The maids in Randel's townhouse have been walking around the eggshell the past few weeks. The mood was so bad that no one dared to utter a single word without permission. Ever since the tea party that was presented outside as a success, but in fact failed miserably, the relationship between the master of the house and his sister became fragile.
Blaine has allocated a huge amount of money to the event, but the result wasn't satisfactory. Not only Charissa couldn't extend their network, but she also lost some connections, because not everyone attended as promised.
The tea parties were mostly for females, but the occasional unexpected visit from male nobles would only increase the reputation of the host. It was the courtesy of the suitors to stop by briefly and bring some gifts with them. However, even little duke Felix Idir ignored Charissa's event, but people spotted him near the venue of Sabrina Riverty's social gathering.
