“Ange . ” Otou-sama’s voice was gentle . This was rare . Prince Lambert and Nico put their smiles back onto their faces and stood up .
“Oh, Your Highnesses, you two are here . ”
The person named Ange looked gentle and pleasant, and she laughed as if she was having fun . Then, she bent her knees and curtsied beautifully . This was an adult’s greeting . It was something that I wasn’t taught as an Albans because there were no women around . I’ll remember it . The lady had light brown hair that looked like tea with lots of milk, and her jade eyes looked like green tea with a hint of milk .
“Prince Nicholas, it’s been a long time . ”
“Hmm . Angelique-dono . I haven’t seen you since my birthday . ”
Can Nico really remember an adult who he met six months ago? I was impressed . But well, I still remember the face of the guy who kidnapped me .
“Thank you for remembering . Please come to my daughter’s birthday as well . ”
She stroked his head gently as if he was a good boy . I pricked my ears up when I heard she had a daughter . I might be able to make some girl friends .
If you’re reading this anywhere other than whimsicalstargazers . net, then you are reading stolen work .
“I don’t know about that . I’m not friends with the Remington girl,” Nico said bluntly . He’s a smart child, but he wasn’t considerate . The adults froze . This kid, honestly .
“You are younger than my daughters . Then, please become friends with them if it’s alright with you . I’ll introduce them to you again . This is my oldest daughter, Felicia . She’s the Remington heir . ”
What? I can’t believe her daughter was right next to her . Felicia was a slender girl who looked like Ange . She curtsied beautifully like her mother . She seemed to be the same age as Gill, or older .
“This is my youngest, Christine . ”
Christine had the same milk-tea coloured hair like her mother, but her eyes were the same milk-tea colour . It was really rare . She was a little bigger than Nico but smaller than Amy . So, she should be around five? The girl bent her knees a little awkwardly .
“Hmm . I’ve already met them before, so you don’t need to introduce them again . Anyway…”

Nico looked at me . I was enjoying the scene as a spectacle, so I panicked when their attention was drawn to me .
“Today is Lei’s birthday . You should congratulate her first . ”
A strange aura floated through the place . Nico had clearly pointed out what the adults were thinking but dared not say . I didn’t know how to pacify the situation either, so I behaved cutely and left it to the adults .
“Well, it’s true . Dear me . ”
Ange laughed again, then bent down and turned towards me . Her jade eyes were looking at me .
“You have the same violet eyes as Dean . ”
It was as if she was saying that was all I was worth .
“How cute . I’m Angelique Remington . This is my heir, Felicia, and this is Christine . Please get along well with them,” she introduced and pushed her two daughters in front of me . I have to greet them properly too .
“I’m Leiwa Awbansh . Thanw you for coming thoday . ”
Then, I quickly bent my knees . This should look better than before . Near me, Hans nodded as if I did a good job, but I don’t need his approval .
“Oh, I’m Felicia . Happy birthday . It’s nice to meet you,” the older sister smiled and said .
“Fewicia . I’m Lei . ”
“Fufufu . ”
She rubbed my head . However, the younger sister glared at me with her arms folded . Isn’t she so proud, being able to fold her arms properly? If she’s not going to say anything, then I’ll say something .
“Chrishthine . ”
“Wait! It’s Christine!”
That’s what I said, wasn’t it?

“Chrishthine . ”
“It’s Ch-ri-st-ine!”
She cares about the details . Then…
“Chrish . ”
“That’s too short!”
“I’m Lei . ”
“Are you listening to me?”
“Otou-syama, juice . ”
“Hey!”
If she’s not going to say happy birthday to me, then I don’t need to pay attention to her .
“Chris, you’re the one who’s not saying happy birthday to her . ”
“But, Nee-sama…”
“No buts . Now, say it . ”
Felicia told Christine off, and Christine looked at me .
“Happy birthday . ”
“Chrishthine . ”
“Fine! You can call me Chris . It sounds better . ”

I won and smiled .
“Chrish, I’m Lei . ”
Chris reluctantly looked at me and turned a bit away before saying, “… Lei . ”
“Ai!”
We’re friends now .
“You’re as pushy as ever, Ange . ”
“Oh my, Julia . You came too?”
A new person approached . She was a beautiful person with brown eyes and wavy brown hair .
“Dean, thanks for inviting me . And, oh my, you’re Leila, aren’t you?! You’re just like I’ve heard you are . You look like Claire . ”
“Okasama, you were here? I was looking for you . ”
Gill quickly came this way .
“I wanted to say hello together . ”
“I’m sorry . ”
This person also laughs pleasantly . Then, she looked at me and smiled .
“I’m Julia, Gill’s mother . I’ve always wanted to meet you but didn’t get the chance . I’m sorry . ”
She hesitated a little before reaching out to me .
“You’re not a baby anymore, so I wonder if you don’t like it . ”
That’s not true . I reached out to her, and she gently lifted me up .
“Oh my, girls are soft . Gill wouldn’t be able to stay still . ”
She laughed while holding me, and gently swayed me . That’s right, this is a mother . I relaxed and put my face near her neck .
“Juwiobasyama1) . ”
“Oh my . That’s right . Lei . ”
“Ai . ”
“You should say that to Ange too . ”
I looked at Remington . The sides of her lips twitched .
“Ange-obasyama . ”
“Leila, people usually call me Ange-sama . ”
Sometimes, people don’t want to be called Obsama . Then, I’ll call you what you want to be called . When I tried to correct this .
“You’re despicable, Ange . You’re older than me . Honestly, and you still don’t want to be called Obsama? If Felicia gets married, then you would be an obasama, not an obsama . ”
“Obasama?!” Ange muttered in shock . Mm, Juliobasama is so strong .
“You guys get along like always . You’re talking about such nice things . ” Otou-sama interrupted as if he was impressed . Both Juliobasama and Ange-obasama’s lips were warped, but he didn’t notice .
