"Um, Fernell, when are we supposed to go inside? Could it be that Miss Rosewood is already waiting for us, and our lingering out here might be considered rude?"

"..."

"Fernell?"

"Hm? Ah, yes, of course. Since you’re not accustomed to being invited to such gatherings, it’s only natural for you to have those concerns."

Fernell feigned composure, her expression remaining collected despite the question catching her off guard. In truth, this was her first time being invited to such an esteemed tea party as well. While she had spoken to countesses and other high-ranking young ladies during her academy days, she had never developed close enough ties to warrant invitations to their estates.

She debated internally. Was it proper to take the initiative and lead the group inside, or should they wait for Miss Rosewood, their host, to welcome them? Just as her uncertainty reached its peak, the doors to the grand mansion slowly swung open, and a young lady in a black and red gown stepped gracefully into view.@@novelbin@@

"Thank you for attending today’s tea party, Miss Fernell Roux Briel, Miss Marianne Hark, and Miss Alicia Rowid. I’m so pleased that you made the journey to join us."
