◈ I Unleashed a Gossip Gallery in Another World ◈
Chapter 42: House Agnail's Tea Party
──────
[Noble Lady Gallery Eraser: Only those who know Elrod Durgel well, come in please.]
At dawn on the day of House Agnail’s tea party.
Taking advantage of the Gallery’s quietest hour, Noble Lady Gallery Eraser quietly uploaded a post to the Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery.
Noble Lady Gallery Eraser: Elrod <<< Please tell me in detail about his type, what he likes, and what he dislikes.
Noble Lady Gallery Eraser: If fact-checking proves you lied, I’ll challenge you to a duel and beat you black and blue, so be prepared.
One by one, noble ladies who were somehow active even at dawn began leaving comments on the rather blatant request.
Noble Lady Gallery Deputy Mod1: It’s a lie that he has a good personality. There’s a rumor he seduced women behind the scenes and ruined their lives.
ㄴNoble Lady Gallery Eraser: Manage the Gallery unless you want to die.
ㄴNoble Lady Gallery Deputy Mod1: Fuck, it’s true....
The very first person to comment was the Noble Ladies Gossip Gallery’s first deputy mod.
[Noble Lady Gallery Deputy Mod1 has been blocked.]
[Reason: Get lost.]
Naturally, she received a twenty-four-hour ban for disrupting Noble Lady Gallery Eraser’s plans.
“That bitch is worse than Lady Yurian....”
“Your Highness the Crown Princess? Is something wrong?”
“Ah, it is nothing.”
As a result, she could not even participate in the massive gossip bait that was House Agnail’s tea party, and truly had no choice but to manage the Gallery.
(Mage Tower’s Top Disciple Eirin): He fucking hates hair accessories and dressing up.
(Mage Tower’s Top Disciple Eirin): I think he also hates flashy hairstyles. Keep it as neat as possible.
(Mage Tower’s Top Disciple Eirin): For the same reason, flashy dresses are forbidden. I recommend a plain dress that does not try too hard to stand out.
After her came an anonymous user who began leaving strangely detailed information.
“Hmm....”
Lady Yurian narrowed her eyes as she read the comments for a while, then wore a cold expression and moved her fingers.
Noble Lady Gallery Eraser: Don’t fuck around.
ㄴ(Mage Tower’s Top Disciple Eirin): I’m only telling you this because I don’t have personal feelings for Elrod hehe.
ㄴ(Mage Tower’s Top Disciple Eirin): Believe it or not~
“....”
Yet after reading the next comments, Lady Yurian rolled her eyes as she thought.
‘Come to think of it, even when he saw my looks and accessories, his expression never changed even once....’
Cold sweat trickled down her face as she looked into the mirror.
‘Should I take off all the hair accessories first...?’
Lady Yurian removed every ornament she normally wore and arranged her hair in a calm, neat style.
“Is the dress for the tea party ready?”
“Yes, My Lady.”
“The finest dress, prepared by the Empire’s greatest tailor with a month of painstaking work....”
Lady Yurian summoned a still-sleepy maid and gave a firm order.
“Throw it away.”
“Pardon?”
“If it seems wasteful, you can wear it.”
The maid’s eyes widened as she questioned her own ears.
“R-Really?”
“Instead, prepare a plain, modest dress that stands out as little as possible by today.”
Of course, Lady Yurian did not literally believe everything an anonymous Gossip Gallery user had written.
‘When the usual method does not work, one must try something different....’
Still, her experiences had given Yurian a rough understanding of the man called Elrod. She decided to place just a little faith in the unverified comments.
“Hm-hm....”
Having completely changed her style in an instant, she began lurking in the Holy Church Gossip Gallery.
[Church Gallery Eraser: I heard somewhere that men really like women with large breasts!]
“....”
Lady Yurian carefully inspected the post by Church Gallery Eraser, for whom she had even recently set a keyword alert.
[Church Gallery Eraser: Can someone explain why men like women with large breasts?]
ㄴ(Goddess): (An Orc emote sweating nervously)
ㄴ(Goddess): (An Orc emote making a shushing pose)
ㄴ(Goddess): (An Orc emote fidgeting anxiously)
Aside from Lady Yurian, whose entire face had not been revealed, it was not difficult to infer the identities of Erasers who had verified their moderator badges.
Of course, anonymity was the fundamental principle. Even Erasers pretended not to know one another.
Still, there was nothing stopping Yurian from lurking for high-quality information unknowingly leaked by that emptyheaded bitch who clearly had feelings for Elrod.
‘Breasts....’
Fortunately, Lady Yurian did not need to put in any effort this time.
‘...There is no need to do anything about those.’
If nothing else, that was one thing Lady Yurian had confidence in.
(Commander-in-Chief Elosia): You know our Elrod!
(Commander-in-Chief Elosia): He has an adorably flustered side that gets all worked up over touch from proactive women hehehehe.
“...!”
Lady Yurian had been looking down at her chest with a smile on her lips when she saw the newly posted testimony and widened her eyes.
(Commander-in-Chief Elosia): If you stay quiet then hug him from behind, he loves it to death lol. He’s sickly, so he can’t resist well either hehe.
ㄴNoble Lady Gallery Eraser: How do you know that?
ㄴ(Mage Tower’s Top Disciple Eirin): Who the fuck are you, bitch?
ㄴ(Goddess): (An Orc emote fuming in absolute fury)
ㄴ(Goddess): (An Orc emote fuming in absolute fury)
ㄴ(Goddess): (An Orc emote fuming in absolute fury)
‘Proactive physical affection....’
There was a high chance this was another unverified rumor.
But Lady Yurian knew.
She knew of the moment when that man’s cold expression, which had never changed even once, had reddened for the first time.
“Umm....”
Lady Yurian now began contemplating how exactly she should be proactive.
‘How does one even do something like that?’
Unfortunately, despite being the queen of high society, she knew nothing about such matters.
At most, she had only the knowledge she had gained from secretly reading the maids’ erotic books when she was young.
[Noble Lady Gallery Eraser: Proactive physical affection <<< How much is allowed with a man you are not dating?]
ㄴAnonymous1: What is wrong with her these days? lol
ㄴAnonymous2: Are you that desperate, Sis? hehe
ㄴAnonymous3: Manage the Gallery properly, you fucking bitch.
In the end, Lady Yurian once again asked the Gossip Gallery for help.
“Ha....”
And someone watched the endless flood of question posts, which continued from dawn into that morning, with dead eyes.
‘Thank goodness I recruited Ciel.’
It was none other than Elrod Durgel himself.
“L-Lord Elrod....”
Elrod raised his head at the faint voice that suddenly came from before him.
“This really... does not seem right.”
“Why not?”
“W-Well....”
Ciel, wearing the custom-made dress that had only just arrived in time, was sweating coldly as she hid her body behind curtains on either side.
“It does not suit my unremarkable figure at all....”
And in truth, her words were somewhat correct.
“I would be better off simply wearing my knight’s uniform.”
“....”
“Y-You could still get a refund and use the money as pocket money....”
Even Elrod, who had prepared the dress for her, had already noticed that.
“Lady Ciel.”
However, that was precisely what Elrod had intended.
As someone who needed to make Ciel stand out and protect her mental state as much as possible to extend her lifespan as an Eraser, he knew this was his best option.
“Have you ever heard of gap moe?”
About an hour later, despite Ciel’s fierce opposition, the dress was loaded into a carriage bound for House Agnail.
“Gap moe... What is that?”
“Ah, was that not a trend here?”
“...Pardon?”
Inside the carriage, Elrod’s lips curled even higher as Ciel’s complexion darkened further.
‘If Ciel becomes the star of this tea party, I can live a little more peacefully, right?’
Already, a wicked plan worthy of a Gossip Gallery moderator was forming in his mind.
* * *
House Agnail’s tea party.
That tea party held a very different meaning from ordinary tea parties enjoyed by noble ladies.
First, men were allowed to attend.
And not only men. Those who could not be called noble ladies were also allowed to attend.
Most unusually, every attendee was among high society and the Empire’s most promising figures.
As you may have guessed by now, House Agnail’s tea party was where the core figures of high society were chosen.
Along with the Imperial Ball, where new nobles made their debut and factions’ standings were decided, the ducal house’s tea party had long been called one of high society’s biggest events.
[Anonymous: Ducal house tea party <<< Is high society’s Big Two back?]
[Anonymous: We should decide after seeing this round’s guest list lol]
[Anonymous: Anyway, upvote if you are not going to that Crown Princess bitch’s tea party lol]
Of course, its prestige had faded somewhat after Lady Yurian’s downfall.
But after Lady Yurian’s miraculous return following the incident at the Imperial Ball, its fame was returning to its original glory.
As a result, everyone who had come here today sat in their seats with equal parts excitement and tension.
“Hmm-hmm....”
Among them was Penelope, eldest daughter of House Argention, the famed swordsmanship house.
‘It is the first time House Agnail has sent my family an invitation....’
She had always been sidelined at Imperial Balls in favor of her eldest brother, Pyro.
‘Their intentions are unclear, but this is an opportunity.’
Still, House Agnail’s tea party was different, as noble ladies had priority in attending.
Many people would surely take notice of Penelope, who had avoided showing her face as much as possible for the honor of her swordsmanship house.
[Empire Village Gossip Gallery, All Smiles]
[✪Live Thread: Ducal House Tea Party (Comments, go go)]
This was especially true in the current era, when even tea parties, a space forbidden to men, were no longer secret.
Anonymous1: Lady Violetta <<< Is it true she is abandoning her faction to attend this ducal house tea party?
Anonymous2: Student Council President Celine <<< I heard she is attending the tea party before even graduating from the Academy lol
Anonymous3: Upvote if you think more people have been dropping their mystique to follow Elrod lately lol
‘There are already so many desperate bastards.’
Since the Gossip Gallery appeared, the way high society’s rankings were decided had changed somewhat.
Anonymous7: Penelope <<< Is the rumor that she is beautiful true?
Anonymous8: Eldest daughter of a swordsmanship house <<< Share what she looks like hehe
Anonymous9: Penelope <<< She is the noble lady I have been admiring lately lol
“Hehe....”
The more someone was mentioned, the more buzz they had.
And naturally, the person mentioned most among the ducal house tea party’s attendees was the veiled Penelope.
In other words, the star of this tea party was obvious.
“Ha!”
“O-Over there!”
“O-Oh my?”
However, Penelope discarded that thought about five minutes later.
‘Elrod Durgel...?’
The man creating the hottest buzz in Imperial high society had appeared at the ducal house tea party.
“H-Hm-hm!”
“O-Over there....”
“H-Hello....”
Before Penelope could even say anything, several noble ladies ran toward Elrod with shining eyes, though he had not even taken a seat yet.
‘I do not need to be the star.’
Penelope watched them coldly for a moment, swiftly revised her plan, and began walking in that direction.
“Step back.”
Then a cold voice suddenly rang through the duke’s guest room where the tea party was being held.
“Lord Elrod has been invited today as Lady Yurian’s personal guest.”
“....”
“I will cut down any unrelated people who approach.”
Ciel, the Knight Commander accompanying Elrod, radiated a cold aura with her hand on her sword’s hilt.
“Ah, yes....”
“I-I see....”
“Excuse us....”
Most of the noble ladies stammered and returned to their seats.
Of course, these were women who lunged at Elrod in the Gossip Gallery whenever they had the chance, saying they would take him to bed. But none of them possessed the courage to do so in reality.
Especially not with the Empire’s Finest Sword guarding his side.
[Anonymous: Upvote if Ciel suddenly sucks lol]
[Anonymous: Just as expected, there is an obstacle ^^]
[Anonymous: Ciel <<< Since when did she change jobs from the Emperor’s hunting dog to Elrod’s hunting dog? lol]
Therefore, the noble ladies could do nothing but lower their heads with sullen expressions and reveal their bitterness through the Gossip Gallery.
Tap, tap....
It was fitting behavior for armchair-warrior noble ladies.
“....”
That was, except for one person: Penelope, the eldest daughter of a swordsmanship house and a marquis’s daughter.
“Did you not hear me?”
When she refused to return to her seat, Ciel asked in a cold voice.
“I merely intend to guide Lord Elrod. It is customary for a guest newly arrived at a tea party to greet the Duke and Lady Yurian.”
“....”
“Lord Elrod. Excuse me, but please accompany me for a moment....”
Penelope smiled at Ciel with her eyes and began approaching Elrod.
“Take one more step, and I will cut you down.”
But the next instant, a chilling warning left Ciel’s lips.
“Tch....”
Penelope stopped in her tracks and glared coldly at Ciel.
“By the way, you are awfully stiff-necked.”
“....”
“Surely there are manners a noble must observe.”
The next moment, Penelope bit down on her lip and had no choice but to bow her head.
“...My apologies, Lady Ciel.”
As Commander of the Imperial Knights, Ciel was accorded the protocol rank of a marquis within the Empire.
No matter how lowborn she was, that fact did not change.
Penelope’s father was a marquis. She did not hold a marquis title herself, so naturally, she had no choice but to bow before Ciel.
Penelope’s body trembled as she lowered her head. Ciel coldly watched her for a long time before turning away.
“I shall go inform the Duke and Lady Yurian of Lord Elrod’s arrival.”
“Ah, yes.”
“I will return shortly, so please wait a moment.”
Ciel bowed to Elrod, then passed Penelope’s still-trembling form without a word.
“Just an accessory.”
Penelope glared at Ciel’s retreating back and began muttering in a cold voice.
“Acting as though you are something special....”
Penelope, once considered the Empire’s most promising swordsmanship talent, had always hated Ciel since Ciel took the Empire’s Finest Sword title from her.
Even though Penelope had reached the brink of Swordmaster at a young age, she could never defeat Ciel.
And Ciel’s lowborn origins only made Penelope’s inferiority complex grow day by day.
Anonymous27: Why did the live feed suddenly cut out???
Anonymous28: Penelope <<< Show her already!!!!!!!!!!
Anonymous29: Did they get hit with the Golden Shield? Is the Saintess actually insane?
ㄴChurch Gallery Eraser: The Golden Shield does not exist anymore!
ㄴChurch Gallery Eraser: Are you stupid?
ㄴAnonymous30: Stop interfering with the live feed and fuck off.
Still, Penelope had recently regained some composure.
‘Even so, you are only an escort.’
After all, public opinion in the Gossip Gallery was on Penelope’s side, not Ciel’s, who had done many things that would invite gossip behind her back.
‘Your position is different from mine, who was invited as a guest, is it not?’
And in the end, status did not change.
Penelope well knew that the previous Knight Commander had been dismissed at a single word from the Second Prince, who had been lobbied by swordsmanship houses.
‘How long can you possibly keep that position....?’
The true power hidden by the Imperial family and the continent’s ruling class was not something a mere Swordmaster could handle.
Penelope knew that well due to her family’s ties with the Imperial family, and she could clearly see Ciel’s end.
Anonymous34: Breaking) Elrod has appeared lol
Anonymous35: Lady Yurian <<< She really sharpened her blade lol
Anonymous36: Looks like only high society’s core figures were gathered here....
Anonymous37: Yurian’s inner circle <<< Upvote if you are a young nobleman who wants in too ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
‘In the end, you will never be the center of attention forever, Ciel....’
Having overcome the inferiority complex that was beginning to surface once again, Penelope leaned back in her chair with a relaxed expression.
“Lady Penelope....”
“It is an honor to meet you.”
“I had no idea you were such a beautiful woman. Haha.”
Several young noblemen already seated at the table began speaking to her.
“Hehe....”
Penelope smiled with her eyes, about to fully enjoy this situation Ciel could never have.
“...Excuse me.”
Then a low voice suddenly came from beside her.
“I was somewhat late because I had to change clothes.”
The next moment, silence descended upon the guest room where the tea party was being held.
“I am Ciel, attending as Lord Elrod’s partner.”
In the silence, the person who drew everyone’s attention, not just the young noblemen who had been about to speak to Penelope, introduced herself with a gentle smile.
“May I take a seat?”
Anonymous41: Uh, excuse me???????????
Anonymous42: Upvote if you are a tea party attendee who cannot believe your own eyes right now lol
Anonymous43: Gasp gasp gasp gasp gasp gasp gasp gasp....
Anonymous44: Well, I will be.... hehe
Anonymous45: Did I drink too much wine? lol
The Imperial-related Gossip Galleries, where ducal house tea party gossip was in full swing, began going wild right after that.
* * *
Immediately after Ciel sat at the tea party table in an outfit no one had expected.
Grit....
In the silence that had fallen over the guest room, only Lady Penelope’s teeth grinding could be heard for a while.
“Excuse me, but are you feeling unwell?”
“...No.”
“I thought perhaps you urgently needed to use the restroom.”
The next moment, after Ciel gave Penelope a puzzled look and asked her that question.
[✪(Breaking) Ciel: “Does Penelope need to take a shit?”]
[✪Ciel sis, that is so damn refreshing lol]
[✪Upvote if this is an insanely fresh vibe you never see from noble ladies lol]
The Gossip Gallery began filling with reactions to Ciel’s remark.
Ciel secretly watched those reactions in real time, and her body quietly trembled.
‘My every word is receiving this much attention....’
She was receiving more attention than she ever had in her life.
[✪Are the photos circulating in the Gossip Gallery really Ciel herself??????]
[✪Ciel <<< Is she really almost thirty???????]
[✪Penelope <<< Who is that again? lol]
[✪The Empire’s Finest Sword and strongest female knight is walking around in a soft, flowing dress instead of armor? LMAO]
Penelope’s face was a wonderful sight as she clenched her teeth, having her attention snatched away in an instant.
“Hehehe....”
Ciel lowered her head for no reason and secretly let out a dark smile.

[Anonymous: If you thought she was a noble lady who had just made her debut, totally believable.]
[Anonymous: That is thirty years old? Give me a fucking break lol]
[Anonymous: Upvote if you suddenly have a thing for older women lol]
“....”
But only for a moment. Ciel’s expression soon darkened slightly.
“L-Lady Ciel. Good morning... No, good afternoon.”
“I-I have always admired you.”
“I-It is an honor to meet you like this.”
The hesitant young noblemen began approaching her one by one.
“Ah, ahaha....”
Even Ciel, oblivious as she could be, could clearly tell what they were thinking.
‘Even I can see their intentions plainly.’
Ciel forced a smile to hide her displeasure, then turned her gaze.
“....”
Thanks to Ciel, Elrod had finally managed to escape the attention for the first time in a while. He grinned and secretly raised a thumb toward her.
‘Compared to that man....’
Ciel’s expression briefly softened in emotion before she lowered her head again.
“Hm-hm....”
With a slightly embarrassed expression, she vaguely answered the words coming from every direction and began lurking in the Gossip Gallery again.
(Posted by: Vice Commander Howard)
[✪Gallery Owner.JPG]
Ciel found herself being treated as the Gallery Owner in the Swordsman Gossip Gallery and thought with a fluttering heart.
‘Maybe I am prettier than I thought...?’
Then Ciel cautiously lifted her head.
‘I-If so....’
She began stealing glances at Elrod, seated in front of her.
“Lord Elrod, ah... Hello....”
“I-I heard a rumor that you like purple eyes....”
“E-Hehe....”
But the next moment, Ciel saw young noble ladies speaking to Elrod, and her expression stiffened slightly.
“....”
Then she shook her head.
‘I have been having strange thoughts lately.’
She soon returned to her cynical expression.
‘...The relationship of master and disciple is enough.’
Having settled her thoughts, she came to her senses and straightened her posture.
“Lord Elrod, excuse me, but... I have a question.”
Then Penelope, who had been grinding her teeth until then, suddenly spoke to Elrod.
“Recently, House Argentia contacted Lord Elrod about taking charge of your swordsmanship instruction.”
Everyone seated there turned their attention toward Elrod and Penelope.
“There are rumors that Lord Elrod has been training in swordsmanship lately....”
“....”
“Would it not be acceptable to give us an answer soon?”
Penelope’s eyes narrowed further.
“As the eldest daughter of a swordsmanship house, I would also dare to wish to become Lord Elrod’s master.”
“Haha....”
“I believe this would be a very good opportunity for both our houses. What do you think?”
A cold silence flowed through the tea party venue.
“I am truly honored to receive such a precious opportunity.”
And when Elrod scratched his head and said those words amid the silence.
“As the eldest daughter of a swordsmanship house, you would surely be more than qualified to serve as a master.”
Ciel’s eyes wavered briefly before she lowered her gaze with an expression that said she had expected this.
“However... I already have a master.”
The next moment, Ciel widened her eyes and lifted her head.
“I have promised to serve Lady Ciel as my master and inherit the Ciel-style sword forms.”
“....”
“Therefore, please forgive me for daring to be unable to serve two masters.”
After some time had passed.
Anonymous50: Ciel <<< She really is Elrod’s master, fuck.
Anonymous51: Saying he will learn Ciel-style sword forms while sitting beside the eldest daughter of a swordsmanship house, that is baiting her, right? lol
ㄴAnonymous52: Penelope’s expression, fuck lol
ㄴAnonymous53: He hit her right where it hurts lol
Anonymous54: But is this really okay? Did he not just reject an alliance offer from a marquis’s house?
ㄴAnonymous55: This guy must think House Durgel is a joke lol
ㄴAnonymous56: But it looks like he genuinely wants to learn, not just socialize lol. I really like Elrod lol
Ciel stared blankly at the rapidly moving live thread, then urgently rose from her seat.
Anonymous62: But honestly, if it is Ciel VS Penelope, the latter is the better choice lol
ㄴAnonymous63: Ciel <<< She is strong, but is her swordsmanship not too difficult to learn even if you want to?
ㄴAnonymous64: Seriously lol. Swordsmanship houses have lots of manuals, so even someone frail could learn quickly. This is interesting lol.
ㄴAnonymous65: Unless Elrod is a once-in-a-thousand-years genius, the latter is obviously the favorite lol
The comments were still pouring in, perfectly voicing the doubts Ciel had already begun to have.
Anonymous70: Elrod <<< Does he actually like Ciel???
ㄴAnonymous71: Gasp gasp gasp lol
ㄴAnonymous72: The fact that it makes sense is fucking hilarious lol
ㄴAnonymous73: Elrod has that kind of taste...?
ㄴAnonymous74: Come to think of it, was there not a rumor that Elrod likes older women? lol
“...E-Excuse me. I need to use the restroom for a moment.”
Around then, Ciel hurriedly closed the Gossip Gallery and began walking away quickly.
“...Hng.”
She ran not to the restroom, but to the end of the ducal house corridor. Leaning her back against the wall, she clasped both hands over her chest.
Thump, thump, thump....
Ciel trembled as she felt her heart beating faster than ever.
“Calm down.”
“....”
“Calm down, Ciel.”
She soon began repeating those words to herself over and over.
“That child said it without knowing any better.”
She tried her best to ignore the thoughts she had just had.
“...Act like a knight should.”
Yet her expression remained impossible to control.
“I should, but....”
“Why is my heart beating like this....?”
* * *
“Ha....”
How much time had passed?
“Please forgive my many discourtesies.”
Having barely calmed herself and regained her composure, Ciel returned to the tea party table with heavy steps.
“I apologize for leaving my post as an escort for a moment....”
Ciel was about to bow to Elrod in a somewhat businesslike tone.
“....”
Her expression became blank a few seconds later.
“Yes, you tidied your hair well, just as I told you.”
“....”
“But I suppose there is nothing to be done about that sticking-out hair. Should I personally assign you a stylist...?”
A woman had taken complete possession of the seat beside Elrod, which was now empty.
“Lady Yurian....”
“Are you using honorifics with me again?”
“...Yurian.”
The woman was none other than Yurian von Agnail, the true host of this tea party, who for some reason had not appeared until now.
“Yes, that is right.”
As Yurian gently tried to stroke Elrod’s hair, Elrod avoided her hand as though accustomed to it and asked with an irritated expression.
“What are you doing right now?”
Silence followed.
Even though the second son of a count house had dared to speak informally to a ducal lady, no one there could pay attention to that fact. They could only blankly watch the situation unfold.
“Can you not tell?”
Lady Yurian had placed her bare leg over Elrod’s lap and was smiling with her eyes.
“It is friendly physical affection, Elrod.”
The next moment, Lady Yurian slowly turned her gaze toward Ciel, who stood blankly in place.
“...Heh.”
Fixing her gaze on Ciel, who unknowingly clenched her teeth, Lady Yurian raised the corner of her lips and began stroking Elrod’s hair again.
