On the afternoon of the 8th, Valilla took a carriage to Queens for an invitation to the afternoon tea banquet.

Baron Becker was a rare enlightened man among the old-school aristocracy, and in keeping step with the Earl of Hall, he shifted his focus from land to new industries such as steel, coal, railroads, banking, and rubber early on, avoiding the negative effects of the repeal of the Corn Laws.

Murray was able to become Audrey's friend, and it was inseparable from the friendship between the two fathers.

Today, he held an afternoon tea banquet with the theme of opera appreciation, and invited the popular opera singer Sona of the Hilston Grand Theatre to perform at home.

Of course, because he still remembered to send invitations to Valeera, he didn't just invite Audrey's coterie to them.

Valilla had no idea what Murray was up to.

She only knew one thing -

When she arrives at Baron Becker's Palace, she will be able to meet Audrey Hall, the "brightest jewel of Bakeland", the super-rich woman and the "Justice" lady.

Valera was a little excited, but also a little regretful.

Excitedly, she was finally able to see with her own eyes how good-looking she was when she was able to compete with the middle-sequence witches;

It's a pity that Audrey has now become an "audience" and has learned to play, and she can't see her truest reaction.

……

Compared with the ball dinner, the afternoon tea banquet is less formal, and the corresponding etiquette is much less.

There were more than 10 guests who were invited.

Among them, in the original book, only two of Audrey's friends came, Viscount Gleilynt and Christine, as for Cons Lierson and Jane and other others, they did not come this time.

Soon after the party began, Valilla greeted everyone and made a good impression.

Especially the moment when she talked to Audrey, there was a magical scene like magic.

The other guests forgot to speak, forgot to move, and stared blankly at the two people, even the lady, who were not actually in the center of the living room.

At that moment, they were the absolute center of the feast.

Audrey wore an aqua blue court dress with ruffles on the cuffs, and the precious jewelry was only used as an embellishment, which set off her natural beauty with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Valera was slightly inferior to Audrey in several aspects, and finally summed up a more obvious gap.

Her dress design is a little worse, and her hairstyle and jewelry are even worse...... Of course, even so, her image still leaves the other ladies far behind.

Except for one.

The opera singer Suanna, who was invited to perform, is also outstanding in appearance and does not lose too much.

After chatting for a while, the strangeness subsided and the atmosphere gradually warmed up.

At this time, it was time for Sana to start performing.

With Murray taking the lead and everyone agreeing, Audrey agreed to perform her piano skills and accompany Sana.

This embarrassed Valeera.

She was asked to accompany the dance, and she was also asked to be the most popular "ancient elf dance" in the court at the moment.

It was hard for her.

You know, Valeera knows a total of two or three ballroom dances, which is really not on the stage.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, she had an idea and hit the students brought by Suona.

"Music, singing, and dancing are only perfect when they are accompanied by performances," Valera looked at Sona and asked with a smile, "Do you know how to dance as a student?" I followed her movements and performed. ”

Sana nodded, "Lydia is my maître dancer, no problem. ”

In fact, she originally planned to let Lydia dance with her, so as to help her increase some popularity, and Valeera's arrangement was exactly what she wanted.

I also know that no matter how good my dancing skills are, there will definitely be some mistakes in performing unfamiliar dances on the spot, and this comparison will not show Lydia's level better.

What's more, it was such a beautiful young lady who helped her tiptoe.

……

During the dance, Valeera used all her strength beyond her extraordinary ability to fully exert her control over her body before she completed the backup dance with the dancer Lydia.

The effect of the backup dance is very good.

Judging from the dance moves alone, there is no obvious difference between her and the dancer Lydia, which makes everyone overestimate Valeera's dancing skills.

Valera managed to hide her weakness in terms of artistic literacy.

After the performance, there was another period of small talk.

Valeera then had the strength to think about a question-

Audrey, who is already an "audience", why didn't she refuse this performance, and dragged herself down.

Shouldn't the "audience" try to be a spectator?

She thought about it for a while, but she didn't figure it out, so she gave up, and instead seized the time and found an opportunity to "register" with Audrey, letting her know that she was also a lover of occultism.

To be precise, Valilla wants to join Audrey's coteria.

This is not to get Audrey to recommend her to the "Tarot Club", but for Qili's ancestral home.

As Valilla expected, she wouldn't stay in Beckland for long, and when she left, she needed to trust the house to someone who was at ease.

So, who better fit than Audrey?

Apparently not.

Relying on the blessing of the "instigator", Valilla joined the conversation between Audrey and Viscount Grylint and others as carefully and naturally as possible, and found an opportunity to show her occult interests.

With common hobbies and topics, the conversation is naturally more lively, and the relationship is much closer.

In this process, Valeera did not dare to relax, for fear of being seen by Audrey, who was already an "audience".

At the same time, she is also secretly observing Audrey.

It's just that no matter how Valeera observes, she can't see the slightest flaw in Audrey.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she deserved to be the "Justice" lady who could be promoted to Sequence 3 all the way, and only a few days after becoming the "audience" of Sequence 9 was able to integrate and withdraw in the social process, and behaved without leaking.

It's really ...... That's amazing!

After the afternoon tea, Valera said goodbye to everyone and drove home.

She exceeded her expectations, not only getting acquainted with Audrey, but also getting to know Viscount Grelynt by the way.

Viscount Gleilint is a better tool than Murray!

Therefore, Valilla felt that this afternoon tea banquet was also full of harvest.

……

In the evening, Valeera took out a new notebook from the safe in her bedroom and began to copy it one last time, preparing for the performance in advance.

This notebook, which is only half copied, is actually almost the same as the one she gave to Sharon yesterday, and it is still a transcription of her "family heirloom notes".

If you have to say the difference, in addition to not finishing the copy, there is also Sharon's book, which is missing a page.

And the content of this page is the ticket carefully prepared by Valilla to participate in the "Tarot Club".

Tomorrow, hopefully Crane won't be too scared......

The corners of Valeera's mouth curled into a wicked smile.
