Next week, on Retta's birthday.
In the middle of the party that her father was holding.
Emerald jewellery and trinkets along with dolls and small daggers fit for children her age embedded with topaz which goes well with her green eyes were delivered in a carriage bearing the Esselgarde insignia.
They also received gifts congratulating the birth of a newborn son.
They were happy but there was one thing that her father did not understand.
" I do not remember telling the Young Lord when and where I'll be holding the party. How the hell did he find out?"
Shadow who got the Intel: " Young man, you should not underestimate our household's Intel network..."
He mumbled to himself proudly.
