Of course Claude has this thing where he acts differently than he is with words that he acts like 'tsk, you don't have these, right? I have a lot and I picked this up on the way so you have it if you want.' but still! How surprising is this alone?

"Don't have what you want?"

Eh? But what's this reaction?

Claude frowned at my words. This is a face he makes when he doesn't like something. P-perhaps you became sick of choosing presents for me now.... So you want me to say specifically....

"Actually I am happy just spending time with dad like this. Hehe."

Or did he just say it without any meaning to it? Well that is why I said what I said.

But Claude's face wouldn't stop frowning. Cough. Doesn't seem to be it.

"...Keep eating."

Claude would just tell me to continue eating.

Eh. What? What? Why is he acting like this? I was just thinking this answer would help a lot since we both will be busy for the debutante this year on my birthday!

I kept on glimpsing at Claude as I didn't know why he was like this.

***

"Didn't his majesty ask for which present princess wants?"

Felix asked on our way back to Emerald palace. It was Felix who had a job of being my bodyguard for 6 years and I already graduated from the generation where he was a delivery man. I then suddenly widened my eyes walking with Felix.

Ah ha. This oppa probably knows why!

"Did princess tell his majesty what she wants?"

"Hmm. I just said its fine whatever dad gives me."

"Even though, isn't there something specific princess wants?"

From that words, I frowned and considered.

Let's see. The treasures Claude sent me to my palace is over limits in the palace that it is impossible to clear them to somewhere else anymore.

And I already have 3 keys to the treasure rooms Claude had tossed to me.

Then a library last year, And the year before, he made me a pond big as a lake.

4 rose gardens were already made from my comment that the roses in the garden were beautiful that I like Emerald palace.

And he sent me tens of angel statues (Female ones) when I said the statues (Male ones) in Gannet palace were to my liking.

I already have too much clothes and accessories that now they don't fit in my drawer anymore.

"Heh. I don't know."

Wow, my gosh! Now I can make these statements! Wahh. The statements that I have too much that I don't know if there are anything more I needed with my own mouth! WAHHH.

Felix made a face full of shame when I was shouting inside. He cleared his throat twice before changing the subject.

"Umm, princess's debutante isn't far. So what will princess do for the first dance at the debutante."

The first dance.

Normally n.o.bles already had fiancee since when they were young that it was normal to dance with them.

But if not they say her brother, cousin, or other member of her family dances with her.

Now that I see there aren't much cases where they have their first dane with their dad. Hmm.

But a first dance with Claude. Doesn't something get drawn in your head?

"How about me dancing with Felix?"

From my answer I spat out without much thinking, Felix coughed. Felix has good n.o.ble position as a duke's son, he has handsome face, also he is not married. What a perfect fit?

What a great thing thinking the original novel where Atanasia had no escort or a partner for the first dance?

"M-Me?"

"Uhh, if you don't want to...."

"No, I'm grateful! I mean, but how dare I."

But Felix's face turned pale as he panicked. I felt weird because it was my first time seeing he panicking this much.

"Hmm. Wouldn't there be a better partner other than me?"

I felt more weird at Felix's words.

Mmm. I thought Felix would definitely accept it happily but why is he trying to avoid it? I feel betrayed....

"I'll think of it more since there are few months left."

I said and walked to Emerald palace with my cheeks pouted.

***

"Blackie! I'm back!"

"Kkyuu!"

Tst tst. Our pretty Blackie. Cute today as well!

Blackie who was playing on the gra.s.s in Emerald palace ran and welcomed me.

Blackie grew big that I would loose balance if he jumped on me. Of course though, our Blackie is still too cute in a bigger size!

I sat on the gra.s.s and enjoyed my time. Gasp, hey Blackie, wait! I-I'll fall!

Then Hanna came and shook her head smiling. She seemed to have come to give Blackie his food.

"Princess, you'll be covered in gra.s.s."

"What happens when gra.s.s sticks on me? Ah!"

"?"

Blackie then ran to Hanna in a great speed. Ahh, Blackie, you! Do you like choco more than me? Do you?! You you you, look at him waving his tail!

"Blackie, eating well today as well."

Hanna seemed to be happy seeing Blackie eat. She was taking care of Blackie almost all alone ever since she came to Emerald palace.

I knew it when I lived in Ruby palace but Hanna was a very good worker that she was taking care of Blackie too well. There weren't any maid unnies who wanted to take care of Blackie because they were scared at Blackie who grew big but this was great.

Mmm. I knew it from before when she gave me knowing Lilly is scary when mad but she really has guts.

Seth unnie also didn't seemed scared of Blackie but didn't seem to like animals. Kuckkk. Seth unnie is only warm to me!

But really other unnies. Our Blackie is cute. Sob. He's just got big and you hate him now. But Hanna seemed to like Blackie.

"Did Hanna eat dinner?"

"Not yet. We are waiting for sir Robain to eat with all of us so Ms Lillian and the others are waiting."

Kyaa. It's Emerald palace of course!

"Then you should be hungry. Now now, Hanna and Felix go and eat. Lilly and Seth are waiting."

More strength when you eat! Mmm!

I pushed the 2 in, smiling.

"Blackie, do you like choco better or me?"

Crunch crunch.

"Huh? You like me more than choco? Are you asking me of why am I asking such an obvious question?"

Crunch cruncg. Heg heg.

I played with Blackie confirming no one was looking. However I was the one playing with him as Blackie was just eating his food.

C-can't you at least react a little? Kuckkk. I forgive you just because you are cute.

I reached my hand at him who finished eating.

"Ah!"

But then I felt something tingle in my fingers. Ah, that surprised me. Was it electric shock? Blackie should really shave.

"Blackie, can I shave you?"

"Grrr! Grr!"

"Ah. Okay, okay."

No shaving then! Ack! I fell again!

Afterwards, I went back in.

***

"Princess, then rest well."

"Lilly also sleep well."

I said to Lilly who was leaving my room.

Me who was now alone thought what I could do until I went to bed.

I felt refreshed after taking a bath. It would have been nice if I slept now but my hair weren't fully dried so I decided to wait a bit more.

And this was the time Lucas usually came.

I almost had a heart attack when he appeared out of nowhere in my room.

He always appeared everywhere which surprised me!

But getting used to these stuffs too, I'm amazed at how talented humans are. Hahaha.

"What to do until I sleep."

But he might not come today. He left at the dance room undoing my laces. What did I do wrong that he left throwing my shoe on the floor?

I was going to read until I went to bed. I am definitely not waiting for that idiot!

And how ling has it been. I heard a sound above my head.

"What are you doing?"

"Can't you see? Stre... tching. Yeah, stretching."

Ayy, you've come! I thought you weren't!

I lifted my head and got up. It was the day when I didn't wanted to read books that I was stretching on the carpet.

"Hahh!"

Oww, my legs. It's my limit now.

Lucas seemed to be in a good moon aside from in the dance a.s.s. Yeah. People should have some understandings but he is lacking it. Always conplaining.

The black idiot lied down on the sofa without my permission.

He was now in more mature appearance.

Bow I remember Claude saying if he gets any more older, Claude won't let him enter Emerald palace. I was like 'eh'.

"You, you played with Blackie today too now didn't you?"

Gasp. How do you know everything!

I became surprised at Lucas's words.
