Ilma helped me get off the train and handed me a pink coat. Although this is a palace courtyard, the temperature here is also cold.
Filia:"Thank you Ilma."
I walked with my mother and the others. Usually a mother-level noble would rarely take the initiative to socialize with other members of the lower noble family, unless they knew each other or the head of that family. The ones outside the room to socialize at the moment, judging by their appearance, they were youths or members of noble families, while the head of the family and their heir were inside the room.
Not because family members are not allowed to enter the room, but because they still like to socialize with the same level. It would be rather difficult for them to come talk in the room at this time because the heads of the family and would be talking about business and family affairs, he said, so this family member only needs to make social connections outside. Eventually, they will enter the room.
We walked slowly to the party room. From the courtyard to the party room it is about 100m away with the asphalt road using gray stone tiles.
Behind either the mother or the prince, there was a servant who brought various cities for the queen's gift. Maybe only Ilma walked with her bare hands. Maybe that's why I'm the center of attention.
"Hey... Look, I've never seen that girl?!."
"I am also the first time. But, I saw that he got off the Rosefield family train."
"Is it possible that she is the Princess of the Rosefield family?."
"That's possible. After all, the Princess of the Rosefield family never participated in any events."
"Are you talking about that girl?."
"Hey... Aren't you being disrespectful?."
"Sorry, sorry. You're correct. She's the Rosefield family's first daughter."
"Where do you know?."
"I've seen him at the academy while delivering my son. If you pay close attention, at this party there are many designers of clothing and jewelry present, right?."
"Yes, that's right. What's wrong?."
"They were present to see the appearance of the Princess. There were originally many daughters from noble families who asked for dresses to attend the party, but when the tailor and designer made them dresses, the children were very dissatisfied. They wanted clothes like the Princess of the Rosefield family. From then on, the seamstresses began investigating and hoping they could make an inspiration after seeing the girl in person tonight. Look, now those designers are starting to get their records out."
"Hey... do you think, if my daughter wore such a dress, would my daughter also look good like the Princess of the Rosefield family?."
"Although it's not that good, but I think it'll be better. After all the Princess of the Rosefield family has the blood of a royal elf."
"I also don't mind letting my daughter wear a beautiful dress."
"Yes. But, there would be no way those designers and tailors would be so careless as to imitate her dress without her permission. It's possible it's exclusive to the Rosefield family."
"Yes. At least I'll hope that the tailors get permission to copy it."
"So from the dress she was wearing, didn't the lady look very good?!."
"That's... Thatvs right. I think I should have a serious talk with my son."
"I've also never heard that the Princess of the Rosefield family has a fiancee."
"Ahh. e, ahem sorry everyone, it looks like I still have something. Please excuse me."
"He must be trying to find his son."
"That stupid son?."
"Yes. Maybe he's hoping to eat goose meat."
.....
Entering the room, I saw that this room was very spacious. This room is very bright and full of various dishes that spoil the eyes.
In the center of the room was a gigantic crystal lamp no less than 10m in diameter that emitted a golden yellow light.
There is a luxurious classic-style staircase in the middle of the room covered with red carpet with gold thread embroidery on both sides of the carpet, which leads to a spacious indoor balcony on the second floor. On both sides of the staircase there is a golden metal handle with intricate floral motifs and gives a charming and elegant impression throughout the room.
Many nobles in neat clothes greeted each other and spoke with a trophy containing red wine in their hands. Some waiters were also busy serving food and drinks while serving the guests present.
Because it was not yet time for the real party to start, so they were still busy socializing and looking for relationships with other nobles.
Arsh:"Darling, I'm going to meet some friends first, do you want to come?."
Filia:"No. I'll wait here."
Arsh:"OK then. I'm going first."
Philia:"Yes."
I saw my mother go and approach some noble ladies who were talking in one corner of the room. When the mother came, they saluted each other and smiled politely.
I don't know and don't really care about what they're talking about, so I'm just looking for a seat to rest and wait for the protagonist today to appear.
I forgot to say that this party will be split in two. The first is a celebration party held during the day that can also be attended by ordinary citizens, while the other one is a dance party at night that will be attended by nobles and rich people. Although most of those who will be present are young people, but not a few parents who will be present with their partners to dance and have fun.
In addition, a dance party at night is also a great opportunity to socialize and get to know each other. Many young nobles found people who matched them in a dance like this and ended up becoming a couple. Moreover, the young nobles and children of the rich would take this opportunity to try to take the hearts of people they thought were suitable.
"Excuse me. Is this the Princess of the Rosefield family?."
As I was sitting and watching the surroundings, suddenly someone came and approached me. I turned my head and saw that what greeted me was a somewhat old noble man with a few strands of white hair. In her right eye she wears round-laced glasses with a gold-colored frame. In the frame of the glasses there is a small chain that connects between the glasses and the pocket of the shirt.
This noble body was about 1.9m tall with a well-built body and a friendly face full of smiles. I stood up and bowed to each other to salute. I salute the older one, while the noble pays respect for my higher family position.
Philia:"This is true. I'm Filia Rosefield. glad to be recognized by you, Viscount Barati."
The name of this noble was Roderig Barati. A Viscount of the House of Barati. The Barati family is a family that donates a large amount of wheat and groceries in this country. That was because the Barati family possessed an extremely vast territory that was almost comparable to the territory of a Count. Besides being vast, the Barati region is also very fertile with excellent agriculture. Their agricultural output will account for at least 5% of all food distributed in the country each harvest season.
The Barati family can have a large territory because many nobles are reluctant to develop the territory. They are reluctant because the area is the radius of the volcanic explosion. So whenever the volcano erupts, most of the area is destroyed by a cloud of dust.
As a result of that, the losses incurred will certainly be very large. Either from material losses, or from humans. But, since the volcano will not always erupt, so during that grace period, Viscount Barati will try to make as much profit and supplies as possible in order to deal with the eruption that can occur at any time.
It was then that the other nobles began to see the advantages of the region and always urged Viscount Barati to reduce his territory and give it to other nobles. The ghosts alone they only dared to make some small moves for it, since Viscount Barati was a faction of the royal family.
Roderig:"I didn't expect that the Princess who never appeared would be present at this event."
Filia:"I feel it's time for me to jump into the social world, so I try to be brave. I wish I could have some advice from you."
Roderig:"It's an honor for me."
Filia:"Did the Viscount attend the party alone?."
It's natural to ask that. The other nobles would mostly bring their hostess, and I saw that the Viscount was only alone, so I asked that.
Roderig:"Well. I happen to be in the capital. Before the snow began to fall, I was already in the capital to arrange for the delivery of agricultural produce in winter, but I did not expect that the snow would suddenly fall."
Because the agricultural output is large, so the Barati family will send some of the crops to the capital to help people who are hungry in winter. It seemed like the Viscount was trapped by the snow and was unable to return to its territory during the winter. After all, the territory of Viscount Barati was far to the south of the kingdom.
Roderig:"No. Because this year's winter came early, so the farm also started harvesting early. Therefore, the agricultural output this year is not very good. Especially for some reason the farm is not very good. Maybe the soil is starting to lose fertility."
Philia:"Is the soil always planted with the same type of plants every year?."
Roderig:"That's right."
Filia:"Then maybe I know how to cope."
Roderig:"Really?. If you don't mind, can I find out?."
I wanted to give her advice not because of what, but because Viscount Barati is a close friend of father. So, if possible I want to help her.
Filia:"Yes, but this is just a suggestion, so don't expect too much."
Roderig:"It's okay. No matter how bad the advice is, if it's useful I'll definitely apply."
Filia:"There are two easiest ways. The first is by the method of crop rotation. Crop rotation can restore nutrients and nitrogen in the soil to be planted. My advice: it is best to plant Legum after planting Cerealia and the like. Then the second way is to do Agroforestry by planting trees in agricultural areas. Both ways are the easiest, and can be done simultaneously in one agricultural area, so you do not need to choose the first or second way."
Roderig:"This is very interesting. Can I know more?."
Filia:"Sure..."
(Here I cut a few hundred words. If you want to know more, you can search on google.)
We talked for a while until the Viscount was satisfied with my explanation. After hearing everything I explained, the Viscount seemed very interested in adopting that way and immediately applied it. The viscount immediately walked to a place and looked for his person to take notes as per my explanation.
tap...
As the slow sound of shoe soles rang out, the nobles and invited guests began to calm down and look towards the stairs simultaneously. Moments later, I saw a woman and a man slowly descending from the stairs. Behind them were two knights as well as a prince and princess.
That man is the king's majesty. He was currently wearing his royal clothes as well as his royal robe. His friendly character made everyone feel close to him.
Beside her, there was a beautiful woman who looked like an early twenty-year-old wearing a Victorian red dress with embroidered flora that made the queen's temperament more elegant and graceful.
The two of them walked over while hooking hands and descending the stairs slowly, attracting all the attention of the audience.
"It is our honor to meet His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen. May His Majesty always be endowed with glory and long life."
Everyone immediately saluted and gave a speech to uphold the king and queen. Forget to mention, the name of Her Majesty the Queen is Marieta Lucis, from the House of Lucis who is a Count-level noble. The territory of Count Lucis was on the coast, so the main income of the region came from the sea. Although it was not a big profit, but it was also not a small profit.
Marieta:"Thank you because the honored guests are willing to come to this event in the middle of winter."
"What do you say, Your Majesty. If we can attend, it is a great honor for us to congratulate His Majesty."
A nobleman came forward with his wife to offer his Majesty praise.
Marieta:"Thank you for your flattery Baron Bariere."
His Majesty welcomed the flattery with a gentle and elegant smile. After a few more words, His Majesty the King and Queen, the two of them walked towards the seats that had been provided on the platform. On the platform there are four chairs of different sizes.
In the seat in the center that has a higher backrest than the two seats on the right and left are seats for the king and queen, the smaller seat center is a seat for princes and princesses.
After the royal family took their seats, the nobles began to call their servants and take the gifts they had provided.
The first to come forward were a couple from the Tsuart family. They gave rare red crystal jewelry as a gift.
"This is the Rubies that we managed to dig from our family's mine pit. I hope, Your Majesty will receive this gift."
Marieta:"Thank you for the gift, Baronet Tsuart."
Leonis:"Thank you for your generosity Alfred."
Alfred:"Honor to me Your Majesty."
After the people from the Tsuart family, others started to advance one by one to give gifts for the queen. Looking from the beginning to the present, it seems like only I wrapped up the gift.
A few moments passed. After seeing that almost all the nobles gave gifts, I advanced towards the queen. The order to give gifts ranging from high-ranking nobles to lace-level nobles, after which were non-noble guests. Non-noble guests can come from people who have influence or a rich sword.
Influential people here feel from various walks of life. Starting from the chairman and the higher-ups of the guild (Adventurer union, merchant union, trade union, witch union etc.), high-level adventurers, designers, artisans, forges, wizards, etc.), and various people who have influence in various professions.
As I walked towards the queen's place, I somehow felt that all eyes were on me. Maybe they saw me because it felt strange that I was advancing empty-handed.
In addition to the curious eyes, I also felt some mocking and wondering gazes. After all this was the first time 'Filia' had attended an event like this.
I walked over and bowed while lifting a little both ends of my dress. Although this dress was not suitable for this kind of action, but it did not have much effect.
Philia:"I salute His Majesty and all members of the royal family."
I waved my right hand lightly and two boxes suddenly appeared in empty air, and fell into my hands slowly.
Filia:"This is a simple gift from me. I hope this doesn't disappoint Your Majesty too much."
I took another step and handed the gift over to the queen's personal servant and the king. For wrapped gifts, must be handed over to the waiter to be opened. Of course this is a security measure, not that they don't trust me.
Leonis:"What is this. You don't have to bring a gift, and it's still two."
Marieta:"That's right. Nana sent me a present two days ago."
His majesty the king and queen responded to me with a smile.
Filia:"Despite this, I would be uncomfortable not bringing a gift personally."
"Your Majesty!"
The two maids bowed respectfully as they thrust out the city that had opened and revealed its contents. One of us contains a two-meter-long magic staff, while the other box contains a neatly folded cloak.
The king and queen stared at the contents of the two boxes with their eyes wide open. The queen immediately grabbed the wand and checked. After putting consciousness into the staff for a while, the queen looked at me with a surprised and wondering expression filled with confusion and overwhelming.
Marieta:"I, here... Things like this..."
Seeing the extraordinary expression of Her Majesty the Queen, Her Majesty the king looked at her curiously, and asked.
Leonis:"What's up?. What's going on?."
Marieta:"Li, look at this."
The queen handed the scepter to the king for examination. Soon, the king's expression was not much better than Her Majesty's.
Marieta:"The two of you, immediately close these two boxes and take care of them."
"Your Majesty."
Leonis:"Well... Looks like after this we'll have to talk in private."

Long time no update. I've been in a really bad mood for a few days. So, I couldn't write before my mood got better, but now it's okay. Forgive me for this, see you next time:)
