However, due to the silence of the Duke's Palace over the years, the halo above the heads of the Brumaire Party is no longer as glorious as it was in the past. Seeing that there is no profit to be made, some of the nobles who have attached themselves to the Duke's Palace have changed their families and found other places early.
Vera's family is one of them.
Although they had memories of fighting side by side and were not among the first to leave, in order to avoid being attacked by some political opponents, they finally severed ties with the Wench family.
But Vera didn't seem to intend to completely obey the family's arrangements. She got closer to the Wenche family when she was still studying in the academy.
When she joined the city guard after graduation, she even volunteered to serve as a spy for the Wench family in exchange for another chance to be recommended a few years later.
Although he didn't know what her family thought, Duke Elliot accepted the deal.
Therefore, she has such an extremely complicated background.
"Due to the relationship between our parents and ancestors, there is affection between the two parties, but trust is not necessarily there." Chris said with a hint of sadness.
"No one can tell what will happen in the future. Now she will help us with some help...but my father will not tell her the really important secrets."
"Well, that's it."
However, just judging from Miss Vera's performance, her goodwill towards the Wench family is very obvious.
Could it be because she saw the aura of the protagonist in Chris, and when she saw the purple energy coming from the east, she bowed her head and worshiped her?
Even though he knew it was impossible, at that moment, he couldn't help but have such a joking thought flashing through his mind.
"No matter what, at least she can help now, isn't that enough?" Wayne comforted.
They even secretly do such private work as tracking you down. There is no credit but hard work.
"...That's right." Chris quickly put this matter behind her.
"By the way, Wayne, what did you do just now?!"
She finally realized what kind of issues she should be concerned about, and grabbed Wayne's collar.
"Don't pull, don't pull, my clothes are going to get wrinkled..."
He burst out of her clutches dumbfounded. "If someone saw us coming out from behind the bushes with our clothes rumpled, I don't know how they would arrange the two of us in private!"
After hearing what he said, the strength in Chris's hand suddenly weakened a lot.
"T-then tell me! What did you do just now?"
She didn't feel it at first, but now that she thought about it, she just felt that the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became.
With high expectations, she dressed up beautifully and waited for him to appear from the crowd, preparing a big surprise for herself. But... all the joy was in vain!
It's all his fault for not showing up!
Wayne immediately defended: "I was standing by the table waiting for you, and I took a glass of wine and was about to take a few sips. Who knew that a rash and strange man suddenly bumped into me and damaged my clothes? The front was completely wet and had a strong smell of alcohol. I had no choice but to temporarily find a place to change into a new set."
As if he was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, Wayne took a few steps forward and put himself under her nose so that she could smell it.
"If you don't believe me, check it to see if it smells like alcohol."
——Fortunately, I was smart and had the foresight to spill a few drinks on myself in the banquet hall.
At this moment, Wayne was very happy.
Chrissy wrinkled her nose.
"Hmph... In that case, I'll just believe that you'll be fine once and for all." She said.
"What do you mean by just believing it for once?" Wayne protested seriously, "Everything I said is the truth, and I'm not lying to you."
Listening to his dissatisfied grumbling, Chris couldn't help but smile.
"Wow, you're still smiling?!"
Her hidden expression was caught by Wayne.
This was unbearable. Wayne's aura suddenly increased a lot, and he insisted on dragging Chris to discuss right and wrong.
"Hey, hey, don't tug at me, do you hear me?" She slapped her.
——Even though his tone was very rude, he still had a smile on his face.
In an instant, the offensive and defensive trends were different.
Chrissy, who looked serious now, seemed to have completely lost her memory of the scene just now, and she didn't even remember that she was holding on to Wayne's clothes just now.
Good guy, your shamelessness is barely comparable to mine.
Seeing her proud look as if she had won a strategic victory, Wayne shook his head helplessly.
…
The two of them did not return to the banquet hall.
However, with the help of the housekeeper and maids who had sufficient experience in banquets, the ball was held very smoothly.
The night passed and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
Early the next morning, some small details that highlighted the "style" of the banquet were published in a special column of the Royal Capital Morning News.
"Shocking revelations!" ——Those little secrets that have to be told at the aristocratic ball! 》
Looking at this sensational title, Wayne's nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes.
Although when I wanted to focus on entertainment and gossip information, I had imagined that this scene would very likely occur. However, when this familiar title style appeared before his eyes again, Wayne still felt endless complaints about the title party.
I have to admit that having Chris, a time traveler, by my side really saves me a lot of energy. With just a little guidance from the side, Chris will excitedly put forward the suggestions she wants.
This is the adjustment of the development direction of "Wangdu Morning News".
If buyers only read the big title, they may think that there is some shocking truth inside.
However……
In fact, the text is very serious. It just introduces the details of banquet hall decoration and the novel party method of [Masquerade].
It is estimated that those who rushed to buy this cheap newspaper because of their great curiosity about the upper class will be disappointed.
Thinking about it this way, it's really a bit of pleasure to have succeeded in your evil intentions.
"huhuhu~"
She probably had the same mentality as him. On the seat next to her, Chris smiled like a villain.
"Chrissy - have you forgotten the rules of conduct a lady should have?!"
Although Chris could do everything in her power outside, the majestic Mrs. Ashwell would not always pamper her and immediately interrupted her daughter's increasingly wild goose calls.
Feeling the pressure from her mother, Chris covered her mouth in frustration.
Seeing this, Wayne pursed his lips and forced himself to cover it up by drinking soup.
Even though there will always be some unsatisfactory aspects in life, the good news is that it is still too late to do anything, and everything you want to do goes smoothly.
At the same time, the employees of their own newspaper finally began to get back on track.
