The ladies’ hearts were touched.
Princess Agnes lost her mother when she was very young. She and her nanny soon died as well.
The noble ladies here knew better than anyone else how important a mother and nanny were to a young girl.
It was a moment when the image of Agnes engraved in their memories changed 180 degrees.
What was in front of them right now wasn’t the troublemaker princess.
She was just a poor girl who lost the most important person to her when she was young.
The ladies’ eyes became moist when they realized that fact. The young princess in front of me felt so pitiful.
The Marchioness also had sore eyes, but she expertly lifted the mood that was about to become heavy.
“It’s a gathering of only old ladies like us, isn’t it boring? We need to share something that the princess will find interesting.”
Agnes smiled brightly at those words.
“No, it’s so fun and great. I didn’t know this before, but now I feel more comfortable with ladies like you who are elegant and have a lot to learn from. And above all…”
“…….”
“Being with the ladies makes me feel at ease, as if I were with my mother.”
With those words, the ladies’ hearts melted like sugar cookies.
It is true that these words were meant to encourage maternal love among noble women, but they were also Agnes’s sincerity.
I automatically felt at ease as I saw the gentle gazes of noble ladies looking at me.
The party that day was a success.
The only young lady who participated in a potentially boring party.
It was natural that the eyes of the noble ladies sparkled as the princess, who was called the treasure of the royal family, smiled brightly and cheerfully.
Agnes smiled to them as she felt the ladies’ eyes change as they looked at her.
‘It goes as planned.’
Since old times, in front of adults my mother’s age, the best thing was to give clear answers, pretend to read a lot, and eat well.
Then, everyone looks at me with strange eyes.
To be honest, she was almost coy, but no one noticed it.
To begin with, Agnes had a personality that was far from cowardly, and she was someone one would never have thought of being cowardly.
Instead, the ladies naturally came to think that Princess Agnes had really grown up.
It was around that time when the atmosphere was ripe.
Sponsored items began to be released one by one.
The Marchioness said she would donate the proceeds from this party to the temple and use it to provide relief to those in need.
As such, Agnes also purchased a teacup that she normally had no interest in.
And the donation items prepared by Agnes received by far the most enthusiastic response.
The crown prince’s words that noble ladies would like it were true.
The ladies’ eyes sparkled when they heard that it was a copy of a collection of poems by a poet named Grandel.
Moreover, the crown prince kept it separately in his office.
Noble ladies worked hard to obtain the poetry collection, and it eventually became the most expensive item sold at this sponsorship party.
In such a friendly atmosphere, the disclosure of sponsorship items was about to be finalized.
Suddenly, the butler of the mansion approached the Marchioness with a troubled expression on his face.
As the butler whispered something into the Marchioness’s ear, her eyebrows furrowed.
“What’s going on, ma’am?”
When the ladies sitting next to her asked, the Marchioness said as if she was troubled.
“I heard there is a customer who arrived late.”
“Oh my, at this hour…?”
The Marchioness sighed and ordered the butler to lead the way to an empty seat.
It was Viscountess Ross who was long late for her appointment.
The Marchioness had no intention of inviting her in the first place.
If it weren’t for her husband’s letter from her estate.
Viscount Ross was an ordinary court nobleman, and he seemed to have been at the convenience of the Marquis Melville due to a recent matter related to the marquis’ estate.
So the Marquis of Melville wanted his wife in the capital to invite Viscountess Ross to entertain her on her behalf.
‘a person who leaves all the troublesome things to me.’
The Marchioness of Melville wanted to reject her husband’s words, but held back.
After she became a writer, her estates were her property to be inherited by her own sons.
There was nothing she couldn’t do for her son.
So the Marchioness readily sent her invitation to Madame Ross.
She had no idea that she would arrive at her appointment time until much later.
After a while.
The Marchioness’s brow furrowed as she noticed Madame Ross coming in as her patron.
Mrs. Ross didn’t even come alone. She came in with two lumps.
The noble ladies rolled their eyes curiously, wondering who the late arrivals were.
Mrs. Ross sat at the tea table at the end with her two companions.
The people Mrs. Ross brought with her were Viscountess Gray and her daughter.
“Who is the person who came with you?”
“Well. The outfit looks ordinary….”
The ladies didn’t seem to recognize who she was at all. At that time, a noble lady sitting at the table next to us spoke softly.
“Aren’t you Viscountess Grey?”
Viscountess Gray?
Agnes’ eyebrows twitched as she listened quietly.
As for Viscountess Grey… ?
My favorite My love Kylo Gray… .
‘She’s his stepmother…!’
In the original work, Kylo’s narrative wasn’t discussed in depth.
However, it said that as a child he was bullied at Viscount Gray and left home early.
The ones who bullied Kylo were his biological father, mother, stepmother, half-siblings, and everyone who worked in the house.
In particular, the stepmother said that she really caught Kylo like a rat.
Agnes looked through the crowd at Viscountess Gray in the distance.
Viscountess Gray looked very nervous, as if it was her first time in this situation.
And sitting next to her was a young daughter who looked exactly like the Viscountess.
As soon as she made eye contact with her daughter, Agnes was taken aback.
This was because the child immediately pointed a point at Princess Agnes and shouted.
“Mom! There’s Princess Agnes!”
The expressions of the ladies sitting around were crumpled.
Even though he was a child, her attitude was extremely rude.
Viscountess Gray was startled and lowered her daughter’s arms.
But Viscountess Gray also looked at Agnes in surprise.
Agnes turned her head away, pretending not to notice their rudeness.
Due to the princess’s generous treatment, her favorability rose again in the hearts of the nobles around her.
Now that the process of revealing and auctioning the sponsored items had been completed, the atmosphere of the tea party was very free.
The noble ladies came and went, chatting with each other in elegant voices, and servants were busy carrying desserts and precious tea.
The ladies at the table where Agnes was sitting left to take a walk around the grounds.
Only Princess Agnes and her Marchioness remained at the table.
The Marchioness sipped her tea gracefully and studied Agnes closely.
“Princess, aren’t you bored at the party? I don’t know for sure because I don’t have a daughter, but today’s party doesn’t seem like a party that girls would enjoy.”
Agnes smiled prettily at the Marquis’ kind words.
“Thank you for your kind words, Marchioness. As I said before, I really like today’s party. You may have heard this ad nauseam, but it is truly a beautiful sponsorship. I can feel how much care the Marchioness has put into it.”
The Marchioness’s smile deepened at those words.
Her touch was everywhere in this capital mansion. It was a happy compliment any time I heard it.
“I feel ashamed to hear the praise of the princess, who has the highest opinion in the empire.”
“It’s sincere without lies, so you can be proud, Marchioness. It’s a garden so beautiful that you’ll want to keep it for a long time.”
How can I say such pretty words that are nice to hear?
In fact, this mansion belonged to the Marchioness.
Even though her husband had been taken away, this mansion was still hers.
Agnes’ words that it was a garden she wanted to protect for a long time were enough to touch the heart of the Marchioness.
The Marchioness felt more and more new to Princess Agnes.
Have you really grown up? Unlike before, the princess seemed more mature from her tone of voice and facial expressions.
The two of us were chatting happily for a while.
Suddenly, an uninvited guest approached the Marchioness.
