"Delighted, my name is Shuri von Neuschwantein". She says
"Happy to meet you Madam".I said
"No need to call me Madam just call me Shuri". she said smiling
"My has already gone to greet his friends from what I see"
"I will do the same then". I said bowing and passing in front of the Marquise
I have the impression that in this life Cayena is nicer than before. In my first life, she was a real viper he had horrible rumors about her and she did not hesitate to humiliate the people who loved not and hate like the daughter of Count Stephen.
She poured wine over his head at the debutante ball and the Duke excluded her from all events with the Stephen family.
'It was horrible but there she is calmer she even seems boring.' Says Shuri in her thoughts.
It's boring living in a manhwa there's not even internet. The only good thing is that the food is excellent.
'Madam Duchess, what are you doing here'. says a person who approaches me.
"Shuri what are you doing here, I thought of you with the guests". I said surprise.
"To be honest I can't find my place anywhere and I saw you alone so I told myself that with you I would be no less alone. And we're the same age, and when I met you, you weren't looking at me with an expression of disgust. But you can always leave if I bother you. Said she embarrassed and sad.
"Don't worry you can stay here and even if there are horrible rumors about you I prefer to check myself that the rumors are true and then you should never judge a book by its cover." I said as I looked at her.
"Thank you for your kindness. Could I call you Cayena?" she said with a smile.
"Yes, of course, Shuri". I said with a smile.
"I'd like to invite you to tea with me, you're in. She said, looking at me and smiling.
"Yes, with a plea-. Before I finished my sentence, Shuri was called by his Highness the Prince.
We bow before His Majesty.
'What are you doing here, your highness'. I say with a surprised fake face
'I am hiding,' he said. 'I would like a drink with the Marquise, please. He says, looking at me,
I look at Shuri and then the Prince and then I understand the situation.
"Then I'll take my leave. I'll bow down a little and go to the main room.
A few minutes later
I see a crowd of people around a room. And I decide to ask a person next to me.
"Is it me, but what happened here? Say, I worry by asking a nobleman.
"A dispute between children". Said the nobleman, pointing at the scene.
'Oh yes, I remember this scene. To be honest I'm a little tired and I guess my father has to wait for me in the carriage'
I come out of the mansion and see the carriage. A knight opens my door and then helps me get in.
"Are you finally here? I was getting impatient." He said, looking out the window.
"Excuse me, for making you wait so long. I said sitting in front of him.
On the way I look out the window and wait for my father to ask me a question
"Cayena, would you be able to take care of the HILL Hotel's 50th anniversary?" he said, looking out the window.
'I don't know what he's talking about, but it sounds important, but if he asks me, it's because he trusts me to ask such a question and his daughter must love this event more than I am after all his daughter, but this body makes strange reactions like when her highness looked at me. Her body seemed terrified and she was suspicious'.
"Cayena". He said
"Excuse me, Father, I was in my thoughts. What was your question. Say I come to my senses.
My question is whether you feel able to complete the 50th anniversary of the HILL hotel. He says
"I don't think I'm capable of making these events that are so important." Say I playing with my hands and one avoids his look.
"You're almost an adult and I'd like to test you. He says
"And if I fail," I said in a worried and uneasy voice.
"I will marry you to one of the nobles I have chosen. How your future fiancé takes over the hotel and all your mother's possessions." He said to me.
"So if I fail, he will marry one of these nobles and give him all of his wife's property. I squeeze my hand, bite my lip and narrow my eyes.
"I accept, Father". I said looking out the window.
"Then it's settled," he said, taking back the book he had in his hand.
Arriving at the manor I climb the stairs and head for the bathroom. I go out of the bathroom and put on my nightgown then I go to my bed to lie down and directly sleep.
