"No, you didn't expect Lord Wilhelm to be a part of the House of Lords that way."
"Yeah. Old bones, I'm a newcomer in aristocratic society. Regards, Wife and I"
"No, this way. Yes. Now come to my party."
"Thank you again then"
Happy dancing time is over soon.
And then there's the greeting. Master Wilhelm was in the position of Commander of the Knights, but he married me and became part of the Duke of Ambrose family, so I have to greet a variety of people. By the way, those who are greeting you now are also in the remote corner of the Duke of Ambrose house.
I'm not sure, but he says greeting is an important thing in living an aristocratic society. Even when I joined my father, he almost kept greeting me around.
At that time, I was only in as a Duke's daughter, so I didn't have to greet her around with you.
But now that I've become Master Wilhelm's wife, I have to have a meeting half a step back as my wife.
Without a word pinching your mouth while you two are talking to the public.
My wife can't even speak unless her husband prompts her to. Because it would be rude.
"See you later. Enjoy the ball."
"Ha. Now excuse me"
Greetings and a brief public discourse seems to be over.
Master Wilhelm signaled me with only his eyes and moved from there. Then you go all the way around the wall and get a big sigh of sigh.
For a long time, you look tired.
"Phew... don't get tired"
"What's wrong?
"No... like this, I've never been around to say hello... Mostly, it's Sire's escort when you join a place like this, or even if it's not, it's security on the premises. I never thought I'd be in this position."
Phew, and exhaled heavily, Master Wilhelm slightly loosens the tie around his neck.
My lords are supposed to wear a tie around their necks, but I have wondered a few times if it's not painful. And the fact that Master Wilhelm is loose like this now is still a painful thing.
Most importantly, I am also wrapped around a corset, so my stomach is painful. But I can't help it. Because that's supposed to be the outfit. I'm still fine, but she's going to wind up so depressed that she's someone with a tight stomach around her.
"But haven't we almost finished greeting you yet?
"Oh. Elizabeth told me, all the people who had to say hello turned. All you have to do is relax and wait till after the ball."
"Yes."
Master Wilhelm will sit in a chair installed in the corner of the venue.
I'll sit next to it, too. It's a ball, but it doesn't always mean we should all stand. Aside from my husband, I can't just sit with my wife.
Gently, I will lean my body against Master Wilhelm's body.
Master Wilhelm's arm and enough to hit my shoulder.
And Master Wilhelm didn't refuse me to lean that way either.
"Dear Wilhelm,"
"Mm?"
"Not really, aren't they drinking? Me, shall we take it?
It's just a greeting, and speaking of which, Master Wilhelm hasn't said anything.
I'm just a little thirsty, too, and what would you like me to prepare for Master Wilhelm's drink?
But Master Wilhelm shook his head against me like that.
"No, there's no problem"
"Really?
"Oh. When you drink on an empty stomach, you go around a lot. Non is not very resistant to alcohol either. I'll hold off now."
"Yes, sir."
Master Wilhelm has your thoughts, doesn't he?
If you get too drunk, you'll mean you're worried about your way home. Indeed, if Master Wilhelm is unconscious, I am very unable to take him home.
Then I came up with a good thing.
"So, Master Wilhelm"
"Hmm?"
"Do you want to go back to the mansion and have a drink? Let me take a look at you."
In the end, I haven't been able to talk much with all the greetings.
Most of all, it's a social place like this, and there's no choice. But if you go back to the mansion, it's just me and Master Wilhelm. We can talk to Master Wilhelm without disturbing anyone.
Isn't it the best?
"No...... mmm"
"What's wrong?
But as such, Master Wilhelm was armed with tannic surfaces.
And rub the white beard on your jaw, and then look at me with sorrow.
"... Actually, I have to go to the garrison again after this ball"
"Huh..."
"I told you the other day. He said he was in the process of doing business with the new Chamber of Commerce. I heard from a representative of the Chamber of Commerce that I wanted to talk about it... and the price of wholesale to the Knights is cheaper than the current Chamber of Commerce. And then there's quality, but there's going to be a long conversation around it. It took me a long time the other day..."
……
Sure, I heard.
When was it, when you came back in the morning? You think we're talking about a deal with a new chamber of commerce?
but.
but.
On a day like this, about...
"They're asking me to contact you after the ball. Exactly. You can't go through a ball hosted by His Majesty. Therefore, at the end of the ball, Noon will be heading there, and therefore calls Miss Natalia to escort her on her way home. Probably waiting at the entrance."
……
"On the way home, Miss Natalia and... oops"
Master Wilhelm stood up after he said so. I'll follow that, too.
The hustle and bustle stopped and the place became quiet for a moment. There is only one reason for this - His Majesty King Gaius, was raised with a glass.
"Gentlemen. Tonight, Edward's participation in the unveiling of what has become the new heir to the throne, was daunting!
This is the signal of His Majesty's opening with a voice that often passes.
And then, if Your Majesty signals a toast to tighten, the ball will be over.
That's right.
The ball - it's over.
"Keep up the prosperity in the kingdom of Freakista! Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Everyone around you drinks up the alcohol in the glass you put up.
And one, two, and we headed towards the exit. Looks like those who don't talk enough are still talking, but that's the end of the official ball.
And naturally, Master Wilhelm will also rise.
"Well, let's go home then"
"... Yes"
"Miss Natalia... oh, you're here"
Join Master Wilhelm through the exit to the entrance to the palace.
So, Natalia was waiting for me, as usual, upright immobilized.
"Good luck. Dear Wilhelm, lady."
"Mm-hmm. Nice to have Carol home."
"I understand. Now, lady, we have carriages over there, please."
"... Yep"
"Then Noon is going to work. I don't mind sleeping first."
"... Yes"
Master Wilhelm said so, and then turned to the Knights' garrison.
Drop that back off and then take the carriage with Natalia.
Fun, even though it was a good time.
It's ruined.
"... again"
"What's wrong? Lady."
"... Also, work, is it"
Why not?
We know where Master Wilhelm stands and how busy he is at work.
Yet.
It's sad -.
