After a long week of practicing etiquette, Rera grasped what she could. The day of the Gunnhildr tea party has finally arrived. Rera had to rehearse her greetings and speech in front of her mirror. Rinea told her that she didn't have to use such fancy speech, so perhaps she could just be professional about it.
There was no theme for the tea party, so Rera just wore something simple yet elegant. A navy blue dress sewn with patterns and a white lace hem that slightly went past her knees. She wrapped a ribbon around her waist and tied the bow on her left hip. Placing her Electro Vision in the middle. She wore white gloves with small navy blue bows and white heels.
Rera wasn't sure if this style would be acceptable, but she saw no issues with what she wore. If anything, she looked good. Hearing a knock on the door, Rera turned and left her room.
Walking down the steps, Rera entered the foyer of the house. Rinea gasped in amazement and clapped upon seeing how adorable her daughter looked. Rinea had also worn navy blue clothing and matched with Rera.
"You look beautiful, Rera." Rinea smiled.
"Same goes for you...mother." Rera mumbled.
"Alright, just as we've practiced! Don't worry Rera, you've learned a lot. Don't let those nobles intimidate you. Just smile and come up with a clever comeback, okay?"
"Are you really telling me to insult people openly if they do it to me?"
"Yes! Well, as long as you don't do it to the three clans, then I suppose you should be fine if it were anyone else."
"Aww...I can't insult Diluc?"
"I don't think he'll be there, but if it was in general, then you may have to behave yourself as much as you hate it."
"Will father be there?"
"No, he has a commission to do. I heard it was from an important person."
"I hope he gets home safe..."
"He will my dear. Now then, let us get going."

(At the Gunnhildr house)
Arriving at the large estate, Rera looked around in awe. The Gunnhildr House was slightly bigger than the Roseweiss House yet still a sight to see.
The exterior of the House was sage green and white, the gardens were healthy, and the bushes portrayed the Gunnhildr crest. The interior has a mix of fern green, dark emerald, white, and a bit of black. The flooring was made of wood and shone in the light.
Rera and Rinea were escorted to the gardens and saw the surprised expressions on the guests' faces. It has been years since the Roseweiss last showed their faces to parties. Especially with all of the rumors about a child circulating.
"Good morning everyone. I hope my daughter and I are not late." Rinea smiled.
"No, you are right on time Lady Rinea." Frederica replied, "Please take a seat."
As Frederica and Rinea spoke, Rera could hear the not-so-quiet whispers of the other ladies.
"I did not expect her to show up..."
"That's her daughter? So the rumors are true?"
"They don't look remotely similar..."
"Is she adopted?"
"But those horns...she looks-"
"Oh my, it seems that you ladies are talking about something very interesting. Mind sharing?" Rinea spoke.
