Each one of the ladies attending the party tonight is wearing layered and expensive-looking dresses decorated in colorful silks. Everyone wears their new dresses or suits which will be discarded after the party ends later. In the sky, the moon provides them with a natural glowing light that penetrates through the huge windows in the palace and sometimes hits the crystal chandeliers hanging on the ceilings. A sweet melody is playing through the busy atmosphere. A collection of violinists, harp players, and pianists are all placed at the far end of the hall and playing a soft and sweet melody to add liveliness to the party tonight. Every guest can notice the sweet smell of lavender which has been placed at various intervals around the room earlier that day.

"I believe what happened just now is something that should be discussed between us. There is no need for an outsider to interfere with it.""T-That...""You said to say that I'm rude. But isn't ruder to join the conversation between siblings..."Charlotte paused for a moment to give Lady Silica a cool look."Especially when you know nothing about what we are talking about.""I—""Unless Roselyn mentions something to you about me.""N-No, sister. That's not true.""Oh."Roselyn quickly denies what Charlotte is trying to say. If she doesn't stop her, it will look like Roselyn is gossiping about her older sister to other people. It can be a stain on her pure reputation if someone at this party can hear them. "Maybe you misunderstood my friend, sister. Lady Silica is a very protective friend of mine. Maybe a misunderstanding arise when she saw us talking.""I see. But..."Roselyn wants to click her tongue in annoyance but she cannot do it in front of these people. Why is she dragging thi

"Can I now go back to my room?""B-But your wounds—""You don't have to be concerned about it." The Countess's hand that is about to hold her daughter has stopped because of those words.

Since the people who were following them are no longer around, Charlotte decided to come out of the shop that she entered and continue patrolling the plaza in secret. Earlier, she quickly noticed that a few men were following them in secret. Charlotte thought those were their enemies and they found out about her identity. But after observing their movements, she quickly discovered those men are just ordinary goons that can be found in dark alleys or slums.They are probably attracted to her pouch since it has sapphire stones on its lock. Aside from it, she only has a maid and one knight to accompany her in this huge place. Although they have already tightened their security in the empire to prevent crimes from happening, some people are still hard-headed and try to do their bad habits repeatedly.When Sir Lance returns, he quietly reported that he already dealt with those goons a
