"Please enjoy the party because I have prepared this party's food and drinks for a long time. I'll let him know your table when Oscar comes."

"Yes, princess..."

Mielle covered half of her face with a fan since she felt a sudden heat and settled at an empty table nearby. Some of the young ladies who recognized her hurried to fill the vacancy, and her surroundings were filled with people without a moment to feel empty.

"How can you be so beautiful today?!"

"I think you're getting more spotlight today."

"On her birthday, Lady Isis is very beautiful, and it's not long before the two of you, even the best in the Empire, have the same surname."

"Oh, what are you saying? Before that, Princess Isis will have the noblest surname in the Empire, Franz."

"I made a mistake. I'm so sorry!"

There was one reason that she was the future hostess of the Duke of Frederick. It was more like a fait accompli when they saw that the princess was taking care of her.

As Isis had sent letters to all the nobles above a certain level, they were invited to attend her birthday, but having difficulty in getting acquainted with the princess, they targeted Mielle, who was still young and seemingly easy to handle.

"I can't wait for that day to come."

As always, Mielle answered with a sweet smile. In fact, she didn't even know the names of those who surrounded her. For those who were of no value, she could have a consistent smile. She listened only to what she wanted to hear and answered only to it. That was the social world that Mielle had learned.

"Uh? Isn't that Oscar over there?"

"That's true!"

Turning to a spot where a young lady was pointing at someone, she found Oscar dressed up in a suit that had his family's emblem embroidered on his chest. He turned over all his hair back, and his matureness was outstanding.

'How cool is he?' Mielle admired him purely. He went straight up to Isis. He exchanged words of silence and soon turned to the table where Mielle was.

"Oh, it looks like he's coming this way!"

A garrulous lady predicted Oscar's behavior. As she said that, Oscar's footsteps headed for the table with Mielle. She got up from her seat, unable to bear to wait for him approaching. With his strolling gait, Oscar came just around her.

"How have you been?"

"... I've been good! What about you Oscar?"

"Me too."

Oscar's manner was very friendly. The stiffness of his speech was a little subdued and so was his expression. He asked an excuse for a lady who was taking the seat next to Mielle and sat next to her.

'Don't tell me this isn't a dream...?'

If it was a dream, she hoped she would not wake up. She couldn't even blink. She just stared at the friendly Oscar.

Whether he was really determined to love Mielle, he sought her convenience all the time and spoke to her. Mielle was half unconscious. She received his efforts, and around her, they said that the two were very well matched.

"They're a nice couple, isn't it?"

"Dear princess...!".

In response, Isis, the person who sought a close relationship between the two, fanned out. Whether she had finished her greetings to major guests or not, she also sat next to Oscar.
