Chapter 60 – Tea Party at the Margrave Heine Household

I can say that the shower room and soap are fine. Now I can go with my sister Rosalia to inspect the training grounds without her making a bad face.

When I was teaching the masters how to make soap, Rosalia said, “I want to try making soap, too.” We decided to make the soap together after returning to the house. Since we were going to the trouble of making soap, we decided to make scented soap.

When I left the knights and returned to the mansion, a servant brought me a letter. It seemed that Edward had written back to me.

“Well, it seems that Edward-kun is all right, too. Well then, I’ll send him an invitation to the tea party immediately.”

“Can I join you, brother?”

“Of course you can. you can invite your friends too.”

Thus the preparations for the tea party went without a hitch. Since this time, it will be held at the my house, I Plan to invite Giles and Christopher. It would be good to meet everyone.

After that, Rosalia and I spent time making rose-scented soap.

The finished soap was wonderful. I used my mother’s perfume without permission, so I hope she doesn’t get angry at me.

A few days later, the day of the tea party arrived. As soon as breakfast was over, I started getting ready.

In the salon with the most sunshine in the Margrave Heine family, the servants were busy coming and going. To keep the servants’ hands free as much as possible, I went to help Rosalia prepare as soon as I finished My own preparations.

When I entered Rosalia’s room, I noticed that it smelled good. ‘This scent smells like roses,’.

“Rosalia, you smell good. Did you use rose-scented soap?”

“Yes, I did. I washed my face and hands with it.”

“I see. Mother might be happy with this.”

I decided to secretly prepare one for my mother. I’m not sure if the other ladies will want this one. It might be a good idea to consider it for sale as well.

With this in mind, I helped Rosalia get dressed.

Rosalia’s hair was done by a servant. I couldn’t do that, so I helped her tie the ribbons on her clothes, put on her shoes and tie the laces.

As one would expect from a dress for a tea party, she was really into it. Just tying the ribbons is a lot of work.

When Rosalia was finally ready, a servant told us that the guests had arrived. I hurried to the entrance.

It’s my first time hosting a tea party, but it’s a lot harder than I thought it would be. From now on, I’ll do it when mother is around.

“Welcome, Edward-dono. This is the first time meeting you two. I am Julius Heine.”

“Julius-sama, it’s been a long time. Let me introduce you. This is Baron Billy Stanfield and Baron Platon Arkhipov. Sometimes the three of us get together to develop magic tools.”

“Nice to meet you, please call me Billy.”

“Edward told me about you. I am Plato. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Billy and Plato bowed. It seems you guys are both lovers of magical tools like Edward-kun. looks like we’ll get along well.

I took the three of them to the salon and introduced my sister Rosalia.

I was soon informed that Giles and Christopher had arrived, so I asked them to escort me to the salon. They soon arrived and I introduced them to each other.

“I’ve heard from my father that Julius-sama is making magical tools, but I’ve never seen him actually working on them.”

“Oh, really?　It’s not like I’m keeping it a secret.”

Gile said this, perhaps because he is interested in magic tools, even if he doesn’t have one. Maybe I can show you how I make them sometime.　Ah, Christopher is looking at me with eyes that seem interested too. After all, I knew that gadgets like magical tools are very popular with boys.

Rosalia, who is happily listening to the Conversation about the development of magic tools, seems to be completely swamped into magical tools. A servant came to Rosalia. Apparently, Rosalia’s friend had arrived. I went with her to the front door to meet her.

“How do you do, I’m Melissa Blythe.”

“Nice to meet you. I am Julius, Rosalia’s brother. Welcome to our home.”

“Melissa is my best friend.”

Rosalia answered proudly. Melissa seemed happy too. I’m relieved to see that she had made a good friend.

While I was greeting her at the entrance, Miss Fabienne came in just in time.

“Welcome, Miss Fabienne.”

“Thank you for inviting me here today. This is my friend, Baroness Nathalie Caron.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Julius Heine.”

“Nathalie Caron. Nice to meet you today.”

“Please come, I hope you enjoy yourself too.”

I took the three of them to the salon, where we introduced ourselves to each other again. There were six men and four women. It was a bit unbalanced, but I didn’t mind.

At first, we talked about nothing out of the ordinary, but soon we were talking about the summer vacation season.

“Then, Julius-sama, the rumor that the royal family was here was true.”

“Yes, it was, Edward-kun. It’s been a hard time.”

“I’m sorry to hear that …… and that’s why you couldn’t see me during the summer vacation season.”

Everyone seemed to have guessed what I was talking about, and their faces were austere. Oops, not a good idea to make it a dark tea party. After that, I asked around about how everyone had been spending their time.

As a result, it seemed that Gile and Christopher were the only ones who swam in the lake, and the others told me that, “Although they are children, it’s a bit too much for aristocrats to swim.” Too bad, because I would have loved to swim.
