''Countess chanel.''
''My, it is a pleasure to see you here, baroness.''
''Viscountess Domaine, I did not think you would be here.''
''I absolutely cannot miss a great tea party, marchioness kingston.''
Many noblewomen, married and unmarried, in gorgeous and extravagant gowns, across the capital attended the tea party in the hayes duchy for different reasons. Some still hope to catch a glimpse of the duke and seduce him just like the mistress. If she could do it, then who says they can't?
Others came to build connections with the mistress. The future is still unpredictable. The mistress could be the only duchess in the hayes duchy one day. And the duchess could be a divorced duchess one day.
But their main reason for coming to the tea party is to see if truly the duchess and mistress are fighting as they imagined. For the mistress to hold a tea party, it meant the duke agreed. Surely, as a noble, the duchess would understand the true meaning behind his words and be miserable.
