Perhaps it's because a Demon Tower Master has 'changed allegiance,' but Li Aili has received a lot of invitations these past two days.
"Why haven't they been this friendly with me before?"
At the banquet table, Li Aili counted the visiting cards in her hand and complained to Joanna in silence.
"Because you took a Demon Tower Master as your disciple!" Joanna exclaimed excitedly.
"You don't know, now Anne Sherman is your... uh, fan? Is that right?"
Li Aili said with concern, "But such a large amount of social interaction will slow down my alchemy speed."
As Joanna combed her long blonde hair with a jeweled comb, she suggested, "How about we have a tea party?"
To capture them all at once?
This is a good idea.
"Alright! I'll leave it to you. As for how to arrange the tea party, go and discuss it with the housekeeper, Catherine."
Lady Catherine, the castle's housekeeper, was someone she didn't get along with at all in the original owner's memories.
After crossing over, Li Aili actively avoided her.
Any problems can be communicated with the kind and elegant butler, Conrad.
Even now, she doesn't particularly enjoy interacting with Mrs. Catherine.
But the other party's business skills are undeniably strong.
In the afternoon, Li Aili came out of the Alchemy House and was informed that the tea party was ready and the guests had arrived.
As the mistress of the castle, it was actually a matter of noble hospitality for Li Aili to arrive a little late.
But when she appeared before the knights' wives in an elegant olive green dress and with her long, shimmering golden hair flowing down her back…
[Oh my god!! I thought an elf had wandered into the castle!! Ahhh!]
The Duchess is so beautiful! When will I be able to become as beautiful as her?
[It was my fault before. How could I have believed such outrageous rumors? Such a wise and beautiful lady is worthy of our Duke!]
Li Aili: "..." No, no, no, you misunderstood. The original owner was indeed a perverted woman and a stalker.
She sat down with a complicated expression.
Then my attention was drawn to a deep red 'bubble'.
【Aaaaaah! Die!! You filthy bitch!】
Li Aili frowned slightly and looked at the person with the "bubble" on their head.
The woman with the slight smile had an average appearance, but her style of dress seemed somewhat familiar to Li Aili.
Upon noticing Li Aili's gaze, the knight's wife immediately looked at Li Aili with sparkling eyes and an expression of adoration.
The blood-red bubble above her head transformed into: 【What are you looking at, you bitch?!】
Li Aili calmly withdrew her gaze. "Good afternoon, everyone."
Everyone chattered and exchanged polite greetings, and after several rounds of tiring social niceties, someone finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"Madam, could you tell us about alchemy? What kind of magical magic is it?"
"Silly Cindy! It's not magic, it's alchemy! Joanna told us about it!"
Li Aili recalled her professional reputation that day.
He then immediately began to talk with great enthusiasm about the foundation of alchemy—herbalism.
When she finished telling the story of "Fire Bell" with great enthusiasm, 50% of the ladies began to nod in agreement.
That's exactly like you when you've stayed up all night in college and are giving a public lecture the next morning.
Li Aili remained silent.
Li Aili began to reflect, realizing that her approach must have been wrong.
So she began to enthusiastically describe fascinating and magical plants, such as the "screaming mushroom."
After the speech, 88% of the ladies fell asleep.
The way they slept looked just like Sleeping Beauty from a fairy tale.
So much so that Li Aili had to put down her teacup and make some noise to 'politely' wake them up.
Then, one by one, these ladies, like startled sparrows, woke up and, after a brief moment of confusion, someone took the lead in clapping, and then thunderous applause filled the room.
Li Aili: "..."
The remaining ladies, who were barely awake, were speechless.
That's really awkward.
In short, after telling the story of the two magical plants, and gaining nothing but a bunch of sleeping ladies, Li Aili gave up on the challenge.
Since that's the case, why doesn't she talk about something that everyone is interested in, such as—
"By the way, the knights have gone to war, what are your usual recreational activities?"
Everyone perked up at the mention of this.
One by one, they spoke enthusiastically.
"I love going to the opera at the theater in the city center!"
"Ahhh! I know! I know! That new actor is so handsome!"
"I absolutely love his portrayal of the prince! Ahhh! If Lance could be this romantic to me, I'd die happy!"
"Eh? Is Knight Lance also... you know, also so 'knightly'?"
Li Aili, who was listening to the gossip with great interest, was taken aback. "What do you mean by 'so chivalrous'?"
Goodness, 'knight' isn't just a job title, is it also an adjective?
The ladies exchanged glances and asked gossipily, "Hey, doesn't the Duke have a 'knightly' side in private?"
Li Aili thought about Arthur Cold Jade.
The man's handsome face flashed by, making her ears slightly flush.
But soon, she shook her head, quickly banishing the man's image from her mind.
However, this led to a misunderstanding among the ladies.
"Ah, I knew it. A man like the Duke must be perfect..."
The lady was interrupted by the lady next to her halfway through her sentence.
