As usual, Sherry left the library after spending some time with Dietrich. On her way, she met the Duke, but she ignored him, did not greet him and went ahead.

The Duke: "Wait a minute, can we go to my office? There is something I want to tell you."

The Duke thought that in the past few days he wanted to talk to her, and he even bought a ruby necklace from the auction.

But in the past few days, he was very busy because of the food shortage problem in the Duchy.

Finally, he was able to solve it, so he had some free time.

Basically, he was going to talk to her after lunch, but since he met her on the road, he will talk to her now.

God knows how empty he felt these days, Sherry completely ignored him. Usually, she would take the initiative to greet him and talk to him, but now she does not communicate with him at all.

And before he goes to sleep every night, he keeps thinking about her, her words, and her tears, and he feels guilty for being so harsh with her.

Sherry: "Okay."

After that, she passed by him to go to his office, while the Duke followed her from behind.

Sherry entered after the Duke and as soon as he entered

He opened his desk drawer then took out a jewelry box

Duke "Here is a gift"

Sherry "Do you think that just because you gave me a gift I will forgive you"

Duke "No we will talk well to solve this matter"

Duke "First of all I am sorry I did not mean to make you sad. All the matter is that you and Angela are my daughters and I do not want anything bad to happen to both of you"

Sherry acted as if she was surprised by his apology on the surface in fact she knows that her position in the Duke's heart has risen.

So his apology was not surprising to her and she did not intend to reject him because doing too much does not lead to good results it must be done in moderation in addition to the fact that if she reject him that will affect her image.

Sherry smiled a sweet smile and said "It's okay and I also apologize for ignoring you these days"

After the problem was over Sherry headed towards her room and as soon as she entered Leah came to her "Madam, new dresses were brought from Tiana's store and she also sent you a message"

Sherry "Okay" Sherry read the letter which was about how tiana found a great place in Embar Street, one of the main streets of the nobles, and how she will buy it tomorrow and prepare everything for the shop.

Although Sherry does not see Tiana, she can feel her intense excitement through the message.

Sherry remembers that in the original plot, it was not that Tiana willingly accepted Angela's offer to be her personal designer, but she was forced, so she will make sure that Tiana's fate does not repeat itself again in this life.

After that, Sherry looked at the dresses, especially a certain dress.

"Perfect."

Sherry came out of her room and headed to Felix's room.

After that, she knocked on his room door.

Felix "Who?"

Sherry "I'm Sherry."

Felix "Come in."

Sherry "Okay."

Then, Sherry entered the room and smiled a reserved smile. "Okay, brother, hello."

Felix "What do you want? Jewelry, money or what?"

Sherry "Hmm, brother, what? No, brother, I don't want these things. It's just I heard about Natalie's party, the Marquis' daughter, whose party the nobles love to attend."

Felix "How did you know I would be at the party?"

Sherry "I felt"

Felix "It's not possible for you to go, this party is different from the usual banquets of nobles, everyone enters with a mask and the atmosphere is very open, you are still young for these things"

Sherry approached Felix and then wrapped her arms around his arm "Brother please I have been feeling really bored the past few days, plus I will stick to you, don't worry I will never leave your side"

All Felix felt and sensed at this time was her chest completely stuck to his arms and her good smell, he felt ecstatic, plus he couldn't stand her acting coquettishly

"Okay okay you will go to the party"

Sherry "Really thank you brother" then she kissed him on his cheek and left the room.

Felix froze for a few seconds after that he put his hand on his cheek that felt hot after the kiss and smiled unconsciously a silly smile.

On the other hand, Sherry sat on the bed thinking in the novel that Natalie's party was mentioned which is held every two months on the 17th day, So she thought it would be held today.

As soon as it was 4:30, two and a half hours before the party, sherry started preparing. First, taking a shower, aromatherapy, and styling her hair.

What she chose was a shiny silver dress with deep nickeline.

After that, she put a diamond necklace on her neck. Of course, she wouldn’t go out like this. If Fleix saw her, although he would certainly be impressed, he would certainly tell her to change it. So she wore a black jacket over it. The jacket had emerald buttons so she closed it.

Thus, she covered the upper part of her body.

As for her hairstyle, it was a low bun with some strands of hair on her face.

Sherry thinks that everything she wore doesn’t match what Noble women usually wear in parties whether it’s the color of the dress which is a shiny silver , the deep nickeline , or even the jacket she’s wearing.

Yes, there is, but it’s always made of feather and isn’t closed.

Sherry also didn’t put any makeup on her face, unlike modern makeup, this makeup contains a large amount of lead, mercury, and arsenicthat which harms the skin.

So all she put on was pink lipstick. Then she put a shiny black mask in the shape of a butterfly on her face.

After seeing Sherry's final result, Bella and Leah looked at her in astonishment,

"Madam, you look absolutely gorgeous."

Sherry smiled, and she had given May a day off so as not to disturb her plans, as she did not want Angela to interfere in what she gonna do today.

At that time, two hours had already passed, and now only half an hour remained.

Sherry went to Felix's room and knocked on the door, and once he see her Felix's reaction was no less than Bella and Leah's.

"My sister will light up the party today with her breathtaking apperance."

Sherry "Thank you, and my brother looks handsome beyond words in the blue suit today."

After Sherry and Felix got into the carriage, they went to the party.

As soon as Sherry entered the party, she understood why Felix did not want her to go, as there was an adult-only sexual atmosphere and many men and women were touching each other. It seemed that the mask gave them confidence.

Sherry and Felix went to corner, and as soon as they sat down, some men and women rushed to Sherry and Felix to start a conversation, but Felix rejected them all.

Until this:

A woman with pink hair came not for Felix but for sherry "Hello I like this jacket you are wearing as well as the dress Your style looks very distinctive this is the first time I see it"

Sherry "Thank you I also like your red dress it matches your hair color well By the way I got this dress from a boutique called Tiana on Amber Street that sells many innovative designs."

Sherry could see that this woman did not seem to have bad intentions. So she felt comfortable talking to her.

Felix "Excuse me but who are you?"

Natalie "I'm Natalie the host of the party then she lowered her mask a little to show her face"

Felix recognized her and relaxed a little .

Felix "Well I'm Felix son of the ducal of Braxton and this is my sister Sherry"

Natalie recognized Sherry from the rumors she heard recently

Natalie "Nice to meet you"

After that one of Felix's acquaintances came by but Felix seemed reluctant to leave.

Sherry "Brother don't worry about me go and enjoy yourself"

Natalie "Yes don't worry I'll take good care of Sherry"

After that Sherry and Natalie chatted a little bit after that

Natalie "How about we have a drink" Sherry "I'd love that" Natalie "What would you like?" Sherry "I'll order the same as you" Natalie called the waiter "2 Scotch whiskies please"

Sherry could tell that this was a strong alcoholic drink.

But whether in her previous life or her current life, she has a strong tolerance for alcohol, but she will not show it.

Then she drank the entire cup of whisky, she activated the acting skills of a professional actress.

Then, as if she was feeling drunk and hot, she took off her black jacket, exposing her snow-white neck and chest in a sexy way.

Then, she pinned her hair, and her wavy hair fell dramatically, as if she was making a hair advertisement, of course, to show that to this person.

Then sherry stood up

Natalie "Sherry where are you going?"

Sherry "I'm going to the theater."

Natalie "Why?"

Sherry "To sing."

Natalie didn't stop Sherry because Sherry seemed determined to do so.

Then, sherry headed towards the stage, where there was a musical band and a singer singing mechanically, and she seemed to have lost her passion.

Sherry reached the singer with faltering steps, "Hello, can I sing?" The singer said, "Of course." Then, she left, as if she had been pardoned.

Sherry grabbed the microphone that worked with magic power and said, "Heyyyyyy." Suddenly, everyone in the hall looked at her. Then, the looks changed from casual and light looks to focused and deep looks, all was placed on the charming girl on the stage. "Hiccup, watch this, how I will sing tonight."

Then, she started singing Ariana Grande's song , The Boy Is Mine

She had planned this moment for a long time.

She changed her voice using the beauty system to an angelic and ethereal voice with a musical quality.

In addition, she has rich singing knowledge and experience.

In her previous life, she studied singing for 2 years.

She wanted to increase her popularity through singing, but the problem is that her singing voice alone is terrible. Her voice is simply not melodic.

Everyone was quickly drawn in by the angelic singing voice as well as the lyrics of the song which they found to be extremely interesting.

The band quickly grabbed the tune of the song after Sherry sang the first line.

After all, this band is one of the best singing bands in the empire. Everyone listened carefully and some started dancing.

Sherry understood why everyone was interested in the song. After all, the songs here have a literary and monotonous character.

So they feel that the song she sings is different, especially since it talks about a new topic that has never been sung about before, which is the possessiveness that women feel towards men.

Sherry "The boy is mine I can't wait to try him (Oh, yeah) Le-let's get intertwined The stars, they aligned The boy is mine Watch me take my time I can't believe my mind The boy is divine Boy is mine"

Felix was looking at Sherry singing in amazement.

At first he wanted to stop her, but then he felt curious and listened to her singing and couldn't help but feel impressed.

As soon as Sherry finished, a loud applause rang out in the concert hall.

Sherry "Did you like it that much? Okay, I'll sing another song."

After that she sang fantasize another song for Ariana grande.

Sherry "I fantasize about it all the time.

If you were mine (If you were mine, baby)

I'd give this feeling to you, nine-to-five (Nine-to-five)

Five-to-nine (Five-to-nine)

Tryin' to behave, but I'm feelin'

Some type of (Way), way (Way)

That just ain't me"

As a result the atmosphere became hot.

After that came , a wave of loud applause.

Sherry staggered a little and looked drunk. Even if no one could see her face, it was obvious that she is drunk.

Then she blow a kiss

"This is the last song for you lovies and it's called make you mine"

Sherry "I, I, I wanna feel, feel, feel Wanna taste, taste, taste Wanna get you going I, I, I wanna lay, lay, lay Wanna string, string, string Wanna make you mine"

In the middle of this song, some people started singing and mumbling along, and many started dancing. Suddenly, the atmosphere became very active.

Immediately after sherry ended, she ran down the stage, but suddenly a few men approached her.
