"Reason? Let me guess, did you see another girl's legs before you returned to Tobesk?"

Rhesia smiled at Xia De in the mirror, but her tone was not dissatisfied:

"Don't worry, you were very good last night; in fact, such a fiery night is exactly what I was looking forward to."

Saying this, she asked her sister:

"Ajelina, how does my complexion look?"

The little princess stood behind Rhesia with a comb, looked at her from the mirror, and said very honestly:

"Very good, one could even say radiant. I think even without makeup, you are prettier than any young girl in this palace."

Although it was the truth, the phrasing "young girl" was something she said on purpose, to imply that her sister was a bit old.

After Rhesia put on her earrings with satisfaction, she leaned close to the mirror and touched her cheeks:

"Actually, my complexion has always been good, especially after Xia De shared some small tips from the 【Ageless Secret Art】. I thought that since I only slept for an hour, I would..."

"Ahem!"

Ajelina coughed accidentally, and Rhesia glanced at her from the mirror, revealing a subtle smile. Looking at Xia De again, he was holding Mia, constantly throwing her onto the bed, and the cat was also very happy bouncing on the bed.

"What are you doing?"

She asked while letting Ajelina braid her hair.

"Look."

Xia De held Mia up, with her back to the mattress. When he let go, when the cat landed on the bed, it actually flipped 180 degrees, with four little paws touching the bed surface.

"I discovered that no matter how a cat falls, it always lands on its feet. So I was thinking, if I had two Mias, and tied them back-to-back, and then threw them from a high place, what would happen?"

He said with a smile, and the cat clawed at his hand, wanting Xia De to throw it again:

"However, there probably won't be a second cat in the world as smart and cute as Mia."

Rhesia shook her head at Xia De's childish behavior, while the little princess said with a smile:

"Two cats spinning in mid-air before landing, and when the speed reaches a certain limit, they become a perpetual motion wheel?"

All three laughed, and Rhesia still looked at the two people behind her from the mirror:

"Sunday is Ajelina's birthday banquet, and I originally wanted to give Xia De to her as a birthday present... Oh! Ajelina, if you dare to pull out my hair, I will definitely let you know what a sister's majesty is!"

She threatened with some dissatisfaction, and Ajelina hurriedly apologized, continuing to tidy her hair with a red face.

Xia De wanted to object, but Rhesia waved her hand:

"I know you definitely wouldn't agree, so forget it. But that's fine too; judging from Xia De's performance last night, I'm still a bit reluctant to share him with Ajelina. Ajelina, I know your thoughts, but this is Xia De not agreeing, and I can't force him; after all, I am his lover, not him being my lover..."

She repaired her eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil in front of the mirror, very satisfied with her good complexion today:

"I originally thought about playing with Xia De during the birthday banquet, letting him wear a blindfold and play some exciting games, and then calling you in halfway through."

Ajelina's face was as red as if it were dripping blood, which was very similar to Miss Lathers last night. But Xia De knew that Rhesia was teasing her sister on purpose; a Ringed Ringed Shushi's perception didn't just rely on eyes, and "the other me" was the Ringed Ringed Shushi's strongest means of perception.

"That must be very interesting, but you see, it's Xia De who doesn't agree, not me opposing it."

She looked at Ajelina behind her in the mirror, and the sixteen-year-old girl said "Hmm~", so Rhesia made a summary:

"So, let me train Xia De a bit more, and in the future, you can directly enjoy that warmth, strength..."

"Rhesia!"

Xia De really couldn't listen anymore.

"Shy now? You were very bold last night, my knight."

Rhesia put down the eyebrow pencil and carefully selected the lipstick

shade. The lipstick of this era was still very different from the memories of the Outlander, and even the cosmetics of this era generally contained lead powder. But fortunately, the existence of Ringed Ringed Shushi had promoted the development of chemistry to a certain extent, so people had gradually realized what was toxic.

"Galina will probably return to Tobesk on Friday or Saturday; she really handles things quickly. She prepared a pair of earrings for Ajelina that the Queen of the previous generation, our great-grandmother, once wore; I prepared a small manor in the south of the kingdom and an affiliated farm for Ajelina as a seventeenth birthday gift. Xia De, what did you prepare? If you haven't prepared it, according to what we discussed before, I'll help you prepare one. Or, do you want to hear the opinion of that writer lady?"

She talked about the birthday gift in front of Ajelina. Fortunately, Ajelina didn't care; her thoughts were still on the "game" Rhesia described just now.

"I didn't have any ideas originally, but today is Monday, so I have an idea."

Xia De said while petting the cat, and Mia was a bit dissatisfied that Xia De wasn't playing games with her anymore.

Rhesia understood after just thinking about it:

"Are you talking about that gift box? But does Ajelina count as a child?"

"A child is not just calculated by age."

Xia De added, and besides, as long as it wasn't Sunday, the age of 16 actually counted as meeting the requirements.

Rhesia then looked at her sister through the mirror:

"The personality is indeed not steady, and the love for romance and fantasy indeed doesn't count as mature, as for the figure..."

She didn't comment, just smiled and looked away, but this instead made Ajelina feel the greatest insult so far, but she couldn't refute it.

After all, although they were sisters of the same father and mother, not only was there a big height difference, but the difference in figure was also obvious. Ajelina was about to turn seventeen, and there was no possibility of continuing to grow.

"Alright, Xia De, I admit you're right, she meets the requirements. However, are you sure you want to let Ajelina come into contact with that Sage-level relic? She is an ordinary person after all."

"Her inspiration has already reached the edge of being very dangerous, as you yourself said. I think she will probably complete her awakening in the next few years, and by then, whether she wants to go to the Zalas Academy of Sorcery like you, or join the door of a witch, she will eventually come into contact with these things."

【The God's Gift Box】 had three positive characteristics, namely "Relic Combination," "Relic Containment," and "Weekly Gift." The first two were useless to Ajelina, so Xia De wanted to give this week's "Weekly Gift" opportunity to Ajelina.

He simply explained the characteristics of the relic to the little princess—informing an ordinary person of the characteristics of a divine creation was actually a serious violation. Sure enough, just as Xia De thought, even after fully knowing the characteristics of a divine creation, Ajelina only had a nosebleed.

So taking advantage of the fact that breakfast at Yodel Palace hadn't arrived yet, the two princesses followed Xia De and Mia to No. 6 St. Deran Square. After Xia De carried 【The God's Gift Box】 to the second-floor living room, Ajelina watched him open the lid of the ancient box nervously.

What do you guess Ajelina will get?

Xia De asked Rhesia, and Rhesia shook her head indifferently:

"As long as she doesn't pull out your 【Pink Book】, I won't be surprised by whatever she gets."

"Mr. Hamilton, do I need to prepare anything?"

The little princess asked nervously.

Xia De shook his head:

"This box will give you a gift according to your wishes, just relax."

"According to my wishes..."

She reached her hand into the box, and immediately touched an item that didn't belong to the box itself. After judging the shape roughly, she took it out with some confusion.

The three of them and the cat looked over together. "Meow~"

Seeing it wasn't food, Mia immediately lost interest.

"Ordinary item?"

Seeing no traces of elements, Xia De set his mind at ease.

"Wang Guan?"

The gorgeous golden crown surprised Ajelina very much.

"Wait, why does this look so familiar?"

Rhesia frowned slightly, then saw at a glance the newspaper Xia De had brought with him when he entered the door just now. The front page of the newspaper was a photo of His Majesty the King:

"This is Father's crown! The symbol of the supreme glory of the Cavendish family!"

Rhesia stood up at once, and Ajelina shivered as if she had been frightened:

"I don't know why either..."

"Don't play these tricks on me, I'm not blaming you."

She said, sitting back down, and asked her sister very seriously:

"Ajelina Cavendish, tell me, do you want to become the Queen of Delarion?"

Ajelina was nervous and stuttered, not knowing what to say. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Xia De took the initiative to answer:

"Even adding the four banknote printing plates in the basement, none of the items I have ever obtained are more valuable than this. It seems that the gods are also willing to bless Ajelina's birthday."

Rhesia glanced at him, took the crown, fiddled with it slightly, and signaled for Xia De to lower his head.

"No, I won't wear this kind of thing; it's too heavy."

Xia De objected, so Rhesia looked at Ajelina again, and the little princess also shook her head:

"Sister, don't give it to me."

At least this sentence was very honest.

So the heavy crown was placed on the sofa, and then little Mia was placed inside the huge crown. The cat was very dissatisfied because the metal crown was very hard and cold.

"What is the task?"

Xia De asked again, and Ajelina thought for a moment:

"Express the most sincere gratitude to at least three people who gave me birthday gifts."

She got her sister's consent with her eyes, leaned over, and kissed Xia De's cheek:

"Thank you, Mr. Hamilton, I like this gift very much. However, can you keep it for me for the time being? This is very precious."

Xia De originally wanted to turn it into a toy, string it with a rope, and let Ajelina wear it as a necklace or hair accessory. But considering that even if it turned into a toy, it might be lost, and this thing might be useful in the future, he agreed:

"But this is a gift I gave you; what does it count as if you leave it with me? I'll prepare another gift for you, and you will definitely be satisfied."
