie is not the only man out there. I will introduce you to a better man at the next party.”
“Mother…. Lord Eddie looks better with sister then with me.”
Ariel smiled with an angelic face, her white cheeks flushed red.
Filina, who had been staring blankly at the scene, turned and read the card Amy gave her.
[I still remember your ruby jewel-like eyes. I’m sending you these flowers in anticipation of our next meeting. Eddie.]
It was from the son of Marquis Edwards who first spoke to Filina at the banquet.
She held up a basket of flowers on the table.
There were only all kinds of red flowers.
“It’s tacky.”
The servants and maids who had been watching her opened their mouths at Filina’s casual comment.
“Any other Young Ladies would have accepted the basket of flowers and blushed, calling it romantic.”
But with an indifferent expression, Filina turned away and called for the nearest servant. She held out the flower basket and said with a cold voice.
“Send it back.”
A puzzled look came over the servant’s face.
Everyone was staring at Filina with surprised faces.
Lord Eddie was not only young, but also good looking, so he was well-known among the noble young children.
“He might be young and doesn’t have much of a masculine vibe now, but surely if he matures later, people will fight to marry him. Our Young Lady will have a hard time.”
Various words were exchanged between the servants.
How could she send back a present? It clearly meant to reject him. It would be better not to respond at all.
If she were to change her mind later, she could say that she forgot to reply.
Amy, who was watching her from the side, snorted and spat out bluntly.
“Because you’re so arrogant, you haven’t been able to entice the Crown Prince yet.”
Amy, who had been trying so hard to force Filina to be with Prince Ian since she was a little girl, looked at her with a look of discontent.
