Cheers erupted, and familiar faces came into view.

Among them were members of the Hero’s party and friends and classmates from the academy.

Of course, over half the guests were nobles associated with the Blackwood ducal family—people I didn’t know.

‘At least everyone who received an invitation seems to be here.’

I had personally delivered invitations to the Hero’s party, so I knew they’d come. I had also handed out invitations to the tea party ladies about two weeks prior.

The only one I had to send via mail to the academy was Mirif, but thankfully, it had reached her in time.

Natalie and Lilia were the loudest, shouting their congratulations, while Mirif stood quietly in the back, clapping.
