### Summary
In a direct social confrontation, Mielle hosts a gathering for lower-ranking noble and commoner businesswomen to assert her new status as Oscar Frederick's fiancée. Her attempt to win them over fails spectacularly as she delivers out-of-touch, classist, and sexist advice, insisting a wife's duty is to manage the household and not dirty her hands with business. This elitist perspective completely alienates the working women, who find her views offensive and unrelatable. In contrast, Aria, also present, masterfully leverages her commoner background to connect with the attendees. By validating their ambitions and demonstrating genuine understanding, she skillfully turns the event to her advantage. Mielle's ploy collapses in humiliation, and she storms off, while Aria successfully forges new alliances and secures an invitation into their influential circle, highlighting the profound difference in their strategic abilities and worldly experience. The chapter underscores Mielle's naive, sheltered worldview and cements Aria's position as a far more cunning and effective villainess.
