The Villainess and Modern Weapons
Chapter 44 Tea party 2
He looked at the butler of the Evans residence and smiled meaningfully.
Now, the real plan begins.
...----------------...
The butler escorts Sherlin to the tea party, precisely the greenhouse.
There are already some noble ladies who have come, they are chatting merrily.
As Sherlin was already a few steps away from the distance of the table the nobles occupied they started to look towards Sherlin and babble.
"Wahh! lookie! princess Edinburgh has arrived."
"Yes, you're right, but, look at that dress, it's so sweet!."
"The Edinburgh princess is so beautiful!."
"Wow, the cat next to him is so cute!."
"Yes yes! so cute! look at that shiny white fur!."
The drap drap.
One of the green-haired noble ladies got up and walked quickly towards Sherlin, she gave her greetings by bowing her body and lifting the tip of her dress.
His eyes glittered, he met red. "Daughter Edinburgh!. It's an honor to have you come to my residence!."
Sherlin smiled sweetly, she returned Yurilia's greeting and bowed slightly.
"Thank you for inviting me, Miss Evans." Her reply was graceful.
The green-haired girl shook her head quickly and clasped both her hands in front of her chest. "No princess, I'm the one who thanks you for coming."
His eyes twinkled and his mouth was unceasingly smiling. "J-also! your reply letter.s-very pretty. S-I'm so goofy lady!."
"......"
Sherlin smiled clumsily, she then politely thanked him.
Yurilia allowed Sherlin to sit down, she had already prepared her seat.
A few moments later Sherlin smiled kindly at the other ladies and sat sweetly on her stool. The bench was to the right of Yurilia and to the left was an empty seat.
Sherlin watched around, she glanced silently at the girls who were around her.
While stroking Felix, Sherlin looked down and closed her eyes. He tried to remember who was invited to this tea party hosted by Miss Evans. As he remembered, there were six people invited. They all have not reached adulthood, on average still 10-11 years.
Sherlin frowned confusedly, she then changed her expression and lifted Felix into her lap.
The girls who were at the same table looked at Felix in dismay.
One of the girls sitting at the same table opened her voice in a carefree tone. "Daughter, is that your pet cat? She's so pretty and cute!."
"!!!?."
Felix was shocked when he heard the word 'Beautiful' that the young girl said, he grumbled at Sherlin secretly for dressing her up like this!.
Sherlin smiled sweetly and stroked Felix's head gently, she then answered the question of the two-pointed girl. "Yes, this cat is my pet. His name is Felix."
The girls were shocked including the two-pointed girl who asked earlier, she covered her mouth with her right hand. "Oh my goodness! she male? I-I'm sorry my daughter.." Her great-grandchild.
Sherlin shook her head, she opened the fan she was carrying to cover her little laugh. "What's wrong. Felix does look like a female cat now, fufufu."
Smiling, the two-pointed girl looked at Sherlin in awe. "You're very humble princess."
"Yes, the daughter of Edinburgh is very kind."
"Hem! you're correct. The princess has a pretty heart like she seems."
Sherlin let out a small laugh again, she still covered her mouth with the fan in white lilies. "Hohoho, you've been praising Miss Banyant and the ladies too much."
"!!?!."
The girl gasped, she then smiled widely and her eyes glistened.
"You know me princess?!."
"Of course, who doesn't know the energetic girl of Count Banyant's family?."
Yurilia and the other girls chuckled, they enjoyed the conversation between the two girls while sipping tea and eating the cookies provided.
"Daughter of Edinburgh is right Miss Banyant, aren't you famous for your genius??. I've heard rumors about you hoho~." Sahut one of the bright yellow sliced girls.
"Miss Banyant and Miss Evans are quite similar. They both have an active and free attitude." The other girl starts to open her voice. He has purple colored hair and his tone sounds quite?
Sherlin laughed awkwardly while fanning herself. On the other hand Yurilia was met with red up to her ears.
"Eumm, by the way your fan is very pretty princess." Yurilia deliberately changed the conversation, instantly everyone immediately focused their attention on Sherlin's fan.
"Yes, I agree. Moreover, it looks very detailed."
Sherlin smiled slightly. "Fufufu, you guys are praising~ too much."
"Not true princess! we really admire your pretty fan."
"Ho~ so yes... thanks~." Sherlin smiled broadly.
The girls then excitedly told each other. Their impression of Sherlin was pretty good.
Sherlin thought for a moment. He saw if there were two empty benches here, didn't Yurilia invite around six people? where are the other two?.
"Excuse me, what is kal–.
When Sherlin was about to ask, she came to a halt from seeing a girl who had just arrived.
The girls were glued to the girl, they stared at her for a long time.
The girl looked uncomfortable, and she shifted her eyes. A moment later the girl nervously greeted.
"H-hello.s-good morning.." The girl greeted in a low tone.
"......"
The silent girls did not reply, making the newly arrived girl lower her head.
'I guessed it, it's always like this.' Inner the girl.
Sherlin widened her eyes and cleared her throat. He then smiled and replied to the girl's friendly greeting.
"Ekhem, good morning to you too.Here is the princess of Fortnum."
Clover was startled and looked up, he aimed to see who had just returned his greeting earlier.
And her gaze halted on Sherlin who was smiling kindly at her. He was silent for a moment.
Sherlin glanced at Yurilia and made a small coughing sound. "Ohuk!."
"!!."
Yurilia regained her senses and quickly allowed Clover to sit beside Sherlin.
"S-please sit down, your highness princess Fortnum."
"Yes, t-thank you." Reply Clover doubtfully.
He then sat down with a gaze that was always bowed.
Sherlin ber'oh'ria's. Turns out the empty bench was for Clover's daughter. Then, the other bench...for whom?.
'Hmmm.' Sherlin closed her eyes and thought for a moment.
A second before Sherlin began to remember who had yet to come, she was already troubled by a girl's question that sounded like she was cornering Clover.
"Daughter, I heard you live in the White roses mansion? is that true?. I once read that barbarians always lived in a cave or tent, oh my! if so..I hope you have no difficulties while living there, noble princess..." The girl who asked that question, was none other than Miss Gelard.
The meaning contained in Miss Gelard's words: "Daughter, I heard you live in the White roses mansion? it does not seem to fit you who always live in a slum. After all, the mansion is too luxurious for a barbarian like you."
Miss Gelard, that girl has a lot of masks. He was acting low on people of high status for personal gain, but upon seeing someone of lower status he would corner him with words that had veiled meaning.
Clover had no intention of retaliating, he just kept quiet while resigned. He was used to being treated like this when attending an event or meeting with nobles.
Sherlin frowned looking at Clover who was breaking out in cold sweat and clasping her dress tightly.
"Miss Gelard. Looks like you care a lot about your highness princess Fortnum huh? even so, you can rest easy because your highness princess has gotten a good education in the palace beyond you. And the daughter of Fortnum is very fast in learning it, she is a smart person quickly adapt to an environment that is foreign to her. You can calm down." Sherlin smiled faintly, her fan covering half of her face.
About the meaning of Sherlin's words are: "Miss Gelard, you are very disrespectful to the noble princess Fortnum huh? you take it easy because the Fortnum princess has received a different palace education from you who can only say sarcasm. You better shut your mouth."
Clover was again surprised, he was not stupid. He knew the meaning of Sherlin's words. The dark-skinned girl was again made to be amazed by Sherlin, her eyes twinkling.
"Fggrttk." Miss Gelard gritted her teeth, she forced her smile on Sherlin. He didn't want to make Sherlin angry because it would hurt her later.
The girls who were there just kept watching. Sherlin's reply turned out to be quite piercing as well.
Yurilia cleared her throat and switched the conversation to end this quite hot atmosphere.
"Ekhem, it seems like it's time for us to see the greenhouse. At this time the temperature is not too hot."
Sherlin nodded her head and got up from her chair, carrying Felix, followed by the other girls.
They walked toward the greenhouse, along Sherlin's street just silent as she looked at Clover.
That girl, even though she was a princess but she was wearing a dress that was too simple. His attitude and behavior were also very incompatible with his status. Sherlin realizes, in the world of this novel there are many people who have bad luck than him who only move on antagonists who have unclear fate.
Sherlin glazed over, determined to help the poor girl from her downturn.
