The Villainess and Modern Weapons
Chapter 43 Tea party 1

The Duke stared nervously at Sherlin's departure.

Meanwhile, Sherlin ran quickly towards her room.

'I hope Gloxinia takes care of Felix well!.' Sherlin mumbled softly.

Brakkk's.

Sherlin opened the door of her room violently, the sound she made so loud that Gloxinia and Felix were aghast.

"Miss!?."

Sherlin smiled, hugging Gloxinia tightly. Gloxinia met red, she returned Sherlin's embrace.

"You've handled Felix, haven't you?."

Gloxinia nodded her head. "Sure miss, Felix has been handled well!."

"Good!."

Sherlin let go of her embrace and looked at Felix who was sitting down and eating some food.

"???."

Sherlin stared at the food confusedly. Where did Felix get that food?? did he sneak into the kitchen again?.

Gloxinia who understood Sherlin's condition immediately explained how Felix got the food.

Looks like Gloxinia is very sensitive, different from someone:^.

Sherlin nodded her head, ah it was Gloxinia who gave her that food. Haahh deserved Felix to be so calm, apparently Gloxinia bribed Felix with food. Moreover it was his favorite food, fried fish meat!.

...----------------...

Time passed and the sun rose from the east, the typical fresh breeze of the morning made the heart feel calm.

The voice of the Edinburgh residence workers who were joking while carrying out their respective work, making the atmosphere look harmonious.

But it seemed that harmony and calmness of heart were not in the dining room. The Duke and Duchess have not made up yet.

The Duchess had been staring intently at the Duke and grunted in annoyance several times. In contrast to the Duke, he could only avoid the deadly gaze of his wife and only kept silent as he occasionally glanced carefully at the Duchess.

And of course, Sherlin and the servants who witnessed for themselves how hot the atmosphere was could only shake their heads and sigh silently.

Sherlin ate her breakfast slowly, she then put down her fork and knife.

'Huuftttt, because of father and mother's quarrel, my breakfast became a mess. I became unappetizing to continue my breakfast.' Sherlin was agitated, she tapped on the dining table with her index finger several times while looking at her father and mother alternately.

"Oh come on, I'm getting uncomfortable. Why do you guys keep going like this? make up daddy quickly! mama!."

The Duchess and Duke did not react, they just ate their breakfast silently.

What the fuck!?.

Sherlin's brows twitched, she then picked up the glass that was at the side and drank it.

Clack.

The Duchess got up from her seat and walked out of the room.

Blammm.

The door closed violently making Sherlin and Duke shocked.

Crickets.krik...

The atmosphere became quiet and awkward, Sherlin raised her eyebrows and took one grape and ate it.

Shortly after, Sherlin stood up and approached the Duke and whispered.

"Dad! have you guys not made up yet? wasn't last night enough?."

"Oh my daughter, I don't have a chance to meet your mother."

Sherlin stared flat at her father, it turned out that Duke was so lousy.

"Okay, your daughter will help!. Let's meet in the backyard later this afternoon!." Sherlin smiled smirikly.

Duke nodded. "All right."

Sherlin and her father smiled at each other, with the whispers at the end of it the absurd breakfast came to an end.

Not for tuk tuk.

The sound of a horse-drawn carriage rang out, the horse-drawn carriage entered the grounds of the Edinburgh residence and stopped in front of the front yard.

Taps.

A middle-aged woman descended from the horse carriage, she smiled and muttered. "A very magnificent residence."

The butler came over, he walked up to the middle-aged woman and bowed. "Welcome, madam."

That woman is Madam Clea, she came here to deliver Sherlin's dress.

"Thank you very much for the welcome, sir." Madam Clea bowed her body.

Sebastian nodded and escorted Madam Clea into the mansion.

Tap tap tap.

Sherlin came down the stairs gracefully, she smiled gently. "You've come, madam."

"Yes young lady, it is an honor to come to this magnificent Edinburgh mansion." Madam Clea gave her polite greetings.

"Fufufu, let's madam."

"I'll take you to mom's room.."

"Sure miss."

In the Duchess's room.

Tok.

Sherlin knocked on the door and called her mother. "Mother, I brought Madam Clea."

Clamps.

The door opened by the Duchess she welcomed Sherlin and the warm madam Clea.

"Welcome madam Clea." The Duchess allowed Madam Clea to sit down.

He gave the servant orders to bring tea.

The three of them conversed harmoniously about the dress that Sherlin had ordered.

And as a result, the dress is perfectly ready to wear at the tea party later. A bright green knee-length dress patterned with white flower-shaped hair ornaments and accompanied by leaves wrapped around it makes the dress look sweet. Shoes and gloves are a pair also has a beautiful pattern.

If Sherlin wears it, it will look like a charming forest fairy. With her white skin the dress would look perfectly matched, even her red hair combined with a green dress made her like a rose with a green stalk and bright red flowers.

"Hohoho, your dress has always been awesome." The duchess laughed as she fanned herself.

"You're too flattering to the Duchess." Madam Clea said low.

Sherlin was still smiling sweetly but unfortunately not with her heart. He was tired of holding his smile for a long time, it was certain that wrinkles would appear later.

The Duchess's hand grabbed the hand of Madam Clea, she opened her voice. "Madam, please send me another five dresses for my daughter." His words are relaxed.

Madam Clea and Sherlin widened her eyes.

"......"

'What the hell.' - Sherlin.

...----------------...

Day after day passed, until the day the tea party began.

From dawn, Sherlin was very busy. Ekhem was rather not her busy one but her busy servant was dressing herself.

For more than an hour she just sat by the dresser, Lili flirted with her hairstyle for more than five times!. And the other servants who decorate his face with various powder and blush cheeks as well as lips.

Sherlin sighed, she tilted her neck. "Oh come on, Lili, I'm sore! can you have a simple hairstyle?. I can't stand it."

Lili shook her head as she straightened Sherlin's head. "Can't miss, you have to look perfect!. Anyway lady Duchess also told me to make you shine at the tea party later!."

Sherlin's eyebrows twitch. "Shining? do you think I'm a porcelain sculpture?."

"No miss! you are more than that!. You are like a beautiful diamond that must be polished and treated with all your heart! in this Edinburgh residence you are the pearl of our hearts!."

The other servants nodded in unison. They're babbling at each other.

"Truly young lady! you are so precious!."

"Yes, that's right!."

"Yes, you are our precious little angel!."

Gloxinia who was on the edge of the corner just smiled, she looked at Sherlin.

Sherlin glanced at Gloxinia, not usually she just kept quiet. Usually Gloxinia is the most frenetic about her.

Meanwhile, Felix just stayed in the corner. She looks glamorous. The white fur looks soft and fragrant, on the tail is attached a blue ribbon that matches the color of his eyes.

A white diamond necklace with a blue gemstone attached to her neck. Felix looks like a cat! his pride is falling now!.

And of course, in Felix's makeup, he's also going to the tea party. Sherlin intends to take him, because to make it easier for him to be the center of attention. Doesn't bringing a beautiful pet make people interested? especially the girls, right? they are usually very interested in things that are cute and beautiful.

And Felix has all those criteria. She's cute, beautiful in the sense of form, and adorable.

A few moments later.

Sherlin was fully prepared, she smiled.

"You've worked hard."

The bright green dress patterned leaves adhering beautifully on her body. Gloves and shoes that beautify the look, the leaf-shaped pendant is a deep green hanging on his neck.

His face looks natural too. It seems like the servants have high talent.

And regarding the hairstyle Lili made, she finished it in a fairly short time. About twenty minutes.

Her hair is rolled like a flower on the left side and decorated with white flowers.

The servants shed tears, they dramatically praised their work.

"It's a masterpiece."

"Young lady is so charming."

"Miss like a princess in a fairy tale."

"Hey! isn't the young lady really a princess? are you senile!?."

"Ah yes.I forgot for a moment."

Sherlin looked towards Felix. "Yeah! Wow Felix you're so BEAUTIFUL."

Sherlin deliberately pressed the last word, making Felix who heard it become an emotion.

Felix swore in his heart. 'Basin' a rancid boy! _#.'

"Meow!."

Felix meowing made the servants scream while clenching his hands and beating their chests.

"Kyaa>//< cat young miss very cute!!."

"Oh no! my heart!!."

"Ughh I can't resist his attack of immortality!!!."

Sherlin chuckled, she held Felix and immediately went to the front yard.

The Duke and Duchess welcomed Sherlin on the front page. The Duke's hands were seen circling the Duchess's waist, it seemed like they had already made up. Well, it's all because of Sherlin's help.

Two days earlier, Sherlin and Duke planned a meeting in the backyard. They're planning something.

Flashbacks :

Tap tap tap.

The Duke walked quickly towards the backyard. Sherlin was standing there holding a book.

"Dad, you're late." Sherlin turned and ruffled her waist.

"Huh? I'm only a minute late."

"......tsk, stop. It!." Sherlin clucked and gave one of the books she held.

The Duke looked at the book in confusion. The book was titled "1001 how to be a good husband." And has an incredible thickness.

"One thousand ways to be a good husband? what does this mean, Sherlin?."

Sherlin grunts. "That's a guide to being a good husband! I have to read it and do everything in the book well."

Sherlin's father raised his eyebrows. He opened the book and read it. A few seconds later, his face flushed.

"Where did you get this book Sherlin!?."

Sherlin raises her shoulders. "I got the book from the library, so why?."

"....no one!."

Duke bit his finger. 'Tsk, did Sebastian organize the library well? why is there such a book in the library? or the library keeper who put this book??.'

'May my innocent daughter find this book!.'

The Duke cleared his throat slowly as he looked at Sherlin. " Echem...Sherlin, you better not come to the library."

"What's? why is it dad?."

"That library will be dismantled and repaired."

Sherlin surprised. "Dad! isn't the library broken!? why did it have to be dismantled and repaired again?."

"You don't need to know, just look later. I'll build a special library for you later." The Duke spoke while walking away.

"E-eh!? wh-dad! wait.haaahhh.." Sherlin sighed.

Why would his father do that? is the library okay?. But... special libraries.not bad either.

Flashback close.

"You're so pretty today Sherlin." The Duchess clasped Sherlin's hand gently.

Sherlin smiled sweetly and chuckled. "Thank you mother."

"Bring this up." Said the Duchess while giving a fan.

Sherlin received the fan, her eyes sparkling. According to him this fan is very beautiful. They have beautiful lily patterns and details, and,

"Be careful on my daughter's street, and if anything bothers you or makes you uncomfortable tell me." Duke smiled warmly.

Sherlin nodded her head and immediately got onto the horse carriage.

Taps.

With the help of one of the knights, Sherlin rode the carriage smoothly.

"Let's go."

"Well miss."

Tuk tuk tuk tak.

The horse-drawn carriage Sherlin began to walk away from the Duke of Edinburgh's residence.

Along the way, people waved their hands at Sherlin. Sherlin who saw that made her heart happy, she smiled widely and replied to their longing.

"Tsk, you little boy." Felix clicked his tongue.

Sherlin was speechless, she glanced at Felix and looked at him sharply.

"....."

"Ekhem! Felix, you have to keep your attitude there." Sherlin clasped her hands while raising her right leg to her left.

"......Hm."

Sherlin opened her eyes, she irritatedly looked at the window and looked at the bright ceiling.

'A bright day. I hope it goes as it should.'

I

P.

After some time, the chariot with the coat of arms of Edinburgh entered the territory of Count Evans.

The carriage stopped right in front of the entrance gate of the Count Evans residence.

Taps.

Sherlin descends gracefully aided by kstaria.

"Thank you, sir Nocton." Sherlin smiled sweetly.

Kstaria who accompanied him this time was 'Nocton Kylp'. He is a formidable kstaria and he comes from the Kylp family that has long served Edinburgh. And recently he became a kstaria of the Edinburgh family, well he is the youngest son of the Kylp family. So, he was the youngest and newest of the kstarians working in Edinburgh.

But, even though he was young and new to his sword skills could not be underestimated. At the age of 17 he was already a level 4 sword master. This achievement cannot be achieved easily by ordinary people.

And most importantly, he was included in Sherlin's list of personal knight candidates.

The nobles would usually have a protective kstaria after debut or after they reached the adult age criteria in the empire. Like William, he would be celebrating his maturity party in a few months. So, after the feast of manhood he would choose a private kstaria.

Ekhem, back to Sherlin.

He walked gracefully toward the butler who was in front of the gates of the Evans mansion.

"Welcome to the residence of Count Evans, daughter of Edinburgh." The butler bowed his body.

Sherlin smiled sweetly. "Thank you for the welcome, sir."

He looked at the butler of the Evans residence and smiled meaningfully.

Now, the real plan begins.

TBC.
