Chapter 5: Madam Bumpkin and Her Brother in Tights

As the evening sun dyed the land orange, Marquess Michael Evantail slammed a table in his mansion with all his might.

“Damn it! Damn it all! Our ban on attending formal events hasn’t been lifted yet! At this rate, we’ll become isolated from high society!”

When the servants passing by saw his wholly ungentlemanly behavior, they secretly shuddered. Michael was in a terrible mood because he’d been banned from all official functions ever since a minor incident he’d been part of at a gathering organized by the second prince. His wife, Samantha, couldn’t simply watch him be so distressed and tried talking to him.

“Please calm yourself, dear, and mind your manners.”

“Shut up! Don’t order the head of this house around! Agnes and that filthy criminal are to blame for everything!”

Michael slammed the table again, and Samantha and the servants flinched and shivered.

Hidden from view, a small silhouette watched them. It was Paul, the son and heir of the House of Evantail, who was hunkering down as he waited for the storm to pass. As he had seen how his father had recently started finding fault with anyone and everyone, he had realized that his sister’s presence had been akin to a breakwater, shielding the rest of the house. Paul still couldn’t respect her, but his feelings toward her had grown more complicated ever since he had come to understand that she’d been taking the brunt of their father’s rage alone.

After the Evantails had been kicked out of the second prince’s party, Paul had begun attending noble gatherings without his parents. His parents were still banned from formal events, but Paul had been shown mercy since he was still a kid, and his position as his house’s heir had also been taken into account. Consequently, an exception had been made for him, and he’d been allowed to attend parties. His family name had been damaged because of the second prince, so Paul felt even more pressure to secure a fiancée as quickly as he could. He was eager to find a partner soon to avoid winding up in a desperate situation like his sister had been in. His parents would exchange letters with another family in advance, and then Paul would attend an event and approach the lady they’d chosen for him.

Paul’s first party had been a small gathering of children who hadn’t yet had their high society debuts. He’d been in high spirits, dressed proudly in traditional attire for his first ever get-together with his peers. However, his expectations had soon been betrayed.

“Urgh, what the heck is he wearing?” a noble boy had said with a mocking expression as he pointed at Paul. In response, another boy, likely his friend, had started chuckling. The two boys’ eyes had been glued to his tights.

“Did he actually forget his pants? Who would attend a party in just tights?”

Paul had been indignant at the boys’ discourtesy.

“With all due respect, this is the proper attire of the House of Evantail.
