Priest Elis shook his head slowly in disapproval.
"Ah! I just remembered something. Have you prepared a present?"
"Present? What present???" asked Arielle confused.
"A present for His Majesty King Ronan. Next week there will be a party to celebrate His Majesty the King's birthday."
Arielle stood up surprised. "Birthday!?" she asked in disbelief.
Priest Elis nodded quickly in surprise. Judging from Arielle's confused expression, it seemed that the girl had just heard the news about the king's birthday.
"You… you don't know?"
Arielle shook her head wearily. Priest Elis asked Arielle to sit back down so as not to panic.
"It's okay, princess. You don't need to panic. The king's birthday party is just a mere formality. His Majesty the king never actually joined his own birthday party. He spends most of his time with the people closest to him. The party will only be filled by nobles who want to give presents. Just that…"
