“This is the concept and order of the party that I planned. Please read it and if you have any good ideas or suggestions, feel free to share.”

The preparation team members looked puzzled as they read the plan, which they had received for the first time.

“Miss Blanche, why are you giving this to us…”

“Just a moment, please don’t call me Miss Blanche anymore. And ‘Miss’ or ‘Lady Iva’ won’t do either.”

“Then, what should we call you?”

“Very good question!”

Iva waited for a moment and then brushed her red hair back as if she had been waiting for that question.

At that moment, the golden nameplate pinned to her chest sparkled.

The word “Captain” was written very clearly and prominently.

“Please call me Captain from now on.”

It was a title that didn’t suit a noble young lady from a prestigious family. Everyone looked at Iva with astonished expressions.

“I won’t just stand around and give orders. I will drive nails, move tables, and work with all of you.”

A Count’s daughter doing manual labor? Knowing that nobles are always accompanied by servants and never lift a finger. They all looked at Iva in disbelief.

“I will take responsibility for all your work. So feel free to make mistakes; it’s okay. But there is one thing I must insist on.”

Iva raised one of her little fingers.

“You must not get hurt. Although this party is for the Fenet delegation, all of you who are preparing are equally important characters. Please, don’t get hurt.”

It was a phrase that no one had ever heard while working at the palace, making everyone feel awkward.

“For the remaining time, let’s all do our best!”

After finishing her speech, Iva approached everyone and extended her hand.

Fel, who was watching with impressed eyes, quickly extended her hand over Iva’s hand.

Seeing Fel’s action, the others hesitated for a moment but then followed suit, placing their hands on top of each other.

When everyone’s hands were together, Iva chanted, “For the success of our flawless party!”

“…For the success of party!!”

The preparation team members hesitantly raised their hands, not fully understanding what was going on.

Until then, they had never believed Iva, thinking that she was just talking and would remain behind the scenes after, just giving orders.

Being aware of the prejudice, Iva took the lead and acted accordingly.

Instead of wearing an uncomfortable dress, she put on the same work clothes as the team members and lifted tables. She touched dust casually and didn’t mind getting dirt on her face.

When someone got hurt, she gave them easier tasks and made sure everyone worked only nine hours according to labor standards.

“It’s already 6 p.m.! Drop what you’re doing and go home!”

“But we haven’t finished all the tasks yet.”

“It’s okay. You can come back tomorrow and finish it. Everyone, go home!”

How could one not open their heart when witnessing such scenes?

“Captain, I’ll do this.”

“I think yellow flowers will suit better here, Captain.”

“Captain! How can you be so smart?”

Before they knew it, the team members were calling her “Captain” and faithfully following her lead. They were urging her to assign them tasks. In a short time, she won everyone’s hearts.

Everything was flowing smoothly according to Iva’s plan.

For the first time, it felt like everything was going her way, but she still couldn’t let her guard down.

“Captain, here is the list of attendees for the upcoming party.”

Fel handed her the list with a bright smile.

Iva received it with a slightly nervous expression.

“These are the names that His Highness Claude personally ordered to be invited?”

“Yes! The names of the members of the Fenet delegation are also listed.”

Iva carefully examined the names written on the document.

Most of them were filled with the names of extras with minor roles from the original work.

As she scanned through the list, one name caught her eye.

?Count Evera Lawrence?

It was the name of Count, who adopted Julian as his foster daughter. However, there were only two people confirmed to attend the party.

“Why are there only two? There should be three people coming.”

In the original work, Julian and her foster parents appeared together at the party.

It was written in the original work that they entered the social scene together.

It was written in the original story that Julian would appear holding her foster parents’ hands tightly, as it was her first time attending such an event and they didn’t want their precious daughter to feel nervous.

There was no way I could confuse this. Because Julian’s appearance marked the beginning of the original story.

As a devoted fan of the novel, I couldn’t forget such an important moment.

“Fel.”

“Yes?”

“Have you heard any rumors about one of Lawrence’s couple being unwell?”

“Oh, I’ve heard that Countess Lawrence hasn’t been feeling well recently.”

Then, Count Lawrence and Julian… The father and daughter will attend.

Whether it’s two or three people, the fact remains that Julian will be there.

In my past life, I was rejected by Ray and met Julian afterward. But this time, I will meet her at her first appearance.

The story is twisting in a strange way. Holding the list in her hand, Iva’s grip tightened.

“It’s finally starting.”

Julian Lawrence. It was finally time for the true heroine to make her entrance.
