Chapter 72
Liv looked down at the pink dress she was wearing. The glossy pink dress looked so delicate that it seemed a single touch of a fingernail might snag it, but this was also a guarantee of its high price. Since Liv had returned from the Lartman Duchy, the Hamelsvoort couple had been providing her with even better clothes than before.
She quietly observed the people attending the banquet with a seemingly cheerful face. She was alone, as Hildegard was still out volunteering.
-Liv, I might be a bit late that day due to some business. Is that alright?
-Yes, it’s fine with me since there will be many people there anyway.
Emmett seemed worried about Liv being alone at the banquet, but Liv insisted she would be fine. Perhaps because rumors had spread that Liv had been to the Lartman Duchy, the noble young ladies, unlike before, didn’t pick fights with her. Instead, they left Liv alone, awkwardly watching her.
‘I’m bored.’
As Liv was thinking this and counting the number of flowers carved on the wall, a shadow fell over her head.
Looking up, she saw a noble young lady with an unfamiliar face standing there. Although Liv wasn’t particularly well-connected in social circles, she had attended numerous banquets. If this was a face she had never seen before...
‘Has she just come of age?’
Suddenly, Liv remembered that a debutante ball had been held while she was down in the Lartman Duchy. This turned her guess into certainty.
‘She’s a young lady who just debuted in society.’
The young lady greeted Liv with a smiling face. Seeing her bright smile with the most gentle expression possible, she showed the typical signs of a girl who had just debuted in society and was trying hard to make connections with other noble young ladies.
