บท 219: 214 ※ Duchess Remington's Ball [IV]

{"POOR WOMAN, YOU ARE PLAYING WITH HER."} So what if I am? Isn't her reaction amusing?

"Don't even say something like that. Can I hug you?" What?

I can't even deny because people would say I'm being rude to the Hostess. And I can't afford to be rude to her if I plan to bring her to my side. "Hm... Okay?!" And she did.

Chaos, do you feel any malicious intent? {"Not even a drop. She's clear. Seems genuine."} Interesting, but still incredibly awkward.

"It's been so long since I last saw you, child. I was caught off guard when I heard you had accepted my invitation, once you've denied all the previous ones. But I'm happy to see you again, my dear," and she's still hugging me.
