Rudeus opened it to find a maid who told us we were being summoned for something. The maid took us to the same room we had the birthday party in for Eris and we found everyone there from the mansion. "Rudeus! Happy tenth birthday!" They all exclaimed.
"And Ceres happy ninth birthday!" Eris added.
"What?" Rudeus acted dumb. 'Ceres, you do the same.'
'I see cake for 100 people, aka for one Ceres.' I hummed.
"Rudeus, happy birthday!" Eris came up to him and held out a bouquet of pink flowers.
"Oh yeah, I'm ten years old today." Rudeus accepted them then started to cry and I freaked out.
'THIS IS FAKE!' Rudeus's mind yelled.
"Yeah, but you cry I...cry." I had tears running down my face, crying is contagious to me like laughing.
"Sorry, it's just that, this is new to me." Rudeus cried. "Since we got here, I was worried we might not be welcomed...I never thought you'd throw a party for me.."
"To arms!" Sauros raised his cane. "It's war with the Notos! I will Murder Pilemon and put Ceres in charge!"
'Eh? Why her?' Rudeus asked in his mind confused.
"Father! Restrain yourself!" Philip tackled Sauros and it only made me cry even more.
"Remove him. He's making Ceres cry!" Eris yelled, and he got dragged out by a servant.
Rudeus was patting my head. 'Was my acting too good?' Rudeus asked me.
"No just stop crying." I demanded.
"Forget about grandfather, I've got a surprise for you two today!" Eris exclaimed.
"What is it?" Rudeus asked as he showed he had no more tears, so I automatically stopped impressing him.
'Wow, your body really just cries when others do?' Rudeus thought.
'I always did it when Norn and Aisha cried. My eyes were so swollen from crying so much.' I hummed. 'I miss them.'
"Take a guess!" Eris yelled loudly showing she had yelled that many times, but we were having our own conversation.
"Norn? Aisha?" I mumbled.
"Are Father and the others coming?!" Rudeus asked excitedly.
"Huh? Um well, we did invite your family but monsters have been acting up and they couldn't make it." Eris explained nervously.
"I see, that's a shame." Rudeus mumbled. 'Are you okay?' He asked me in his mind.
"I'm used to it, but are you okay, Rude?" I asked him.
"Used to it?" Eris mumbled. "Uh, Rudeus, Ceres, you see...."
'HUH? OH NO! WE MADE EVERYONE TO DEPRESSED!' Rudeus's mind freaked out and I looked around and felt awful. I just made them suffer when they were trying to do a good thing.
"I'm so-" I went to apologise, Hilda then hugged Rudeus and me.
"You're both my children now!" She declared.
'Huh? I thought she hated me.' Rudeus thought.
"I will adopt you two." Hilda decided. "No! Marry Eris!"
"MOTHER?!" Eris screeched, and I whined a little from the pain of her scream.
"Is my Rudeus not good enough for you, Eris?!" Hilda exclaimed.
"Rudeus is only ten!" Eris retorted.
"Age has nothing to do with it, you need to be more feminine and-" She started to scold her then got dragged out. "Unhand me. I must save those children!"
