Chapter 18



*** Birthday party of Lyotal Family ***

Lyotals third son, Achille von Lyotal, was nervous looking around the venue. (T.N: Full name of Acyl is Achille von Lyotal)

[Why isnt she here yet ?

I dont doubt her, but I am worried about accidents and mistakes. ] (Acyl inner thought)

In the venue, all of the Lyotal family are present, including the main protagonist Cedric and his guests.

In this country, the organizer isnt give speech as soon as they present.Becayse the guests are often coming late, so theorganizer save the greetings and speech after a certain amount of time.

So, the party has actually already begun.

And when Acyl was getting more and more worry, a girl appeared at the party venue.

The party organizer, Lyotal, realized that the venue, which was noisy with the conversations here and there had became quiet.

(Did something happen?) (Lyotal)

Right now Lyotal are having conversations with guests, as theorganizer, he must at least check every guests that come to hiseldest sons birthday party and says his greetings.

And when the eyes of all guests and Lyotal himself turned to that direction, there was a girl of about 12 years old.

Glossy black hair up to the shoulder, well-balanced face

Although her catching eyes are a little strong and mean. But as a noble, it also shows the strength of their intention. That girl is wearing a pure white dress.

What a splendid thing! Adress which seems to be made for royalty. She also has a lot of shiningjewelry such as necklaces, hair ornaments that with great craftmanship!

And it isnt an just monetary value. No matter how muchgold coins you spend, you cant easy get what isnt available if you dont have a mean.

Certainly, she is still a young girl before adulthood.

But thats only a matter of waiting for a few years.

Watching that figure growing in your hand will also be blissful.

That pretty figure that makes Lyotal think so. Sheseems intelligent, with strong personality, wearing a lot of jewels that even hard to obtain even withhundred of gold coins.

Whose daughter is she? Is she some Princess of the other country? The way shelaugh is also fantastic.

In the quiet venue, everyone just kept staring at the girl. The girl kept walking straight towards the front seat, where Lyotal and the protagonist of today Cedric. But before she reach the seat, sheturns to the right and heading to the food corner.

And that girl gladly took a dish from the food corner, and everyone couldnt help but protest in their mind.

(No, Dont do it, your dress will get dirty ~~~ !!) (Everyone)

The waiters on scene flew to her right away and offered help. And thegirl keeps eating dish elegantly.

And the venue that finally regained sound, the men began moving near the girl and tried to talk with her.

However, theres a manner of saying Dont talk to those who have a dish in their hands, so no one can talk to the girl that continues to eat without interruption.

The girl continues to eat forever. (T.N: Kaoru tries to eat like a noble so she eats slowly, she isnt really glutton)

And the men nearby who waiting to talk are somewhat fidget while restraining each other.

And the girl suddenly turned to the men direction, and she finally placed the dish on the table.

Now!

The moment the men thought so and tried talking to her.

Thank you for inviting me today, Acyl! (Kaoru) (T.N: Kaoru didnt add -san like in the workshop)

That girl smiling and talking to Achille von Lyotal, the third son of the Lyotal Family.

Eeh, Kaoru-chan ? (Acyl)

And then, there was the appearance of Acyl which was dumb found while opened his mouth wide.

[ What?What does it mean?Does the girl know Achille?

I dont mind, but as the organizer, I cant interrupt the meeting between young people.

I have to fulfill my duty as a host ] (Lyotal)

The Lyotal restraints himself from flying to Acyl and question.

The eldest son Cedric was also worried and as a leading role, he also cant leave his seat.

Today, the father and him have to do fulfill their role as the owner and successor the house.

Who in the world is that girl?And what kind of relationship does she have with Acyl? Lyotal and Cedric cant keep their calm.

Please introduce her to us, Achille (Noble + Merchant men)

The men at the place are asking Acyl.

If a girl is alone, you may ask her directly, but if that girls family member, friends, acquaintances, etc. are present, first rule is to ask that person for introduction.

Ah, ah, she is Kaoru (Acyl)

He cant say anything more. Like she is a commoner, she doesnt have a family name, or he asked her for help today.

If he introduces a beatiful girl with such fanstatic dress and jewels, no-one will believe him, he may even loses face.

Good day everyone, my name is Kaoru. My family name is classify. I hope everyone can forgive me about it (Kaoru)

Kaoru backs up for Acyl.

The men at that place have no choice but endure their urge to ask Kaorus family name. Theres also a manner thatdont touch on a girl identity without her will.

Of course, no one is rude enough to ask a lady about her age.

Kaoru-san, are you engaged in engagement? (Men)

No, not yet.

In our family, we will find the one we love and decide everything ourselves (Kaoru)

As Kaory replies so, the men are happy but they still try to hide it.

The men surrounding Kaoru are composed of a wide range from boys around 10 years old to the late teens, young men and even middle age men.

What kind of relationship did you have with Achille? (Men + Boys)

Acyl is my first friend since I came to this country and I am indebted to him ever since.

He had been eating my cooking and praising it delicious everyday (Kaou)

Yes, there is no lie.

As the men heard that, they interpret that the relationship between Acyl and Kaoru arent gone so far yet. And it seems, this girl had abandoned her name

Have you cooked yourself?(Men + Boys)

Yes, Im pretty good with cooking.

I heard that I can eat party cuisine in this country today, so I had asked Acyl to invite me.

I wanted to compare it with food from my country (Kaoru)

And the men thought that Kaoru was keeping eating a little earlier for that reason.

Although Kaoru is merely want to enjoy the food.

Well then, please come and visit the upcoming party of our Earl family, you can taste a lot of famous cuisine (Earls son)

No, come to our place, the chef of our family is a former cook of royal palace (Unknown nobles son)

Well, our home also (Unknown nobles son)

And party invitation continued for a while.

Acil was upset by Kaoru looked like that another person, who can not be thought of as a commoner, and wasnt able to speak to her because of the surrounded men.

***

Everyone, welcome and thank you for coming to our party today! (Either Lyotal)

It seems that the greeting time has arrived.

Men around Kaoru can not ignore this event as expected and they start coming to the front seat of the venue.

Lyotal says his greeting to visitors, talking a little about the recent topics of the Lyotal family, introduce Cedric who is his eldest son and the protagonist of this party.

And he also mentions a little about the second son and the third son Achille, and also mention that Cedric and Achille are yet to engage.

At that time, he got a glance at Acyl and the black hair girl standing beside him.

After the greetings and introduction, the men also started to lean towards Kaoru again.But there were another group of people there.

Oh my! What are those people? (Kaoru)

A considerable number of women were heading towards the family head and Cedric while held something in their hands.

Ah, that is

My older brother, who is todays leading character.

Those women are going to hand over the gift

But only who isnt married, not having fiance, lover can go there (Acyl)

Acyl is finally able to speak with Kaoru.

Well, I hadnt heard about it? (Kaoru)

Well, because it had nothing to do with Kaoru (Acyl)

Well

Lets change schedule and get out here!

Im going there a bit too! (Kaoru)

Eh, wh What do you mean, Wait (Acyl)

Pay no mind to Acyl, Kaoru headed for the leading role seat.

On the way, Kaoru checked the position of a certain employee.

The position of that servant with the characteristics that fits the story of Achille.

When Kaoru went forward, there was a row made by the ladies. At that moment, all the ladies turn back to Kaoru.

Oh, are you also aiming for Cedric-sama? (Lady)

Voices were heard from other ladies lined up in front Kaoru.

It seems that you dont prepare gifts for him, are you going to greet him with an empty hand? (Lady)

It seems the ladies are jealous of Kaoru who had taken the attention of all men before. Or they want to fight over Cedric?

Oh, thats fine, you dont have to worry (Kaoru)

Kaoru lightly replies back.

Oh, yes That reminds me, I heard that a lady who dropped her gift and broke it before, gave him a kiss on his hand and the right to call her with a nickname instead of a gift (Lady)

The aristocratic girl, when he said so, turned towards the front.

Perhaps, she wanted to advise Kaoru that didnt seem to have a gift.

(Huh, yeah well ) (Kaoru)

The rows of the ladies gradually became shorter and finally the last one, Kaoru.

You are (Cedric)

Cedric who leaks a surprise voice to the black hair girl who he didnt expect it to come.

Arent you my brothers lover? (Cedric)

Acyl is a friend, a very nice person (Kaoru)

A nice person, you say (Cedric)

Cedric is looking at his brother sorrow eyes and smiles bitterly.

Thank you very much for inviting me today.

I wanted to say hello to Acyls brother and parents, so I was waiting in line (Kaoru)

My younger brother seem had died somewhere (Cedric)

Cedric suddenly glanced at his poor brother again.

So, I will not go empty hand with greeting, so Id like to give a gift (Kaoru)

Looking at the girl so told, she doesnt seem to have anything.It is certainly that she cant give the gem that she wore.

Can you call your servant, Calvin-san? (Kaoru)

Huh (Cedric)

Cedric is agape with the word of the girl.
