章 141: Two long hours of gossip

Even though court life is full of events, I am one of those people who can't enjoy it to the fullest. Thankfully, because I don't want to attend every single tea party.

Still, there are some I can't skip.

For example, my own open day is a tea party. I can't just get up and leave. It's written in the job description: the Queen holds social events once a week for anyone willing to attend.

I'm getting used to it, though. And I can get away from it using the excuse of being tired because of pregnancy. I'll still have to sit there and listen to blabbering for a couple of hours, but there's no need to keep it going for more than that.

Babies have their perks, I guess.

Today, the party is chaotic because of the number of guests. Ladies from any rank came here with the hope of leaving a good impression. I might as well select a couple to pretend to be Ignis's mistresses and get it over with. That would solve every issue.
