Chapter 54: Social Party (2)
Impressions.
Noble social parties are exhausting.
I’m no different from Asella’s brooch. Like an ornament, I stayed quietly by her side.
Since this was her first party appearance, Asella received greetings from countless nobles. It’s honestly impressive how she remembers all their names.
Standing like a silent decorative object with a polite smile, just as she ordered, wasn’t too bad.
“So you’re the eldest son of the Gotberg Marquessate? It would be an honor to shake your hand.”
“I watched the martial arts tournament video. That Sword Expert Tanya! If she’s loyal to you, then you must truly be extraordinary!”
“I heard you cured the entire palace of the epidemic by yourself. Ho ho, I’m dying to know your secret.”
Dealing with middle-aged nobles is draining.
Well, even if Neria had come as our family’s representative, anyone trying to forge ties with House Gotberg would naturally go through me.
I’m sure some of these connections will be useful once I expand my business.
Father was never the social type, so it was up to me to make a good first impression.
