Chapter 330- Greeting

“Let’s see… what’s the flow of today’s party?”

I had some extra time after I finished putting on the outfit I had sized, so I started to recap the flow of today’s party.

“First, me, Sophie, and Judson nii-sama will make the greeting rounds……”

Before Brother Andrei, Father, and Mother come to the party, we will give a short speech to thank those who came to the party. The order of the greetings is also set, starting with Andrei’s fiancée, followed by the highest-ranking nobleman, and then by the people with whom he has had the most contact. I had to make sure I didn’t make a mistake.

By the way, I heard that Andrei nii-sama has a fiancée. I heard that when he settles down as a lord, the other will come here to marry him. Incidentally, that partner is the eldest daughter of a count family that is one rank lower than the Magrave.

“Zero nii-sama, you don’t have to worry too much about it. I will follow up perfectly even if something happens.”

“No, I’m not going to rely on Sophie all the time……”

Sophie came to the room where I was alone as I finished changing into my costume. Of course, she was aware that Sophie was coming because of my high-speed magic detection. I turned back to her and tried to talk to her, but she stopped talking.

“First of all, is there anything you would like to say to me?”

“…You look good.”

“Is that all?”

“…… You look beautiful.”

“Fufu. Thank you!”

This is the first time I’ve seen Sophie in this dress. Sophie’s dress is the opposite of mine, it is mainly white, and the skirt-like thing extends below the knees. And from below the knees, black knee-highs or tights? Tights? The dress was white and simple, so Sophie’s beautiful emerald green hair and eyes looked even more beautiful. Sophie was so beautiful that I couldn’t help but stop mid-sentence.

“You didn’t match the color of your outfit with mine, Zero nii-sama.”

“Did you really think I would choose white?”

I rarely wear white. Because if it gets dirty, it’ll stand out. That’s why I prefer to wear black.

“You both look great.”

“Judson nii-sama looks good, too.”

“I do? Thank you.”

After talking with Sophie for a while, Judson nii-sama came over.

“For some reason, when I look at the two of you, I get the feeling that you’re going to get married.”

“Huh…..?”

“Fufu…”

When I took a closer look at Sophie’s outfit, I felt that it was designed somewhat like a wedding gown. I don’t really remember because I never had a chance to look at such a wedding dress. I don’t know if there are wedding dresses in this world to begin with.

Also, did Sophie choose an outfit like a wedding dress when she read that I chose a simple black, groom-like outfit with few ornaments at first glance? No way…I don’t think so

“Well, it looks like all the people we invited are here now, so let’s get going.”

“Uh, alright.”

“I understand.”

The three of us went into the party hall and started to greet the guests.

“Zero nii-sama…your cheeks are drawn back and your smile is breaking.”

“Sophie you’re looking pretty bad too, so you’d better watch out.”

I was rebuked by Sophie in a whisper. But I think Sophie probably looks worse than me.

“This is my daughter, Letitia.”

“Thank you for inviting me, Zeros-sama, Judson-sama, and Sophia-sama. It is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Letitia.”

I thought that many dukes and marquises come all the way from far away, even though all they have to do is change the lord of a Margrave’s house. The reason for this is to introduce their sons and daughters to me and Sophie, who don’t even partners yet. I heard that Judson nii-sama already has a candidate. He went to the trouble of calling me, the third son, by my name before the second son, Brother Judson.

Sophie and I have been playing very well in the inter-school competition. We even received a reward from the king himself. However, it’s probably not normal for a man like me to be introduced to an important daughter by a nobleman of a higher rank.

“If you like, I can be Zeros-sama’s concubine…”

And every time I am told that they want to be my concubine. They’ve never asked to be my wife. I somehow understood the reason for this in our conversations.

It is because they think that my real wife is Shana. I think it is closer to saying that they assume so than to say they think so. Since it is only an assumption, Shana’s name itself has not been mentioned even once. Is it assumed that it is in the best interest of the family to give a daughter to someone who is the real wife of a royal? The look on Sophie’s face when she realized that Shana was considered my real wife was… very scary.
