Actually, I Was The Real One
Chapter 41

To be honest, he did not remember a single face.

The only thing he believed in was that he never intended to give a short answer. After all, he could not answer exactly when he did not know what they were talking about.

Capital trends, new artists in the spotlight, or the scandalous social scene – are all things Keira does not know.

He would happily reply if they asked a question about which blacksmith he would make a sword.

The girls, who had run out of stories to tell, even asked about the weather outside, while they were in the banquet hall where they could not see outside. The situation had already reached that point, so Keira's skill could not fix it.

They just thought it was 'unpleasant talking to her, ' as they left.

ask Lira curiously.

Lira: "But why are you worried about that?"

Keira: “You just told me. Others might be a little bit of a gossip.

Lira: “But that's when you left without a partner. Why don't you ask one of the knights?”

“…”

Lira probably thought that since Keira was the Knight Captain Parvis, she would have a close relationship with them.

Keyra could not answer.

In fact, he had just started to get close to the knights recently.

Keira immediately reflected on her desperate social skills.

'Sir Arthur and I have been to the casino together, so can't I ask him to be my partner?'

He hoped the two of them would get closer.

Tap tap.

He turned around when he heard a knock.

Joseph: “Nona, this is Joseph. May I have a minute? There's something I want to tell you."

Keyra: "Oh, come in."

Emily ran and opened the door.

For some reason, Joseph wore ordinary clothes. It was strange to see him dressed so casually, especially since he only saw him in the regiment.

Keyra: "What's up?"

Joseph: "Um, may I ask the waiter to go first ..."

He coughed, looking uncomfortable, and the waiter quickly left the room.

It might be serious if Joseph asked for a private meeting. There might be issues with the knights that need to be discussed in private.

He nervously looked at Joseph, but was shocked as he slowly started to blush.

'…What?'

He's never seen her look like that before.

Joseph: “This wednesday..”

Keyra: "Huh?"

Joseph: “So, this Wednesday..”.

There was no sign of him getting all his words out. Considering his usual way of speaking, it was simply impossible to do.

Joseph: “Will you join me at the Marchioness Francais party?”

......................

There are several reasons why Joseph made this offer seem to be sudden.

Reina: “I'll start the briefing. Attention, everyone!”

Reina, who had gathered her knights, threw a stack of papers on the table.

Reina: “This is a list of people who attended the Marchioness Francais.” party

Then someone foolishly asked a question.

"Who is that?"

Reina: “She's hosting a party that the woman attended. Didn't you hear it?”

“Ah, the. I think so."

It was shocking when they first heard that Keira had decided to actively participate in social activities. But now they know the reason.

The reason why he suddenly announced he wanted to go outside was because he was crazy!

Reina: “This is her snake name.”

"Will he be his partner?"

Reina: “After wondering, no, I guess not. Looks like he has another partner. ”

“Wah, bastard once..”

At this point, everyone could understand what Reina was trying to say.

"So, your plan is to get that woman to witness the snake with another woman?"

Reina: “It's not enough just to see them together. He could easily call the other woman a friend.”

He was unaware of the lies Aiden had told Keira, so he thought they needed clear evidence that could not be refuted for unclear reasons.

Reina: “Ya.”

That's a reasonable strategy.

Except for one crack.

"But isn't it less likely for the woman to meet him?"

Reina: "That's where we come in. Our job is to make it more likely."

"I got an invitation."

One of the knights said, taking out two envelopes from his pocket.

Reina: "Our operation will need three groups."

Group A will follow the snake, Group B will relay the information that Group A gets to Group C, and Group C will adjust the path of the woman.

It was a very simple plan.

Reina: "I'll be in Group A. I'm going to attend the dance so I'm going to need a partner ... Arthur, you have to do it."

Arthur: "Eh, why me?"

Reina: "You are the root cause of this disaster, so you must help."

When Arthur failed to refute, Reina continued again.

Reina: “Group B will also be a male-female couple. Raise your hand if you want to support. ”

Some knights raised their hands.

Reina: “After all it's not a difficult task, so let's just draw for Group B. The problem is Group C..”

Group C has the most difficult task as they have to manipulate Lady Keira to where they want to be.

If they made a mistake, the operation would be futile.

“It would be great if Group C took on the role of female partner because she could go with him.”.

"The problem is that the woman may already have a partner, so how else."

Arthur: "No, that's impossible."

Arthur interrupted. He looks very serious.

“How are you sure about that?”

Arthur: "Just trust me."

He remembered the picture of Lady Keira asking him how to get along with people a few days ago. With that social skill, or lack of it, it was impossible for him to have a male acquaintance who could stand as his partner.

“First of all, we need to ask if he has a partner.”

“He may be wondering why we ask that. What do we do?"

“Stupid if you ask him directly, stupid. You can say that you want to attend a dance together, then ask if she has time for it. ”

“Ah, you are right.”

Reina: “Who wants to apply?”

Yusuf: “I'll do it.”

Before anyone could raise a hand, Joseph volunteered.

Reina nodded and said.

Reina: "Then Vice Captain is in charge of the most important part."

...That's why he's standing here now.

Although he looked calm on the outside, Joseph was as nervous as when he first took the test.

The woman looked at him with wide eyes, and she did not reply. Joseph was desperate.

'I'm sure you think I'm presumptuous ...'

So far, Keira's partner has always been her father, the Grand Duke.

She knew this yet she still asked him to be her partner ...

Keira: "You mean, right?"

At that moment, Keira suddenly brightened up.

Then he took her hand.

Keira: "You're not going to take it back now, are you?"

Keira wanted to sing three cheers. He was worried that he would not find anyone to go to the dance with him, but then Joseph approached him first!

There was no one more suited to be his match than Vice Knight Captain Parvis himself.

She was glad she didn't have to go to the party alone.

His cheeks were beaming with joy.

Keira: “Mr Joseph, why didn't you answer? Don't tell me you're kidding?"

Joseph: “T-no! I just…"

Keyra: “Only?”

Joseph: “I was just surprised. I didn't know you'd be willing to let it go like this.”.
