This was not the first time Evelyn had accepted gifts while refusing to meet the nobles who came to see her.
She refused to show her face to nobles with low titles, yet still accepted their presents. On top of that, her attitude was extremely arrogant.
She was utterly convinced that she would soon become a member of the Emperor's royal family.
"You all must work harder. I don't want even the slightest mistake at tomorrow's banquet. Remember, that banquet is being held for me."
Evelyn stared sharply at the maids in the room. The maids could only nod silently.

The long-awaited banquet had finally arrived.
Since morning, Evelyn had been busy preparing for the event. Every maid was rushing around, leaving no time to receive visiting nobles.
Outside her residence, a luxurious carriage was already waiting to take her to the banquet hall.
