    Today, for the 050c190e89 first time in ca3d5e418f a long while, 700dafdff6 Lilliana accepted an b384f398d2 invitation to a debd6a8072 tea party.19b1ded68571792e

    The reason she, who usually ac9fce1ef1 declined every invitation saying she 8e829fa03c didn’t even have time to 4a77cfdbb7 spend with Vanessa, had decided 3d7fda9fa0 to attend was just one 454a6e701f thing.0aa0707a245584ae

    It was because the host 9d4e8bf8b1 was Seira.6abe639233330648

    Since the victory ca3758bec7 banquet, Seira had a66240d38c never acknowledged her 8df421fcac presence, but now, 13846e33a5 for the first 3f0eeeaabc time, she had 2c98f4ad63 sent her an 81215ba556 invitation—accompanied by a 7a770ffadd rather suggestive message.95a3e81c9f38f145

    There was much more fca14a644e written above and below, 01b30309e9 but Lilliana only skimmed 14d195a979 through it. Since it was from Seira, 25eec22540 she had no desire to b5cec4e4cd read it carefully.1ce59f1cbf975a2e

    From the day she received 830523d629 the invitation, Lilliana agonized for d7b9c538f6 several days.e50fec3da15c5dd0

    Ever since the 996075b8a0 emergence of New 2c7ac8ce54 Silhouette, perfumes had 58f83195ef become practically essential 3c8edd90ba among noble young 27a007cffb ladies her age. But Seira was 8086834936 the exception to 718b90ae0e that trend.734fb980d6776f88

    She acted as d2b8b905b8 though perfumes didn’t 1592eb5088 exist in the c614ea2ef3 world.6bcea0a3faf5fc52

    However, after the 17fb7e54d1 boutique Perfume Vintinary 22db0b8c0c opened, she had f90b8342bd changed her attitude. As if advertising it, 9892d88b2c she began to promote 7b05bf375b it everywhere.2d5a3208ff5ddaf2

    It was baffling da354e7541 why she’d go d04209c4c6 so far as 9a2c55d289 to invite her a8455252ad just to promote abaa39399d the place so 537cab34d7 passionately.6a894e4db4dbcbc8

    Letting a shameless copycat roam 7bc9776dac free wasn’t something Lilliana could b162fa8a03 stand. Lately, it had made her 5c7c6769cc feel constantly uneasy.ec03b1d0f84e81b3

    If this had 10694ebcdc been before, she 3198f3dfa4 would have thought 4cf6c39982 it best to 07009aeb9f avoid Seira. But the current d834c54368 Lilliana had her b8dcd80809 fighting spirit burning 15c55a57c4 at its peak.f877586851368c66

    It all started 313b6dd11c the day she 05de337d8b raised her voice 979a44fc05 at people for bb795f489b the first time 575f52637e while at the 0662b7bee2 theater. That gave her the 7ddceea884 confidence that she could c49a3381f1 hold her own.ea84e0721192da95

    So, Lilliana accepted 932f474ad0 Seira’s invitation—and that 5a88c7a73b brought her to 89f8e01b5c this moment.453ea54934f6a1a9

    She thought most would be 77d45dc002 Seira’s followers, but surprisingly, the 4089296a49 seats were filled with a 5770f51404 diverse crowd.5f94b8586541cd92

    Like Evelyn from the Marquess 060cf4e2bb of Lifton’s family, sitting across 50dadfaffe from her. She wasn’t particularly d80fde3c13 close with Seira 35c6605eaa and was famously 1fceb41915 timid, barely speaking. So meeting her 5a86fbb53a in a place 18806b3a5e like this was 6b26f662da unexpected.908406059ac91bfc

    As Seira had 10ba77f0bd indicated in her 26b167711a invitation, the main ef4b28040d topic of conversation 8900b149a3 was Perfume Vintinary.a6b7b68c04513dd9

    “The perfume I wore today, it smells nice, doesn’t it? I heard it’s the scent 07bced0c49 of cactus flowers that only 77aacf0568 bloom in the southern deserts 80b16a4b95 of the empire.”4f3ee55928032958

    Lily was the scent 51fbdfa535 of her own perfume. Citrus was the most popular de1c11a059 scent in New Silhouette’s line. It was clear Seira was a0af9b8b00 subtly disparaging New Silhouette.284a3aae2cbc218c
