Cordelia stopped apologising half-way through because she recognised Shelleys figure at the corner of her eye. Clive also glanced at where she was looking since she had stopped speaking unnaturally.

Earl Cyldereines daughter? It would be best if you stayed away from her.

Yes, I think so too. But shes acting a bit strange, isnt she?

Shelley and Cordelias eyes met for a moment. Shelley threw a strong smile at Cordelia and said something to the waitress who was preparing the drinks. Cordelia didnt know what Shelley had said, but the waitress seemed troubled.

Cordelia-sama, are you going over there?

Yes.

Its not something you should poke your nose into. Moreover, its her.

But Ive also prepared for complaints at the store, so I might be of help. Besides, it would be better to settle this before His Highness shows up, right?

Clive sighed at Cordelias query. It was fortunate for her since he didnt refute.

Then, Clive-sama. Ill see you later.

Then, Cordelia turned her back to Clive.

(Shelley recognised me and is up to something. I dont want to tempt her, but shes troubling others. I just cant leave this alone.)

Considering the actions that Shelley has taken until now, her public attacks will be trivial. She will either get me involved while falling, say rude things to me, or deliberately step on my dress like she did last time Those were the actions that immediately came to Cordelias mind. She wasnt 『Cordelia』, and Shelley wasnt going crazy, so she should be able to handle it calmly.

When she got close enough to Shelley to be able to talk to her, her gaze clashed with Shelleys blue eyes. Seeing Shelleys provocative smile, Cordelia felt like Shelley was going to do something after all and put up her guard ―――.

But who would have expected that multiple glasses would come flying towards her?

Cordelia realised that Shelley had done this when the cold liquid slid down her skin. Fortunately, the liquid was juice and not wine, but it had still gotten all over her face and dress. The glasses shattered when they hit the ground, and the sound unexpectedly echoed well around her.

(This is! Normally anyone would be furious about this!)

Cordelia wiped her face before she spoke, and the people around her looked at her quietly.

(Im hogging all their attention.)

She could tell that everyone was looking at her while holding their breaths.

They may be able to understand the situation from the shattered glasses on the floor, the liquid on Cordelias face and dress, and from seeing Shelley hold the tray, but they couldnt comprehend why this situation had happened. Even Cordelia would have wondered what had happened if she saw this from an outsiders perspective.

Cordelia didnt miss the momentary look of accomplishment on Shelleys face, although Shelley seemed surprised.

(The Heroine didnt make this big of a blunder in the game.)

There was a scene in the game where the 『Heroine』crashed into『Cordelia』and spilled her drink on her. But it hadnt been as brash as this. 『Cordelia』, who had only received a slight injury, flew into a rage and had made unreasonable demands to the 『Heroine』, so she might have been the person who had attracted everyones attention instead.
