Isn't Being A Wicked Woman Much Better?

At this moment, the main topic of the ladies' gathering was the debutante.

This is because the role of seniors, that is, ladies who are good at guiding first-year students who have just debuted into the social world, was important.

Furthermore, the number of requests they received from young ladies to act as chaperones demonstrated the popularity and status of ladies in the social world.

After the significant incident of the incense ceremony, the Duchess of Orge organized a tea party with the aim of changing the mood.

"Informal tea party, please!"

"The third young Marchioness of Atlante has already reached the age to debut in the world of society. It feels like she was singing in the children's choir just yesterday."

"Already? Time passes so quickly."

"Yes. This year, the second daughter of Count Nora has also grown a lot. Both are close families, so I worry about which young man to respond to."

In the face of the Duchess of Orge's discreet pride, the ladies' eyes gradually narrowed.

"It hasn't been long since the ceremony ended, but it means she has already received two offers to be a chaperone."

Duchess Orge liked to boast about her popularity, and the ladies chimed in.

As the conversation continued, a certain lady took a piece of cake decorated with red flowers and suddenly spoke up.

"The Flower of the Year is Duke Visconti, isn't it?"

"A young man, not a young lady, is the Flower of the Year. It's really amusing."

"I can't keep up with the thinking of young people these days."

The duchess approached and murmured.

"So, what about the choice of companion that Duke Visconti received?"

"I heard that Duke Visconti gave the Flower of the Year to Princess Deborah."

An uncomfortable silence hung over the table for a moment. Because an imperial order couldn't be rejected.

The lady chosen by the Flower of the Year is usually envied, but this time it was an undesirable atmosphere.

"Princess Deborah has a personality..."

"It's not easy."

"What kind of lady did the princess choose as her companion?"

"There are rumors that it's the Marchioness of Baslein."

"Oh."

The Duchess of Orge contained her laughter, almost bursting out.

"Fortunately, the troublesome girl went there."

Duchess Orge, who was not satisfied that not even a duchess but only a marchioness was ranked alongside her as a member of high society, made a fuss while showing her sympathy.

"Even the Marchioness of Baslein, who has a good personality, won't be able to keep composure this time. She won't be able to avoid scolding, even if it's in her home."

"True."

"How dazzling will she look at her debutante...?"

"That wouldn't suit the Marchioness of Baslein, who likes to be humble."

"It seems like she's already cracking."

Other ladies also responded, pretending to be sad. Perhaps all noblewomen felt pity for the Marchioness Baslein.
