56. Child Socialite (1)
[Episode 56] – Child Socialite (1)
The princess’s first social event was conducted under the direction of the ministers. Finance Minister Vincent prepared a modest tea party in the garden, and Foreign Ministers and Education Ministers carefully selected people and invited them.
In fact, it was as if the first social circle that could fail even if it tried was prepared. With the tea party being held in person and the theme being decided by this side, wouldn’t the tea party already be a success?
“First of all, they are carefully selected by me and the Minister of Education. At the same time as parents with children of the same age as the princess, we selected people who were not politically related to the royal family or who would not be harmed.”
I checked the list of people handed over by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. There weren’t many people on the list, probably because they weren’t politically connected with the royal family, and because of the challenges of being a parent with children the princess’s age.
The aristocracy is also mixed up. From barons to counts. The list even included businessmen with children from other countries. Was it that difficult?
“You worked hard. It must have been harder than I thought to find children who fit the conditions.”
“I guess so. Most of them were selected for the first socialites. On top of that, there are many conditions… If you want to meet the conditions, they won’t keep pets again.”
I wondered if the selection was too excessive, but I didn’t want the princess to be ignored by other children like in a game. I handed the list back to the Foreign Minister and sighed lightly.
“By the way, do you know when the puppy the Minister of Education said to send will come?”
“Why do you ask me that… You know very well that I have a crush on those humans and those animals. Well… That person must be prepared in his own way.”
What kind of preparation do you need so much to borrow a puppy? As I looked at it with a frown, as if it was difficult to understand, the foreign minister shook his head and replied that he did not know.
Come to think of it, it happened a few days ago when I went to meet the queen mother. In the midst of drinking with each other in the night breeze, there was a story that the Minister of Education would lend a ‘pet’ to the princess.
The queen mother at that time… To be honest, she had a surprised expression. ‘Is this crazy?’
‘Yes, you will do well.’
‘hehehe.’
With the last word
, The queen mother stopped talking about ‘pets’. At that time, she was just happy that the queen believed in me even if she didn’t say anything anymore…
The point at which the child socialite is less than a month away. For some reason, she began to worry about the ‘pet’ she had never seen before. Should I get another puppy now? I wanted to, but…
‘So, are you someone who sits in the position of minister for no reason? He must be a person with common sense. Aren’t you the Minister of Education who can’t even do without common sense?’
I skipped over it while thinking
.
She’s never been so good that she’s gone overboard, but never…

On the day of the “Tea Party” Held for Titania’s children’s society.
Titania, who was dressing up for the tea party, pouted her lips. She said she was preparing for the social scene, and she was tired of being around her for the past few months, and Titania’s face was grumpy.
“I didn’t see the puppy after all…”
She believed her mother’s words about bringing the puppy and waited, but she had never seen the puppy’s face before. After all, the theme song of the tea party is ‘She’s her animal’…
Titania was at a loss as to how to introduce the puppy she was seeing for the first time today. All the animals brought by the other children must have been together for a long time, but he is the first puppy he has ever met.
Looking at Titania’s pouting appearance, Ainsel asked Titania how about taking a walk in her garden since there was still time before the tea party.
-The weather is nice and Vivian looks busy, so how about taking a short walk? Because there is still time. Also, it’s close to the garden and the gate, so you might be able to meet the puppy soon.
“…Yes. I will.”
Jumping off her chair, Titania started walking toward her garden with her galloping stride. She looked around and saw the maids busy preparing the tea party, the gardeners tending the garden, everyone busy.
As she walked around the garden, wondering what to do, Titania caught sight of a little girl squatting beside a babbling stream in the corner of her garden.
Her golden hair, which seemed to have been woven from melted gold, and her bright red eyes, which made her look similar to herself. She even looks a little younger than herself.
Titania couldn’t take her eyes off the girl for a moment. First of all, the subtle feeling that is felt due to her wide power and almost no one her own age, and the second …
“…What are you doing?”
It was the fault of the little turtle in the girl’s hand. As if she was trying to get the turtle to swim, the action of the girl playing by the stream made Titania blankly watch her.
I didn’t see any adults around, and I thought it was strange to see a girl playing by the river alone in the middle of the castle. Where the hell did you come from?
There was silence for a while, and the girl hesitated at Titania’s question before answering in a very small voice. Really, her voice so small that only Titania could hear it.
“The weather is nice… the turtle… I want to swim…”
“…Swimming?”
Titania glanced at the small fish tank next to the girl. The small fish tank must have been the turtle’s home, but the fish tank was empty and did not contain water properly.
Only then did Titania, realizing that this child was one of her young ladies invited to the tea party, smiled and approached her little girl.
“What a cute turtle. Is it okay if I look around for a while?”
The girl, who was looking at the turtle playing by the stream and Titania who came next to her, smiled awkwardly and showed the turtle in her hand to Titania.
Unlike other tortoises that Titania often sees by the stream, her shell is pointed and her mouth is sharp.
Her nails were sharp, and the thorns on her long tail were far from cute. It was smaller than the palm of my hand and looked like a turtle baby, but…
Titania asked the girl, tilting her head at the appearance of her turtle, which she had never seen before.
“It looks a bit scary… What is the name of this turtle?”
“Poogiyo.”
“No, what is the species name?”
“Aha, it’s a wolf turtle. It’s because his tail is as long as a wolf’s or because he’s ferocious like a wolf’s… I heard about it last month when I received a present. Lol. “
Titania moved slightly away from the girl when she heard that the turtle was ferocious. Certainly, she was a tortoise that was as frightening as it was ferocious.
She said it was a place where she brought pets, so Titania, who knew that ordinary pets such as dogs and cats would come, found this situation slightly amusing.
Putting social circles aside, this might be a place where you can see animals you’ve never seen since birth- she said while observing the girl’s wolf turtle closely-
“Emily!”
From noble mtl dot com
“Oh, sister!”
A girl who heard her name being called put her turtle in her fish tank and started running towards the sound.
Where the girl ran, there stood a red girl with her cheeks puffed out with her hands on her waist. Then, she glared disapprovingly at the girl named Emily.
“I told you not to walk alone!”
“But…”
A girl with her fire inflated, her red hair, her red eyes. On top of that, a dress in which red is her base. She even had her shoes red. As Titania stared blankly at her, a red-colored girl jumped up to her and bowed her head.
“Sorry! Has my brother ever been rude or not? I’m just six years old and I’m the youngest… so I’m very free-spirited.”
“I am fine. I also saw a strange turtle. So, have you been invited to this tea party too?”
The red-colored girl nodded her head, then shook her head again as if she didn’t. She then introduced herself, putting Emily in front of her, who was absent-mindedly looking at her fish tank beside her.
“I was invited to the tea party… But my sister, Emily, made a fuss about coming along… And asked me to stay with the mothers as a request… Oh, my name is Caroline Sergio.”
Mothers?
Titania tilted her head, wondering if she had heard her wrong, but she missed the timing to ask her again about it. Titania, who couldn’t help but smile, greeted her by elegantly raising the hem of her dress.
“I am Titania Snow White. Thank you for coming to this tea party. Sergio.”
Caroline’s eyes widened when she realized that the person in front of her was the princess of this country. As Emily and her head bowed again, she was confused and confused, and Titania let out a small sigh.
“Shall we go back to the tea party? It’s time to start soon, and I’m sure the others have arrived.”
“Yes! Shall we go now, Emily?”
At Caroline’s question, Emily smiled brightly. When I went with her sister, she smiled as if she liked anywhere, and the corners of her mouth also twitched.
‘My younger brother…’
Titania, who was looking at her, was overcome by some kind of envy of her. Such loneliness and envy that she wished she had her sister or her sister….
Titania, who had another bad thought in her sudden thought, shook her head and shook her bad thought away. When she arrived at the tea party with Caroline and Emily, she saw her mother talking to another woman.
Could it be because she felt lonely right away? Sensing a cold wind blowing in her chest, Titania brushed her chest involuntarily. The moment she calmed down her emotions and tried to quietly approach her mother-
“Mom!!”
Emily jumped at the woman next to her mother with her mother’s cry. She made a puzzled expression as she looked at Emily, who, like Emily, had beautiful blonde hair like melted gold and a blue wall, hugging her legs tightly.
“Emily…Don’t embarrass her sister…”
“I didn’t bother you!”
The woman who looked embarrassed at Emily’s smiling face eventually smiled as if she had lost and held Emily in her arms. Then, Caroline sighed as if she couldn’t help it and approached them.
The three of them were a family to the point where anyone could feel that they were a family. As Titania stared blankly at him, Vivian approached her Titania and introduced them.
“Titania, this is a businesswoman from a foreign country attending this tea party. They say they develop or sell things that children use.”
After bowing her head at Vivien’s introduction, the woman knelt down on one knee and met Titania’s gaze, and she smiled brightly. Normally, businessmen who visit the royal castle are all old raccoons, so Titania couldn’t help but be surprised.
“My name is Elise Sergio.”
Emily cradled in Elise’s arms smiled at her bash. She then stroked the hair of Caroline, who was standing next to her, as she continued talking.
“Originally, ‘Catherine Sergio’, the mother of ‘Caroline Sergio’, was supposed to come, but due to unavoidable circumstances, I, her family, came instead.”
“Please take good care of me. Mrs. Sergio.”
When Titania nods gracefully, Elysee accepts the greeting with a big smile. Then, while rubbing Emily’s cheeks in her arms, she continued her introduction to Emily.
“And this is… my daughter, ‘Emily’. Because my daughter is the youngest, she likes her older sisters so much… She doesn’t want to be separated from her.”
“I’m fine. Please take care of me, Emily.”
