If you look closely, it's not snowflakes, it's tears.

It's the little girl's birthday.

That night, there was a lot of traffic in front of Lilac Castle.

From the front yard to the hall, there was a bustling crowd everywhere, and for today's party, the Noble family had extended an invitation to all those who were qualified in the Islay basin more than a month ago.

The orchestra plays a lilting melody, waiters weave through the crowd with plates, the fountains in the courtyard splash with crystalline water, and the warm flames blaze in the fireplace.

In front of the gate of the Lilac Castle, horse-drawn carriages continued to arrive one after another, and well-dressed gentlemen and ladies stepped down from the carriages to join in the grand event.

In Enid's not too long life, he had never seen anything like this.

When was the last time this fort was as lively as it is today?, Enid thought as she stood on the windowsill of her bedroom, looking at the scene below.

No, the wedding was so low-key, so low-key that even some nobles didn't know about it until a few months later.

So, the coming-of-age ceremony between the eldest brother and the second brother? The eldest brother doesn't know, and the second brother's coming-of-age banquet is much smaller than today.

It seems that my father did not break his promise. Enid thought so, but this realization did not make the little girl feel much better.

In the past few days, Enid tried several times, but Ellie never brought up the unfinished words of the day.

At that moment, Enid, out of a great sense of foreboding, stopped what the maid was about to say, because she felt that once Elle was allowed to speak, the matter would never be undone.

But are things really the way you think they are? Ellie...... Are you really leaving?

Enid knew that Ellie was no ordinary maid, she had not signed any contract with the Noble family at all, and even if she did, if she really wanted to leave, who would be able to stop her?

The mounds of the Islay Fields have long proven her iron will and strength.

Enid knew that Elle had come from the Northlands, and perhaps she had a blood vengeance to avenge her, or that an enemy was always following her.

But why? Why leave? Why don't you tell yourself the details?

In the past few days, the little girl has never been able to get an answer from Ellie.

Enid breathed a sigh of air in her heart.

Why, why is it like this for one or two? Am I not working hard enough? I have become a nine-ring mage at this age, am I lazy? Why can't you trust me and rely on me? Can't we face problems together?

The family was in trouble, and he wanted to discuss with his father and two brothers as soon as possible to face it together. Compare it now, it turns out that in the eyes of Elle and Russell, is he not as reliable as his two brothers in his eyes?

Ellie's matter once again aroused the unwillingness in the little girl's heart.

So at this moment, she looked angrily at the crowd below, imagining how many conspirators from the royal capital were mixed in, and how many local nobles were half-hearted.

She must solve the family's troubles beautifully!

So she didn't notice that standing behind her, Elle's complicated gaze.

The little girl with mage's mind didn't realize the other possibility: what happened to her might just be because they loved her too much and didn't want to involve her in those dangerous things, as her father and brother did......

Yes, no matter how smart and powerful Enid is, in their eyes, she is always just a little girl, a little girl who is only five years old.

She deserves to be like a princess, to be favored by all and to live happily every day, instead of living in intrigue and calculation, and fighting dangerous battles against vicious enemies.

In the quiet bedroom, looking at the little girl dressed up, Ellie sighed silently.

......

Green apple juice, white lime slices, and small pink cherries, Enid sipped the various drinks in the glass.

The party has been going on for a while.

When the little girl dressed up and walked slowly down the wide staircase on the second floor of the castle, it caused a great shock in the hall, which she did not know and was not interested in.

Despite the sporadic comments, the ears still reach the ears.

"It's so beautiful, I feel like I'm looking at twenty years ago...... The scene when she married into Lilac Castle. "This is an elderly aristocrat.

Mom...... Speaking of which, which family is my mother from, and among the nobles here today, will there be people on my mother's side?

"I wish I could have been born ten years later, but maybe ......"

Walking around the long table with Ellie, and some gossip came into my ears, this should be some strange young aristocratic child?

"Hee-hee, Vanessa, maybe it will only take ten years, no, maybe it won't take ten years, and your title of 'Flower of Valentine' will not be kept. ”

Enid approached the circle of a group of noble ladies, and I don't know which noble ladies were teasing their friends, but Miss Vanessa should keep the title of what kind of flower she had.

In the hall, the light music suddenly stopped.

The aristocrats also took action, converging in pairs on the dance floor in the middle.

"Mind dancing with me for the first time? "Count Lilac seems to be particularly energetic today, and he can't see anything unusual in his usual days.

So, the little girl took her father's hand and walked to the dance floor, and the crowd around her looked at it with a smile and made way to the very center.

As the music played, Ini took her father's hand and spun in circles to the rhythm.

Enid didn't learn to dance.

But it was just a five-year-old girl, and the crowd around was certainly not going to say anything.

"Is there any of my mother's family here today? I mean Cylie's mother. Looking around, the silver-haired young girl asked in a low voice.

"You will naturally know about Seli in the future...... Naturally, it will. Count Lilac did not answer more.

Seeing that his father's originally cheerful expression was stained with a hint of gloom, Enid didn't want to ask any more questions.

Symbolically following her father through her first dance, Enid returned to the table.

On the side, there were two aristocrats who were talking, and when they saw Enid walking nearby, they looked at the little girl with a smile and raised their glasses.

"For the lovely Miss Noble!"

"May the lilacs bloom!

"Bang" and drink it all.

Then, one of them, the nobleman in a small vest with a mustache, took out a golden pen from his waistcoat pocket and handed it to Enid.

"Lovely little lady, this is a birthday present for you, I wish you beauty and health~"

"This is my gift. Another middle-aged nobleman, who had no special appearance, gave a small box, and when Enid opened it, it contained several beaded flowers made of crystal, which were crystal clear and very beautiful.

"Thank you. Enid thanked her politely, took the two of them's gifts, put them away, and took Elle elsewhere.

It was a peaceful birthday party, Enid thought, but it wasn't what I wanted.
