Ange. Otou-samas voice was gentle. This was rare. Prince Lambert and Nico put their smiles back onto their faces and stood up.

Oh, Your Highnesses, you two are here.

The person named Ange looked gentle and pleasant, and she laughed as if she was having fun. Then, she bent her knees and curtsied beautifully. This was an adults greeting. It was something that I wasnt taught as an Albans because there were no women around. Ill remember it. The lady had light brown hair that looked like tea with lots of milk, and her jade eyes looked like green tea with a hint of milk.

Prince Nicholas, its been a long time.

Hmm. Angelique-dono. I havent seen you since my birthday.

Can Nico really remember an adult who he met six months ago? I was impressed. But well, I still remember the face of the guy who kidnapped me.

Thank you for remembering. Please come to my daughters birthday as well.

She stroked his head gently as if he was a good boy. I pricked my ears up when I heard she had a daughter. I might be able to make some girl friends.

I dont know about that. Im not friends with the Remington girl, Nico said bluntly. Hes a smart child, but he wasnt considerate. The adults froze. This kid, honestly.

You are younger than my daughters. Then, please become friends with them if its alright with you. Ill introduce them to you again. This is my oldest daughter, Felicia. Shes the Remington heir.

What? I cant believe her daughter was right next to her. Felicia was a slender girl who looked like Ange. She curtsied beautifully like her mother. She seemed to be the same age as Gill, or older.

This is my youngest, Christine.

Christine had the same milk-tea coloured hair like her mother, but her eyes were the same milk-tea colour. It was really rare. She was a little bigger than Nico but smaller than Amy. So, she should be around five? The girl bent her knees a little awkwardly.

Hmm. Ive already met them before, so you dont need to introduce them again. Anyway

Nico looked at me. I was enjoying the scene as a spectacle, so I panicked when their attention was drawn to me.

Today is Leis birthday. You should congratulate her first.

A strange aura floated through the place. Nico had clearly pointed out what the adults were thinking but dared not say. I didnt know how to pacify the situation either, so I behaved cutely and left it to the adults.

Well, its true. Dear me.

Ange laughed again, then bent down and turned towards me. Her jade eyes were looking at me.

You have the same violet eyes as Dean.

It was as if she was saying that was all I was worth.

How cute. Im Angelique Remington. This is my heir, Felicia, and this is Christine. Please get along well with them, she introduced and pushed her two daughters in front of me. I have to greet them properly too.

Im Leiwa Awbansh. Thanw you for coming thoday.

Then, I quickly bent my knees. This should look better than before. Near me, Hans nodded as if I did a good job, but I dont need his approval.

Oh, Im Felicia. Happy birthday. Its nice to meet you, the older sister smiled and said.

Fewicia. Im Lei.

Fufufu.

She rubbed my head. However, the younger sister glared at me with her arms folded. Isnt she so proud, being able to fold her arms properly? If shes not going to say anything, then Ill say something.

Chrishthine.

Wait! Its Christine!

Thats what I said, wasnt it?

Chrishthine.

Its Ch-ri-st-ine!

She cares about the details. Then

Chrish.

Thats too short!

Im Lei.

Are you listening to me?

Otou-syama, juice.

Hey!

If shes not going to say happy birthday to me, then I dont need to pay attention to her.

Chris, youre the one whos not saying happy birthday to her.

But, Nee-sama

No buts. Now, say it.

Felicia told Christine off, and Christine looked at me.

Happy birthday.

Chrishthine.

Fine! You can call me Chris. It sounds better.

I won and smiled.

Chrish, Im Lei.

Chris reluctantly looked at me and turned a bit away before saying, Lei.

Ai!

Were friends now.

Youre as pushy as ever, Ange.

Oh my, Julia. You came too?

A new person approached. She was a beautiful person with brown eyes and wavy brown hair.

Dean, thanks for inviting me. And, oh my, youre Leila, arent you?! Youre just like Ive heard you are. You look like Claire.

Okaa-sama, you were here? I was looking for you.

Gill quickly came this way.

I wanted to say hello together.

Im sorry.

This person also laughs pleasantly. Then, she looked at me and smiled.

Im Julia, Gills mother. Ive always wanted to meet you but didnt get the chance. Im sorry.

She hesitated a little before reaching out to me.

Youre not a baby anymore, so I wonder if you dont like it.

Thats not true. I reached out to her, and she gently lifted me up.

Oh my, girls are soft. Gill wouldnt be able to stay still.

She laughed while holding me, and gently swayed me. Thats right, this is a mother. I relaxed and put my face near her neck.

Juwia-obasyama1).

Oh my. Thats right. Lei.

Ai.

You should say that to Ange too.

I looked at Remington. The sides of her lips twitched.

Ange-obasyama.

Leila, people usually call me Ange-sama.

Sometimes, people dont want to be called Oba-sama. Then, Ill call you what you want to be called. When I tried to correct this.

Youre despicable, Ange. Youre older than me. Honestly, and you still dont want to be called Oba-sama? If Felicia gets married, then you would be an obaa-sama, not an oba-sama.

Obaa-sama?! Ange muttered in shock. Mm, Julia-obasama is so strong.

You guys get along like always. Youre talking about such nice things. Otou-sama interrupted as if he was impressed. Both Julia-obasama and Ange-obasamas lips were warped, but he didnt notice.
