Actually, I Was The Real One
Chapter 44

Joseph: “Nona must be very tired. You haven't been to a party for a long time, so you may feel tired. I'll take you to the terrace.”

Keira: "Then I'll go."

"Have a good rest."

His initial goal of attending the banquet was not achieved, but at least he was freed from the awkward atmosphere. Still, he did not know if he should call it a good thing.

Joseph whispered to Keira.

Joseph: "Do you want to go outside?"

Keira: “No, I will sit there and satisfy my hunger.”

Emily and Lira said that they had to starve to fit the dress, so she followed them and skipped lunch.

Keira now regrets the decision. Her fatigue doubled as hunger was added on top of her uncomfortable clothes.

There was a simple snack on display some distance away from his seat. Joseph pointed there and said.

Joseph: “Then I will bring you something to eat. Please wait here for a moment, miss. ”

Keira: "Please bring me something simple."

Joseph: “Ya.”

Keira: “Haa..”

Body slackens. Keira leaned back in her chair and sighed.

"I want to talk to other people too."

At that moment, he heard some young women laughing. He looked around and saw people his age sitting around the table and chatting. They seem to enjoy themselves.

"Yes, just like that."

His gaze was naturally focused on them.

"Do you know what he said at the time?"

"What?"

“He told him that he did not need a son like him, and kicked him out while threatening him with a candlestick! How joyful!”

He didn't know what they were talking about, but it seemed like a lot of fun.

'I want to join you. I'd like to join you and play ... I came here because I want to have fun too ...'

But he knew that if he came in, he would only spoil the atmosphere.

Dealing with a noblewoman his age was twice as difficult as dealing with a noble.

This was because he did not know how to have a smooth conversation.

He envies them.

'If I had such a close friend ...'

He looked at them with envy and immediately realized his mistake. He remembered the waiter who rushed away in panic.

'If they see me staring, they might feel overwhelmed.'

They probably ran away like servants.

If he could not join in the conversation, he wanted to watch it from afar.

Finally, he turned his face away and looked at them from the corner of his eyes.

“That's how my father got the goddess's tears.”

“Wah, you are very lucky.”

"Really?"

“You should wear that necklace someday. I want to see it.”

The goddess's tears were one of a series of necklaces made by dwarf craftsmen.

thought Keira.

'One of those necklaces was in my family... The Imperial Family should be the only ones with better necklaces in this series...'

'Will I show you that, so can you let me join you, Miss?'

However, he could guess the outcome of the conversation even with his lack of social skills. The moment he said that, the atmosphere would get cold quickly, and they would probably think he was a strange person.

But that was before.

When one of the women turned around, she saw Keira staring at them.

The esteemed daughter of the Parvis family pays attention to her and her friends.

*clattering*

The woman dropped her fork on the table. His friends followed his gaze, wondering about his abnormal behavior.

"What's wrong, Miss Sasha?"

“You look like you just saw a ghost–Ah!”

“Ak!”

"Why? Who's that?"

Soon, they became as pale as Miss Sasha.

…no, wait, wait.

Keyra's disappointed. It was deja vu.

Before he could speak, they jumped from their seats. Their faces are still pale.

“M-sorry!”

“We do not know that Lady is resting here and we are disturbing you. Please rest comfortably.”

"W-we dare to chat without knowing you're here, aha."

Then they all ran away.

"Well…"

"You can talk more."

Keira extended a hand into the air towards the fleeing young girls.

But it is impossible to bring back those who have left.

She wants to cry.

Looking around, everyone chatted in groups, or ate a simple meal.

Lonesome. That's lonely.

'I came here because I want to have fun ...'

He felt like a student returning to a freshman welcoming party.

I want to go in and play, but I can't. That sad feeling.

'Where is my partner, leaving me alone?'

His disappointment turned to his partner who went out for food.

The waiter, putting drinks on the table, approached him and said.

“Marquis of Edinburgh is looking for you. That's left third, second floor balcony of the exit.”

Keira: "Grandfather?"

Only then did Keira remember that she had planned to meet her grandfather here.

'I have to tell Sir Joseph that I will be away for a while ...'

How far he went to get the food he had not returned.

Keira called a servant who was around to deliver a message to Sir Joseph.

Keira: "You're there."

"Yes, my lady."

Keira: “When a man with black hair returns, tell him to wait a while here. I have someone to meet for a while. ”

"Yes, my lady."

After he said that, he stood up with his glass.

...----------------...

The snake, who dared to seduce the woman, was teasing another woman, hugging her.

That's repulsive.

However, stronger evidence is needed to remove rose-colored glasses from the innocent woman's eyes.

Reina: "To bring a lover who is not a noble to the party, he is a man who does not care much about what people think."

Arthur: "Do you know him? Who's she?"

Reina: "The upper class prostitute who lives in the house of the snake."

Arthur: “Wow... I don't know if he lives the way he wants or he lives without thinking at all.”

Reina: "Say it's the last."

Then the two people who kissed lightly started to move elsewhere. They looked like they were going outside.

Reina: "I'll be back, so wait here."

Artha: “Oke.”

Reina stepped behind the two and moved.

It was disgusting to see the snake continue to kiss the woman's cheek or ear as they walked.

Shortly before disappearing outside, Reina communicates with Arthur with a hand gesture.

'Park, on the way, send to Group B.'

Arthur re-signed.

'understand.'

He immediately relayed Reina's message to group B, who was wandering around, and followed her out.

Group B also faithfully carries out its duties.

They told Joseph, who was carrying a plate of fruit, to take the woman to the garden.

Joseph: “OK. Keep me updated on the exact target location. ”

"Yes." Yeah."

But that's where the problem begins.

The person who was supposed to be where he left it to get the dishes had disappeared.

A servant approached Joseph, who was not satisfied.

“The woman here asked me to tell you that she has someone to meet for a while. Please wait here, he will be back soon.”

Joseph: “...Damn.”

They needed it to see it with their own eyes, so they had to manage the time well.

But he disappeared at the most important moment. That's very frustrating.

Joseph: "Did he say anything else?"

“He didn't do it.”

Joseph: "He didn't mention who he was going to meet?"

"He's not."

Joseph had no idea who the woman they should meet was.

Joseph: “I understand. You can go now.”

“Then, excuse me.”

Joseph looked around in a hurry.

He did not see a single hair of Keira in the waiting room.

"But you can't open the sitting-room doors one by one."

If he did, he would be a gossip for at least a year.

Joseph wandered around the place, his face disheveled.

Soon after, Group B came to him.
