Rufina-dono, youre here early.

Sylvester sent the guard away as he said that to the woman who had just appeared. This person was Sylvesters guest.

The woman named Rufina, who looked a little older than Cordelia and Sylvester, smiled provocatively.

Im sorry for interrupting your date. Even though you have someone like me

Cordelia couldnt help but widen her eyes at those words.

『Even though you have someone like me』.

What does that mean? ――― Before she could ask that question, Sylvester answered Rufina in a strong tone.

Please stop joking.

You dont have any humour.

Theres nothing humorous about a joke that doesnt make you laugh.

Really? By the way, is that red-eyed girl one of my brethren? Girl, Ill allow you to tell me your name.

I am Earl Pameradias daughter. My name is Cordelia Enna Pameradia.

Cordelia reflexively curtsied when prompted, but the word brethren bothered her a lot. She could guess that Rufina was from another kingdom from her accent, so she might have used the wrong word.

(But her status seems high.)

Judging from Sylvester-samas response, she must be royalty from another kingdom. Rufina turned to Cordelia and nodded in satisfaction.

Cordelia, was it? I am a messenger from Dulaus, Rufina Dulaus. I am the next King of the kingdom you call 『Northern Kingdom』. I have a slight accent, but I can speak your language, so you dont have to be polite.

Cordelia widened her eyes at those words. She thought that Rufina was some kingdoms royal member, but she didnt expect it to be Dulaus.

(But why did she reveal her identity to me?)

Crista Kingdom and Dulaus Kingdom werent on very good terms, but she didnt feel any tension when Sylvester and Rufina had interacted earlier. However, even if that were the case, Cordelia thought it was careless of Rufina to reveal her identity to someone who didnt know who she was.

Sylvester seemed a little surprised by Rufinas words, but Rufina didnt care and said something Cordelia hadnt expected.

Cordelia, will you help me get rid of Ghost?

If the Ghost she was referring to was the red-eyed young man who Cordelia knew, then she couldnt ask for better. However, it was hard for her to believe that someone associated with the royal family in Dulaus, the supposed home of Ghost, would say this to someone on the first meeting.

Thats an erratic question.

Cordelia replied harmlessly. However, Rufinas lips turned upwards, and she looked at Sylvester.

Sylvester-dono, I would like this girl to attend the tea party.

But, Rufina-dono

What? I just want to talk with her a little. Ill give up if you refuse. But if I cant talk to her, then Ill go to this girls house?

Sylvester let out a small sigh when he heard this and turned to Cordelia. His expression showed that he was unwilling to let her attend the tea party, and it also told Cordelia that it wasnt just an invitation to tea.

Sorry, Cordelia-san. Can you accompany us for a bit?

Yes.

Then, lets move.
