Camilla looked at the women coldly.
"What are you doing here?"
“I'm sorry for my rudeness the other day. I'll apologize to the lady. ”
Lady George, who was important among the nobles, said so. He looked at me as he spoke.
'The Georges have a lot of conflict in their family.'
Their ancestors left a will to bestow the title to the second son, where the Count currently ignored the will using the Duke Marche's followers and support.
As the army that the second son had on the outskirts of Noxstone became a large group of soldiers, the Count and his wife were wary and secretly asked for support from others.
They do not know when, where, or how they will be attacked.
"If you know it's an excuse, you have to reflect on yourself."
"Godmother, do you know my situation?"
When Mrs. Georges tried to reach for his arm with a troubled look, the godmother simply let go of his hand. Expressions Mrs. George was dark.
"You don't even respect me and miss, why should I care about your situation?"
“Ta, But..!”
"return. Never think of showing your face for a while.”
It was a strict order for him not to attend the party.
The other woman also tried to plead with him but Camilla's expression remained the same.
'Of course, it's because they dared to send back my invitation.'
It was a rude thing that should never happen again. If I didn't have the device, they wouldn't apologize until the end.
“Nona, what happened a few days ago is a very big mistake.!”.
When their apologies didn't work out to my godmother, they started begging me directly.
My godmother looked at them fiercely and gently pulled my hand.
“There are a lot of annoying flies outside. Let's go inside."
"Yes, godmother!"
I followed my godmother innocently without facing the women.
When we went inside, there were many people in front of the party room where my tea party would be held. Of course, they were among the people who returned my invitation.
My godmother and I entered the room quietly, and the guests followed behind.
My godmother's expression was friendly when she saw the women who were already in the room.
It was they who accepted the invitation even though they knew that coming to my party would anger the Duchess of Vallua.
Some of them had a close relationship with my godmother, and some were just plain good, they attended so that the young lady's first tea party didn't end in failure.
"Thank you for coming. I will not forget your good deeds.”
"It's okay. The second floor of Ropte Salon is a place I really want to visit.”
"Little Miss, greet the VIPs."
The godmother patted my back and said, as I grabbed my skirt and bent my knees.
“Happy to meet you, my name is Leblaine Risette Dubbled!”
As I spoke excitedly, they laughed and introduced themselves one by one.
“My name is Candida Dimonte.”
From old women to small children, they were all impressive people.
I unintentionally screened insincere people.
This is all thanks to the Duchess of Vallua.
'Thank you, Duchess of Vallua!'
The rest are sincere people. The old ladies from the powerful families led the conversation so that everyone could join in.
We spoke in a friendly atmosphere. At the end of the conversation, I told Laura to bring the box to me.
"Here, godmother."
"Yes?"
“My aunt told me I needed to prepare a small gift for my first party. So I prepared a gift for you and everyone. Can I give it to him now?”
When I said shyly, my godmother smiled and said, "Of course."
Laura distributed the envelopes from the boxes to the guests one by one.
He gave me the most luxurious envelope, and I held it tight as I looked shyly at my godmother.
The women who opened the envelope were shocked.
"This is…"
I nodded and said.
“I share my remote teleportation device with my family. What I give you is an upgraded scroll for teleportation that can travel up to 20 kilometers! ”
Then the faces of the women who received the envelope hardened.
The face of the guest not on my back also turned pale.
I grinned in my heart.
The plan to present the scroll to all the guests was Henry's idea.
"Why don't you give them the scroll as a gift?"
“Is it okay to give them that alone? I think I should ask dad .. he said that remote teleportation devices are dangerous even just by having them. ”
"It doesn't matter if you adjust the distance of the trip."
Henry added with a smile.
“Sometimes you have to share what is in your hands to make them loyal to you.”
Henry's expression looked very scary, so Isaac said,
"You're so cool when you say that!"
I asked Veronica to make a better version of the device.
"I can't accept such a precious thing."
Ms. Dimonte placed the scroll on the envelope with trembling hands.
"My aunt told me I needed to give something valuable to the people I care about."
Even my godmother smiled and said.
“This is purely an intention from the heart of the lady. Just accept.”
“...then I will gladly accept it.”
Despite being rejected, they seemed excited because it was a very, very expensive gift, reaching 300,000 francs if they sold it on the market.
"This is my gift to you."
"Accept ... Son, this is ......!"
When he pulled the scroll out of the envelope, he hardened.
It was a long-distance scroll that could cover a distance of up to 8,000 kilometers.
When my godmother, who had seen my device at the first prince's birthday party, hardened, the people who saw what I gave said,
"Devices…!.
“No way...are you sure?”
I nodded slowly again this time.
“As Veronica tested it, it covered a distance of up to 8,035 kilometers. Use when you need it.”
The godmother took my hand.
“Small girl, you shouldn't give this to anyone. I give it back."
"But this is for my godmother!"
He looked confused but moved.
"But…"
"My dad said it's okay if it's a gift for my godmother ..."
Deliberately looking sad, one woman said,
"This is why you should be careful what you say."
Then, laughter exploded throughout the party.
I smiled broadly and hugged her waist.
"please accept! Yea? Yea?"
“Ah...I became the godmother of a great child.”
Then the guests continued and said.
"You are truly blessed."
The godmother gently caressed my cheek.
"I'll thank you for this."
"Really!"
Hehe. I looked at the uninvited guest with a happy face.
Soon, those who were not invited began to disperse.
"They regret it, right?"
Thinking so, I smiled inwardly.
Later word spread that the Dubbled family gave the scrolls to the guests.

The Duchess of Vallua looked at the empty garden and bit her lip.
"Brother, no one's coming to our party?"
Niel looked at his brother Hayton with a puzzled look. Hayton answered,
"Shut up."
"But…"
As soon as Niel muttered something, a clashing sound rang out.
“I, mom..”
"Mother!"
The Duchess of Vallua swept the vase and tea set on the table and dropped it. Red blood dripped from his hands.
“I'll tear him to death..!”
It's all because of that orphan girl.
Niel's case was investigated and they revoked his invitation to the imperial academy.
“Te, quiet mom..”
"Your father! Where's daddy? What did he do when I was treated like this!”
"He attended the conference ..."
"What did he do with my mother's money spent on useless devices!"
The cry of Duchess Vallua resounded in the garden.
***
The eyes of the nobles were fixed on the handsome man sitting down.
Theodore Dubbled did not care about them, even though they were important nobles.
“I.. Duke Dubbled. If you're okay after the meeting is over, can we talk? ”
"Oho, this brute!"
“What the hell is in the conference room? Don't bother Duke Dubbled.”
The chairman of the conference, the Duke of Marche, waited for Theodore Dubbled to speak.
The Duke of Dubbled, who was slowly tapping on the armrest, opened his mouth.
“There are some people who returned my daughter's invitation to the tea party.”
“……!”
“……!”
“……!”
As the faces of some nobles turned pale, the Duke of Dubbled continued,
"If you want to be safe, follow me quietly after the meeting."
The hands of the nobles seemed to tremble.
Then, there was a knock in the conference room.
"I'm sorry."
A man in a formal suit with the Dubbled emblem entered the conference room.
He whispered as he approached the Duke of Dubbled.
"We found someone who had contact with Mireille and the lodging partner."
Duke's eyes turned cold.
