When I returned to the villa, I was surprised.

As soon as I opened the door, pretty flower decorations and ribbons with my name on it greeted me.

While I was playing at the beach for a while, all the employees in the house seemed to have finished preparing for the party.

With a bewildered feeling, I was led by the maids and headed to the dining room…….

“Mir, happy birthday!”

“Happy birthday, my daughter!”

My parents, dressed in cone hats and bright suits, welcomed me.

“Mom and dad… … ?”

I blankly blinked my eyes.

What is this!

‘Obviously, both of you said you were busy with work this morning…… Was it really my birthday party?’

As I was looking around, the employees came with a bunch of gift boxes in carts.

“Wow, is this all mine?”

A much larger pile of presents than last year and the year before.

Somehow I couldn’t believe it, so I asked in a trembling voice.

“If it’s not yours, Mir, whose gift would it be? Today is Mir’s birthday, isn’t it?”

“It is, but…… uh?”

I was taken aback as I looked at the names written on the gift box.

‘Is this what my friends sent me?’

I don’t think I ever said exactly when my birthday was in kindergarten.

How did everyone find out? They sent me a present for my birthday.

In addition, it was accompanied by a handwritten letter in a pretty envelope.

‘Nicholas, Ninaina. And Cedric…….’

Next to it were small presents from my parents and several other noble families to congratulate me on my birthday.

For a moment, I was fed up with emotion.

Of course, it didn’t end here.

Suddenly Bang! Bang! A small firecracker went off, and colorful confetti landed on the floor.

“Miss! Happy sixth birthday.”

“Congratulations!”

At the same time, one door that had been closed opened, and the chefs and cooks, whom I thought were only at home, ran out and presented me with a large cake.

“…… Is this my face?”

Green tea cream eyes were placed on the white cake and under the thinly sprinkled chocolate drizzle eyebrows.

A mouth that is gently curved with strawberry drizzle.

Thinking of the chef who must have been proud of making this made me laugh out loud.

“Miss, I made this cake!”

“I did the decorations!”

Everyone came out each other at my smile, trying to show off their work.

Really, it was a fun birthday party.

The night after the party. I slowly unwrapped the gift package.

“…… !”

I happened to first open the gift that Nicholas had sent me, and I was stunned when I checked the identity of the gift.

‘Somehow heavy!’

The box was so heavy and bulky that I couldn’t even lift it with my own strength.

There were dozens of children’s books in it.

‘Isn’t this like sweeping away all the books of famous fairy tale writers in the empire?’

After a while, I came to my senses and checked the handwritten letter from Nicholas that came with the box.

As well as Nicholas’s neat and calm personality, the handwriting was neat and tidy. Unlike me.

Only after opening the letter did I understand why Nicholas had sent me such a gift.

He seems to have read it and only picked interesting children’s books from among them and presented them to me.

At the end of the letter, “Happy Birthday” was written in letters that showed signs of hesitation.

I didn’t expect Nicholas to have this kind of attention to detail.

It was really surprising. And I was so grateful for that.

Ninaina’s gift is a large, ordinary jewelry box…… or so I thought it was, but when you press the hidden button, the bottom is separated and a secret space is revealed.

After reading the letter, she said that she gave it as a gift because she thought I would need it too.

In Ninaina’s words, she says these days she keeps her own secret diary, which she hides in this very jewelry box.

‘No, wait. What if you tell me this! It’s a secret!’

Apparently, Ninaina trusted me more than I thought.

I decided to repay her for that trust.

Never mention Ninaina’s diary to anyone.

Even if it was Nicholas or the Emperor or Empress!

Next was Cedric’s gift.

“What? This…… is this a shield? And what about this strange-looking bottle?”

It was quite heavy, so I wondered what was in it, but what came out of the box was nothing other than a large shield made of pure gold.

It was so large that if I hid behind it, at least I would be covered.

And with the shield was a clear glass bottle the size of the palm of my hand.

A golden liquid was glistening inside the glass bottle.

It was like mixed sand.

“Okay, let’s read the letter.”

I couldn’t figure out the identity(?) of these objects just by looking at them, so I decided to read Cedric’s letter.

On the letter paper made of rough paper, something was written in a handwriting that was rougher and more bizarre than the texture of paper.

“What did you write…  ?”

Cedric’s handwriting wasn’t very clean in the first place, but this letter was really hard to read, probably because it was written in a carriage running on a gravel road.

But I managed to decipher it with willpower.

‘So, in a word, did he present his reward to me?’
