I tossed and turned around in bed...
I stared up at the starry ceiling above.
"How beautiful..."
Daddy installed some realistic glowing star ornaments on the ceiling ever since I told him I liked them.
So on my 13th birthday he gave them as a gift.
I was so grateful and awestruck for it just like all the other gifts I received on my birthdays but I was more happy about it.
Because it was something I sincerely liked and daddy got it because he knew I liked it and got it as a surprise gift.
I don't hate the gifts Claude gives me.
Just a few of them are to my liking and have strong interests.
He started giving me things I like since my 11th birthday.
The day before my 11th special day.
Claude and I had our usual tea time.
He gave me an early present, a lovely golden dress but he noticed my disappointed look on my face.
"Do you not like it?" Claude asked with a slight sad expression in his eyes with a frown on his lips.
"Ah-no! I like it! It's just not what I wanted..." I mumbled the last bit of my sentence.
"Not what you wanted?" He gave a confused look as I gave a surprised look at the same time.
"Don't girls your age like these things."
"Perhaps but not me." I stated as I drank my glass of milk because I wasn't allowed to drink tea yet since Claude wouldn't allow it till I was 14.
Claude gave a glare to Felix whom I assume gave the false information to Dad but he turned back at me and gave a slight smirk, "Then what do you like, Athanasia?"
I grinned, "Something not so girly, fancy or bright unless it's for a special day since I'm going to be 11 tomorrow."
"How so?"
"Something for my 11th birthday should be hand made. Something that a lot of effort has gone into from a commoner who is trying to make a living." I looked up from the table to Daddy who gave a slightly surprised expression.
"Quite specific?"
"Yes."
"I see, I'll tend to it, have a nice day, Athy." Claude kissed my head and gave a pat before going off to the Garnett Palace to finish his paperwork.
So the next day on my 11th birthday, he gave me another gift...
It was a bracelet!
It wasn't fancy or golden but it was beautiful.
A woven handmade bracelet made of a leather material.
It had some lovely gems placed around it and my name was written inside with gold.
I was thankful and kissed Daddy on the cheek.
Since then when I mentioned something I liked or caught my eye, daddy would always give it to me no matter what the day was.
I told him it wasn't necessary but Felix says, "It's how His Majesty expresses his love to you."
I smiled at the thought.
With the gifts from Daddy that I liked I kept them.
And with Daddy's permission I donated or sold the ones I didn't want to keep since I was running out of room.
If I get money I give it back to Daddy or I buy something nice for Daddy.
Felix says he treasures anything I give to him.
Like the drawings I drew when I was younger.
I tossed again in bed.
I should get some shut eye...
To be Continued...Every Wednesday
