As preparations progressed for the exhibition, Cordelia visited Earl Hales mansion, where her friend Hazel resided. Because Hazel had sent her a letter inviting her over, The flowers in the garden are blooming beautifully, so I would like you to enjoy them too. Like the Pameradia House, the Hale House also welcomed the season of beautiful flowers.

Various flowers were also drawn on the card that was attached to the invitation, and Cordelia visited the Hale mansion with high expectations.

The garden, which she saw, was filled with a wider variety of flowers than shed imagined, and it was gorgeous. Spring is a really calm and beautiful season, she thought as she asked someone to convey a message to Hazel, at the entrance, and then she heard a large quarrel as if it was trying to spoil her mood.

Dahlia! Wait! You havent finished your studies, have you?!

Im going to be a knight! I cant be late for sword practice!

Cordelia looked up at the surprising interaction and saw Hazel and another girl appear on the second floor. Hazel grabbed the girls arm, but the other girl was stronger, so she shook off Hazels hand in no time. Cordelia widened her eyes.

(I wonder if thats Hazel-samas sister.)

The Hale House has Hazel as their eldest child and four other children.

Cordelia had only spoken to the small heir, their eldest son, but Hazel often boasted that they are all cute. I wonder if one of them is the person shes quarrelling with right now, she wondered, and the girl jumped from the railing.

Huh?!

Cordelias voice instinctively leaked out, and Hazel shouted at almost the same time, Stewart! In response to Hazels voice, the servant, who was receiving Cordelia, quickly moved and caught the falling girl.

Thats dangerous, Dahlia Ojou-sama.

Stewart! Stop getting in my way all the time!

But even if the girl named Dahlia shouted, the servant named Stewart didnt move. Meanwhile, Hazel walked down the stairs in a grand manner. Her back seemed to be clad in a dark aura.

Fufufu, you cant escape even if you try. At least, you wont be allowed to leave the house today unless you finish todays schedule!

But Ill be late for practice! Didnt Okaa-sama say it was fine as long as I come back!

Okaa-sama is too soft! The things you are doing now, Id already finished when I was 10!

Cordelia was flabbergasted as she watched the violent exchange, but soon, Stewart deliberately cleared his throat.

Ojou-sama, theres a guest.

The two girls hadnt noticed that there was a guest until he had said that.

How do you do, Hazel-sama? And little sister-sama.

Oh my, Cordelia-sama! Pardon me, welcome. Ah, this is my stupid sister, Dahlia Will Hale. Shes 12.

Unlike Hazel, who had a smile on her face like nothing significant had happened, Dahlia had an extremely uncomfortable expression.

Nice to meet you, Dahlia-sama.

Nice to meet you.

Dahlia answered while averting her gaze, and it was clear that she hadnt wanted anyone to see the previous scene. Hazel, on the other hand, felt as if shed received unexpected reinforcements and was overjoyed, she didnt have a bit of shyness or any reserve.

Now, come back, Dahlia. This all started because you wont study properly.

However, Dahlia snapped at Hazel.
