birthday gift
Miss Viscount Field is actually a student of the dean of the Royal Academy of Magic!
Yes, that's right, you heard it right, Miss Viscount Field is a student of the great Carlo Pillar Demigod!
This news spread throughout the empire overnight like a bird with wings.
Some people who heard the news were jealous.
Oh my God, how could such a good thing happen to a little girl? I’m so jealous!
Some people sighed.
As expected, good things always happen to other people's families. Why don't my own children have such good luck?
Some people have doubts.
Is this fake? This is fake news, isn't it? This is fake news spread by Viscountess Field herself, isn't it?
Someone quietly gave up the plan that was in the works.
Let’s confirm whether the news is true or not first. If it is false, haha. If it is true, oh.
Some people are angry.
Why did this little girl win the favor of the Carlo Pillar Demigod? Was it just because she was with the Shiye Meteor Demigod? Pah, fate is so unfair!
Regardless of the reaction or mentality, Elena has become the most eye-catching person in the entire empire at this moment.
Everyone wants to know the specific details, and even more so, whether there is any gossip or inside information.
There was a commotion outside, and at the center of the incident, Elena, was living her ordinary life.
The first birthday party after becoming a prince is coming soon. Although there is still more than a month left, which seems like a lot of time, it is not enough time for a grand birthday party, so preparations must be made immediately.
You need to choose the gemstones and style to customize the flower crown, and then pay.
To customize the jewelry, you need to select the gemstones and style, and then pay.
To customize the dress, you need to choose the fabric and style, and then pay.
The shoes need to be customized to match the dress, and I have to pay for it.
The Viscount's mansion was going to hold a grand banquet, so all the old and worn items inside and outside the house, such as lamps, curtains, tablecloths, and tableware, needed to be replaced.
It was time for the servants' uniforms to be renewed.
The entire castle also needs to be cleaned, including the tower tops, city walls, and stone roads. Everything visible needs to be cleaned, and the damaged walls, stone slabs, and windows need to be replaced.
The town of Fussen also needs to be decorated, with streamers, lanterns, and garlands all ready to go.
There will also be a float parade on the birthday party day. The floats need to be built, and the costumes and items for the parade team also need to be prepared.
The invitations also need to be customized. In order to make them look exquisite, each invitation needs to be clipped with a dried flower bookmark, and the dried flower bookmarks also need to be made.
By the way, as Elena’s good friend, Leonard will definitely dress up for the event. Considering Leonard’s miserly character, Elena will have to prepare a beautiful knight costume for him in advance.
Since the knight uniform has been prepared for Leonard, the wizard robes of Teacher Leopold and the three senior brothers must also be prepared in advance.
The dean will definitely not come, but the senior brothers all have new wizard robes, and Elena certainly cannot ignore the dean. The dean's wizard robe must be made more beautiful and gorgeous.
......
After making a long list, Elena's eyes were filled with money.
Ahhhh, if we follow this list exactly, we're going to go over budget.
Elena's heart ached. She didn't deserve such a luxurious birthday party.
Turning back to the first page of the list, do the flower crown, jewelry, dress, and shoes need to be customized?
There are also knight uniforms and wizard robes. Do these also need to be customized?
No, no, she can do it herself!
Driven by the powerful force of money, Elena was like a craftsman god. She used the game system that had not been used for a long time, selected the available models, drew the pictures herself, selected the materials herself, and made them herself.
Elena drew the design for the formal knight's suit and wizard's robe and gave it to the tailor to make.
The shoes were also simple. Although the game system only had boots and no patterns of formal shoes, Elena had seen countless pairs of high-end shoes since she was a child. It was not difficult to pick a pair from her memory, draw it, and ask the shoemaker to make it.
As for the flower crowns and jewelry, they are not difficult either. Elena herself has reached forging level 100 in the game. Although she is only at level 20 now, her forging skills are still there, so it is no problem for her to make some simple items.
Elena selected the materials and gems, temporarily requisitioned a blacksmith shop, and made the tiara and jewelry in one day. She also successfully enchanted them, which directly increased their value. She didn't waste the materials, nor did she waste her time and magic power. She achieved the goal of being exquisite, practical, and pretentious at the same time.
After Elena personally prepared the list, a large part of the expenses for the birthday party was saved, and the remaining money was more than enough to be used for other things.
Elena breathed a sigh of relief and waited for her birthday with peace of mind.
Time quickly came to a week before the birthday party.
Leonard is back.
He also brought back a body full of blood and fire.
Elena:???
"Did you go to the battlefield?" Elena asked, looking at the blood and burn marks on Leonard's body.
Leonard grinned, and his fierce and tough aura was diluted a lot, revealing his unique optimism and softness.
"No, I had a duel with Lord Glenn, and Lord Glenn gave me a lot of pointers."
Elena said "Oh" and asked again: "Are you coming back temporarily today?"
Leonard shook his head: "No, the lecture tour mission is completed."
He looked at Elena, his eyes seemed to contain the light of the sun: "I'm back."
I'm back, you know what I mean?
I'm back. What did he mean by that? Did he really treat this place as his second home? Elena's heart suddenly felt sour and soft, and she also felt a joy that she didn't dare to experience.
Leonard's gaze was too scorching. Elena smoothed the hair by her ears to cover it up and lowered her head.
Leonard didn't wait for Elena's "Welcome Home", and a faint disappointment surged in his heart.
There was a sudden silence between the two of them.
After being silent for a long time, the two of them felt awkward.
Elena waited for Leonard to speak, but Leonard was as stiff as a pillar and refused to speak. Elena could only stare at the ground.
Leonard thought Elena was angry. Was she angry that he came back too late and was away for too long? Was she angry that he was a person who loved fighting and was away from home? Was she angry that he was unreliable?
Leonard felt a little panicked, and as the silence lasted longer, he became more and more panicked.
What should I do? What should I say? What can I say to make her less angry?
In the end, it was Elena who took the initiative to break the silence between the two: "It's my birthday next week." It's my birthday, shouldn't you show some appreciation?
Her birthday? Next week? Oh no, she was really angry. Angry that I didn't remember her birthday. Leonard was even more panicked.
"I, I, I'm sorry, I didn't remember your birthday, I was wrong, I, what do you like? I'll buy you whatever you like." Leonard apologized incoherently.
Would you like to buy her a gift? Elena blinked and felt a little more comfortable.
Seeing Leonard's flustered expression, Elena wanted to tease him: "You buy whatever I like? Really?"
Leonard nodded vigorously: "Of course."
Elena pondered for a moment and said, "I like gems, shiny gems." Giving gems as a gift is almost like giving money. She didn't know if he would be willing to give it to her.
A dagger with six gemstones inlaid on its scabbard was placed in front of Elena.
Elena:?
Leonard said seriously, "I don't have any gems on me right now, but I can give you this dagger. You can take the gems off and re-inlay them on jewelry. Do you think this is okay?" Leonard asked the last sentence in a low voice, with obvious uneasiness and anxiety.
Elena took the dagger. This dagger was an enchanted item. The six gems on the scabbard were all magic gems. There was also a small gem inlaid on the tip of the handle, but this gem was also a magic gem. This gem, together with the six gems on the scabbard, formed an exquisite magic circle that could greatly enhance the attack power of the dagger.
"This is an enchanted dagger. The gems on it are magical gems. The seven gems form a magic circle. It would be a waste to remove the gems and make jewelry." Elena shook her head and handed the dagger back to Leonard. "I can't accept this. You should keep it."
Leonard pushed the dagger back: "What is given to you is yours. You can use this dagger to protect yourself."
Seeing Elena frowning, Leonard thought that Elena was a mage and would not like weapons, but he really thought this dagger was useful, so he said.
"This dagger is really useful. It's not only lightweight and powerful, but you can also hide it by striking the gem on top, allowing you to stab the enemy unexpectedly. The blade is also laced with poison, which can continuously reduce the enemy's attack power. This was given to me by Lord Glenn. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be willing to give it away."
A gift from Lord Glenn!
Elena turned her wrist and retracted the dagger: "Is it really a gift from Lord Glenn?" Her eyes sparkled.
Leonard: Something seems wrong. Did he do something wrong again?
The scene he saw in the magic market in the royal capital emerged in Leonard's mind. He felt a little sad and the grievance he had felt at that time resurfaced in his heart.
Seeing Leonard was stunned and didn't answer, Elena asked again: "Is it a gift from Lord Glenn?"
Leonard nodded stiffly.
"Great, I'll accept it. I like this gift very much. Thank you." Elena happily put the dagger into the space ring.
Leonard: He regrets it, can he take it back?
