"My...birthday?"
Gwen stared at the elegant Victor in front of her, and froze on the spot.
The cello music around us changed from a soothing rhythm to a light and cheerful one, and the lights in the restaurant reflected even brighter from the crystal ceiling.
All eyes were on the two of them.
It seemed that everyone present tonight was there to celebrate for her alone.
Gwen had never felt this way before.
Because of her childhood experiences, no one will celebrate with her.
Only when Kevlar was at home would her beloved older sister secretly prepare two cakes for her.
But as Kefla grew up and left home, this surprise disappeared from Gwen's life.
Over time, even she herself forgot about this special holiday that was very special to her every year.
At that moment, Gwen seemed to understand.
Why would Leah go to such lengths to help her with her makeup and design such an exquisite dress?
Why would Victor suddenly invite her to dinner?
It turns out they had been preparing from the very beginning.
An indescribable emotion slowly rose and brewed in Gwen's heart.
She remembered.
Today is my birthday.
Even though she herself had almost completely forgotten those days, it was Viktor who reminded her of them.
This was the person she used to hate the most.
Gwenton stood there, feeling as if a huge boulder was hanging over his heart.
She wanted to say thank you, to thank Victor in front of her.
But it felt like something was blocking his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
She stood there, but felt a little anxious.
Countless eyes were clearly watching her from all around.
If she doesn't respond.
Wouldn't that embarrass Viktor?
Move a little, Gwen.
Is it really that difficult to say just one sentence?
Please...
"I……"
"Um?"
Victor smiled as he looked at her.
That smile was an emotion Gwen had never seen on Viktor's face before.
Is he happy?
Just for me?
For someone like me?
Even as he remained silent, his gaze remained gentle.
Like a bright ray of moonlight.
It guides and illuminates her.
"You don't like it?"
"No...no."
Gwen shook her head and quickly spoke.
However, his voice sounded somewhat hoarse.
Gwen was a little nervous and a little regretful.
I regret saying that.
How could her voice have become so unpleasant?
Viktor will definitely be laughed at by others.
Perhaps noticing her slight embarrassment, Victor leaned down slightly, adopting a gentlemanly demeanor, and slowly took her hand.
The feel of a large, open hand could be felt even through the gloves.
A warm sensation rubbed against her palm, sending a tingling shiver through her.
I held her hand again, but this time the feeling was completely different from before.
I felt a ticklish sensation in my heart, yet also a strange sense of peace.
It's as if someone built a steel castle around me and protected me.
Viktor's voice slowly rang in Gwen's ears:
"Well then, it's time for us to eat."
"Miss Gwen."
The moment the words left his mouth, flames erupted from the restaurant floor and shot straight into the sky.
Above the ground, the released verdant greenery quietly ignited, and the slender tree trunks were also engulfed in flames.
The leaf buds burned, and at the moment they were engulfed by flames, crimson flowers began to burst forth.
Like a fleeting ephemera, it brings beauty to the world for a moment before being consumed by flames, leaving behind an even more exquisite splendor.
The temperature gradually rose, but the surroundings only became somewhat warm.
It's like sitting by a fireplace, quiet and cozy.
Then, the gradually expanding flames began to engulf Gwen and Victor.
The enormous restaurant opened its dome, and a fiery castle gradually took shape within it.
Amidst the stunned gazes of everyone, the sparking plants gradually turned to ashes, drifting in the air.
A burst of flames suddenly roared up and flickered for a while.
The two people in the flames seemed to have turned into ashes after the flames dissipated.
Like a streak of light igniting in the air, it quietly disappears.
After they left, the huge cake on the table seemed to be automatically cut in half by a blue magic dagger.
The cake, with its uniformly sized corners, was divided into countless plates.
They floated slowly in the air, as if lifted up by invisible hands and placed steadily in front of everyone watching.
The nobles looked at the cake laid out before them, and thinking of Victor's wondrous magic, they were somewhat at a loss.
I really didn't expect that.
I just went out for a meal, and I even got a slice of cake.
It seems... Viktor isn't as cold-hearted as others say?
In conclusion, this time...
The news of Victor's extravagant birthday celebration for Gwen will soon spread throughout the entire capital.
......
Gwen landed slowly on the ground and slowly opened her eyes.
What comes into view is an extremely large and luxurious private dining room.
Candlelight filled the upper part of the wall, and the scattered light reached into the sky.
The floor beneath her feet was incredibly soft, and when Gwen looked down, she saw that a red wool blanket had covered the entire room.
