(Uhh...)
I groaned in pain as I read the document my father gave me.
"Father?"
"What's wrong?"
Even though you were still focused on the document, I knew you were listening to me. So I have to say this, otherwise I'll only have nightmares in the future.
"Can't we skip my birthday party?"
Dad's hand that was about to turn over the document immediately stopped as if I said something very important.
In a few days, my 12th birthday celebration will be held. Yes, it seems like almost a year has passed since I regressed.
My birthday celebration party this year had to be held because it not only declared my exit from childhood, but also announced my engagement and my appointment as the next leader.
The Wolfled family's children's birthdays were required at the ages of 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12 and 15. After that it was not required because the Wolfled family would be busier after passing the age of 15. But this time I would reach 12 years old soon.
"Why?"
Father asked in a slightly cold voice.
Naturally he sounded angry because I had just tried to break our family tradition but what the hell, because that day I had to deal with
(Haah....)
"You know, I'm an adult. I don't need that kind of celebration. It's better to focus on Hel's birthday celebration."
"Haa..."
Dad put down the documents and let out a long sigh.
"It's true that your little sister's birthday will be held this year, but that doesn't mean I should only focus on your little sister. This celebration has so many important things to do, you should know."
In a few months, Hel will also have her 8th birthday celebration. So I was hoping that maybe dad would focus on Hel's birthday celebration. After all, in our current state it would be dangerous to invite people who are not part of our independent plan.
But it seems like you decided to do this despite the risk.
"...Yes...but that day... no, it's okay! It seems like there was something wrong with me earlier. Ahaha..."
With that, I was forced to attend my birthday celebration party.
...
"Haaaaaaa...."
I sighed as soon as I entered my room.
"Are you afraid of your own father?"
Meanwhile Muspel started talking to me in a mocking tone.
"No, it's just that dad's words have some truth to them..."
"Then just do both."
"Are you stupid, no, you're stupid."
"What! How dare you call me a fool! You fool!"
"Although my brother's words are stupid but isn't that the only way, master?"
Then Nifl also started talking to me, it seemed like she was thinking the same thing as her elder brother.
"Oi Nifl! What's that supposed to mean!"
"It's true that your stupid older brother's idea makes the most sense but if I do it, I'll have to clear the slave market in just a few hours. That's simply impossible."
Nifl and I then fell to thinking about what we needed to do.
"Oi! Are you guys listening to me?"
"You're noisy, Muspel!"
"Noisy big brother!"
"Ehhh..."
(But if I were to throw a party, would the Royal family come? No, most likely not. Those bastards will definitely skip my current age and come when I'm 15 years old. Just like episode 1.)
Although I'm a little unsure because my future knowledge is not accurate when fighting irregular monsters but considering their personalities, I'm sure they won't come.
(But there will definitely come people who are more troublesome than them...)
"Is your ex-fiancé coming?"
Muspel who was casually reading my mind asked innocently.
"Older brother..."
Even Nifl was amazed by her older brother's insensitivity.
"Yes, if her cunning and evil personality is still there. He'll definitely come to ruin my birthday celebration party by bringing an outsider."
"Her secret boyfriend?"
"Yes, the future head of the family from the territory we hate."
"Waah, sounds troublesome. Hahaha, I don't think I'll be getting involved with that."
(Ah!)
I instantly had an idea to solve my problem, a fairly simple but very bar-bar idea.
"No, that day you will come with me too."
"Eh?"
Muspel looked confused but I wasn't going to go into details because if she heard my explanation it would be noisy.
(But am I forgetting something? I seem to feel like I have to remember someone... Maybe I'm just overthinking.)
....
It's been 4 months since Zend and I parted ways. In a few days, there will be a party to celebrate Zend's 12th birthday.
And as his fiancée, I was invited to attend the event. And in that event, our engagement will also be made official.
"Is Hime-sama okay?"
Yukiko seemed to look at me sadly thinking I had given up and accepted my engagement with Zend.
"Calm down Yukiko, even though we're engaged doesn't mean I'm married. Engagements can also be canceled if there is a good reason."
(Besides we are not yet powerful enough to be able to pay back the compensation from the Wolfled family's favor.)
I was planning to cancel our engagement after our families got our strength and power back.
But since we canceled the engagement, then we have to pay back the compensation and kindness of the Wolfled family who helped us. For that we have to get our power back.
(This time I will reveal your true self, Zend.)
That way the new problem that Zend had forgotten about came to him without Zend realizing it.
...
At the Blouse family residence, the Blouse family's only daughter, Vise Blouse, was seen smiling hideously from the mirror while carrying a letter in a very dark room.
"Hehehehe, Zend is going to have his birthday celebration party this year. Hihihihi..."
That ghastly smile was aimed at the picture of Zend that filled the entire room. Then Vise stabbed a nail into one of the photos.
"How dare you not invite me to your birthday celebration."
Vise then walked out of the room, the bright light slightly hurt Vise's eyes but Vise ignored it and went to his father's room.
"Father..."
Vise entered the head of the Vise family's room without knocking, if the previous head of the Vise family would have scolded his daughter but this time he could not.
The family head of the Vise family, Jordan Blouse. A handsome middle-aged man but currently his eyes are full of eye bags indicating that he hasn't slept lately.
And the reason was his daughter, lately his beautiful and kind daughter had suddenly become scary and creepy.
"What's wrong, my beautiful daughter?"
Jordan who was supposed to reprimand her daughter didn't dare to do so these days.
"I want to come to Zend's birthday celebration party."
"Eh?"
Jordan was very surprised. Originally her daughter's behavior had changed to this since the breakup of Vise and Zend's engagement.
Although after that Jordan tried to comfort Vise by giving her an engagement to her childhood friend, who was from the Wolfled's enemy family.
But strangely their relationship didn't go well either, or did it? Jordan was also confused because the relationship between the two had changed drastically.
As if her daughter was dominating her, even Vise's scent became so alluring that Jordan almost forgot Vise was her daughter.
"But my daughter don't you dislike young master Zend?"
Jordan thought that Vise currently hated Zend Wolfled, but suddenly Vise smiled at Jordan.
Instantly goosebumps all over Jordan's body saw Vise's smile.
"I don't hate Zend, no, I've just realized it lately. I love Zend..."
That day, an enemy Zend never thought would appear on this stage. An enemy that would bring chaos to Zend's birthday celebration party.
