At the morning dinner table, Eidolon sat across from Lorraine Hill, his feet swaying briskly under the high chair.
After resting and sleeping in her room for a few days, she was starving and wanted to eat something delicious early in the morning.
"Eugelia, let the kitchen make some more food." Looking at the Eidolon who was not yet full, Lorraine Hill asked the elf maid beside him to replenish the food.
"Okay, Miss, please wait a moment." Immediately, the maid in black and white uniform walked quickly downstairs.
"Sister Lorraine, are you going out today?" Ye Ling curiously looked at the luxurious and beautiful clothes on Lorraine Hill while waiting for a boring time.
The entire dress is made of white silk, with exquisite golden flower and leaf decorations on the edges. The collar has a V-shaped opening, revealing the snow-white serrated lining wrapped in gold leaf vines.
Next to the table is a bright yellow sunhat with a white background and a hint of gold, with a variety of flowers stacked on it, which is very delicate.
"Yes, I am going to Earl Howard's mansion today to attend a small party."
"It's a party, so I'd better not go. I thought Sister Luolan was going to take me out to play today while I was awake." Ye Ling pouted a little angrily.
"Okay, okay, there's no need to make such an expression. When I come back, I'll take you for a walk around Titania tomorrow." The girl skillfully comforted the little dragon girl.
"That's what was agreed." Finally, Eidolon added to prevent Lorraine Hill from going back on his word.
"Yes." The girl smiled and nodded, and then Yugolia also brought a plate of freshly baked bread and snacks.
"It's delicious, little Ye Ling~"

After leaving Earl Howard's mansion that day, the temporary chamber of commerce where Lorraine Hill was located received visits and inquiries from various parties.
Some people want to know more about Miss Lacey, while others are more curious about her origins and want to know about Miss Lacey's past.
Thinking that various flaws would inevitably arise if he stayed for a long time, Lorraine Hill also accelerated the pace of action.
Today she took the carriage to the Earl's Mansion again to attend a small gathering hosted by Earl Howard.
"Welcome Miss Lacey."
As soon as he stepped off the carriage, the butler who had been waiting for a long time came forward to welcome him, and then led Lorraine Hill towards the interior of the mansion.
Today was different from the previous day. It seemed very quiet. Only a few servants were seen along the way. Both sides of the road were also filled with neatly planted flowers and plants, which made people feel comfortable looking at the reeds.
"Please go this way."
After turning a few corners, the butler led Lorraine Hill to a pavilion in a garden, where several people had already arrived.
"Miss Lacey is here." Earl Howard stood up, greeted Lorraine Hill, and then introduced several other people in the pavilion.
"This is my daughter, Rosella." He held up a girl of about 18 years old. She had light blond hair, and her white dress was covered with a whole layer of lace, which looked weird.
"Hello~" Although she was a little reluctant, the earl's daughter still bowed to Lorraine Hill obediently.
"Hello, my name is Lacey." Lorraine Hill nodded.
"This is the third son of the Kahuaiya family, Luther." Earl Howard pointed to the young man on the other side, who was wearing a straight windbreaker and a long sword on his waist.
"Hello." He has black hair, but his appearance and eyes are still that of the Western Continent.
"Finally, it's my old friend's daughter, Fa Xin'er."
Lorraine Hill's eyes moved toward the noble girl in the back. She was wearing an exquisite black dress, a black headband and ribbon, black stockings, black waist-length hair, and black eyes. Only her skin and hands were exposed.
, is a delicate white color that attracts attention.
This aristocratic girl sat there, like black satin, quiet and mysterious. It wasn't until Earl Howard introduced her that she simply stood up and nodded.
"She comes from a branch of the Trey family and is very knowledgeable. She must be able to answer many of Miss Lacey's questions."
"Hello."
"Hello."
The two looked at each other and then saluted together.
"Haha, you guys talk first, I'll ask the maids to bring some fruit snacks. I won't disturb you after that."
Not long after he invited Lorraine Hill to take a seat, the earl declined and left, allowing the young people to get along freely.
"Phew, Uncle Howard finally left."
A slightly thin young man untied the tie around his neck, pulled it a few times to loosen it, and showed a relaxed look on his face.
Seeing this appearance, other people in the pavilion were not surprised. It seemed that they were already familiar with each other.
Apart from Lorraine Hill, there are only four other young men and women in the pavilion now.
"Are you a little unfamiliar with Lacey? Come and sit here first." The count's daughter, Rossela, stood up and led the girl to sit down. At this time, the white stone table in the pavilion was divided into five different directions by the five people.
Seeing that the girl was a little reserved, Rothela, as the host, took the initiative to take responsibility for the atmosphere of the event, and slowly Lorraine Hill became familiar with it.
After a round of introductions like this, Lorraine Hill also roughly wrote down the names of these people, the aristocratic girl Fa Xin'er with black hair and black eyes, the young Luther holding a saber, the lazy and casual young aristocrat Du Xiu, Howard's
The second daughter, Rosella.
"Has anything interesting happened in the Imperial Capital recently?" After introducing each other, Du Xiu took out a few water-soaked grapes from the plate and put them into his mouth to taste.
"Fun? I feel very little. After all, I am quite nervous now." Luther tapped the table unconsciously with his fingers.
"That's really boring. I finally came from the fiefdom, but I didn't expect to encounter a season like this." As he spoke, Du Xiu lay down on the stone table, seeming to regret it.
"How about we practice some more and I'll give you a hand." Luther casually said the bet, and then he and Du Xiu started competing with each other on the lawn outside the pavilion.
Now only Lorraine Hill, Faxin'er, and Rosella are left in the hall, and the room between the three of them is more relaxed.
"Hey, has Lacey been to the East?" After listening to the girl's introduction, the others began to talk about other things.
"Yes, I went there with my father when I was a child, and it left a deep impression on me."
"Then what does the East look like? Is it really as magical as the legend says?" Rothela asked curiously, while Fa Xin'er on the side remained quiet, only occasionally glancing at the girl's cheek.
"Dongfang, we have to talk about the Five Phoenixes in the past..." Lorraine Hill held the tea cup and slowly talked.
After a while, the two people competing outside the pavilion came back and joined the audience, listening longingly to the magical world described by the girl.
"In other words, on the east road, there are many magical little worlds that are different from the real world?" Rothela was very envious.
"It would be great if I could go there and take a look around." She seemed to sigh, but she had no chance to go to this distant country.
"It turns out that the Eastern system is like this, scientific examination selection, officials of the four seasons..." Fa Xin'er unconsciously turned the hair in her hand, thoughtfully.
"Although I know a lot about the East, I am still relatively unfamiliar with some situations in the empire. After all, I have never been exposed to such a high level in the past." Lorraine Hill changed his voice, and then discussed with a few people the current embarrassing situation of the empire.
.
"In my opinion, His Highness Edlen should inherit the throne and carry out drastic reforms."
After Duxiu and Luther had a small trial, they were a little exhausted and then expressed their opinions.
"I don't think so. If His Highness Edlen jumps out to grab that position, it will only further reduce the majesty of the royal family and even collapse."
