CHAPTER 8
"Happy birthday, my daughter..."
 "Happy birthday, Lady Eustacio!"
 All the guests simultaneously congratulated Viviana. With a face full of smiles and looking at her warmly, Viviana replied with a graceful smile.
 The right hand that was being held by the father, was immediately released. Marquess Eustacio didn't even look back after throwing his hand at Viviana. Go meet the guests.
 Viviana even saw her father wiping the palm of the left hand that had been holding it with a handkerchief. As if it had touched dust or dirt.
 A bitter smile with an aching heart. However, Viviana was used to it all.
 Stand facing forward. The raised gaze looked at the guests who were looking at him very intently.
 Inhale deeply and exhale slowly. Viviana grumbled to herself for having to keep smiling at everyone. His face felt stiff from too many forced smiles instead of his will.
 ~~~
 "Dive, Lady Eustacio."
 A Lady in a blue lace dress approached him. Viviana smiled, bowed respectfully while raising her dress skirt as well.
 "I wish you a happy birthday, Lady Eustacio. I am the daughter of the Baron Efran family, Rissa Efran. Nice to meet you, Lady Eustacio."
 Such a warm greeting, how could Viviana ignore it, "Nice to meet you too, Lady Efran."
 "This is the first time I saw a Lady. Lady is so beautiful that I want to know the secret of your beauty," continued Lady Efran.
 "Haha... There's no secret. Just enough sleep and lots of nutritious food," Viviana said, laughing awkwardly.
 "Really? Then, would you like to share your feelings with me? The Lady and I are not much different in age. We could become close friends."
 'I should be able to befriend Lady Eustacio. Then my degree which is only the son of a Baron can level up.'
 "Lady Efran, I am not very social. Please understand," said Viviana.
 "Haha...Is that so?" Lady Efran's awkward laugh. The fan in his open hand covered his mouth all the way to his chin.
 Adab speaks politely which has become a habit of royal descent.
 "Then I will be happy if the Lady can invite me to your Tea Time. I will always take the time to come to accept your invitation," said Lady Efran again.
 'If I can take part in Lady Eustacio's newly debuted Tea Time among the upper classes, it would be good for me to introduce myself to the other nobles as well. What's more if I get to know Lady Eustacio, it's great to slap all the other Lady's faces who always insult me because I'm an ordinary Baron's daughter.'
 Intentions that have been read clearly. Viviana could only agree, "Okay. I will definitely invite Lady Efran when I have Tea Time later."
 "Haha ... Nice to meet you, Lady Eustacio."
 We just talked a little but already consider friends. Viviana, who couldn't stand it anymore, resigned and excused herself to welcome the other guests as well.
 "Ha..."
 The woman sighed. When she opened her eyes and looked around her, Viviana really felt disgusted. It's as if his head wants to explode because he hears too many compliments from his mouth but insults from them in his heart.
 Everyone is two-faced. No one really showed sincerity to him.
 The fatigue that comes isn't because of doing a lot of things in today's Debutante event but because there are too many things weighing on his mind.
 Viviana resigned herself to everything. Go out of the party hall to freshen up.
 ~~~
 The scorching heat of the sun. Coincidentally the month of his birth coincided with spring. The weather just got warmer to get out of the room or house.
 The flowers in the garden are blooming beautifully. It emits a fragrant aroma that invites tempted bees.
 The sunlight that warms the body makes the atmosphere outside better than the warmth of the party hall.
 Built footpath. Straight around the beautiful garden of the Eustacio Family Mansion. The small gate that was built makes a two meter high arch, white in color which is already surrounded by vines.
 Here are the most relaxing places in the Mansion apart from the rooms. Every time she visited this park, Viviana felt better. Viviana always came to this park when she was in a bad mood.
 The feet that subconsciously kept walking finally reached the end of the garden. Remaining green grass on the ground that goes straight to the front yard of the Mansion.
 This garden is indeed located beside the banquet banquet hall. So it made it easier for Viviana to return to the hall in no time.
Knock!
 Suddenly she felt something under her high heels. Sounds loud when it hits the flat toe of the shoe.
 Looking down, Viviana who took a step back saw a gold brooch. The closer he looked, the brooch gleamed in the sunlight.
 Viviana picked it up. And that's when he heard someone's voice.
 "Where did I drop it, eh? How could I lose that Royal Family Crest Brooch."
 He glanced at the front there was a figure of a man in a red formal shirt and white trousers. There are several rank insignia pinned to the chest and shoulders.
 Accessories such as sable fur on the left shoulder add to the man's special impression.
 The man was looking around and kept looking down. The black shoes he was wearing were instead used to kick the thin grass of the ground.
 Viviana looked back at the gold brooch in her hand. There is a golden dragon crest that has wings. It was the Scaden empire's royal family crest.
 "Sir, are you looking for this?"
 The man turned back. His eyes immediately fell on the item proffered by the woman who had just called out to him.
 "Ah! Right, right! It's mine!"
 The man with the blonde hair took it immediately. Close your eyes in gratitude.
 "Thanks for finding this Brooch, Miss..."
 When he raised his eyes to see who managed to find his belongings, the man was stunned and immediately became speechless.
 A woman with a beautiful face like a Goddess. Silver hair with golden pupils. A light pink dress that doesn't stand out too much. Not to mention the faint smile on her lips that was the most seductive.
 Suddenly this heartbeat can't be controlled. I want to stop breathing because I have found the true natural beauty of a woman.
 'How beautiful...'
 Viviana blushed at the compliment from within the man's heart. The woman cleared her throat and turned her head away while taking a step back to keep her distance.
 “Aaa… I'm sorry.” Only then did the man realize. He scratched the back of his head while laughing awkwardly.
 Blonde hair that was as dazzling as the sun. The pupils were bright blue like pure jade. A Mana Aura that was different from that of ordinary experts. It is none other than a descendant of the Royal family. If he could be at the Eustacio Mansion attending as a guest, then that man would be, the Young Grand Duke Kyle Lantchia.
