Feeling triumphant, Venti pretended to wave her hand at the elated boy and turned away. Then, she handed the mail to Kosha, the housekeeper, and put the five envelopes into her apron pocket.
Kosha asked, “Could it be that all of those are replies? Saying they’ll attend the lady’s tea party?”
Venti replied, “That’s right. Maybe more will come by evening?”
Kosha shook her head, tongue-tied, while glancing at the letters.
Tea party, and with eighteen-year-old kids bustling around! A tea party with all those youngsters! It was the first time since she started working at the Balternminster Ducal Residence.
In the very old days, during the time of the previous duchess, she would occasionally invite nearby noble ladies to host parties or reading gatherings. However, this upcoming tea party wouldn’t be as elegant and quiet…
“The mansion will be turned upside down. If everyone starts running around like milady, the grass in the garden will all die.”
Venti climbed the stairs to the east, chuckling as if she didn’t know anything.
“Then plant new ones. What’s there to worry about? Mayana or talking about it, the ducal residence overflows with money!”
Arianthe was excited. No, saying she was excited was not enough. She couldn’t stay still, like a child who had stolen a handful of sugar.
Later, when Mayana looked back at Arianthe from morning to afternoon, the same thought occurred to her. There had never been a moment when Arianthe’s feet were on the ground for more than three seconds.
“Tea party! Tea party! Tea party!”
Having received the five replies brought by Venti, Arianthe bounced around, spinning around Mayana. Worried that she might fall, it would be a big problem—if there was a child who wanted to show her bruised face to her peers for the first time—Mayana quickly grabbed Arianthe’s shoulders.
“Lady, calm down. Be quiet.”
Then Arianthe, looking at Mayana with widened eyes, squirmed. When calming a child, Mayana used a method similar to dealing with excited puppies in her previous life.
With just a little force applied, looking straight into the eyes, and speaking in a lower voice. Then the puppies generally whimpered but became quiet…
“Tea party! Tea party! I’m going to have a tea party!”
But Arianthe was not a puppy! She had as much energy and a seven-year-old head that was even better. Moreover, she knew how to express her feelings with words! Mayana, who grabbed her shoulders with a bit more force, looked at her.
“Lady, calm down. Be quiet.”
Then Arianthe, looking at Mayana with widened eyes, squirmed. When calming a child, Mayana used a method similar to dealing with excited puppies in her previous life.
With just a little force applied, looking straight into
“What’s the matter?”
Mayana, who had been lost in thought for a moment, spoke.
“It could be because of illness, or maybe they went on a trip and left the house empty… There could be various reasons.”
“But you’ll still have the tea party, right?”
Mayana nodded confidently. It was far more effective than speaking with a gentle tone and gripping the shoulders. As if Mayana’s assurance was a divine revelation, Arianthe suddenly became quiet, tightly holding the letter envelope in her hands.
“I want to open this.”
“I’ll open it for you. If you cut your hand with the letter opener, it’ll be a big problem.”
“Quick! Hurry up and open it! And I’ll read it!”
Arianthe’s voice was so loud and lively that even Bridget in the living room wondered what was happening and peeked into the bedroom. However, since there was no letter opener in the bedroom, Mayana went to the study with Arianthe.
If Arianthe were a bit older, it would probably be a place for her to gather her peers and have chit-chat or her own ‘tea party.’
“Where are you going?”
Bridget followed along and asked. Her face was also full of anticipation. Arianthe, holding Mayana’s hand, once again hopped like a rabbit, grabbing Bridget’s hand without hesitation.
“We’re going to open the letter! A reply came saying they’ll come to the tea party. Venti brought it a while ago!”
“Oh my, really! That’s why Venti brought a bunch of letters. I thought Venti’s boyfriend was finally making an ardent confession and proposing!”
However, instead of a proposal, Venti, who hadn’t received a single letter from her lover, was busy wiping the study desk and rushed out noisily.
“Bridget, if you keep talking nonsense, I’ll wipe your lips with the desk cloth I was using!”
Upon hearing this, Bridget widened her small eyes and covered her lips slightly.
“Oh, Venti. Were you there? I thought you weren’t here. But nonsense? Why would I say such things? I thought your lover would soon propose and you’d quit this place once you get married. Isn’t that right?”
Mayana glanced at Bridget’s face. However, there was no malice on her plump face. Really, not a bit!
For Venti, that was the biggest headache. Rather than dealing with Bridget, who would throw herself into every trouble, it would be better to grab her by the hair and pull her in. Surprisingly, Bridget had no malicious intent at all.
And it was true that Venti deliberately gathered only maids without lovers and loudly declared that she would quit this place if her lover proposed and they got married…
“Anyway! Stop bothering about my affairs and focus on your duties as a new maid! Understand?”
“Is Ivy doing her job well?”
This time, Bridget responded with a tone that seemed to wonder why Venti was angry.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
