“It’s a beautiful day…”

“Are you going on a blind date?”

When Orion asked, Arena Legato burst out laughing, and Sophia Glastona-Voltio pouted her cheeks.

It has been a month and a half since Sofia married Randall and became Duchess of Voltio.

Meanwhile, her husband, Randall, continues to live at the castle.

The garden of the Duke of Voltio’s mansion, not far from the castle, was completely dressed for autumn, and the leaves of the maple tree near the arbor where Sophia and her family were sitting were beautifully colored and waved down whenever the wind blew.

Sophia, with a tea set spread out on the quad, is practising for a “tea party.”

Aristocratic ladies love tea parties.
When she lived in the castle, she was unrelated because she lived quietly and cautiously, but it’s now an unavoidable event because she became Randall’s wife.

Sophia, who was not allowed to be educated as a princess, consulted with Johannes, the butler, to see if this was a good idea.

Randall is fond of saying, “Don’t disgrace the Duke of Voltio’s family” and she had no idea how much of a cold shoulder she would receive if she did something wrong at the tea party to which they had been invited.

Besides, if Sophia could play the perfect duchess at the tea party, Randall would probably think a little more highly of her.

(The aim is to become a loving couple!)

The road is long and hard, but that is Sophia’s goal.

Sophia must become a loving couple with Randall by the end of the next two years and avoid the doomed end.

Sophia has memories of her previous life.

In her previous life, Sophia lived in a different world and died in a road accident along with Orion who was with her.

She was reincarnated in this world, but to her surprise, this was the world of “Glastona’s Snow,” an Otome’s game that Sophia loved in her previous life.

And worst of all, Sophia is the villainess in “Glastona’s Snow”.
In her act to trap the heroine, her half-sister Keira Glastona of the same age, she suffers from condemnation and complete ruin late in the game.

Sophia wanted to avoid that ruined end at all costs.

The game begins two years from now, when Sofia and Keira are 18 years old.
Sophia is in the middle of trying to avoid the doomed end by becoming a loving couple with Randall Voltio, one of the capture targets of the game.

However, as expected, as one of the main leads, Randall has a hard time opening his heart to Sophia.
Far from opening, she complained to her father, the King, and managed to get married, but he never returned to his residence.

This is a terrible situation.

If they continued to live apart until two years later, they would never get closer, and she would be doomed.

So Sophia decided to get a ladies’ education, hoping that Randall will see her in a new light.

Fortunately, the servants of the duke’s household are very fond of Sophia.

If she said she wanted to be a respectable noblewoman for Randall, they would wet their handkerchiefs and say, “Wonderful, madam!” and become cooperative.

Sophia consulted with Johannes, the butler, and decided to make it a priority to practice dances and tea parties now that the social season is in full swing, and thus she is practicing tea parties with Orion, her best friend from her previous life and Sophia’s current bodyguard, and Arena, another reincarnated person, whom she has not known in her previous life.

(… I don’t know about tea parties)

Arena should be exaggeratedly impressed with the ladies’ bragging stories and rumors, but what’s the fun in doing that?

“In the case of Sophia, it’s unlikely that you’ll be invited by maidens, so it’s better to learn how to treat older married ladies.”

As Arena said, many of the noble ladies who are close in age to Sofia are Keira’s cronies.Therefore, they have always had a bad impression of Sophia, and it was unlikely that they would willingly invite Sophia to a tea party.

“For the time being, my day has been going well, don’t ruin it.
I’m not the aunt in charge of matchmaking.”

As Orion repeated the story, Sophia was miffed and chewed on a cookie.

“What should I say then?

“Just say, It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?”

“Yeah.
And if it’s a tea party in the garden, it’s a nice garden.
If it’s a salon, it’s a very elegant and relaxing salon.”

“Don’t forget to praise the tea and sweets served.”

“Complimenting dresses and accessories will put them in a good mood.”

I see, should I just line up all the crap?

“Hey, what’s fun about tea parties?”

Sophia asked, feeling that the tea party was just an exhausting gathering, to which Arena replied with a cool face.

“You’ll get used to it, and one day you’ll be able to laugh at the ignorance and the thick make-up.”

Unlike Arena, Sophia thought that day would never come.
