<span style="font-weight:400">During breakfast, Keith had made hash browns, scrambled eggs, and some boar belly and chicken breast for everyone to eat. It was a feast. While they all ate,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Grandpa, you should eat more earth chicken. It''s packed with a lot of protein." Keith smiled.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure." Lionel smiled.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Grandpa?" Sophia and William tilted their heads.
<span style="font-weight:400">Sophia questioned, "When did the two of you be so close with Keith?" It was only a day since they came here. Yet, these two were so close with the child.
<span style="font-weight:400">She could tell there was a strong closeness the two had with him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Is it strange that we, his grandparents, aren''t close with him?" Camelia questioned. She turned to Keith,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Am I right, Keith?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah, Grandma." Keithughed.
<span style="font-weight:400">William and Sophia tilted their heads, wondering what happened. But there was one thing they tied it to. The Keith effect. It was not a surprise when it came from him. After finishing breakfast, Camelia turned to Sophia,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sophia, I was thinking we should have a greeting party."
<span style="font-weight:400">Greeting party? Keith tilted his head. He looked at Sophia, and her expression was dark. She sighed,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mother, why do I have to do that?"
<span style="font-weight:400">It was clear to Keith that she didn''t like doing it. It was a hassle.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You have to do it. It''s a good way to make connections with other nobles." Camelia dered calmly,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Also, It''s a great way to showcase my grandson''s abilities."
<span style="font-weight:400">"!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Camelia continued, "Don''t you want those nobles to be jealous of us for having Keith?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" Keith let out a weird sound when he heard that.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m in!" Sophia didn''t hesitate to say that. Camelia pped her hands together. She turned to Keith,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, can you make cookies and other dishes for the event?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure! I got an idea of what I want to do?! Can I also design the tables and the other things too?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith looked excited. This would be the first time he would feed others besides his family.
<span style="font-weight:400">Everyone looked at the excited expression Keith had. What is he going to do? They wondered what was going to happen.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">I know what I need to do. Keith was lost in thought as he was drawing something on some parchment. Camelia and Sophia watched over him.
<span style="font-weight:400">But he was too focused on drawing to notice it. He looked up at Camelia,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Grandma, can I get something like this for each table?" Keith then showed her a drawing.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, this could be made." Keith smiled, "Alright. Now I need to think of the dishes to cook."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Pace yourself, Dear." Sophia was worried.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t worry, Mother. I''m fine! I''m going to make it perfect!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you, dear," Sophia smiled when she heard that. Her son was too thoughtful!
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">While Keith focused on designing the area, Sophia and Camelia weren''t doing nothing.
<span style="font-weight:400">They were sending invitations to everyone they knew.
<span style="font-weight:400">Many noblewomen became interested in this. That was because the Grand Duchess was the one who did it.
<span style="font-weight:400">But the other one was Marchioness Freed.
<span style="font-weight:400">She was rare.
<span style="font-weight:400">She lived in the cold region, so there wasn''t any contact with her. And in the royal castle,
<span style="font-weight:400">The queen, Thalia, stared at the invitation she received. It''s definitely the grand duchess who did this. She and Sophia were friends. And she knew Sophia wasn''t the type to invite people.
<span style="font-weight:400">It would be great for her to meet other nobles. Thalia had other thoughts about this.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">On the day of the party, many carriages arrived in front of the Grand Duchess''s estate.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Greetings, Grand Duchess, Marchioness. It''s an honor to meet you." The noblewoman greeted Sophia and Camelia as they entered. Sophia and Camelia were dressed up,
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s nice to meet you all. Please follow our butler and maids to the venue." The noblewomen and their daughter followed the butler and maids to it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sophia, keep your expression up."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I know." Sophia''s expression was falling apart as she greeted them. It was hard keeping up this mask.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t mess up Keith''s hard work." Camelia lectured.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I will never let anything happen to Keith''s work." Sophia''s eyes were lit with fire. She won''t let anything happen to him! As more and more people started to arrive,
<span style="font-weight:400">"It seemed I''m thest one to arrive." Thalia smiled as she got out of her carriage.
