Chapter 210: Who’s Showing Off?

Some seeds of doubts were planted in the heart of these noble ladies and it was more than enough. Anyway, Marquess Brown couldn’t be the one to spread what she had heard from the Imperial Palace.

It would be better if there was someone else who stepped forward for this.

So Marquess Brown will just wait for that.

While Marquess Brown entertained the parents, their daughters gathered on the other side of the room. What the adults talked were usually a bit different from these noble ladies who were still younger.

Adela came to the group happily.

She was wearing the new dress that Crown Prince Award gave to her not long ago and this time, she planned to show it off. After all, no one else had the privilege to have their dress bought for them by Crown Prince Edward.

"Lady Adela," the girls greeted politely.

"Um..." Adela nodded and curtsied. However, she looked at their faces and couldn’t remember their names at all. In the years when she was in the academy, Adela rarely spent her time with her classmates.

The noble girls looked at Adela and sneered in their hearts.

They could see that Adela never took them seriously. She couldn’t even remember their names and always acted as if she was far above them.

Alright, her father’s status was indeed above them.

But for other things, Adela was far from comparable to them. This made these girls very annoyed when they saw Adela and too lazy to interact with her. No matter what year the students were, none of them were willing to get too close to Adela.

"Miss Adela is getting better at etiquette." One of the marquis daughter had a fan in front of her mouth as she looked at Adela up and down and then added, "But it seems to be severely lacking."

Adela’s smile that was on her mouth froze when she heard this. The matter of etiquette has always been her sore points. She could never understand why they have to follow so many etiquettes and so on.

It doesn’t look that good either.

Looking at this noble daughter, Adela still remembered the other party as they used to be in the same class. After Adela advanced one class to be with Crown Prince Edward, they rarely met.

But this girl was still remembered by Adela because the other party was the one with the highest score in that year.

"Lady Kana," Adela replied with a forced smile. "It has been a while."

"It has indeed been a while," Kana replied and chuckled. "I didn’t expect the famous Lady Adela would still remember my name."

The other noble girls were also looking at Adela faintly. They could guess that Adela should not remember their names.

While the lower ranked nobles would greet the higher nobility first, but the higher nobility would also respond by greeting their names. However, Adela didn’t greet them and simply nodded her head and showed some fancy etiquette, which made some people felt that she had no manner.

If not because of Adela’s status, it was estimated that these noble girls would not hold back in the slightest bit.

"Of course I remember you, Lady Kana." Adela shrugged.

Kana looked at Adela and then at the luxurious dress that Adela wore. From the first glance, it was clearly the expensive dress that not many people would be able to get even if they were to exhaust their financial power. Because some things didn’t really require financial power but also status.

As someone whose family was also of high status, Kana naturally understood this very well. She could guess at once that Adela’s dress was very good.

But...

"I thought that the White Family was in trouble. But it seems that you still know how to spend luxuriously," Kana said slowly.

The White Family is in trouble?

The other noble ladies glanced at Kana curiously. They knew that Kana’s father worked in the palace and might have heard something interesting. These noble ladies liked gossips the most as it was the best time for them to spend their time.

After all, not all noble ladies were like Duchess Isabella who had to manage many things and were usually quite idle.

"My family is not in trouble," Adela said coldly. "Please watch your words, Lady Kana."

At this moment, Adela was really angry.

Her family was doing well and when she returned, she felt that her mother was also doing quite well. There was no problem whatsoever, so how come the White Family was in trouble?

Moreover, Adela remembered that in the game, the White Family still thrived until the very end.

Even in the sequel, there was no mention about the White Family’s destruction.

Such a high ranked family like the White Family would definitely attract many people’s attention. Yet, there was no negative news whatsoever.

There were even some trades with the White Family in the sequel.

So it should be fine.

"Is that so?" Kana looked at Adele and chuckled. "Considering by how you’re still very leisurely and able to attend the party, it might be because you have no idea about the difficulties that your family faced, Lady Adela."

"I have said that my family had no problem..."

"Is it because you can still spend a lot of money and dress luxuriously..."

"This dress is given by His Highness." Adela raised her chest proudly and then said, "But it had nothing to do with the matter of my family."

"Is that so?" Kana sneered and quickly used the fan to cover up her mouth to prevent Adela from seeing it. She felt that this girl in front of her was really stupid and didn’t understand the seriousness of the matter at all.

But this was also good.

"It seemed that His Highness still dotes on you very much even though he was busy studying under Her Majesty."

"What did you say?" Adela was confused.

"As the future crown princess, how can you not be aware of the situation in the Yellow Kingdom?"
