I was taken aback as I suddenly had a large bouquet of flowers in my arms.
My vision was all covered with flowers, and I couldn’t see in front of me.
Still, I said thank you.
“I never imagined that Your Highness would give me such a present. Thank you!”
Then the answer came back a little late.
I can’t see what Nicholas’s face is like, so I don’t know what kind of expression he’s making, but his voice was an unusually hurried excuse.
“…… Oh, of course, don’t get me wrong. It’s not just given to the Lady, never. I also gave my younger sister Ninaina a gift for her debutante.”
Nicholas summoned the servant again.
Perhaps he was also giving Jake a bouquet of flowers and a gift.
“Of course I have something to give to Young Duke Jake. Here you go. Congratulations on your first debut. Jake.”
“Ah, thank you for the congratulations. Crown Prince.”
Jake’s stern voice was heard. I barely glanced at Jake with a side gaze.
He smiled softly and held the bouquet in his arms.
‘No wonder…… I would be mistaken if I thought mine was bigger.’
Jake is taller than me, so the same bouquet must be looking smaller.
By the way, sure enough.
The hall roared at the fact that Nicholas, who had been indifferent the whole time, personally celebrated a debutante for the first time.
“Oh my God, the Crown Prince…… !”
“He must have prepared a debut gift himself. Ah, how jealous. Who is that Lady?”
When someone was referring to me and muttering in a voice full of envy, I could hear the voices of other nobles nearby replying.
“Oh, it seems that you didn’t know because you just came to the capital. She is no ordinary Lady.”
“No ordinary Lady?”
Hearing that she did not understand it, the other person, who was proud to be able to share information, continued explaining about me.
“Yes, she is the Crown Prince’s close friend for more than 10 years. I think she was one of the first students of the Imperial Kindergarten.”
“Oh my…… !”
The Lady, who looked at me and said, ‘jealous,’ stared at me with eyes that looked different again.
It was a burdensome look with more interest than before.
‘I expected only a few people to be interested in me, but umm. I don’t think so…….’
It was only then that I realized that I was making my first debutante, which was far from a quiet social debut.
‘Once this has happened, there is no other choice but to enjoy it.’
With that in mind, I brazenly put on a face that I didn’t feel any gazes at all.
With Jake and Alice on my either side, and the attendant holding a gift from Nicholas behind me, it was impossible not to be noticed.

After a while, the three of us met and greeted the Emperor and the Empress.
The two of them sincerely congratulated us on our debutante.
“Now, shall we go back? Emir.”
“Ah yes!”
With an impatient expression, Alice led me out of the banquet hall.
Of course Jake was still following me.
“Young Duke Jake won’t return home?”
Alice looked like she didn’t like very much that Jake was following up to that point.
But Jake won’t lose to anyone when it came to me.
So, in conclusion, all three of us ended up going to the Count’s residence where Alice lived.
Just before getting on the carriage, I suddenly looked around.
It had been a long time since the banquet had begun, so there were no new arrivals.
‘Yes, what did I expect?’
I sighed and thought of meeting Cedric’s two older brothers earlier in the banquet hall.
Ceyden and Cervan.
The two seemed to want to dance at least one song together to commemorate my first social debut.
‘But I guess they couldn’t offer it because of Jake, who secretly looked at the two of them from behind.’
I asked them how Cedric was.
I thought they might know something because they are family.
However,
‘Gee, I don’t even know where Cedric is right now. As you know, that guy, like he did when he went to the last subjugation, hardly ever brought a communication tool with him. You don’t even know, do you?’
‘Yes, Cervan is right. The last letter arrived a week ago. He seemed to want to attend this banquet. It seems like he can’t come because his schedule was delayed.’
Cervan and Ceyden were also unaware of Cedric’s current status.
‘Yes, he just needs to come back safely. Of course, it is meaningless to wish for someone who has become a Sword Master to return safely. And there’s nothing to be sad about not being congratulated by Cedric. I have already been congratulated enough and undeservedly by many.’
I decided to give up seeing Cedric.
Of course, there were still regrets.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
