After dinner, I headed right to my room.
I tried to get ready to go to a poor village but I couldn't think of anything.
I'm just gonna go check on you, so you don't need anything.
"Ali! Duke's here to see you."
Yes? What did you just say?
Albert, I heard your brother, but I'm sure it's empty ears, right?
"Ari ~!"
I don't think it's empty ears. I left the room and headed to the guest room.
What the hell is going on with Master Duke coming to see me? I haven't even spoken to her...
Sure, Alicia is mellow as Dear Duke in the game, but I'm not mellow because I know how it ends right now.
I have no idea why you're here to see me.
When I entered the guest room, there was Brother Albert and Lady Duke.
I bowed and greeted lightly.
"They say Duke wants to give Ali something."
That's what your brother Albert said before I asked him about the case.
As I was Kyoton, Master Duke approached me with a gentle look.
I knew this guy was dangerous. Your heart will pop out if you come near me with a face like that.
I can see my pulse is rising.
"A little late, but happy birthday"
That's what Master Duke gave me the little box.
I was unintentionally hardened by unexpected events. Because I never thought Master Duke would give me a birthday present.
'Cause I never gave Alicia a gift in a game.
I thought you might care about me for a moment, but if you think about it, me and Master Duke are five years apart. I wonder if I'm a sister to Master Duke.
But we haven't really had much conversation, so I'm not sure what it means to get a present.
"Thank you."
That's what I said and received the little box.
"May I look inside?
"Oh."
I gently opened the box because Master Duke gave me permission.
Too much shock has caused me to keep the box closed.
What's that..., my mistake?
"Didn't you like it?
"Yes, no. That this..."
I denied the contents and checked with Master Duke.
"Necklace, though"
"No, you know, the gem in the middle..."
"Oh, it's a diamond"
I knew you did, didn't I?
Not too expensive to give to an eight-year-old girl, no matter how much the king's son?
"Ali, if you don't hate Duke, take it."
That's what Brother Albert said when he perceived my expression.
I don't hate it, I rather like it.
I bowed deeply and thanked him.
A bad girl wouldn't be able to wolf about expensive gems, but she can wolf about this on boulders.
"I've done it for you, and this is it for today"
That's what Master Duke said and left the room.
Are you really just here to give me a gift......
Albert, don't you want to talk to your brother or something?
I forgot to drop you off by surprise too much.
I opened the box again and checked inside. I knew it was a diamond.
The value of diamonds in this country is not comparable to the world in previous lives, is it?
I can't believe I made that a gift... And to an eight-year-old girl......
I still couldn't handle what was happening in front of me.
A close look at the shining diamonds was thin and blue.
