"Why? Let me guess. Did you see another girl's legs before you returned to Tobesk?"
Leicia smiled at Shade in the mirror, but her tone was not dissatisfied:
"Don't worry, you were pretty good last night. In fact, such a hot night was exactly what I was looking forward to."
Then he asked his sister:
"Ajelina, how do I look?"
The little princess stood behind Leicia holding a comb, looked at her in the mirror, and said honestly:
"Very good, even radiant. I think you are more beautiful than any young girl in this palace without makeup."
Although it was the truth, she used the term "young girl" deliberately to imply that her sister was a bit old.
After putting on the earrings with great satisfaction, Leisia leaned close to the mirror and touched her cheek:
"In fact, my complexion has always been very good, especially after Xia De shared some tips on the secret of eternal youth. I thought that after only sleeping for an hour, I would..."
“Ahem!”
Ajelina coughed accidentally, and Leisia glanced at her from the mirror and smiled obscurely. Looking at Shad again, he was holding Mia and throwing her on the bed, and the cat was jumping on the bed happily.
"What are you doing?"
She asked as she let Ajelina braid her hair.
"Look."
Xia De picked up Mia and turned her back to the mattress. As soon as he let go, the cat fell to the bed, flipping 180 degrees, with four small paws touching the bed:
"I noticed that cats always land on all fours no matter how they fall. So I wondered, what would happen if I had two Mias and tied them back to back and dropped them from a height?"
He said with a smile, the cat scratched his hand, wanting Shade to throw it again:
"However, there is probably no other cat in the world as smart and cute as Mia."
Leicia shook her head at Shade's childish behavior, and the little princess smiled and said:
"Two cats were spinning in mid-air before landing. When their speed reached a certain limit, they turned into a perpetual motion wheel?"
The three of them laughed. Leisia continued to look at the two people behind her in the mirror:
"Sunday is Ajelina's birthday party. I originally wanted to give her Shade as a birthday present... Oh! Ajelina, if you dare to pull my hair off, I will definitely let you know what the dignity of a sister is!"
She threatened with dissatisfaction, and Ajelina apologized hastily, blushing as she continued to fix her hair.
Xia De wanted to object, but Leicia waved her hand:
"I know you won't agree, so forget it. But it doesn't matter. Judging from Shad's performance last night, I'm still reluctant to share it with Ajelina. Ajelina, I know what you're thinking, but Shad doesn't agree, and I can't force him. After all, I'm his lover, not him... "
She used an eyebrow pencil to trim her eyebrows in front of the mirror and was very satisfied with her good complexion today:
"Originally, I was thinking of playing with Shade during the birthday party, having him blindfold himself and play some exciting games, and then calling you in halfway through."
Ajelina's face was red as if blood was dripping, which was very similar to Miss Lathers last night. But Shade knew that Leicia was teasing her sister on purpose. The perception of a ring wizard is not just based on the eyes. The "other me" is the strongest means of perception for the ring wizard.
"That would be interesting, but you see, it's Shad who disagrees, not me."
She looked at Ajelina behind herself in the mirror. The sixteen-year-old girl said "hmm~", so Leisia concluded;
"So, let me train Xia De a little more, and in the future you can directly enjoy the warmth and power..."
"Lecia!"
Xia De really couldn't bear to listen any more.
"Are you shy now? You were very bold last night, my knight."
Leixia put down her eyebrow pencil and carefully selected the color of lipstick. The lipstick of this era was very different from what the outsiders remembered, and even the cosmetics of this era were generally mixed with lead powder. But fortunately, the existence of the ring wizards promoted the development of chemistry to a certain extent, so people have gradually realized what is toxic.
"Carina will probably return to Tobesk on Friday or Saturday. She handles things really quickly. She prepared a pair of earrings for Ajelina that the previous queen, our great-grandmother, had worn. I prepared a small manor and an attached farm in the south of the kingdom for Ajelina as a birthday gift for her seventeenth birthday. Shad, what have you prepared? If you haven't prepared anything, I'll prepare one for you as we agreed before. Or, do you want to hear the opinion of the writer?"
She talked about the topic of birthday presents in front of Ajelina, but fortunately Ajelina didn't care. Her thoughts were still on the "game" that Leicia had just described.
"I didn't have any ideas, but today is Monday, so I have some ideas."
Shad stroked the cat and said, Mia was a little unhappy that Shad didn't play games with it anymore.
Leicia just thought about it and understood:
"You mean the gift box? But is Ajelina considered a child?"
"Children are not just measured by age."
Besides, Shad added, 16 is still considered suitable as long as it is not Sunday.
Leisia then looked at her sister through the mirror:
"She is indeed not calm, and her love of romance and fantasy does not really indicate maturity. As for her figure..."
She didn't comment, just smiled and looked away, but this made Ajelina feel the biggest insult so far, but she couldn't refute it.
After all, although they were sisters from the same father and mother, they were not only very different in height, but also in body shape. Ajelina was about to turn seventeen, and there was no possibility for her to continue growing.
"Okay, Shade, I admit that you are right. She meets the requirements. However, are you sure you want to let Ajelina touch that sage-level relic? She is just an ordinary person after all."
"Her inspiration is already dangerously strong, as you said yourself. I think she will be able to awaken in the next few years. Whether she wants to go to Zalaas Academy of Literature like you, or become a disciple of a witch, she will be exposed to these things sooner or later."
God's Gift Box has three positive features, namely "Relic Combination", "Relic Collection" and "Weekly Gift". The first two are useless to Ajelina, so Shad wants to give Ajelina the opportunity of "Weekly Gift" this week.
He simply explained the characteristics of the relic to the little princess - telling ordinary people about the characteristics of a relic is actually a serious violation. Sure enough, just as Shade thought, even if she knew the complete characteristics of a divine creation, Ajelina only had a nosebleed.
So, before breakfast time at the Yodel Palace, the two princesses followed Shad and Mia to St. Teresa's Square No. 6. After Shad brought the gift box from God to the living room on the second floor, Ajelina watched him open the lid of the ancient box nervously.
"What do you think Ajelina will get?"
Xia De asked Leixia, and Leixia shook her head indifferently:
"As long as she didn't find your Pink Book, I wouldn't be surprised if she got anything."
"Mr. Hamilton, do I need to prepare anything?"
The little princess asked nervously.
Shade shook his head:
"This box will give you gifts according to your wishes, just relax."
"According to my heart..."
She reached into the box and immediately touched something that did not belong to the box. She roughly judged the shape and took it out with some doubt.
The three people and the cat looked over together.
"Meow~"
Seeing that it was not food, Mia immediately lost interest.
"Ordinary items?"
Seeing that there were no traces of the elements, Xia De put his mind at ease.
"crown?"
The gorgeous golden crown surprised Ajelina.
"Wait, why does this look so familiar?"
Leixia frowned slightly, and then she saw the newspaper that Shade had brought with him when he came in. On the front page of the newspaper was a photo of His Majesty the King:
"This is my father's crown! The symbol of the highest glory of the Cavendish family!"
Leicia stood up at once, and Ajelina trembled as if she was frightened:
"I don't know why..."
"Don't play that trick on me. I don't blame you."
She sat down again and asked her sister seriously:
"Ajelina Cavendish, tell me, you want to be the queen of Delarion, right?"
Ajelina was so nervous that she stammered and didn't know what to say. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Xia De took the initiative to speak:
"Even if you add the four printing plates of banknotes in the basement, nothing I have ever obtained is more valuable than this. It seems that the gods are also willing to bless Ajelina's birthday."
Leicia glanced at him, took the crown, fiddled with it a little, and motioned for Shad to lower his head.
"No, I won't wear anything like that. It's too heavy."
Xia De objected, so Leixia looked at Ajelina again, and the little princess also shook her head:
"Sister, don't give it to me."
At least this statement is honest.
So the heavy crown was placed on the sofa, and then Mia was placed inside the huge crown. The cat was very unhappy because the metal crown was very hard and cold.
"What is the mission?"
Xia De asked again, and Ajelina thought about it:
"My sincerest thanks to at least three people who gave me birthday presents."
She used her eyes to get her sister's consent, leaned over and kissed Xia De's cheek:
"Thank you, Mr. Hamilton. I like this gift very much. But can I keep it with you for a while? It is very precious."
Xia De originally wanted to turn it into a toy, string it up with a rope and let Ajelina wear it as a necklace or hair ornament. But considering that even if it became a toy, it might be lost, and this thing might be useful in the future, he agreed:
"But this is my gift to you. What's the use of leaving it here? I'll prepare another gift for you. You will definitely be satisfied."
