Chapter: 228
The amethyst-purple eyes looking at Astelle gleamed with curiosity.
She was very cute when she made a girlish expression.
“It is an honor to meet you, Lady Astelle.”
“Nice to meet you too, Lady Florin.”
This was her really first meeting with her.
Astelle had seen Marchioness and Marianne several times when she had previously lived in the capital but had never met the second daughter, Florin.
As if acknowledging Astelle’s thoughts, Florin smiled and spoke, “I was not feeling well when I was young and was recuperating on the Croychen’s estate. So, I never had the chance to see Lady Astelle, but it’s an honor to meet you now.”
“Oh…… were you not feeling well?”
“I was very ill when I was young. I am a lot better now.”
Now that Astelle saw her, there was a slight pale tinge on her pearly white skin.
“By the way, the Count……”
Why is Vellian, as the host of the tea party, not present yet?
Astelle looked around and was about to ask.
But a new attendee entered the tea room.
Florin, who was examining the table, and the Marchioness, who stood with a grin on her face, hurriedly bent her knees and bowed her head.
“Greetings, the Lord of the Empire.”
The person who came in was Kaizen.
Astelle, who was confused, also hurried to greet him.
“Astelle.”
“Your Majesty.”
Vellian followed behind him and came in.
“Oh, everyone is here.”
Astelle gave him a look that asked how this happened.
Vellian blatantly ignored Astelle’s gaze.
‘How rude.’
