    Today, for the first 29702e5205 time in a long 58c08b7c6c while, Lilliana accepted an c10b739071 invitation to a tea 7ffd8f1236 party.6b2441839c99d08f

    The reason she, who usually baa1963fd2 declined every invitation saying she 1c4673475b didn’t even have time to 223691083b spend with Vanessa, had decided 0af054cf46 to attend was just one aeeae592fa thing.39c1d9eaddd497d3

    It was because 447e7cf56d the host was 330662ac48 Seira.08100c6b4e40c1fd

    Since the victory banquet, 6358107b02 Seira had never acknowledged 2b0b1086ac her presence, but now, 4ff293b0ae for the first time, 4a107f3722 she had sent her 1f1cea3b65 an invitation—accompanied by a 0662884ca1 rather suggestive message.6bd46cacd92ad72b

    [I wanted to arrange a meeting to talk about perfumes. Lilliana, you’re interested too, right?]5100192e3edef95d

    There was much 6e8fe312a1 more written above 297bd9a917 and below, but a35c1c75dc Lilliana only skimmed d7936f077d through it. Since it was from Seira, c7188531dc she had no desire to cc5d78fd15 read it carefully.974e1fc95dc28a9b

    From the day she bed6745573 received the invitation, Lilliana 9f0bd92f64 agonized for several days.b639838ab95c61ff

    Ever since the e4e341c2be emergence of New 09e215e2ed Silhouette, perfumes had 34309f227e become practically essential 80c316781b among noble young 3c9dbb308b ladies her age. But Seira was the 174c90a0cb exception to that trend.d55bf159fb895d32

    She acted as though perfumes 24e0d42727 didn’t exist in the world.cca867f99ea3143c

    However, after the boutique Perfume 7589259195 Vintinary opened, she had changed b5fb2f0897 her attitude. As if advertising it, 24465f315b she began to promote fdc1af1a3c it everywhere.d5cf1715f37ca51d

    It was baffling why she’d 6621d7c005 go so far as to 1e03d098ae invite her just to promote 75ced3bd12 the place so passionately.ad12dcf48dba5f46

    ‘Could she have some kind of connection with them? Or is she just 2833b09f22 trying to keep me 388f6a253a in check?’7900bca8d78b8067

    Letting a shameless d4bdd6e028 copycat roam free 3a58987a46 wasn’t something Lilliana c4e917cf2d could stand. Lately, it had made 37100305d8 her feel constantly uneasy.72693e2eb7cb55e2

    If this had 95e22a5f64 been before, she 1ba6b5ac0d would have thought 9a7abf9b62 it best to acc9eea3a8 avoid Seira. But the current a50dec021f Lilliana had her 92110f4fe8 fighting spirit burning c013c7f612 at its peak.5369306e206d5897

    It all started the cfd5fadf77 day she raised her 3b5f904ffe voice at people for 3b778155e0 the first time while 197e26e4dd at the theater. That gave her 2ab557846f the confidence that 48c74d8b9d she could hold 9c0655dc2d her own.3cb68ce865c669b3

    So, Lilliana accepted Seira’s invitation—and 4803b7c926 that brought her to this 63b0fdcfb9 moment.888981ddb0adef62

    She thought most 9c003f336c would be Seira’s 00db24bc14 followers, but surprisingly, 29c2503176 the seats were f7fd423915 filled with a 88cbe6bf8e diverse crowd.d73c83c79e10b78a

    Like Evelyn from the Marquess b356dae0b7 of Lifton’s family, sitting across 9edc9bd502 from her. She wasn’t particularly close ab003c48d6 with Seira and was 80f445fccc famously timid, barely speaking. So meeting her in a e9fa38c0a1 place like this was unexpected.5a969efd88832800

    As Seira had a3ca44b495 indicated in her a9cb53577a invitation, the main b71eaa0bd5 topic of conversation 3fcf9a8f9b was Perfume Vintinary.5e2b4ef7dd18df14

    “The perfume I wore today, it smells nice, doesn’t it? I heard it’s the scent 35a0cb1ae1 of cactus flowers that only c53822fe31 bloom in the southern deserts f641b6a1da of the empire.”c6e2f5f3e8fcacf4

    Lily was the scent of 78304c369f her own perfume. Citrus was the 0a6b7ca8d9 most popular scent feb0c9008f in New Silhouette’s 3f4ff4ee86 line. It was clear Seira was 2fc06e783f subtly disparaging New Silhouette.cc2c575f2107e302

    Seira barely stopped herself from 9af9081793 grimacing but asked with a f6414ede78 gentle smile.dfb76737981885e9

    “Um… I heard Madame Winder gave a harsh critique of Perfume Vintinary. That’s why I 672f5a3c76 hadn’t bought anything 9be2740f4d from there until a3c0475851 now.”7c109b2d3f35cb42

    The mention of Vanessa Winder e9abb2fcd3 made her bristle with irritation. She was the reason things b182e8a65a had turned out like this.10df5c8380dd3675

    In truth, Perfume 874f0430d8 Vintinary was a 3b2b3ccc5b secret business venture e7a28d6542 of the crown cc5a79abda prince. And Seira had f36119d846 been asked by 9967eebced him to help 5791c0504d increase the brand’s 3425f7770d recognition among the f2134d67af public.5bf260571b54b7de
