Chapter 83: Friendship with the Princess?
<hr>
Finally, the day of the tea party had come…!
The tea party hosted by Angela was a large scale event held at a corner of the east garden. It was a prestigious party where wives and daughters of the country’s prominent aristocrats gathered.
While I could say that my family had escaped from destitution, it was not an event in which a daughter of a countryside earldom could attend.
I looked up to the clear summer sky with no clouds in sight.
(Un, I know. Only at such times was the weather was sunny and not rainy.)
Round tables with black tablecloth were lined up, and snacks and confectionaries were carried out one after another. Incidentally, all of the tableware was black and red.
Angela’s kuroko maids were serving tea, and I was currently sitting on a prepared black chair. By the way, the cushion was also red.\nTN: Something like this but outdoor I guess. It’s a horrible theme colours for outdoor party though.
(Uu, I feel nervous.)
Today’s participants were about five wives of powerful noble families, the most important being Angela’s relatives, the duchess and the marquise. And there were about 10 young ladies who were their daughters. Their ages were more or less similar, but they had the impression of children.
As the tea party was sponsored by the princess, they were in high spirits and wore gorgeous dresses.
And they all used the pheromone perfume… even the children.
(This reduces my appetite… it’s just right for my diet though.)
My weight, which had increased by 10 kilograms before I came, had decreased by 8 kilograms in the past two months.
It was thanks to my cousin Ryuze’s, who showed excess skin ship at the moment, enthusiastic participation in my exercise.
While I couldn’t achieve the goal Angela had set for me, since it’s around “Don’t you think your face is a little rounder than before?”, I’d like to think that it’s at an acceptable level.
First of all, after enjoying the greetings and chatting, the organizer Angela introduced me and I desperately tried to describe the items.
It’s a large opportunity to gain more customers, so I had to try my best.
[…So, what you are using now are the highest rank items. These are valuable products of Hakusu earldom that are limited in production.]
Since they’re influential aristocrats, I tried to introduce mainly the products with exquisite values.
They were terrible prices that were set by the miserly Ryuze, but it’s certain that their quality were good.
Of course, we also dealt ordinary products for those who had less money, and we planned to produce simple products for commoners in the future.
[And today’s main item is this perfume.]
I introduced the perfume made from musk and amber with flourish.\n
[It contains the ingredients of the popular pheromone perfume that everyone is currently using. Are there people who are currently using that pheromone perfume and yet feel that there is no effect?]
After my question, a few ladies timidly raised their hands. And for some reason, a young child also raised her voice.
[Papa always tells mama that she’s smelly! I was also told that I’m smelly too!]
The wife group was overwhelmed by the child’s cruel words. The killing ability of innocent and honest words was too high.
And the person who was told by her father that she’s “smelly” was also pitiful.
[…E, eeto. This, this perfume, it properly makes up for that deficiency, and is characterized by its refreshing floral scent that is not too strong. My cousin Earl Hakusu also highly praises it.]
When I gave out Ryuze’s name, daughters of marriageable age rushed towards me.
(Oo, as expected of onii-sama!)
The ikemen effect made the noblewomen and daughters interested. Ryuze seemed to be favoured.
I had prepared several scent samples, and the item was reserved one after another.
Sitting next to me, Angela seemed to be in a good mood. It seemed that she was satisfied with the pattern.
On her eyelids, her eyelash extensions drew round and elegant curves.
[Well then, let’s proceed to our usual art presentation.]
With Angela’s voices, all of their faces tightened. Although they were experience about it, all of them were becoming nervous about the presentation.
First of all, it’s the announcement of the children’s group. But just because they’re children, they were not to make light of.
The beautiful voices that were spun as the song began were clear like a famous foreign boy choir.\n
