chapter 11
11 – Socialite Debut (3)
Everyone reacted as expected.
“The Marquis of Justiha showed up with a partner at a banquet?”
“I thought I was dreaming.”
“That man is the owner of the mansion?”
With every step we took, we heard stories about us. It was only natural that the fog-like people who had only been rumored to show their reality.
Even after Duke Peita’s brief greeting, people observed us like animals inside a fence. But this is a place to socialize. There was no way there would always be such people.
I saw a young man approaching this way with great enthusiasm. He was a classy, booty-looking man wearing a pale green shirt with emerald cufflinks.
The man covered himself with a burdensome laugh.
“It’s been a while, Marquis Justiha. I’m Euro from the county of Vilone, do you remember me?”
“I have never come to a banquet except to escort my Emperor. Please understand.”
It was a euphemism for ‘excuse me but who are you?’ In response to Ir Elfi’s answer, Euro Billrone couldn’t keep the corners of his mouth balanced.
It must have taken a lot of courage to take the initiative to start the conversation, but it was a bit unfortunate.
“You’ve been upbeat. It seems like only yesterday that I’ve been teasing so many men since my debut concert ten years ago. I never thought that such a marquis… Would bring my companions to attend today!”
Euro looked at me. I smiled as naturally as I could and replied. It is because my image will soon become the reputation of IrLP. I don’t want to cause such a nuisance.
“Kuk.”
Despite my efforts, the Euros reacted in the opposite way to my wishes. She stares at me with a puzzled expression, whether she’s glaring at me or laughing at me. Maybe i made a mistake
I opened my mouth to make up.
“I’m Nephi Alteon, Illelpi’s personal doctor. Please take good care of me.”
I held out his hand for the euro. But my hand only held onto the empty space of the warm banquet hall, not human warmth.
“You’ve become a marquis this time? You’ve been given a mysterious mansion.”
Euro had his arms folded, pushing for infidelity.
“That’s it.”
Since the records and oral traditions of the nobility of the country have been lost, our mansions have remained as mysterious structures. It was in that context that Euro was mentioned as a mysterious mansion.
“However, I know that there is no real estate or decent property. Am I wrong?”
“Yeah, well… You’re right.”
In reality, all I was given was a title and a mansion. All of the servants belonged to the imperial family, and all of my pocket money was managed by the imperial family.
Although pocket money overflowing to me came in on a weekly basis, it was always too much and it was difficult. It’s because Ir Elfi and I are very stoic, and we had very little private time with each other.
I was by IrLP’s side as a surveillance target, and IrLP was always busy with work. From monitoring to escorting and paperwork, she was not enough even if a day was doubled.
“It’s a façade of honor.”
“I think it’s appropriate.”
My sincerity. If one day I was to part with Irelpi, then it was the beginning of a life with no obligations and only rights. I am always looking forward to that day.
I grabbed a random number and asked a question to divert my attention.
“By the way, where did you get those emerald cufflinks? They look pretty classy.”
“What, what? It has eyes to see. Kuhmm… To be corrected, these are communication stones, not cufflinks! The world is dark…”
“Whoa.”
I showed interest with my eyes shining. To be honest, I wasn’t interested in cufflinks, but I asked out of courtesy.
However, it is a different story when it comes to communications stones. Isn’t it like a smart watch in this world? I thought I should buy one of these.
“There is no disrespect to Marquis Justiha for being ignorant of worldly affairs…”
“hahahaha. Wouldn’t it be something we should get to know from now on? That’s why places like this come out.”
IrLP looked at me with a slightly puzzled look as I calmly responded. I shrugged her shoulders and her cherry lips moved gently toward her ear.
“Doesn’t your blood make you feel bad? She used to be the second-in-command of the Empire until 400 years ago.”
“Suck.”
I let out an unsightly sound at the sudden whisper of the elf. It was the sensation of her sweet breath striking her brain. In particular, since the five senses of Netion Peace are outside the realm of humans, you can feel the exhilarating pleasure more than necessary.
‘Is this a secret story?’
Thinking of that, I also whispered in Ir Elfi’s ear.
“It’s all true, but what?”
“Hey!”
It was like a white snow rabbit flinching. It seemed that she wasn’t used to whispers either. Ir Elfi tugged at my ear with her impetuosity.
It was a passionate spirit.
“No matter how Neffi takes it, the intent is gossip.”
“Oops!”
“You can go a little tougher… Huh?”
I quickly got away from the breath of the IrLP to escape from the dominion of the sweet pleasure that hit the brain directly through my ear hole. Then he put it in her ear and recited it like a rapid-fire gun.
If anyone saw it, it looked like they were counterattacking.
“It’s stupid to react to something like this.”
“Hick?”
“A person who knows the real cool will lightly pass over his swear words…”
It was at the height of my whispers. Euro’s angry cry was heard.
“What are you two doing, manly!”
What was in Euro’s eyes was the obvious timing. I couldn’t understand at all what was the problem. Could it be that the whisper from Ir Elfi seemed to ignore Euro?
“Oh, that’s not on purpose…”
“I mean, I didn’t do it on purpose! Are you saying that it’s normal everyday? Ha, that’s not even funny. It’s okay, it’s okay!”
Euro muttered ‘Damn it…’ And left as if running away. I, as well as Ir Elfi, looked at the back of Euro in awe.
Then people started talking openly. It was about me and the Irlp. He spoke so openly that even I could hear him.
“My God, it must be a simple doctor-patient relationship!”
“To do such a thing in front of so many eyes…!”
“Keuugh, I envy that doctor.”
“Haa, I’m envious of Marquis Justiha. How does it feel to hear whispers from such a decadent gentleman?”
Those words were exchanged, but only then did IRLP and I realized the seriousness of the matter.
“How did this happen, Neffi? Why are you in love?”
“Because you didn’t know that…! No, I didn’t know that either, but it wasn’t my intention.”
“I didn’t think much of it until now, but I’m ashamed to hear it so openly.”
“… I agree.”
Memories of talking to a girl who became my childhood partner and being teased by her around me come back to life. Are socialites of that level of mental age…!
The nobility of the country was the second person to these people.
“Now that it’s like this, let’s talk to as many people as possible and explain it.”
“Your Majesty has already spread rumors about my injury and my doctor. What should I explain here?”
“What? If I hadn’t known, it would have been somehow!”
If it had been before rumors spread, you could evade the situation just now as an intimate conversation between the attending physician and the patient. However, after rumors spread, it would be like doing something like that despite being a doctor and a patient.
The meaning of the two situations was completely different.
“Aren’t you a socialite veteran? Do something…!”
“To be honest, since my debut concert, I’ve been only escorting His Majesty at banquets, so I’ve never opened my mouth. I’m not very all-round.”
“You’re so confident, but you’re the selective strongest!”
“What?”
While saying that, I looked back on the actions of Illelpi up until now. An awkward yet question-and-answer attitude, a taste for kid jokes, and a careless boss.
That’s all. Until recently, it is said that he did not open his mouth in the social world because of escort work. In addition, she suffers from a serious princess disease. According to my observations, I have no friends.
‘Isn’t this guy actually a huge communication impediment?’
It was an unexpected truth. Maybe she solved everything with the name, beauty, and power of Illelpi Yusti.
It was when I and Irelp were arguing. A savior ran towards us from afar. It was Charles Milotte with blonde green eyes and a red dress.
As always, Charles was imprisoned in the arms of LLP.
“LPGEE!”
“Char, Charles?!”
Illelpi was unusually surprised. As long as we were invited as guests to the banquet, Charles’ attendance was confirmed.
Even so, Ir Elfi was surprised because Charles didn’t know how to behave immaturely even in an empty seat.
This type of behavior is unacceptable to Ir Elfi, who stands by the emperor’s side in empty seats. Today was a special day, so Charles would have treated her as usual.
But in the current situation, it worked out rather well. As much as she hates me, she will firmly deny her relationship with her elf.
There was a time when I had that kind of hope.
“Hey Charles, I just met Ir Elfi…”
“Shut up, Marquis Alteon. I have eyes too. What is it, those friendly acts? I should have known from the time we lived together with Elfie and called each other by their first names!”
“Charles, Charles? No Miss Milotte?”
I could well guess that even when things went wrong, they were definitely going wrong. Charles’ mouth, once opened, showed no sign of being closed at all.
At this moment, the snout of disaster descended upon the banquet hall.
“Is it the affection born from caring for Elfie’s wounds? Or is it that smooth face? Is that what Elfie likes? I… I…! I believed in Elfi… But it is. Elfi. As long as you like it, I will bless you forever… hehehehe.”
At the end, it was Charles who gritted his teeth. I was dumbfounded and didn’t have an answer, so I opened my mouth wide and just looked at the current situation.
‘Neffi. What should we do now?’
Illelpy winked at me, and I replied with a wink.
‘hahahaha, I don’t know. Me too.’
An immature young lady pushes the great world into the gutter… Work is done by people, but success or failure depends on the sky, right?
I just looked up at the sky and lamented.
The disaster did not end there. To make matters worse, the players were now examining their instruments. Soon, the time to dance with Ir Elfi holding her hand is approaching.
Originally, there was no problem at all, but the timing was the timing. It was clear that the combination of me and Illelpy would put a wedge in the controversy that erupted.
While Charles held on to the Ir-LP and raised the controversy, I had a conversation with some people. I couldn’t remember anything about the conversation.
Then, at some point, the music started playing, and IrLP approached me with a tired expression. The expression devastated was so inappropriate.
“Irelp.”
“Yes…”
“I don’t know. Let’s go with the triple axel. I need to draw people’s attention to dance.”
“Yes…”
I didn’t even know what I was talking about. Ir Elfi didn’t even listen to what I was saying. It was the result of losing reason to each other.
Today was a night when the full moon lit up the residence of Duke Peita. At the same time, it was also a night when the history of the duo, the king of dancing in the social world, was rewritten.
Two marquis turned the stage upside down.
On that day, we became legends in the social world with the nickname black and white dance.
