Ninaina narrowed her eyes at Jake’s disgruntled words.

“Did you make that promise? I haven’t heard of it. That’s… … I’m sorry.”

But she still didn’t seem willing to give up on her.

Of course, so was Jake.

‘What to do?’

I could feel the tension flowing between Jake and Ninaina through my skin.

Ambiguously caught between the two of them, I secretly avoided their gaze.

‘Who will you choose?’

‘Emir, will you come with me?’

Somehow, the eyes of the two of them seemed to be saying that to me.

Apparently, we were right near the banquet hall, so there was a lot of interest from the people around us.

“Oh my, who are they?”

“The Princess and Young Duke Theion…… And between them it’s probably the rumored Lady Saeron.”

Noisy, noisy. Whisper, whisper.

Huh, since when did I become ‘the rumored lady?

‘I can’t stay like this!’

Among those who made their debut this year, the highest rank was by far Princess Ninaina.

Because of this, it was clear that no one else would be able to step inside hastily until she entered her banquet hall.

‘I have to make a choice, what do I do?’

Then a good idea to get out of this crisis suddenly popped into my head.

‘Ah! Then let’s do it.’

Naturally, I reached out my right hand to Jake and my left to Ninaina.

“Mir?”

Jake called my name bewilderedly.

I replied with a smile.

“Then, the three of us enter together. After all, we are friends. I’m sure everyone will think that?”

Hearing my words, Ninaina paused for a moment and then put her hand on her forehead in trouble.

“Ha…… I knew this was going to happen.”

“Well, Mir always makes fair choices.”

Although he clearly said something like a compliment, his expression was subtle. Jake showed that he wasn’t entirely satisfied.

“I can’t help it.”

“Then shall we go in now?”

However, both of them seemed to agree to my opinion in the end, and entered the banquet hall holding my hands one by one.

“Her Highness Princess Ninaina Clois Vetelliood, Young Duke Jake Theion, and Young Lady Emir Saeron enter!”

As soon as we entered, the loud voice made me feel thrilled for a moment.

‘I’m really going to make my debut!’

I don’t know how long I’ve wanted to attend social gatherings.

I really wanted to join in the splendid and grand banquets I saw in the original novel, the tea party where people chatted, and the small group that shared hobbies.

‘Oh, but isn’t this too much attention?’

But the joy is short-lived.

As everyone in this spacious banquet hall looked at us, I could hardly decide where to put my eyes.

Tables, terrace curtains, orchestras, and dance halls, it seemed that someone would make eye contact no matter where I looked.

‘Ugh, I’m not good enough to skilfully pass it by with a bright smile when I make eye contact with someone I don’t know yet!’

Whoa, it was around the time when I sighed and looked roughly between the ceiling and the window in the distance.

Not only did they watch from afar, but people started to come and say hello.

‘Oh my God, I have to be brave. It must be the first time everyone is out in the social world.’

The first banquet I’m attending now, held in the morning, was only for those making their first debut that year.

It was a consideration for the unfamiliar people who attended for the first time.

‘In a nutshell, everyone is meeting the other for the first time. If you went to the academy, there might be people you know, but…….’

There were also quite a number of nobles who came from territories other than the capital who did not attend the Academy.

Just then, I saw a Lady greeting Nina.

She was the victor in this delicate battle of glances.

“It is the first time I have met and greeted the Crown Princess. My name is Sophia of County Eastin.”

“Nice to meet you, Lady Sophia.”

Ninaina greeted her with her graceful demeanor.

In fact, the way she treats me and the way she treats others felt very different at times.

‘Still though, I’m glad Ninaina is not as picky as in the original.’

In the original story, Ninaina appeared like a very ruthless villain.

If she was the same as the original story, maybe I would not have been able to get close to her properly and wander around, and I would have been punished because I was bothering her eyes.

‘Whew…… I’m really glad it didn’t happen.’

While I was feeling relieved, one by one, starting with Sophia, they started talking to Ninaina and Jake.

Of course, there were those who greeted me as well as the two of them.

“Hello, Lady Saeron! I…….”

Each time I answered with a smile.

Yes, that’s the fun of the social world!

But why?
