"My seat was next to the organizer, Le Wellin. He is the best senior on both sides of the organizer. Since there is no one from the imperial palace, I, who is the highest rank here, fit in this place.

I sighed in relief that I wasn't messing with the seat.

"Thank you for accepting the invitation, Princess Krysis. Thanks to you, I think this place will shine today."

"It is a word of high praise."

Formal greetings as guests and participants were brief. In general, it was praised and the greetings had to be much longer.

Although I had already checked the guest list, I looked at the ladies who slowly sat down in front of the table.

She was a little proud that all the young women in this place wore body chains.

'Before me is Earl Hanel's miss, and the rest of the Earl or Baron's miss.'

Of course, there was no girl taller than me.

However, since the social world was not a place to be dominated by status, the young woman with the most power in the social world was by far Le Wellin.

The ladies, who greeted me briefly, looked at me as they spoke.

What struck me was mostly curiosity, or willingness, and unwillingness to see if it was okay to touch him at least once.

'...You must be a bit tired.'

It was my first social activity since my debut, so I thought it couldn't be helped to draw a lot of attention and get into trouble, but it was true that it was annoying to face.

He took a sip of milk tea and sighed.

'...Does Le Wellin hate me?'

I didn't care what other girls thought of me. The malice was familiar to me, and none of it was necessary to my plan.

However, if Le Wellin had malice in me, I would be disappointed.

I slowly rolled my eyes and looked at Le Wellin sitting next to me, and was amazed.

Le Wellin was looking at me.

What inhabited the green eyes was a keen observation, a long-standing sense of favor and a thrilling emotion.

Even when I met eyes, Le Wellin opened his eyes and stared at me, instead of avoiding my eyes. Those eyes were so heavy that I unknowingly avoided his gaze.

'You don't seem like you hate me, but...'

The eyes are quite heavy. Still, she wasn't sure if she knew he was the Sword Master.

I think you have doubts.

Although they looked at me, none spoke directly to me. Thanks to that, I emptied three cups of tea with no problem, and was eating the crunchy desserts that weren't too sweet, like Descartes' financial fortress.

"Ah! By the way, Miss Krysis...she looks very comfortable in her outfit."

A young lady, wearing a cute light purple dress, spoke to me in a low voice.

'When he pointed to one.'

I haven't even sighed anymore. She blinked freely and looked at myself.

A dark purple vest over a pure white shirt, a black harness on top of the vest, and a half palm black leather glove with half of the palm exposed. High-waisted black jodhpurs that fit my legs comfortably. A black coat over the shoulders.

It was an ordinary outfit that would never have been pointed out if it was a man.

"Right. It's very comfortable. Because I value simplicity and comfort."

I answered, pretending not to understand the secrets between the words.

I wasn't active in the social world, but after being adopted by the Duke of Krysis, I inevitably had to meet the nobles, and learned when to intertwine and when to listen as it is.

"Hmm! Still, Miss Descartes invited you to this beautiful garden, but I'm afraid it may not be polite attire. It's a man's clothes."

And when there was a dispute like this, it was better to listen how it is than to inquire into the truth of the words.

Until the frustrated opponent brings out his true intentions.

After I became a Krysis, every time I went out in pants, I listened to that to the point of boredom. It is not polite for a woman to wear pants.

'Even if I go to the same place with Carl wearing a couple outfit, they don't say a word to Carl and only say it to me.'

The reason why humans who couldn't even peep because I was afraid to walk the streets wearing only those clothes were so transparent that I felt nauseous.

Because I am a woman.

Something that I cannot choose and change with effort.

With a hard face, I gave a little force to the glass I was holding. The glass exposed to the sword master's hilt has been vibrating.

'What, what does it matter. Those humans will soon need me too.'

Some philosopher said that if the world abandons me, I will also abandon the world.

I was a little different.

The world has never had me. If the world does not want me, I will be indispensable to the world. Then the world will kiss my feet and make my existence pleasant.

Therefore, the headwinds hovering over my feet only tickled me.

"Miss Descartes. Have my clothes been rude to the tea party?"

The gossip left behind the young ladies talking to each other and I asked Le Wellin directly.

It was better to finish the tea party at once instead of going over and over the same thing.

Le Wellin looks at me. He didn't seem to hate me, but that didn't mean he would take my side in a situation when most of the ladies were hostile to me.

When I got the reply that it was rude, I thought I'd apologize neatly and be done. It was comfortable to kneel on something that wasn't too big.

"Nope."

And the response that came surprised me.

"It suits you, but I'm not sure why everyone says that."

Le Wellin laughed a little at me.

When I opened my eyes wide in amazement at the smile I first saw, he quickly erased his laughter.

"B-but is it still men's clothing?...""
