Finally, the day I've been waiting for has arrived. It's Monday, and it's school time, yeayy!!
Well, I'm kidding. I still remember how annoying Mondays are in my world, so sometimes, even I still like to complain about being incoherent on Mondays. I apologize!
Today is the moment I've been waiting for! Of course, because this is a special day for my sweet little sister, which is Lili's birthday. I have prepared the best outfit to attend the party. Of course with the best gifts too. I don't want to embarrass Lili with something meagre.
Well, even though I said excited, I was still sleepy. I once again had to stay up late receiving various reports and information from my subordinates.
Ah yes, if you ask why I have subordinates in Venz when it's my first time here, the answer is that they are employees of the La-Sa Guild business network. They frequently commuted from Venz to the Randall area and vice versa to take care of various company matters.
I wonder if they don't have a backache from going back and forth to these far-flung areas?
Well, leave the back pain aside. After all, if they complain of pain, I have to heal them, right?
As I said earlier, they are employees that I sent to Venz to take care of various administrative matters and find the best human resources in Venz and bring them to the Randall area as much as possible. Besides that, they are also assigned to promote products belonging to the La-Sa Guild network, such as sweets produced by Lily Sweet Home and heavy meals from my Acacia Restaurant. It's a restaurant I built in the Randall area, and it's for people with money.
It was actually because of them that the nobles flocked to Randall's territory to taste our Sweets and food. By the way, those recipes for sweets and heavy meals are recipes I remember from my previous life and have been adapted and developed with the tastes of this world.
In addition, they are also assigned to see the business potential in Venz and its surroundings. Whether we can expand our business to the capital or not, it's a task I give them to judge that.
Of course, one of the employees I assigned to collect information scattered in Venz and its surroundings. But that's just what I did when I got here. However I've been appointing suitable people long ago, so when I'm here, they have to give me any information they can.
There's a lot of information strewn about Venz, ranging from rumours whose accuracy is questionable to completely accurate news. sometimes there are also pieces of information that are incomplete but have accuracy when related to other information
Hmm, should I form a special division in charge of gathering and analyzing various types of information?
Let's put aside the analysis and paperwork piling up. Since today is a special day, I must look cheerful and healthy. There's no way I'd come there with a wrinkled face, tousled hair, and a dark circle around my eyes. Once again, it would embarrass Lili.
And of course, my two twins will also attend Lili's birthday party. They take a day off to attend this party. I suspect that all of my father's children in the academy are the students who take the most time off.
Now they are both in their father's mansion. They were maybe having breakfast. Today father and mother went out and did not have breakfast in the mansion, so the dining room was empty. Usually, at this time, we have breakfast in a separate place.
At least that's what I thought before someone knocked on my room from outside. They were Sasha nee-san and Misha nee-san. I immediately stuffed the pile of papers into my spatial bag.
"I-m, it's us. can we come in?" Sasha asked.
"Just come in, the door is unlocked." the two of them finally entered my room carrying a tray containing three plates of food. Don't forget there are also three glasses of milk.
"Hey are we going to have breakfast together?" My two brothers nodded. Of course, I gladly accepted this offer. I then prepared a table and chairs for breakfast in the room.
While having breakfast, Sasha nee-san started a conversation, "hey Is, today you look happy. is it because of Lili's birthday?" from the tone of her voice, it seems like Sasha nee-san is being a little sulky.
"Sasha's right. you seem brighter than usual. I wonder if you would be like this too if it was our birthdays."
I was hearing this coming out of the mouths of my two brothers, of course, a bit confused about how to respond to them. I finally stroked their heads and said, "Honestly, I'm in a good mood today. Because, after all, Lili is a special person to me. But take it easy. Your position in my heart is not even shifted. I'm so happy that we can finally meet again."
hearing my answer that frankly, their faces immediately reddened. "hmph, you have such a sweet mouth." Sasha muttered under her breath.
ahhhh, it's cute! I haven't enjoyed their expressions like this in a long time. I wish I could see this over and over.
Because the atmosphere was finally cheerful, we chatted freely. They were mostly filled with stories of their time at the academy. Based on their story, I know they are placed in the best class. Well, it's only natural because their talent is extraordinary after all. I wouldn't be surprised even if they were the best students of their generation.
They also often received love confessions from nobles but let alone read, they usually immediately burned the letter with their magic. Oh, poor you guys. Well, if you dare touch my brother, I'm sure you'll regret it for the rest of your life!
Finally, we finished eating. The three of us decided to get ready for Lili-chan's birthday party. Coincidentally they were both close to him. Like living in the capital made them even more intimate with Lili. Fine.
****
Several people gathered in a slum area of the capital. Their clothes looked like ordinary people. But they are knights who have extraordinary abilities in fighting. They get together and talk about something.
"All preparations have been completed. Tonight's plan must not fail." said one of them. Maybe he is the leader of this group. The others nodded.
"Let's avenge us!!"
****
The evening finally arrived. Issac and his family attended Lilianne's birthday party. The queue of horse-drawn carriages has been snaking since a few hours ago. It was only natural since it was the birthday of a duke's daughter. as usual, this will also be an arena for the prestige of the nobles.
After a few minutes of waiting in line, their carriage finally entered the courtyard of Duke Balzaac's mansion. They got off the horse-drawn carriage. The Randall family's appearance was quite conspicuous. Especially their three children. Sasha is wearing a beautiful red-black dress. There is a beautiful bird embroidery on her dress. It perfectly matched her reddish-blonde hair. Her hairstyle has also changed—usually a ponytail, but this time in a braid to the back.
Misha is no less beautiful. Her crystal blue hairstyle hasn't changed much because it's short, but her appearance still fascinates the audience. her dress follows her hairstyle. Fits perfectly with her serene charm.
Isaac is no less prominent. His appearance is simple. He was wearing the same outfit on his birthday. Only this time, there is a gold flower embroidery on the collar. Simple but perfectly matched his dignified aura despite his twelve years of age.
The audience naturally gave them away. After all, Marquis Randall is a noble respected by other nobles. Even his opponents were afraid of him.
It wasn't long before the party finally started after Duke Balzaac's speech. Lilianne, who had seen Issac's presence, didn't want to greet the other nobles. Instead, she immediately ran towards Isaac while shouting.
"Iss, you finally came". Issac immediately caught Lilianne, who was running towards him.
"Ssshhh, hey, this is embarrassing. We're at the year's party." Lilianne shook her head calmly
"Let, the important thing is that I met Is. It's okay to be a little embarrassed." hearing this, of course, Isaac was exasperated. While pinching Lilianne, Issac's cheek said he would not embarrass Lilianne.
"Lillianne let's go to where my sisters are. They also want to congratulate you." they ended up walking together to where Misha and Sasha were.
It seems the twins are talking to someone. It was only when Isaac approached them that he saw who it was. He turned out to be a woman.
"Ara, this must be the Isaac my two friends often talk about." the woman who had been chatting with her brother earlier started a conversation with Issac.
"Ah right, Is, introduce she is the first princess of the Heinz kingdom, Aurell D Heinz." hearing that the one speaking to him was a princess, he changed his attitude slightly.
"I beg your pardon for my impudence. Introduce me, Issac Randall. The second child of the second wife of Marquis Randall. It is an honour for me to speak directly with you, " Issac bowed his head.
"Introduce yourself too. My name is Aurelia D Heinz, the first princess of the Heinz kingdom. Don't be so rigid because I'm your sister's second friend, after all. Ah, I have heard of your talent from them. I want to fight with you!" hearing that, the corner of Issac's mouth twitched. Is this beautiful princess a muscle brain?
even so, he tried to keep his attitude. "You judge me too highly, princess. but if the opportunity arises, I will gladly accept your offer."
"Fufu, that's fine. I hope that opportunity will come ufufufu," said Aurellia.
"Haha, of course, so am I." Sasha, Misha, and Lilianne had sullen faces. How can they become friends instantly?!
Issac himself felt a nostalgic feeling he could not comprehend for the fourth time. Though it was clear, they had never met at all.
Their familiar atmosphere was suddenly interrupted by a group of nobles who approached them. Maybe another noble's son is looking for attention.
"Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, I am Alex Clifford, the first son and heir to the title of Earl Clifford in the future. Would you like to have a drink with us?" unfortunately, the response that came from the women was very cold. Even he and his entourage were expelled openly.
"Tch that slut, I will definitely get their hearts. And for that man..." Alex looked at Issac from a distance with hatred. "I will definitely destroy it!!"
Of course, Issac, who was aware of that gaze, didn't care about it at all.
Finally, the prize distribution event is about to begin. Finally, the party will be over.
or at least that's what the audience thought when suddenly
