Chapter 2

The next day, someone in the area was holding an afternoon party. Karen and Dan put in a good word, and the host happily invited Mary and the others to attend. They may have been unexpected guests, but anyone would’ve been glad to open their doors to the candidates for House Albert’s succession. Though Feydella was an insular nation, it wasn’t as if diplomacy was forbidden. They simply weren’t used to visiting other nations themselves, but the appearance of Mary and her family was their opportunity for diplomacy.

Mary also saw this as the perfect chance to show off her diplomatic skills, and she now stood outside the host’s mansion, overflowing with motivation. “I’m going to make connections with Feydella’s aristocracy by using my beautiful looks and elegant conduct! I’m sure my brothers will realize that I’m the most suited to be the heir once they see my splendid self.”

“When you put your mind to it, you can act like the perfect noblewoman, Your Ladyship,” Adi acknowledged. “I’m sure you’ll be able to make nice with everyone.”

“Right, and I’m sure it’d go even smoother if a certain someone stopped referring to me in that way. Don’t you agree, darling?”

“W-Well... I will make an effort... Now, let’s get going, M-Ma...House Albert’s milady.”

“That’s the worst you’ve done yet,” Mary said, her shoulders drooping when Adi still refused to call her by name. She could only wonder how long it’d take him to call her “Mary” naturally at this rate. “All right. Whatever you call me, I’m going to use this party to make my brothers see that I’m suited to being the head of the house!”

“Indeed...? I hope it goes well...” Adi mumbled evasively.

Mary glanced at him. “I will show them,” she repeated for emphasis, and even she noticed that her voice sounded weaker than before.

She had two objectives during this event: diplomacy, and showing off said diplomatic skills to her brothers. Those were her intentions, at least. Feeling her mettle chipping away, Mary turned around. Standing beside the carriage that their group had ridden over in were Karen and Dan, who had come to see them off. They were clad in a stylish dress and suit respectively, and they were discussing something with a maid who had come out to greet them.

Mary then cast her eyes towards Adi, who was sporting an indecipherable expression. His suit had some red embroidery to match with Mary’s red dress, and he looked fantastic. But when he noticed her eyeing him, he awkwardly glanced aside. There was nobody else around except for the four of them.

Indeed, her brothers hadn’t come. Or to be more precise, they had been left behind.

Their love for Mary was to blame. While departing, they’d begun arguing over which of them would get to escort Mary. Unable to just stand by and watch, she had asked Roberto to take care of them. He had responded by coldly stating, “If we still haven’t arrived an hour into the event, please don’t be surprised.
