Chapter 70


    The next day, about an hour after lunch.


    Cecil, one of Juliannasdies-in-waiting, came to visit Lelia. She couldnt even make eye contact with Lelia, and lowered her gaze shyly.


    Princess Julianna would like to invite Sir Raymond to a tea party. Can you pleasee to the princesss pce in an hour or so? she asked.


    Oh A tea party


    As Lelia hesitated, the young woman fretted that she might hear a refusal.


    All right. Oh, can I go with Sir Ruth?


    When Lelia asked that question, the youngdy quickly shook her head in relief.


    Its not possible. Todays tea party is a very private and small group. She wants you toe alone, Sir Raymond.


    All right


    Lelia nodded her head reluctantly, and thedy-in-waiting gave a little smile and walked away.


    [A small private tea party.]


    She was worried when she heard that its a private affair, but it was an opportunity.


    But Lelia was still feeling conflicted after Ruths visit.


    He came early in the morning and gave Lelia several books.


    They had titles like; , , , and so on


    They were all very simr books.


    Ruth handed her these books and stated, Sir Raymond, you must win the hearts of Princess Juliannasdies-in-waiting. You must be a very carefree womanizer.


    All right


    Ah! However, you must not cross the line. If you ever harass ady or hurt her heart, I wont let it go!


    Ruth suddenly stared at Lelia with his righteous eyes, as if she had be a rogue.


    [What?]


    He was so absurd that it made Lelia speechless.


    .


    Of course, Sir Raymond, isnt like that. Im saying this just in case.


    She wanted to swear at him, but Lelia held back.


    She wanted to make a baldness pill from the recipes in the Alchemy Lottery menu and feed it to him. When she imagined a bald Ruth being abandoned by Princess Julianna, she felt a little refreshed.


    Anyway Lelia really had no intention of flirting with any of the girls.


    [But I can pretend that Im a womanizer.]


    It was enough for her to brag about how many women she had been involved with.


    [I just have to avoid being caught.]


    This was an opportunity. If its a small tea party, she will have enough time to talk with Princess Julianna.


    If she praises Ruth a lot in front of her, Princess Julianna will like Ruth even more. She just needs to increase Ruths reputation while at the party.


    [I willpliment him a lot in front of the Princess today, so go confess immediately. Its my chance to end this quickly.]


    Lelia firmly made up her mind and started to move to her closet. But just then, someone knocked on her door.


    When she opened the door, it was Romeo and Kalix standing outside. Looking at their outfits, it seemed like the two of them were going somewhere.


    Where are you going?


    I have business. I just wanted to inform you, in case you came to look for us.


    At Romeos words, Lelia nodded her head and said ah!.


    Can you help me for a second? Princess Julianna invited me to a small tea party Please help me choose an outfit.


    What kind of clothes? Do you want to dress like a yboy?


    Kalix asked, holding back hisughter, while Lelia red at him.


    Okay, Ill choose something for you.


    Romeo confidently walked towards the wardrobe and selected a few clothing items.


    The clothes he chose were neat and elegant.


    When Lelia changed her clothes and came out, Romeo tied her cravat for her.


    Kalix leaned against the door and watched them with narrowed eyes.


    No matter how much he looked at her, there were too many simrities between Lelia and Leo. There were many things that made her look like Leo as a child.


    The expressions she makes and eyes


    Are cousins really that simr?


    [T/N: Brain cells, Kalix. Utilize your brain cells T_T]


    Kalix recalled his uncles children from his memories, and realized that it was too much of a coincidence. It may vary from person to person, but he didnt look like his cousins at all.


    Be it appearance, or personality.


    He didnt even get along with his cousins in the first ce like Leo and Lelia did. Kalix and his cousins were more enemies than family.


    By now, they must be very happy that I am going blind.


    He snorted inwardly.


    How is it?


    Lelia asked with a nervous expression after she dressed up in the outfit Romeo picked.


    You look like a heartbreaker.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Lelia opened her eyes wide at Kalixs words


    She looked just like an angry chipmunk. Kalix tried to hold back hisughter, but a chuckle escaped.


    Lelia was quiet for a bit while she held in her anger, then she thanked Romeo for his help. She asked the two of them onest time before she left.


    Are you two popr with women? How can I look like someone who has been in a lot of rtionships?


    It was a question she asked because she had to go to a tea party right away and act like she was experienced. They were so popr with women that they were featured in private magazines, so they must have a lot of tips.


    We are popr, but


    Romeo mumbled.


    Kalix had a sad expression on his face.


    Unfortunately, I have never been in a rtionship, so I dont know. Hes actually a little afraid of women


    Hey!


    Kalix shouted. His cheeks began to turn red.


    [T/N: Cute Kalix moment!]


    Romeoughed like a viin. Kalix angrily grabbed him by the back of his neck and dragged him away.


    Lelia swallowed herughter and watched the two of them walking away.


    Shed heard there are many people who have experienced hardships from the war with the light Dragon without realizing it.


    Her friends seemed to be the exception.


    Kalix is still afraid of women.


    No wonder.


    Kalix seemed to be a little morefortable with her than before, since she began to disguise herself as a man.


    ***


    Before her departure, Lelia ingested the pill she created that changes the timber of her voice.


    When her voice sounded a little lower than usual, her mind calmed.


    She was at a big party yesterday, so she didnt have to talk too much. She made do with short answers.


    [But if its a small party, I will probably have to talk more.]


    After checking her slightly lowered voice several times, Lelia went to Princess Juliannas pce with the bouquet she had asked her attendant to bring.


    [Its amazing.]


    Princess Juliannas residence was a newly built building on the west side of the pce, and it was very luxurious.


    The exterior was so beautiful that her mouth gaped open, but the interior was even more beautifully decorated.


    [Its more morous than what she realized.]


    Lelia felt like she was going crazy for no reason.


    She was absolutely boggled by the whole ce, especially when she saw therge crystal statue of a knight inside the entrance of the pce. It was a crystal knight with a sword, and it seemed to symbolically protect Princess Juliannas pce.


    Lelia felt nervous, as if the knights eyes were staring at her fiercely.


    Perhaps they made it that way on purpose.
