Salon (1)

Salon is a Western European culture in the modern era, and refers to an exchange meeting hosted by a nobleman in his or her residence.

In this world, the salon is mainly a place where nobles who are close to their estates greet and swear allegiance to nobles of higher rank.

Well, even if we swear allegiance, it’s not a grandiose thing, and roughly speaking, we have no intention of arguing, it’s as simple as expressing the same meaning.

Not long ago, I was ignorant of knowledge related to this kind of cult, and the only reason I know this in detail is because of what happened yesterday.

‘So, you have to participate there~’

Because Victor was the type of person who would repeat what he said once when he got drunk.

Throughout the drinking session, I had no choice but to memorize the answers to the questions I had asked as a snack, even if I didn’t want to memorize them.

‘But this bastard has work tomorrow, so the guy who said let’s drink in moderation is the first to get drunk.’

When I drank two cups for the first time, I thought I would control it myself, but this is the way it is.

I sighed when I saw Victor, who had not yet woken up in the morning.

To be honest, I didn’t mind going to Jessica’s salon or anything like that, but since it was a promise I made with my mother, I wanted to keep it as much as possible.

“Hey, wake up.”

I said so, waving Victor’s body, drooling on the floor and drooling, but Victor turned his back and slept.

“Ugh… 5 more minutes… .”

“… … .”

young… foot too!

Inwardly, he fired a shot at Victor’s neck, and Victor jumped up as if he had been electrocuted and stroked his own neck.

“ha… .”

“Why? Did you have any nightmares?”

“No, I just dreamed of having my head cut off… .”

It seems that he mistakenly mistakenly thought it was a dream to recognize death by flying away.

“Anyway, if you want to get up early and go to the salon or something, you have to get rid of the smell of alcohol.”

“ah! Sorry, excuse me first.”

After saying that, Victor quickly got up and went back to his room.

– sniff.

I also drank together yesterday and it smelled a lot of alcohol, but I’m going to get rid of the smell first.

With that in mind, I went to the bathroom to wash my face first, but I was sad because I wondered what I was doing right now.

‘ha… What a salon to die of freeze.’

If I had been at home, by now I would have been basking in the warm sun in the garden.

What the heck was it that I had to attend a salon like the Count Young-ae?

Come to think of it, I’ve been trying so hard to avoid it, but these days, the amount of time I spend on my feet is getting shorter and shorter.

Yesterday alone, at the old man’s house, except once, I had only been able to walk for about four hours.

I’d like to set aside at least eight hours of time to meditate… .

‘It’s just a little bit of patience.’

Classes in the Knights Department consist of breaking through the dungeons made in Dalian or the Academy, and self-discipline, except for a few left studies.

Just the next few days… With just a few more days, the time will come when you will be able to walk freely.

Just like a flower that has endured a harsh winter grows new buds, now is the time to endure and endure… !

I finished taking a shower in the bathroom, thinking that I would get through this time.

And when I left the room wearing the tailcoat my mother had prepared, whether it was a coincidence or waiting, I ran into Victor wearing a tailcoat like me.

“Have you all changed? Go quickly.”

“why? Are you a little late?”

“It’s not like that, but low-class nobles like us tend to look bad if we go late. So we have to go as soon as possible.”

I’m not a company intern who goes to work earlier than my boss… .

I hope the day will come when people will realize that all lives are the same in this way.

“Then it will take some time to find the carriage, so ride my horse. That would be faster.”

The academy also had a student stable for students who brought horses or carriages, but the fee varies depending on the level of the facility.

The quality of the facility where Silence was staying was moderate, and the fee was about 3 gold coins.

After I pulled out Silence, who was resting comfortably in the stable, I picked up Victor and took the reins.

“Let’s go as fast as we can. Hey!”

We spurred on Silence and followed Victor’s instructions, and we soon arrived at the villa where Jessica was staying.

“Five… .”

Jessica’s villa was much more luxurious than the hometown of our estate, even though it was a villa where she stayed only during her stay at the academy.

Many people gathered one by one in the garden of such a luxurious villa.

It was clear at a glance that all of them were nobles, because most of them had at least one attendant to accept the tribute in the name of a gift.

“It seems it is not too late. When did the delivery come?”

“I said I would send it to you by noon at the latest, so it will come soon. Then we can go in.”

Even if it’s not something I eat, I definitely want to see what that katana 10-zaruchi dessert looks like.

After a brief background check in front of the guards guarding the gate, we entered the villa without any problems.

Of course, I forgot to mention that the patissier will come with the cookies I ordered around noon.

“If I say hello to Jessica, can I go home right away?”

“Shh! You can’t call it that way here! Young-ae or something like this, you have to turn it around!”

Aigoo, whoever hears it will know that she is dealing with any princess, not the Count Young Ae.

Is this the woe of the lower aristocracy?

Viktor, who pretended to cover his mouth with his hand, whispered in a low voice.

“And you can’t go back right away. In that case, you might think that this is because you don’t like this exchange meeting.”

“It’s not funny… . So, in the meantime, how about just lingering around here like a decoration?”

“No, we have to expand our discipline with nobles similar to us here. It’s an exchange meeting that’s called that.”

“under… .”

It seemed like I was going to have to spend a lot of time here.

With a sigh, when I entered the mansion, waiters with drinks on trays were standing nearby, just like at a party in a Western movie.

“Hey, you don’t drink.”

“… Hmmm, people can make mistakes once in a while, isn’t it?”

Even as Victor said that, he couldn’t take his eyes off the glass the waiter was carrying.

This guy thought that if he couldn’t change his drinking habit, he might make a big purchase someday.

“Victor, when are you going to say hello to Young-ae? I want to finish what I have to do.”

“Greetings are in order of title. we… Ah, you have already succeeded, but you have to wait a little longer, since the junior writer is the last.”

Saying goodbye is the last thing, and the one who comes is the earliest.

“Is that… But where is the young girl? I can’t see it, is it on the second floor?”

“I will. When it’s our turn, the attendants will take care of calling you, so let’s rest in peace until then.”

Even if I was to be comfortable, my heart was not at ease in the gaze that seemed to be judging the other person so blatantly.

Everyone gathered here, regardless of who they are, is judging the opponent with a squint.

There were very few eyes on me, but I was still conscious anyway, so I just leaned against the wall and listened to the quiet conversation.

“It’s been a long time since I saw Young-ae. It’s after Jessica Youngae’s birthday party last time.”

“Yeah, I remember. Even back then, you had prepared the most wonderful gift, isn’t it today?”

“Sure! A necklace made of grossula garnets suitable for young children, I’m sure you’ll be delighted.”

necklace… My mother and Victor both said that they liked desserts as gifts, but that guy said that he had prepared a necklace.

It seemed that he would understand the reason without even having to ask Victor this time that Seodanggae recites a bountiful month in three years.

It’s a guess, but it must have been that a person of lower rank, for example, a semi-baron brought a better gift than the baron and prevented it from flying out of sight.

For example, there will be some kind of tacit agreement in advance for the baron to the dessert, for the baron to use jewelry such as a necklace.

‘for a moment… So, how do you feel about gifting a 10-pack of katana as a gift?’

No, as long as you don’t skimp on the dessert, you won’t notice how much the dessert is.

I didn’t really care, and I spent some time sipping the alcohol the waiter brought.

And a few hours later, Victor, who was talking to another nobleman, came up to me and said to me.

“Now it is our turn. Let’s go to the second floor together.”

After putting the glasses back on the tray and going up to the second floor, we were finally able to meet Jessica Young-ae within a few hours of arriving at the villa.

‘uh? uh?’

I got to the second floor and saw Jessica sitting in a comfortable chair surrounded by maids.

Seeing Jessica sitting with a fan in one hand and her legs uncrossed, I stiffened, but Victor was different.

Although his body was stiff as if he was nervous, Victor slowly lowered his head in an attitude as if nothing was wrong.

“Honey, I’ll see you soon. I’m Big– Hey… !”

“… uh?”

While saying hello, Victor looked at Jessica and patted my stiff side on the side.

“sorry. It seems that this friend was mesmerized by Youngae-nim’s beauty for a while.”

“it’s okay. Rather, this kind of reaction is the best compliment I can give, isn’t it?”

“hahaha… ! That said, this friend will be very grateful!”

Saying that, Jessica unfolded the fan to cover her face, but it was obvious that she was laughing at me from behind the fan with the subtle movements of her facial muscles.

Jessica was definitely a woman that if 100 people saw her, everyone would say she was beautiful, but that wasn’t the only reason why I was hardened.

A little above my face, that was the real reason I was stiff.

‘Damn it, isn’t that a bun head?’

The head of a bun, it was not something you would see in real life, but something you would only see in a cartoon.

The head of the large bun, split in two, was long enough to reach near the waist when standing up, even in the public eye.

‘No, the author’s crazy bastard had been walking around for a year with that kind of hair, didn’t he just describe it?’

Even a blind person will turn around without knowing it when such a large bun head passes by.

“I will greet you again, I have come to say goodbye to you as I entered the Victor de Bow Academy.”

“You are the eldest son of the Bow family. Jessica van vongrind. I hope to go along well.”

“hahaha… ! How could you say such a thing to a guy like that? Ian… Come on, you too… !”

“yes? uh… .”

At Victor’s urging, I put aside the thoughts of the novel for a moment and took a step forward and stood in front of Jessica.

“Ian Ba Tow, that… .”

Just say your name roughly and say good-bye to the end, but when you see the bun’s head, the horse’s tail droops.

Is this the commonly referred to as bun-head reality shock?

“And what? Don’t be nervous and just talk to me.”

“then… .”

As Jessica spoke, I felt at ease and frankly told the thoughts that had been on my mind.

“… Are you setting that hair every morning? And don’t the bun hairs get tangled or twisted when you sleep?”

“… … Yes?”

“Ugh… !!”

Viktor’s hot gaze filled with resentment, even if he didn’t turn his head directly.

But what do you do?
