I went out as soon as the meal was over and gently stroked the elsa tree. I could feel the rough skin on my palm, and the smell of bitter orange coming into my nose.
Just in time, the chairman came towards me when he saw the elsa tree piling up in the castle.
"What is all this?"
"It's mine.''
"How many are here ..."
“If I start selling it, I will become richer.”
"What will you do when you become richer?"
“Of course I have to pay my taxes.”
When I laughed, the chief laughed as well.
Does the chairman know that Seria and I'm heartbroken every time tax season comes?
But the chairman just shrugged his shoulders.
"I'll leave some leaves."
"Yes. Leave some of them. So that people do not think it strange.”
"Yes. Ah, I have to go to work.”
Initially, the work had been arranged for weeks. But it was only delayed because Mireille showed up.
"I think we'll be gone in a few days."
“Don't forget your communication device.”
"Don't worry, I always carry it."
"okay."
I nodded as I touched Etwal's corner.

We went to the city three days later.
Before, there was only me, Henry, Isaac, and father in the castle. But now there are Javelin and Johann.
Johann decided to stay with us until the end of his vacation.
When we arrived at the mansion, the employees greeted us.
When we finished arranging our luggage, we drank tea and discussed what would happen.
Aunty said to dad,
“Now Leblaine is going to make her social debut, we have to choose her godmother.”
Godmothers are adults who educate women who are about to debut.
It is important who our godmother is. This was because people were divided by factions.
Of course, there were people who disliked the faction, but if they were nowhere, it was difficult to survive.
My family is talking about my godmother.
“I heard that Mrs. George wise. All women say she is calm and smart.”
Henry, who is known to many, said,
"Mrs George was wise, but her husband was not. He's greedy. If he knew that his wife was in charge of Leblaine, it would be difficult.”
“I heard their niece also made her social debut this time. He cares so much about blood, he may mistreat Leblaine and prioritize his nephew.”
"What about Mrs Dimonte?"
"That's a good idea."
Many names are called. Aunt and Henry gave a lot of advice to dad.
"Pick anyone who won't force Blaine to wear high heels."
There are people who force children to wear high heels.
Hearing her, my aunt said, “Of course.” while drinking her tea.
Everyone voiced their opinions together to vote for my godmother, but I've thought of someone.
My aunt will introduce me and take on the role of helping me adapt.
My aunt said,
"First .. let's start with shopping."
"Shopping?"
“Bau money can make hyenas in social circle shut up. I'll ask for your clothes from Sharon.”
'Sharon?'
As soon as I heard the name, I immediately asked auntie.
"Can I go and see it in person?"
"Hmmm…"
My aunt, who had been suffering for quite some time, immediately nodded.
"It's not a bad idea to introduce yourself."
I sang a happy song to my heart. Because the person I wanted to have as a godmother had a good relationship with Sharon.

When I went out with my aunt to the store, I could feel the gaze coming towards us.
"Oh my God .. it's Javelin."
I could hear whispers from the moment we arrived.
From the woman holding the book to the bachelor at the flower shop, all the attention was on my aunt.
The attention is endless.
He was like a knight returning from the war as a victor.
Every time he wears something, it becomes a trend.
Above all, she had an elegant and cool atmosphere that made her feel like a cool older sister.
I know this because there are people who value Javelin portraits even in churches. Mina is one of them.
“You don't know Leblaine? Good Lord! Javelin is a top star!”
I saw my aunt and the woman running from far away.
“Yes, Javelin Ariage! my inspiration!”
Her hair was about 6 centimeters below her ears, and her name was Sharon. He is the best designer here.
She was popular for selling expensive dresses to nobles.
"What the hell is going on? I've asked you to come, but I don't think you'll actually come. I think I've been wrong to see. ”
Then Sharon smiled, as my aunt covered her face with her palm.
"I came to buy this kid's clothes."
“I do not design children's clothing. But who is this squirrel?”
"He's my nephew."
"Niece of the girl?!"
Sharon shouted in amazement.
"You're destiny's son?"
"……Yes.Yes."
Sharon's eyes widened, before long she burst into laughter.
"Ha huh! Ha ha ha ha!"
"Little girl, my name is Sharon Rouge."
"My name is Leblaine."
"You speak up now?"
"As a courtesy to my aunt's friend."
Then he opened the door without a sign.
My aunt and I followed him inside.
The interior is amazing. He led us to the end of the hallway, and when he opened the locked door, a vortex-shaped staircase came into view.
"Come, you two go upstairs while I sketch."
I held my aunt's hand tightly.
"It's Sharon's workshop."
At the top of these stairs the nobles called the room Sharon's workshop.
But just because it is called so, does not mean this workshop is really a workshop.
This is the so-called club where people with status share their personal connections.
Melvin was unable to achieve Sharon's reputation not because she was a better designer. That was because Sharon was a top club operator.
I climbed the stairs with my aunt.
There were about twenty people, gathered in groups of two and three to speak.
A noble saw my aunt and said,
"Miss Ariage!”
"Now this is a real ball."
“Hahaha, as you get older, your memory gets really bad. So this is Miss Ariage.”
People were swarming around my aunt.
"Who is this boy?"
"My nephew."
“Ah, the.”.
"Hello, Marquis Dilmore."
"Do you know me?"
"of course. I know who helped establish the empire. I'm admiring you after hearing that you made a lot of merit into one of the knights in your youth.''
Marquis Dilmore.
He was surprised because I was young yet I spoke eloquently.
"Oh my God, you are so young, yet you speak so well."
I also greet the other nobles.
"It's nice to meet you. Countess Lecillia, Count Castor, Marchioness Whitley.”
The nobles really looked surprised.
"How do you know me?"
“I heard a lot about you, people say that Countess Lecillia is notoriously wise, and she is a beautiful woman with blonde hair. So I just thought he might be you. ”
"How did you know that?"
“You deliberately stood on the left side of the Marchioness Whitley. He holds a stick in his right hand, so you stand on the left to avoid discomfort.”
Smiles spread across the faces of the nobles.
“You're smart.”
Countess Lecillia smiled and gave me orange juice.
I grinned with a childish and innocent expression on my face.
'OK, I like Countess Lecillia, who has the best reputation in the club.'
I took the orange juice and went gently to the side of the sofa.
“Countess Lecillia is one of the most talented people. She has a close relationship with Empress Yvonne.”
A lot of people say that.
'But she's not the one I want to be godmother to.'
'Didn't that person come today?'
That's when I looked around thinking so,
A woman with dark brown hair was climbing the stairs.
