Chapter 4: Lori's Birthday Present

After Carlisle's episode, the banquet ushered in with a large cake several layers high being pushed into the hall.

First of all, the old butler began to read out the birthday gifts given to Leah by various nobles, and there was no doubt that Carlisle could not be the only one who brought gifts for the birthday of the bar mitzvah. However, except for Carlisle, who has a special status, the rest of the nobles just handed over the gifts to the old butler, after all, not all gifts are suitable for the scene to be handed over to the little Lori.

For example, now, the old housekeeper tepidly took the gift list and read:

"Count Carren Farainn gave Miss Leah a carved fragrant wood carriage to wish his sister a happy birthday and for her service to Randall in Snow Lotus. ”

There was no doubt that a gift like this would not have been carried into the hall, and that size alone would have been enough to make the whole banquet a mess.

"Like my gift, Leah?"

At the same time as the butler read it, Karene had already come behind little Lori, who was wearing a black evening dress tonight, and on her head she wore a headdress inlaid with eight silver balls and woven from gold and silver circles, which was the symbol of the count. However, if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that Kalian's dress is just a rule, but this is not surprising, tonight is Leah's birthday and festival, and the considerate Karene will naturally choose to give up the most eye-catching position of the banquet to her little sister.

"Honestly, you're scaring me, Sister Karen. ”

Leah deliberately made a flattered expression and patted her small chest, and then hugged each other shyly, the music box that Carlisle gave to Leah was made of fragrant wood, which is also very precious wood among the nobles, and it can be used to make a whole carriage, which is not a big deal.

The ensuing gifts were instantly overshadowed by Kalian's bombshell, but it is worth mentioning that although the butler did not mention it, for Leah, she preferred the small gifts from her friends to the extravagant and gorgeous gifts given by the nobles from all over the world.

Until now, the most exaggerated gifts she had received were the carriage from Caren, followed by the music box from Carlisle, while Leona gave Lori a bottle of perfume, Warriff and Amy gave her Rain Flower Stone and a big hug bear, and Alec gave Lori some exotic lace that could be used on different clothes.

Finally, the long gift slip was finished.

At the same time, the owner of the city of Farain, Duke Brown Farain, appeared. Before that, the whole banquet was hosted by Leah with the help of the old butler, which was a small test for the old duke to his daughter.

But now that the banquet has been going on, the old duke has finally arrived.

Duke Brown naturally did not enter the hall from the entrance at the castle gate, but walked slowly and step by step from the hall up a wide staircase on the inside of the castle. A black, gold-studded gown was meticulously groomed, and a gold-ringed headdress with eight red gold leaves on her head resembled a dancing flame. He walked slowly, his shoes making a crisp, rhythmic sound on the shiny marble steps, and though he did not speak, his every move was endowed with a charming charm and majesty.

Finally, he descended the stairs to the hall, where the nobles around him consciously gave way to a path.

"I wish you good health, my dear father. ”

Lifting the hem of her skirt, Leah bowed.

"Thank you, my child. ”

The old duke spoke to Leah in his deep, slightly hoarse voice, which is characteristic of men in middle age and old age, and then made a gesture to signal that the salute did not need to be polite.

Then he looked around again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honour to see that you are willing to take a little time out of your busy schedules to attend the coming-of-age ceremony of my daughter, Leah Farain. I'm sure tonight will be a fantastic night, for anyone present. So, don't be inhibited, let's forget about our worries and dance to our heart's content. ”

After saying these words, the old duke suddenly changed into a mischievous smile and continued:

"Ah, but until then, I don't think you mind enjoying dessert, do you?"

As he spoke, Duke Brown made a gesture, and the old butler, who had been waiting for him, began to put a candle on the big cake.

"Come, my child, make a wish, and blow them out. ”

The old duke then motioned for Leah to blow out the candles.

Blowing out candles is an indispensable program on birthdays, and little Lori naturally won't refuse, but just as Leah was about to blow out the candles, a waiter came over and whispered a few words to the old butler, and then, the old butler naturally passed these words to the old duke.

Old Man Brown secretly showed a surprised expression at first, but then, he clapped his hands and motioned for everyone present to be quiet.

"I think this is probably the best gift you've ever received today, my child. ”

After reaching out and pulling Leah to his side, Duke Brown gently took Lori's shoulders and turned her to the door of the hall.

Then, the door to the hall was pushed open again, and #性爱小说http://wWw./class12/1.html a middle-aged man dressed in solemn clothes walked in and came to Leah.

"With the gifts of our most noble King, His Majesty Cliff Randall VI, and Princess Isabella Rand VII, I wish you a happy coming-of-age ceremony, Lord Leah Farain. ”

The messenger was a messenger from Randall, who held a plate engraved with the griffon's coat of arms. There are three things in there.

The first two things were together, a silver-ringed headdress with six silver balls, and a thin piece of paper. There is no doubt that this was given by the king, and the coronation of the viscount was extended.

The remaining gift was a brooch from Isabella with a huge sapphire, which was undoubtedly the only jeweler of the royal family.

The effect of these gifts was amazing, and the viscount's letter of appointment said that all teenagers and girls who could be knighted on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony would receive these things. But that brooch is different, which undoubtedly shows that little Lori and Isabella have a very good relationship, you must know that even Carlisle's coming-of-age ceremony, Isabella simply sent the baron's coronation paperwork and some words of blessing.

This is also a relative reflection of a very strong rumor that has been circulating recently - Princess Isabella and Leah seem to be very close. To be honest, the impact on the aristocratic circle is quite large, and the nobles around are whispering.

But the old Duke Brown didn't care about this, he just took the things from the messenger and dressed Leah up.

"I didn't expect my daughter to have the honor of being presented by His Majesty and the Princess tonight, please take me and Viscount Leah to express our sincerest respect to Her Majesty and the Princess. ”

To the envoys from the court, the Duke of Brown smiled and said that it was a good thing that his daughter was glad that he had received a gift from the princess at the coming-of-age ceremony, no matter what others thought. Later, he invited the messenger to Little Lori's ball, and offered to arrange for a griffin to send him back tomorrow.

The other party expressed his honor to mention this mentions.

So, after accepting these gifts from the royal family, Leah will officially become a knighted daughter from today.
