Even though we were both dukesâ daughters, it didnât mean I was bright and sociable or equipped with the same ãgentle princessã vibe in the likes of Solana Brugmansisempai.

I had black hair and a mole under my eye. If anything, I had an appearance that was on the dark side.

In addition, Father and I were invited here as potential patrons of this theatre this time. For that reason, the theatreâs manager along with a popular actress came out to greet us.

We havenât decided to support them yet and neither me nor Father have given our family name. Only that we were ãsomeone related to the 5 duke familiesã, well itâs not a lie, we only offered our first names and social statuses.

In other words, Miria didnât know my exact rank, but as far as she was concerned, I was a high ranking n.o.ble that looked difficult to approach (or, to be more blunt, I looked a little scary). And as a potential sponsor, I was probably both unnerving and terrifying to her.

But, I didnât want her to have a bad impression of me.

Seeing that she was already a famous person at the capital, it was unlikely to have this sort of opportunity for a face to face meeting that had nothing to do with my status. This happened because I took advantage of my political influence⊠Not! I doubt I couldâve even met Miria personally without depending on Fatherâs connections. Thatâs why, being treated a little warily by her is inevitable.

I paused to tell her that I was her fan at this very first encounter. But even though she told me ãplease feel free to call me Miriaã, it clearly feels like she was told to say that by the manager.

I was not only firmly denied from using polite speech towards her, a girl older than me, but also when I informed her ãIâd like it if youâd call me Lycorisã, she only bowed her head deeply at me. A pa.s.sive rejection.

Even though we got to see a few of the dress rehearsals and the like, we quickly departed since it seemed like Miria couldnât concentrate at practice with us around.

Thus, it opened the doors to me agressively offering her gifts.

Itâs no good to give ma.s.sive presents right at the start. So I started with bouquets. Then, sweet snacks that were popular at the capital. I checked that Miria took in food just like a human, of course. I also investigated that she like sweet things. In these sorts of things, she was no different from a human girl.

Incidentally, the theatre managerâs behaviour was thoroughly polite towards me who continued to frequent this theatre. I donât know the exact sum, but itâs obvious that Father investing in this theatre for the forseeble future had something to do with it.

There was also the matter of time. I can only visit the capital until school starts, so I donât have infinite time. During this holiday, by all means, I want to build relations.h.i.+p with her to the point where ãitâs okay even if I send letters to herã . That way, I wonât be completely forgotten by her.

Shade answered with a ãdonât ask meã looking like he found helping me out both unpleasant and troublesome.

I held on to a little hope. When making friends, I donât think its good to get any further help from Father who was influential, having said that, itâs also hard to depend on Wolf for this. In times like these, itâs easier to ask favors from siblings.

Even though he took in my hopeful look, Shade gave me a slightly mean-spirited smile.

With that exchange, I renewed the vow that Iâd figure something on my own.

Naturally, I knew about her achievements as an actress and all the various roles she played thus far. But though I had those sort of topics as a starting line, to begin with, she gets frightened every time I try to talk with her at the moment.

Looking at her, I learned something almost immediately. That was⊠that she shows very few emotions on her face.

I find it really hard to believe after seeing her perform with an abudance of emotions on the stage, but Miria Galant was near expressionless off the stage. Even though it was clear enough to tell that she was frightened of me in our first encounter, it seems that was an exceptional case, if anything.

She doesnât appear excited or nervous before a performance and she doesnât look relieved when it ends either.

However, due to my persistent observation, I had just barely been deciphering the emotions hidden in Miriaâs limited facial expressions. Of course, since I donât have the confidence, Iâve been fumbling, day every day.

Iâve come to realize that she likes small cute flowers over large showy bouquets. It seems that she likes flower that were white in color. And it appears she wasnât fond of flowers with overpowering smells.

So besides the bouquet I handed to her on stage, I also gave her a basket filled with small flowers at the dressing room.

It appears that among the sweets, she had a fondness for baked confectionaries. And it looks like she preferred not the overly sweet taste of artificial seasoning, but the natural sweetness and fragrance of plain simple fruits and nuts.

I visited her dressing room, bringing a small basket of flowers like Iâve been doing these last few days. She earnestly welcomed me without shaking in terror like she had the very first time we met.

Even though Iâm happy that she grew accustomed to me up to this level, our emotional and physical distance was still very far from ãfriendlyã . I talked with her near the door without so much as stepping into her dressing room so that I wonât scare her.

The development that differed from usual was when she laid eyes on the flower basket I brought.

Actually, I relied on my connections to search for this flower knowing that it was going to be a little expensive because it had matched her preference to a Tâ small cute white flowers with a mild smell. But since Iâm scared sheâll draw back in terror if she ever finds out what I did, I canât tell her that.
