It was finally the day of Cordelias coming of age evening party.

Cordelia was waiting for her turn with Isma. She was told that she would appear in front of the guests when the signal appears after Elviss speech.

After I enter, I will bow to everyone, dance with Isma-oniisama and then greet the guests with Otou-sama. By doing this, I can choose which aromas to give the guests she went over this in her mind and Isma laughed next to her.

I thought you would be calm, but youre not smiling.

Really?

Its okay. Youre beautiful, so you only have to act dignified. The new aroma also suits you well. What scent is that?

Its the scent of roses. I changed the way I extracted essential oils.

Did you use the same flower?

Yes. Its the red rose in the greenhouse.

Oh, the extraction method changes the aroma a lot.

Isma said and looked as if he was in deep thought, so Cordelia tilted her head.

Onii-sama? Whats wrong?

You used the rose youve been planting in the greenhouse for that scent, right?

Yes. My friends mother does selective breeding on roses, and he gave me one.

I see

Is something wrong with that rose?

No, Ive seen a similar flower at the royal castle. But, its probably a different breed.

Cordelias rose, which emphasized on fragrance, didnt have any special characteristics on its petals. There are many other red roses, and Isma might have made a mistake.

You take good care of that rose, dont you Cordelia?

Yes, its my favourite flower.

The fragrance was different from the one in my previous life but due to the difference in rose varieties and extraction methods, its definitely my favourite.

(The first leading stage in my life The environment and my condition should be at the best.)

Cordelia thought as she raised her face and stared straight at the door.

The butler, Hans, looked inside the hall and looked for an opportunity for Cordelia to enter.

Now, its time. Cordelia, your hand.

Yes, Onii-sama.

Your smile is back to how it normally is. Ill say it once again, congratulations on becoming an adult.

Thank you very much.

The only disappointing thing about today is that Im your partner. It would have been alright if you had a nice fianc. Well, I dont have one either, so youll have to put up with me today.

Isma joked and Cordelia desperately tried not to laugh.

Then, the hall door was opened, and the sight was more dazzling than she had imagined it to be.

The hall was glistening from the chandelier and lamps, and the gazes of the guests which all turned to her at once made her feel this way.

Strangely enough, she wasnt as nervous as when she was waiting.

She didnt have that much time, but she was able to observe her surroundings calmly. She had hammered the names and faces of those who were coming tonight, so she could see the people in front of her and from the corner of her eyes. There shouldnt be anyone who didnt attend.

She could also hear the peoples voices clearer than she had thought. Among them, there were people talking about the fragrance she was wearing, and a smile naturally appeared on her face.

Then, as she proceeded into the hall, she could see Nirupama, Marquis Flantheim and his wife, and Vernoux and she also noticed an unexpected person.

(Thats Onee-sama?)

Nice to meet you, Cordelia-san. Youre much prettier than the rumours say you are. I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart.

Im a bit late, but I want to congratulate you as well. Congratulations.

When Cordelia thanked them, the Duke and Duchess smiled.

However, the Duchess glanced at Nirupama straight after that.

I told Nirupama every time I attended her tea party that I wanted to meet you, Cordelia-san. But, she always tells me that the aromas are still in the testing stage and wouldnt pass along my message.

Oh my, we cant let the Duchess become a tester, now can we?

But, arent you using it, Nirupama? And isnt Sara also using it even though shes not related to Cordelia-san?

Nirupama and Cordelia laughed at the Duchess who had said that childishly even though she was acting graceful.

Say, Cordelia-san. Youre planning on opening a store in the noble street, right? When is it going to open?

All I can say is that it depends on the preparations, but I have prepared gifts for everyone to take home. I hope you will try it if you dont mind.

Oh my, really?! Im looking forward to it.

The Duchess, who had heard Cordelias reply, took her hand. Cordelia widened her eyes for a moment, then smiled.

However, at the same time, she heard some noise near her even though it sounded a little suppressed. That was when she realised just how much people were anticipating her products.

Then, I have to hand them goods that are beyond their expectations, Cordelia concentrated magic into her eyes and looked straight at the Duchess to see which scent would suit her.

(Im sure the Duchess would like geranium essential oils.)

In that case, Ill make a gift set with geranium face treatment oil, lavender scented balm, and grapefruit scented aromatic bathing bombs.

Cordelia concluded and beckoned at Emina who was waiting. She took out an ornament ball with a green strap from the basket that Emina was holding. It was a bracelet with beads on it.

If I give you your gift now then youll have to carry it around. Ill make time to give it to you when you leave, so please hold onto this until then.

Thanks, Cordelia-san. Id like to talk to you a bit more, but if I monopolise you too much then others wont get the chance to talk to you. Ill invite you to a tea party next time. Please come.

Your sister will be there too, so you dont have to worry.

She didnt know how to answer when Malvina was brought up, but she was thankful for the Duchesss invitation.

(Maybe Oba-sama and Sara-sama made it easier for me to be invited to tea parties?)

However, she couldnt ask in this place in front of the Duchess, she felt like her aunt would avoid the question and say that it was a secret.

Ah, but before we leave, your sister needs to congratulate you.

Malvina appeared from behind the Duchess after she said that.

Malvina, who resembled Isma more than Cyrus, laughed quietly.

Congrats, Cordelia.

Thank you very much, Onee-sama.

Im going to stay here tonight. Would you like to have some tea with me before I leave tomorrow?

Okay, Im looking forward to it.

While accepting the unexpected offer, Cordelia was very surprised.

After speaking, Malvina left with the Duke and Duchess.

Then, Marquis Flantheim, his wife and Vernoux replaced them straight away.

Youve become really beautiful, Cordelia-san. Elvis must be extremely proud.

Congrats, Cordelia-sama.

Marquis Flantheim and Sara-sama. Thank you very much.

Vernoux only slightly raised his hand in greeting, but that was because he was in front of his parents. After Marquis Flantheim and his wife lightly greeted Elvis and told her that they wanted her to come to the mansion again. Then, Sara received the ornament ball from Cordelia, and they left.

As they were leaving, Vernoux pointed at his own head. He was pointing at where Cordelias hair ornament was.

Youre using it.

She felt like he had said, so she smiled and nodded.
