I'm posting the sixth chapter.

"What does that mean?"

"I'm terribly sorry, madam! It seems that the communication was not properly conveyed..."

I was in the middle of a situation like a battlefield.

Thanks to this, my mother, my My Angel, became extremely angry. What am I supposed to do?

"So you admit that this was due to your negligence?"

"Yes, indeed... For such a blunder in the prestigious Roundheart family, of course, the person responsible for communication will be fired..."

"Well, that's fine. Please handle it on your side. And... can Ain be allowed to enter? Since this is your negligence."

"I deeply apologize, but this party is hosted by the Grand Duke, and there's nothing we can do..."

"Is that so..."

What happened was that the Grand Duke, August, the top noble in our country, said that only one child is allowed, and no siblings should be brought to the debut.

The reason was that at the previous debut, during the introduction of one of his grandsons, the younger siblings who were brought along, who were even younger than me, cried and made a fuss, making the party unusually chaotic.

Therefore, the Grand Duke decided that only one child would be allowed at the debut parties he hosted.

And it seems that this communication did not reach the Roundheart family...

Mother had planned this debut for me, so she asked Father if Grin could be pulled out this time.

Father was very troubled, but Alma, who was nearby, interrupted.

"What are you saying? This is also Grin's debut as the next head of the family! To leave without showing your face... Do you intend to disgrace us!?"

She shouted.

Even I thought, "What is this guy talking about?" But this confirmed my suspicion.

This was probably set up to embarrass me and Mother.

To think that a mistake like this could happen in a renowned family that has produced famous generals is unlikely.

Someone must have been paid off, or the letter was burned so no one could see it... But the method doesn't matter anymore.

Now, how do I get out of this? Still, the Grand Duke's garden is amazing. Is it lit up with magic or something? It's romantic and has a great atmosphere.

It's so artistic that I can't even describe it, and I see flowers I've never seen before.

"Mother"

"Ain... I'm sorry. Please wait a little longer, okay?"

"No, Mother. I need you to wait a moment... Excuse me, security guard."

"Y-Yes, what is it?"

Do you think I'm going to complain?

You don't need to be so tense...

"I would like to ask the Grand Duke. The garden is so beautiful that I can't help but be interested. Could I be allowed to view it during the party hours... Is that okay?"

"Ah... I apologize, Lord Ain. I will go and ask the Grand Duke right away, so please wait a moment."

"No, no, take your time."

"A... Ain"

Mother, don't look so sad. Because...

"The garden is so beautiful, with flowers as beautiful as you. I'm sorry... I want to see the flowers more than my important debut. I hope you won't be disappointed in such a son."

"Ain... I'm sorry, really sorry?"

"Why are you apologizing so much? I'm the one who caused the trouble."

"H-H-H... I'm sorry, Lady Roundheart... Lord Ain!"

"How did it go?"

Hey, hey, did you run so much that you're out of breath?

Is it okay to do that in a place full of nobles?

"The Grand Duke said he will assign a guide. If that's the condition, you can see it as much as you want."

"That's very kind. Who will be the guide?"

For now, I'm relieved that we can leave this place.

I just hope no one will interfere with me and Mother!

"It's me."

"...Pleased to meet you, my lady. I am Ain Roundheart... May I have your name, please?"

"A, Ain, this is..."

The one who said "It's me" was a beautiful girl with long, light blue hair that swayed in the wind. She looked about 3 or 4 years older than me, and if I had to rate her potential, she would be Ultra Rare.

"I am Crowne August. The eldest daughter of this house. I will be your guide."

But, Grand Duke, I never thought you would assign your own daughter as the guide...
