「Everybody, I would like to thank you for coming today for my birthday celebration.」
That day is Cornelia’s birthday celebration.
Lords from all over the country were invited and came to celebrate the Duke and Duchess Sjogren’s eldest daughter and it is a great success.
In the hall where the invited guests were gathered, the host, the duke and the duchess, express their gratitude to the guest, and Cornelia’s greetings begin. The front-most position belongs to Cornelia and for some reason, Milan, who’s already blue, is sandwiched between Najek and Eseria.
「Ano…..Eseria-sama. I know that you asked me to dress like this but, don’t you think it’s strange that I’m standing here with you!?」
He is wearing Najek’s clothes from several years ago. Milan is very uncomfortable even though he looks like a legit noble child while wearing those clothes. He never expected that when she said “Help me on the day of the party.”, she means he’s going with them like this. Never in his dream did he thought this would happen and it is already too late for him to cry. However, Eseria just cuts down his complaint without mercy.
「Milan, repress your belly. Today, you are the third son of a relative of Duke Sjogren family. Make sure the nobles attending won’t have a bad impression of you.」
When he was told to not rattle anymore, Milan can only put his head down in disappointment while listening to Cornelia’s greeting.
「These young ladies are already getting out of hands….When they went to our house last time, my mother became strange. Now, every time I come back from this mansion, she’ll always ask me “Have you got any new manuscripts of Eseria-sama?” with a very scary expression…..」
「My apologies Mila. They even managed to put anxiety to a little boy like you.」
「Najek-sama….」
Milan, who was comforted by Najek, who was standing diagonally behind him, turned to him in a hurry. He felt warmth in his heart enough for him to tear up. He wiped his blurry eyes with his hand and bowed.
「No, Najek-sama is only three years older than me. Since you are always with them, compared to you….I apologize for being upset even though we should be celebrating.」
「Yeah, let’s both do our best today.」
「Yes. Since it has already come to this, we can only do our best.」
That way, a friendship between men was established. Cornelia’s greeting ended so she called out the maids waiting around.
「We have prepared a little entertainment for everyone to enjoy so we would be glad if you give it a try….everyone, get ready.」
「Yes.」
「Maa, what kind of entertainment would Duke Sjogren’s family show?」
「Should be something large scale or something really luxurious. I’m looking forward to it.」
While watching the maids prepare things, the guests are whispering with each other full of expectations. However, the things arranged betrayed the expectations of most of the invited guests.
