The evening party ended in great success.

Cordelia was relieved that all the guests had left the Pameradia House with smiles on their faces because of the gifts. Then, she quickly went to bed after she cleaned up.

She was more tired from the party than she thought she would be, and it didnt take her long to fall asleep.

Still, she woke up somewhat earlier than she usually did.

She didnt feel as tired as the previous night, but her body still felt sluggish. However, she was wide awake because she was still nervous.

(Im having a tea party with Onee-sama today I must be careful not to let out a yawn.)

She wasnt on bad or good terms with Malvina. Just like with Cyrus and Isma a long time ago, she wasnt involved with Malvina. Malvina, unlike her brothers, had gotten married early and she didnt come home, so Cordelia didnt have the chance to get along with her. Therefore, she didnt know her personality well either.

(I might be able to get along with Onee-sama if I talk with her like I did with my Onii-samas, but well probably only talk about gossip since were only having tea together.)

Even if shes a quiet person, she probably wont run out of things to talk about. Im grateful for this opportunity since I can get to know what kind of person Onee-sama is.

(But its strange if I think about it. Onee-sama acted on behalf of Okaa-sama until she got married, but she never came back home after she married.)

Yesterday when she had spoken to Malvina, Cordelia felt that she had a gentle aura.Onee-sama is the one who invited me to drink tea with her in the first place, so I probably dont have to be on my guard.She thought, and prepared tea straight after she had a light breakfast.

Cordelia chose the greenhouse for the tea party. It was a building which hadnt been built when Malvina married, so she was sure that Malvina would enjoy it.

Then, after the preparations were done, Cordelia guided Malvina through the brightly lit greenhouse.

Malvina entered the greenhouse and sat down, then she looked a little troubled when she saw Emina, who was serving as their waitress, but immediately smiled nostalgically.

Its been a while, Emina. Even though I invited you to work here, I still cant get over the guilt.

What are you saying, Malvina-sama? As I have said a long time ago, I am happy. I am being paid a lot more than if I had worked at the market.

Oh my, so youre able to say things like that now?

Cordelia looked at the two who were smiling and recalled that Malvina was the person who had recommended that Emina work at the Pameradia House. They got on better than she thought they would.

The two didnt speak anymore than that, and Emina smiled and bowed before leaving the greenhouse.

It seems like Emina is worried that I wouldnt be able to talk to you if she was here.

Malvina picked up the cup and put it on her mouth.

Onee-sama. Thank you again for coming even though youre busy.

You dont have to worry that much. I came to congratulate you and say thank you.

Thank you?

Cordelia tilted her head and Malvina smiled wryly.

I want to thank you because of Otou-sama.

Because of Otou-sama?

Thats right. Otou-sama, the reason why I didnt come home at all after I married.
