Bab 164: 2.1.15: First Party (IV)

She stood, a bit worried that the Duchess was going to yell at her for being so socially conservative rather that do her bidding and making connections like she was supposed to do.

Her eyes wandered around and the musicians played soft music, envoking people to dance. Her posture was straightened as she tried to walk towards a group of young socialites to speak with, but they looked at her warily. They had overheard her introduction when speaking to Liliana, hence their cold behavior. Despite being young, the girls knew that the true daughter of the Warrington Household had died seven years ago, so this girl was highly a fraud. But who could be bold enough to impersonate being from the Warrington dukedom, a family just below the royal family?

Unfortunately, the young socialites were too young and not as astute as the Countess, hence they couldn't figure out her illegitimate status. So they decided that ignoring her was the best and safest route to take.
