"... Just cold flame heat the blended materials for two hours, like this—"
puff--!
On the operating table, a cloud of blue steam came out of a bottle.
"A bottle of sober potion and it's done!"
The professor of the Potions course showed the students the sobering potion he had just made. Through the transparent outer wall of the vessel, the blue transparent potion inside could be clearly seen.
The students were taking notes seriously.
"Okay, that's all for today's class. When you go back, you can try making it yourself. If someone can make it on the spot in the next class, I can award them a credit."
The professor's words made the students a little excited, but when they thought about their own level, they felt there was no hope.
After leaving the Potions classroom, Hulim planned to go to the dessert shop on campus to order a dessert to fill her stomach. These courses in the academy require a lot of brainpower, and there will be a magic circle class to attend in a while. Hulim doesn't want her brain to lack sugar.
However, before he had gone far, a group of girls came and blocked Hulim's way.
“… …”
Looking at the group of socialites in front of her, all dressed like noble ladies, Hulim didn't understand why they stopped her.
"The daughter of the Haieral family, right?"
Among the young ladies' group, a girl with curly blonde hair holding a small fan in her hand, who looked like the leader, spoke.
Although I don't know how the other party knew my name, since he came to me with accurate information, there is no need to deny it.
"Yes, what can I do for you?"
Huh~!
The leading young lady opened her folding fan, half covered her face and fanned herself gently.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Delgette Barolian, the daughter of the current Marquis of Barolian."
Barolian Marquis...
Hulim had indeed heard of this person. He seemed to be the most powerful noble in the empire and also the mother's family of the second imperial concubine.
In other words, the contemporary Marquis is the uncle of the third prince, who has considerable support. So the person in front of him is the third prince's cousin.
Royal relatives...
"I'm not looking for you for any other reason, I just want to invite you to join a tea party I'm setting up."
Delgette said so.
"Invite me? A tea party?"
"Yes, this is a tea party that currently only invites the nobles and ladies of the empire."
Eh, so that's it...
It's really unexpected. Why would a club like this, which sounds like a place only rich ladies can enter, invite a mere country noble?
Moreover, although they were only country nobles, they had heard about the disputes over the succession to the imperial throne within the empire. If I remember correctly, the Marquis of Balorian seemed to be at the center of the vortex of the dispute...
Is this tea party really just a simple tea party, especially since he is in the same class with the Ninth Princess...
"Although I thank you very much for your invitation, I'm sorry, Miss Delgette, but I don't have any intention of joining any group at the moment."
"What—, you actually refused?!"
Before Delgette could say anything, the socialites surrounding her started to accuse her first.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"Lady Delgette came to invite you personally. Do you know how great an honor this is?"
"Do you understand what you're doing?"
"Do you know what will happen if you offend us?"
Hulim was speechless. She really didn't know where these eleven or twelve year olds learned such sarcastic and mean words. Compared to them, the tsundere Fran was much cuter.
"...Excuse me, who are you?"
Hulim's calm attitude made the socialites even angrier, especially the tone of her questioning, as if they were minor characters.
"... What's your attitude, you bastard? Remember this: I'm the third daughter of Viscount Merk!"
"...I am the daughter of Count Vika!"
"...I am Viscount Ryan's..."
The socialites were very concerned about their identities. When the other party acted as if they didn't know them, they immediately introduced themselves in the strongest tone.
"...I see. I'll remember that."
Although the ladies looked excited, Hulim remained calm.
Compared to that...
From the beginning, there were no lower-class nobles in the introductions of these people. Almost all of them were middle- and upper-class nobles. It was obvious that this tea party for the daughters of the imperial nobility also had a "threshold". From this point of view, the motive for inviting herself was even more suspicious.
Hulim's attitude naturally made the socialites even angrier.
"... ...He's such a poor fellow, he doesn't even have this much tact—"
"Shut up! All of you!"
It seemed that they felt that it would be bad for the people around them to continue arguing like this. After all, there were already many people looking at them. If they continued, some rumors might spread tomorrow. Delchette stopped the young ladies from continuing.
"You are really losing your manners now!"
After being scolded, the socialites and young ladies dared not speak again.
Delgette put away her fan and glanced at Hulim.
