The gifts given by the younger generations of each family are different.
There was a master key given by Jayce, a small fully automatic mechanical pet dog made by Victor himself and with Li Lin's "auxiliary chip", and a priceless and exquisite bracelet given by Mel.
Compared to his peers and other family members, Jace's master key could actually be considered a top-tier gift...
Catelyn maintained a polite smile and thanked everyone one by one, then asked the servants behind her to put the gifts away.
Soon, a young man from the side branch of the Midalda family, who looked to be in his early 20s, with the same slicked-back hair as Jace, and a confident smile on his face, came forward with an exquisite gift box in his hand.
"The circular gears turn clockwise, Miss Gilaman, may all happiness be with you, looking up is spring, looking down is autumn; may all joy follow you, the full moon is poetry, the waning moon is painting, happy birthday!"
He gently opened the gift box, and a necklace made of gold and flawless colorful gems, with extremely delicate workmanship, lay quietly on the soft cloth.
Under the dim light of the alchemical chandelier, strange colors faintly flow in the gems, as if smooth tassels are embedded in them, which is very stunning.
"This is an enchanted necklace. I commissioned the finest craftsman in Midalda to make it, and I traveled thousands of miles to ask a reclusive wizard to enchant it with the magic of 'charm'.
"I think it suits you perfectly. If you wear it, it will not only make you more extraordinary, but also highlight your unique and unmatched temperament."
As the young man from Midalda finished speaking, the people in the auditorium, who had been keeping quiet, burst into an uproar.
"It's actually a magical item..."
"My goodness, it must be expensive, right?"
"He's really got it."
"It seems that the Midalda family is planning to form a powerful alliance with the Jiraman family?"
“…”
Listening to the exclamations of the audience, Caitlin glanced in a certain direction, and a trace of imperceptible worry flashed in her eyes.
"Can I put it on for you?"
The young man from Midalda bowed slightly and performed a standard noble etiquette towards Caitlin.
"I'm sorry, there's someone else who wants to give you a gift." She declined with an apologetic smile.
"Hmm?" A hint of doubt flashed across the young man's face.
It was obvious that all the young men from the major families that he knew had already given their gifts, and had delayed it as long as possible, so who else would line up behind him?
He thought for a moment, then bowed politely to Caitlin again, "I'm sorry."
Then he slowly stepped down from the stage.
At this moment, a young man wearing a custom-made tuxedo made by Gilaman and holding an equally exquisite gift box passed by him.
The young man from Midalda raised his eyebrows, stopped, and looked back at Li Lin who was walking towards the stage.
Looking at the familiar person slowly walking onto the stage, Caitlin's beautiful eyes were filled with thoughts, and the polite smile on her face gradually turned into joy and anticipation.
"Sorry, I'm late." Li Lin said softly with a faint smile on his face.
"Just the right time to be the last one on stage, isn't it?"
