Chapter 61
The young lady who had introduced herself as ‘Hannah Hertz’ cut in with an amused expression.
“That’s because she has the highest status among the noble young ladies in this area. It’s not that she particularly loves the Duke, she just thinks the highest position should be hers.”
“Hmm...”
“But what’s the use of having a high title? In the capital, Marquises are a dime a dozen. What’s important is reputation, reputation. The kind of reputation that the Hamelsvoort family has.”
“This is all because Miss Malea is a frog in a well who hasn’t been to the capital,” Maria added.
The other young ladies laughed, saying Maria was talking about the capital again. The slightly stiff atmosphere finally relaxed.
“Miss Malea is that type. Someone who thinks titles are everything. She believes she deserves to be treated well because her title is high.”
“Anyway, it’s better not to get involved with her unnecessarily.”
Hannah said with an uneasy expression.
“She’s quite skilled at bullying people...”
Did that mean she might bully Liv herself? Well, but Liv was already used to being bullied by noble young ladies in the capital. Malea’s bullying probably wouldn’t be much either.
When Liv made an unimpressed face, Maria said that she indeed wouldn’t be a match for a noble from the capital, and they all laughed again at that. As a gathering of young noble ladies, the topic soon changed, and Liv quietly smiled as she listened to them introduce the surrounding area.
