Brittney heard at the tea party gathered by the young ladies, that Jereshien, upon learning of Kay’s late marriage, had been furiously making his way to the Green Duke’s residence.

“What if Jereshien does something to my brother?”

She feigned worry, but she was struggling to suppress her laughter.

“If something blows up, it’s going to blow up big. Jereshien is really angry. When Jereshien gets angry, it’s really terrifying……”

One of the young ladies at the scene spoke.

“Speaking of which, it didn’t go well with the wife of the Green Duke either. Without telling her family, without holding a wedding ceremony, just secretly filing a marriage report… Isn’t that completely bureaucratic?”

“Rather, bureaucracy is better. At least the government gets love. Even though it’s a strategic marriage, how could the Green Duke be so cold to his wife……”

The words of a certain countess, despite the content, were filled with a smug expression.

“Ah, I’m sorry in front of you, Brittney. It’s about my brother……”

“No, I’m also worried about my younger brother… Whether he’s not crying alone… The kid is a bit gloomy. He doesn’t speak. So the Green Duke doesn’t like him?”

“He might not. He married the flower of the Witlow Duke’s family, but if she doesn’t have any charm and is gloomy, it would be disappointing. Generally, don’t men prefer women who are hot in bed and sweet and soft normally?”

“Even though she seems to be a sweet and soft woman to Alford Viscount?”

The young ladies laughed out loud.

Most of the young ladies gathered here had been eyeing Kevrant, the Green Duke, so they couldn’t help but dislike Iris, who suddenly took the place of the wife of the Green Duke.

“It would have been great if the wife of the General Duke Nellanycus was also here.”

At the words of a certain lady, Brittney’s eyes widened.

“Why would the wife of the General Duke be here?”

The social goddess, the wife of the General Duke Nellanycus.

She was an object of envy for all the young ladies.

After becoming the wife of a duke at a young age, she quickly took hold of the social world.

Even the empress was rumored to want an invitation to Nellanycus’s social gathering.

The young lady who mentioned the name of the wife of the General Duke spoke.

“The wife of the General Duke used to like the Green Duke very much before she got married. Not long ago, when the Green Duke attended a party, she was sending passionate glances.”

While the young ladies were gossiping about Iris at the tea party, the wife of the General Duke Nellanycus was quietly staring at Jereshien Green who was sitting quietly in front of her.

“I never dreamed that you, Jereshien, would come to me with such a request. To help prepare for the wedding of Kevrant Green Duke.”

Then, Nellanycus spoke in a cold voice.

Zen elegantly lifted the teacup.

“Well, since the Green family has a reputation, it’s natural to ask for help from the wife of the General Duke, the goddess of the social world, when holding an important party.”

“Helping with the party of the Green family would be an honor for our General family, but……”

Nellanycus also lifted the teacup.

“The party I host doesn’t fit with the Green family, which only has reputation and no money.”

“Oh my, what a terrible thing to say. Are you saying that because you don’t know, wife of the General Duke? My brother said he’d be willing to spend all his money to prepare for the wedding.”

“Really… That stingy Green Duke?”

“Yes, that stingy Green Duke.”

The two women who simultaneously brought the teacup to their lips met their eyes and laughed out loud.

Nellanycus put down the teacup and said.

“Ah, I really can’t do it, Zen. Let’s just do it like when we were at the academy.”

“Yeah, Nels. Drinking tea while watching your sophistication isn’t easy.”

Zen and Nels were friends from the same major during their academy days, and they had been friends even before entering the academy.

“By the way, I was really curious when I heard the rumor about Kay’s marriage. Is Kay really married?”

“That’s what they say. He didn’t hold a wedding ceremony, he just filed a marriage report at the office.”

“What happened? Your brother hasn’t changed at all. He doesn’t understand a woman’s heart at all, he has his head……”

“Hanging as a decoration.”

Unable to say what she wanted because Nels was now a countess, Zen finished the sentence for her.

“But how did it happen? The other party is the flower of the Witlow Duke’s family, Iris. Really? Did he really marry the flower of Witlow?”

“Yes. Really. Really.”

“Is she pretty?”

“You know if you’ve seen the portrait.”

“Portraits often embellish.”

“The portrait doesn’t capture the beauty of our new sister. It barely captures half of it.”

“Really? But the portrait was stunning.”

“She’s even more stunning. She shines, so brilliantly.”

“Goodness. Why would such a woman… marry Kevrant? Surely… coercion? Kidnapping? Compulsion?”

Contrary to popular belief, Nels loathed Kevrant.
