Chapter 180

Oh, it suddenly became so bright. Its Ducal Lady Everett. I

Ducal Lady Everett, you must also be participating in the hunting competition. Oh, I apologize for the late greeting. I am

Insults were insults, but popularity was popularity. Just like at the banquet, numerous people approached Violet.

Even though she wasnt in a dress, young noblemen, with eyes filled with personal motives, approached Violet, asking her to be their escort.

Apologies, but I have a prior commitment.

She questioned all those men with just one short sentence. It was tiresome, but she couldnt show it.

However, being from prestigious families, they were persistent, and even if there was a prior commitment, they didnt easily step back. Just as Violet was about to express her displeasure at their behavior, an unwelcome voice interrupted.

Sister!

When Everetts third son, also known as a troublemaker, appeared, the entourage that had stubbornly clung to Violet started discreetly looking around.

Whats this? Do you know them?

I, uh, ahaha. Im Otrey from House Ritaun. Oh, now that I think about it, our group is over there, so see you!

A useless troublemaker turned out to be helpful for the first time. Violet sighed inwardly.

Though attention shifted back to Cairns entrance, it was better than being surrounded by flatterers.

Violet briefly considered whether it would have been better if she had come with Cairn from the beginning but abandoned that thought in less than a second. She had no intention of voluntarily going around with Cairn from now on.

Sir Aldin, its been a while.

As Violet greeted him, Aldin gave her a smile. He seemed a bit awkward.

Aldin, dressed in the official uniform of the First Knight Order, looked truly splendid. His tall stature and good proportions were enough to make the hearts of many young ladies flutter.

Indeed, among those looking in his direction, there were quite a few young girls blushing and giggling.

Once his still youthful face would mature completely, hed become even more handsome. Without realizing it, Violet found herself imagining Aldins mature voice and cleared her throat.

N-No, its not that I just meant it as a token of gratitude

I know. In fact, I brought a few more handkerchiefs to give to others as a gesture of appreciation.

As Violet smiled and took out another handkerchief, Aldin looked suddenly dejected. His expression resembled a disappointed puppy. In that moment, Violet felt a pang of curiosity when Cairn expressed his unfairness.

Even though its a failure, give it to me!

Do you really have no conscience?

Nope, I dont, so give one to me too!

Not even a three-year-old child would behave like this. Violet, tongue-clicking in mock disapproval, tossed a handkerchief to Cairn. She gave him a comically failed piece.

You havent given one Brother yet, right?

Does no one in House Everett have a conscience at all

Even though it was a painting of a red rose where the colors bled and the form was distorted, Cairn beamed as if he was endlessly pleased.

Violet clicked her tongue disapprovingly.

A friendship handkerchief

Meanwhile, Aldin muttered quietly while watching the siblings. It was said that amongst the commoners, there was a day when people encouraged confessions by giving sweet treats, and for those who didnt receive anything on that day, they would give out friendship desserts and its similar to the handkerchiefs that Violet was giving out.

Nevertheless, it was the first time he had received something, so he carefully put the handkerchief away.

As the event hosted by the imperial family was scheduled to start soon, the waiting lodge for the hunting event was vibrant.

Those with friendships already formed gathered in groups, exchanging various conversations. Discussions revolved around who would be the winner of this hunting competition, who they wanted to give their handkerchiefs to, or who they hoped to receive handkerchiefs from.

Violet, receiving both admiration and criticism simultaneously, was once again the subject of discussion when it came to her handkerchiefs.

Hello, everyone!

As bright as springtime, a cheerful girl with a bell-like voice spoke up.
