Chapter 33 Chapter 33

Oh, Dame Iona, you dont even need to introduce him. This handsome partner must be Lord Leroy, right? Looking at him like this, he looks exactly like his deceased father.

Were you acquainted with my father?

When I was young, I met him a few times among acquaintances. He was very popular with the ladies at the time, and it seems that the son of that man will be also popular in a similar way.

The gentle-faced Count Ritzter and his wife exchanged a few words with them and then left.

There were a lot of invited guests, so it was impossible to stay with one guest for a long time.

Count Ritzer's daughter coordinated the time to dance with Leroy and followed her parents, but Erich stayed by their side.

Erich approached Iona and asked.

What are you doing here?

I came by invitation.

"This is not what I am asking?"

He must have been completely bewildered earlier, but his attitude now was more brusque than usual.

Was it surprising that the superior who had been sober suddenly appeared with a man?

Seeing that he wasn't even paying attention to the duke next to her, he seemed a little crazy.

As if covering up her subordinate's flaws, Iona naturally induced an introduction.

Duke, this is Sir Erich, who belongs to the same knight division as me.

Only then did Erich reach out his hand to Leroy with a reluctant face.

nice to meet you. This is Erich Ritzter.

Nice to meet you. Are you from the same division as Dame Iona?

"You're right. I am rolling very hard.

Erich, who glanced over Iona, said putting strength to the hand that was holding Leroy's hand.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

You are a very handsome man. It doesnt suit Dame Iona.

"Is that so? I thought Dame Iona was a rare beauty.

Leroy responded with a calm voice and withdrew his hand.

Erich's body was slightly pulled toward Leroy by an unexpected response.

Erich bit his lip and immediately regained his balance.

No, she doesnt suit you very well.

Stop it, Sir Erich. Swearing at your boss is like spitting on your own face.

Iona pointed out quietly. At that, Leroy smiled as if he was having fun.

Only then did Erich look back at Iona with a sorry face.

Although he had to leave before he could say anything else as the Count and Countess of Ritzter called him from afar.

I will come back in a little while.

After staring at Iona with sharp eyes, he turned to Count and Countess.

Since he was from the host's family, it seemed like he was constantly being called to various places.

Heck, since Erich was the second son, he was in a hurry to get married, even if not as much as his sister.

Unfortunately no woman would be deceived by that proud face

Are you forgiving me?

"well It's just, you're trying to be pitiful.

Leroy looked at Erich's back and clicked his tongue in pity.

It was an incomprehensible reaction, but there was no time to stumble over it.

Others began to rush to the spot where Count Ritzter and his wife had left.

Duke! do you remember me? I saw you last time with Baron Lemper.

Its the first time Ive seen you after that opera performance, and greetings Dame Iona. Did you attend with the Duke today?

Duke, I heard that the maternal grandfather of my in-law's cousin's friend's wife's cousin was close with your grandfather, but can't we see them as strangers too? That's what I'm saying... .

'It is a strange guy.'

Thinking so, Iona looked at the man sweating in front of them with cloudy eyes.

She couldn't even count how many guests she had already met.

At this point, she was confused as to whether or not actually they were the organizers of the prom.

Those who were even a little familiar with them, as well as those who had no contact at all, were standing in line to mingle words even once.

There was one reason Iona was accepting them one by one.

'That way, even those who couldn't dare to approach me will gather courage.'

Oh, hello. Dame Iona.

Sure enough, Iona's prediction soon became a reality.

A group of pretentiously dressed young men crouched toward them.

Iona put her hand on Leroy's shoulder as she had warned him beforehand. This meant that the target was approaching.

Leroy glanced at Iona's face and accepted the conversation.

You must be an acquaintance of Dame Iona, please introduce yourself.

"ah ! I am Joseph, the second son of Viscount Alushi.

I am Bette Peter. My father runs the Peter Merchant.

"I am

One after another, similar-looking blonde idiots finished introducing themself to Leroy.

Iona studied their faces carefully.

'It's a chaff gathering.'

It was to the point of wondering how they had gathered so many nonexistent people.

Of course, it was true that all of them had decent backgrounds, but if one looked closely, they were the second sons who had a hard time holding real power, or the children of wealthy families whose status was inferior.

'Well, I wonder if there is no other combination like this to bet on?'

These were the friends Nils had been hanging out with since childhood.

She didn't know the details because she was not interested, but she was aware of the fact that they had been together for a long time and looked after each other.

Living in the same house as Nils, she had many encounters with them as well.

Dame Iona, come to think of it, was the last time I saw you at the counts house? You became more beautiful while I didn't see you.
