"So, what is this?"

Lelia sat around her four friends and saw an unidentified fountain pen. The fountain pen looked very luxurious, but it had an unusual atmosphere as it was set with jewels.

It was Romeo who brought this fountain pen.

"I asked my father to make it. It's a little early, but it's a gift for you guys."

"By the way, what were you talking about earlier? I heard that there is a magic spell casted on it."

Romeo then smiled and swept away his golden hair at Lelia's question. Then he said with a smug air, "It's a fountain pen that the five of us can share messages through. If someone writes a letter, it'll go straight to five people."

"Wow!" Lelia exclaimed. It was also a royal gift with magical powers.

Romeo briefly demonstrated. When he wrote on a piece of paper, pieces of paper appeared next to the other fountain pens.

Romeo: It's my gift.

In addition, by the name engraved on the fountain pen, they could see who wrote the message.

Kalix was also delighted, saying, "It's strange."

Oscar and Griffith also seemed to like the present.

"So everyone, remember to write letters when we go home. Oh, the gemstone set in it is a magic stone. If you take this off, you won't be able to exchange letters, so be careful."

At Romeo's words, Lelia looked at the fountain pen with a smile.

[Yes, officially, I have to work hard until the crown prince dies.]

Lelia glanced cautiously at Kalix sitting on the other side. Maybe because she thought about his future yesterday, she was really curious about him today. Especially those amber eyes...

"What are you staring at?"

"Who is a cry baby?"

"No? Even if I die, guys, you guys... Ugh..." Kalix laughed at Lelia, who cried last time.

Lelia couldn't stand it anymore, and she opened the cap of the fountain pen and rushed at him, "I'll kill you!"

"Hold it in, Leo!"

Oscar and Griffith held back her arms.

The next day, Lelia celebrated her real birthday with her friends.

The children commemorated the day together as she requested, even though they didn't know whose birthday it was. It was her last birthday with her friends. They gathered in her living room, put a birthday cake on the table, and lit candles.

"Thank you for being with me, guys." Lelia blew out the candles and smiled at them.

"He's crying again." Kalix said as he watched her eyes.

"Whose birthday are you even crying about?"

"Leo, don't tell me... dead girlfriend...?"

Griffith and Oscar asked in turn, but Lelia rubbed the corners of her eyes, shouting, "I'm not crying!"

Tears welled up, thinking it was her last birthday together with them.

"No way Leo, you don't have a mother, do you? Is it actually your real mother's birthday or something like that?"

"..."

At Romeo's question, Lelia looked at him grimly.

[Hey, your tone is not the same as usual]
