RETURN OF THE FEMALE KNIGHT

10. Teach Her a Lesson

Marissa greeted Lalisa as she approached.

"Welcome, young lady. For a while I was worried that you might be sick because I hadn't seen you in some time. I'm glad you were able to come today."

Lalisa felt a little guilty when she noticed Marissa's disappointment, and she gave a humble smile.

"I've always wanted to attend your parties, but as you know I spend so much time managing the household. I'm glad to see you again after all this time."

Marissa was well aware that Lalisa managed the Blaise household, but she didn't believe that Lalisa didn't have time to attend her gatherings. Marissa herself was also in charge of the estate of her late husband, but she wasn't so busy that she couldn't attend parties either. However, Marissa simply smiled and didn't say such details.

"By the way, who is this cute young lady? Is she your sister?"

"Yes she is, Madame."

Roseanne, who was listening to the two women's conversation, turned to greet Marissa.

"Hello, Madame. I'm Roseanne Blaise. I am here with my sister."

Although Roseanne was still young, she was sure to grow up beautifully. She may not have the same intense beauty as her sister, but her lively aura spoke of great promise in the future.

"Oh, all of the Blaise children are simply beautiful. It's a pleasure to meet you, young lady."

Somehow, Lalisa felt as if she herself had been praised. After they exchanged their greetings, a white-haired old man who appeared to be a butler approached Marissa and whispered politely in her ear.

"Pardon me, My Lady. All the guests have arrived and we are ready for the party. "

"Thank you, Jeffrey."

Marissa looked back at Lalisa and Roseanne in apology.

"This is a simple tea party, but I hope you enjoy yourselves. We're going to have a big ball next time, so please come and grace our seats. "

"Yes, Madame."

Marissa moved to the head of the table with a benevolent smile on her face. Lalisa didn't know if this was meant to be a small tea party for close friends to gather, but there were more than twenty noble ladies and young daughters. No matter how small the event may be, Marissa was a powerful member of the community, and the number of people attending would inevitably differ from the norm.

Marissa took the lead to greet everyone.

"Welcome, all. Firstly I'd like to thank everyone for accepting my invitation. I feel wonderful because the weather is sunny, too. So now let's sit down and enjoy all the delicious refreshments together."

Several ladies smiled at Marissa's introduction. To outsiders this may not be a big deal, but one of the most important details about these parties was placement. The closer to the host you were, the better the seats.

Lalisa took a table with Roseanne at the far end of the garden. It couldn't be helped. Chairs were prepared in accordance with the number of guests at each table, and Roseanne had suddenly been added when only one Blaise was expected to attend. To prevent this situation, the host had to be informed of the number of people before attending the party, but Lalisa had already responded too late.

Since Roseanne could not sit in someone else's seat, it was only natural that they sat down somewhere else. Since Lalisa didn't actively attend social gatherings anyway, and there was also the possibility of her not attending and taking the seat. If she were a powerful young woman she could easily request inner seats in this situation, but the position of House Blaise in high society was not a lofty one.
