Here’s the English translation of the provided Korean paragraph:

“The first meeting of the nobles usually began with a light tea party. Of course, Guinevere didn’t know this etiquette; Sioed had informed her.

So, they did hold a tea party, but Guinevere was not well-versed in the manners of the upper class. She didn’t have to adhere to such etiquette because she had already reached a position where even the emperor had to turn a blind eye to her.

Of course, she had attended parties before, but organizing one was a first, and it was also the first time everyone did nothing but focus on Guinevere. It was when she was feeling embarrassed about it.

Sioed whispered in her ear, “Take a sip.”

Guinevere mechanically lifted the teacup and awkwardly said, “I will.”

Then, everyone let out a sigh of relief and raised their teacups. Guinevere felt extremely awkward.

‘Why do I have to do this?’

It was when she, along with her determination to do anything for the children, was struggling as if her mind was swirling like dust.

“Thank you for the invitation, Lord Rodante. I am Elise De Moir, the mother of Juliana,” a gentle-looking woman said with a soft smile. As soon as Guinevere heard the name, she thought of the girl with those sharp eyes. She hadn’t dared to outdo Larisa… No, she hadn’t done that yet.

“Mrs. De Moir, I’m truly grateful that you came.”

Guinevere tried to smile, although it was somewhat strained. De Moir, who had done her best not to lose her noble pride despite her fall, momentarily lost her composure. But Guinevere had done her best.

“Yes, yes.”

Although she had fallen from grace, Mrs. De Moir, who had tried her best to maintain her noble dignity, lost her composure in a moment. Guinevere kept looking at Mrs. De Moir, wondering if there would be more to the conversation.

“Um, um. I am Katrina, the mother of Cecil. I’m working in the wardrobe at the capital.”

When Katrina caught Guinevere’s gaze, Mrs. De Moir whispered softly, “Thank you, Katrina.”

Afterward, the ladies who had been cautious started introducing themselves one by one. Sioed decided to remain silent as he watched the awkward situation unfold.

Normally, at noble tea parties, the host would assign seats for all attendees after memorizing every aspect of them. Since Guinevere seemed unaware of this, Sioed decided to take on that role.

At first, Guinevere led the conversation reasonably well, but when she didn’t know her conversation partner well or the conversation stalled, Sioed planned to provide assistance from the side.

‘But they’re introducing themselves quite adequately.’

When the ladies introduced themselves, Guinevere nodded her head. Before she knew it, Guinevere seemed relaxed, sipping her tea and enjoying the aroma. Meanwhile, the ladies were still tense, waiting for their turn.

‘Perhaps, they’re not true nobles?’

Most of them seemed to know tea party etiquette. Since commoners who were busy with their livelihoods didn’t have time to teach their children, those gathered here must be of the gentry class. Nevertheless, they all appeared overly timid.

‘I worried for no reason.’

It might even have a counter effect. If parents overly supervised their children, it could make things difficult for Larisa. Sioed began to worry about the drawing-room where only the children were present.

‘I wonder what these mothers said to their children before coming here.’

They might have given strict instructions not to make mistakes. Sioed was lost in thought, while all the introductions had finished. Silence filled the room once again.”
Here’s the English translation of the provided Korean paragraph:

“Everyone was looking at Guinevere with nervous faces. Sioed, too, was staring at Guinevere, wondering what she would say, when he suddenly realized that Guinevere’s tea had not decreased at all.

‘Could it be that she’s nervous?’

He couldn’t tell because of her expressionless face. Sioed hurriedly spoke up.

“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Sioed. I may be inadequate, but I am the home tutor for Miss Larisa.”

As Sioed spoke with a bright smile, people awkwardly followed suit with their laughter.

“I’m also new to this kind of gathering, so I was nervous. Haha, Mrs. De Moir must be familiar with tea parties, right?”

“Oh, yes. But I never expected to be invited by Lord Rodante.”

“I was so surprised when I was first asked to be a home tutor. Haha.”

As the conversation flowed, people openly began to relax. Guinevere watched them and quietly sipped her tea.

It was her first tea party. Even at balls, she only drank alcohol, and at banquets, she only ate food. So, Guinevere had no idea what else to do at a tea party.

“Did Guinevere tell the children about Miss Larisa because she was so worried about her? Did the children talk about Miss Larisa?”

“Our Juliana said a pretty friend had come. I saw her earlier, and she really is a lovely young lady.”

“It would be nice if they could become friends.”

“Yes.”

Haha.

Hehe.

Guinevere quietly sipped her tea. Doing nothing made her mind wander.
