// Martel's Tea Garden Party//


As usual, Georgina helped me get ready for the party. My hair was braided and I wore a lovely light pink dress. For a 13-year-old like me, it's a cute outfit. Georgina put some tiny floral accessories in my hair because it was a garden party.


"Lady Violet, I'll escort you to the Martel's estate", eh?


"Is it really necessary Sir Rufi? It will only take 10 minutes of walk to go there", malapit lang kasi ang bahay nila Candice saamin. Walking distance lang.


"You need to be escorted, Violet whether the destination is a 2-minute walk or farther. No is not an option", biglang dating ni Count Giobert, my father.


"Father...", so protective but I love it. He is quite similar to my father in the past. "Then, Sir Rufi, I'll be counting on you", Sir Rufino Ser is my father's personal knight.


"Bye, father"


"Enjoy Violet and see you later. Keep safe", hinatid pa ko sa labas ng gate ni Count Giobert, I'm so touched.


"Shall we head now, young miss?", Sir Rufi.


"Please lead the way", ani ko pero bago ako tumalikod pahapyaw kong nakita si Cyan. He was smiling suspiscously. May binabalak nanaman yun na kagaguhan.


Cyan is already 18 pero bakit mas lumalala yung mga trip niya sa buhay.


"Young miss, enjoy the party. I'll be heading back to the estate for now. What time are you planning to head back?", Sir Rufi.


"Around 2 o'clock"


"I understand"


Umalis na si Sir Rufi nang maihatid niya ako sa bahay nila Candice. Malapit lang talaga saamin. I don't know, sa katamaran ata nung author ay magkakalapit lang mga bahay dito sa capital. Kaya nga pwede kong lakarin. 


"Violet", salubong saakin ni Candice.


"I humbly thank you for inviting me today, Lady Candice", I greet and curtsy.


"I am also pleased for accepting my invitation, Lady Violet", she curtsied.


And after that, we laughed at ourselves. Since there are other people here, we must follow the custom of being a Merriole noble ladylike. It's suffocating, but hell, we do not have a choice. As young nobles, we must maintain an elegant appearance at all times, but we agreed that when we are both together, we're just going to act and talk comfortably.


I'm just glad that I have met Candice in this crazy world.


The garden party had already started. Of course, as a foodie, I indulged myself with the food that the Martel family prepared.
