Elise, unlike herself, was tormented by the daily delusion that Riena, the daughter of a wealthy and dignified family, would catch the Duke’s eye with more wealth and insight.
In the meantime, when the Duke sent a letter praising her insight, she was finally at ease, thinking that he acknowledged me.
Satisfaction created ease and generosity in Elise.
So Elise was able to let go of all the frustration and anger that I had been carrying all day when Aelfrie was late.
Moreover, the tea that my maid snatched also played a significant role in enhancing Elise’s reputation.
At first, thinking it was a tea I’d never heard of, she brought it to a tea party of a notsofavorite acquaintance as a gift.
But at that place, she was thrilled as soon as she saw the name.
“This was in the catalog that arrived yesterday. It’s the Empire’s new tea. How did you get it first? They said it wouldn’t be delivered until next month at the earliest!”
To that question, Elise answered with a nonchalant smile.
“The Ash Trading Company has received our family’s help, and this is a gift in return.”
It wasn’t a lie. Surely Aelfrie’s help was given and received.
But what Elise said gave people various room for interpretation.
What help could the fallen aristocrat Aradis Viscount have provided to get an item not yet in the hands of even the royal family or great nobles?
Like most people, those who heard Elise’s answer soon began to believe the most dramatic thing imaginable as if they had seen it themselves.
Within a few days, it was rumored that the Aradis Viscount was a great benefactor of the Ash Trading Company and had saved their lives.
Elise answered that it was a lady’s demeanor not to mention it anymore and proudly sprinkled the tea here and there as a gift.
Thanks to that, the number of families inviting Elise, even to get the tea first, increased.
Among them were wealthy and formal families that used to ignore Elise.
Receiving their invitations, Elise gained the confidence that my position had risen a notch.
It was natural, as Riena of the Count’s house, who she happened to meet, looked at me with an unkind expression.
Unaware of these things, Aelfrie thought Elise was in a good mood just because he brought the gifts.
That didn’t mean everything left for Aelfrie was worthless.
Aelfrie thought of the space under my bed. The place always hidden with old blankets and sometimes borrowed books. Now that space is filled with boxes from the Ash Trading Company.
So many boxes were received that day that, even after Elise and the Viscount couple took them, countless boxes that had packaged Ash Trading Company’s goods remained.
Aelfrie divided a few of them among those who wanted them, and then brought the rest to her room. Then she put her few belongings into them and organized them.
Until then, the only organizers in Aelfrie’s room were old, with gaps opening or beginning to rot.
After clearing them away and neatly arranging the lightcolored boxes, the room looked brighter just by doing so.
Then Aelfrie made a large flowershaped decoration with the ribbon that had wrapped the boxes, and hung it next to her bed. It became the only thing in Aelfrie’s room that was used for decoration rather than function.
Aelfrie looked at the decoration attached to her bedside every time she went to sleep. She still couldn’t believe what had happened that day.
The first day she had ever received a gift in her life.
Aelfrie did not doubt that that day would be the most astonishing and enjoyable day of her life.
Thus, little by little, the tumult of that day was forgotten, and Aelfrie returned to her normal life.
