After her parents showed their affection for a while, Angelica's birthday party finally began.

It's a birthday party, but it's just a small family dinner for Conrad's family of three.

It's not that there are no relatives and friends, it's just that the people of the Conrad family pay more attention to the time they spend with their families.

Topped with honey-roasted turkey, fruit salad, cheese fruit pie, and Melly's special high-calorie diabetic maker cake, that's all on the table.

The taste of his wife and daughter is really strange, the only safe thing for Conrad is the roast turkey, but even this last pure land is in trouble, but as long as you can cross the skin, you can eat chicken without sweetness, so I start to feel full of energy when I think about it.

Aside from the extreme sweetness tendency, the wife's craftsmanship has nothing to say, and the daughter is naughty and mischievous, but as long as you can see her happy smiling face, you will feel that the temper or something is also cute.

Conrad watched his wife and daughter spend this special dinner happily until he was disgusted by his wife and gave him a knife.

"What's that disgusting look on your face?"

When she said this, Melly's face was not completely hidden, why couldn't she be straightforward, but Conrad felt that even such an unruly wife was the loveliest in the world.

"Ah, speaking of which, I haven't given Angelica a gift yet. ”

Conrad got up and left the dining room, bringing back a wooden box from the grocery store, and after handing the box to his daughter, he said in a mysterious low voice.

"Let's take it apart and take a look. ”

Perhaps because she never lived up to her daughter's expectations, Conrad's words were the most emotionally arousing for her daughter, and Angelica, who was still addicted to cakes, immediately put aside the cake and couldn't wait to undo the delicate little lock on the wooden box and open the lid.

Placed in the box was a delicate puppet, not the little girl's favorite maiden puppet, but the strange appearance of wearing heavy armor.

The puppet is more than 30 centimeters tall, with a burly figure, a well-detailed facial depiction, and the whole body is finely polished from fine wood to create the rounded shape of the human body and then connected by spherical joints, and the body is draped in simulated wooden silver-plated armor.

Angelica was stunned for a moment when she got the doll, and then the expression on her face gradually became excited.

"This is!"

Seeing his daughter's elated appearance, Conrad also gained great satisfaction, and it was not in vain that he went to great lengths to look around.

"It seems that you have already guessed, it is worthy of my daughter's good eye. ”

The gift to her daughter was the protagonist of a puppet show that was once popular throughout the country, and that puppet show was an exclusive repertoire written by a very famous traveling theater troupe, although it was also a popular but did not form a commercial product for various reasons, and finally faded out of people's attention with the decline of the troupe.

Deeply influenced by her father, Angelica fell in love with the already heroic protagonist of the wonderful plot after watching the puppet show, Friedrich, about three years ago.

"This puppet is not a random imitation, but the one used by the troupe, which means that this is the Friedrich figure you saw three years ago. ”

It is not so easy for the border region to obtain luxury goods, let alone this kind of specific collection, even if it is Conrad, who manages the army's supplies and has a good relationship with the merchants, but fortunately, the owner of the former grocery store is also a relatively well-informed person, so he can barely get his hands on the things.

So, the little monkey girl was completely ignited, hugged her father's neck and kissed and kissed on the old face with sparse stubble.

"Daddy is the best for me! I want to marry Daddy when I grow up!"

This thought always felt all utilitarian, but even this was enough to make Conrad's face bloom.

Conrad was happy, but Melly blew up and took her daughter off Conrad and hid her behind her.

"Don't teach your kids weird things!"

The strong intimidation in Melly's eyes when she said this is not fake, if Conrad dares to say a word at such a time, he will definitely be scratched.

Fortunately, as a soldier, Conrad's desire to survive is definitely strong enough, and he changed his face almost immediately, and educated his daughter seriously.

"Girls must not say such things to people, and besides, Dad is already Mom's thing, and it will never change hands in this life. ”

Easy to lose her temper, but also easy to smooth her hair, this is Melly's characteristic, after hearing Conrad's meaty words, although she glared at Conrad with a cold snort with disgust, she could clearly feel the smugness and pleasure hidden in the hum.

Young Angelica was always in a state of low spirits at night, not to mention being in a state of euphoria all day because of her birthday, and she began to doze off soon after dark, and fell asleep after a while.

He carried his daughter back to the room, carefully covered the quilt, put the bear puppet next to the pillow, and kissed the little forehead before tiptoeing out of the room.

Back in the dining room, Melly was still sipping on wine while sipping her cake.

Seeing Conrad sit down, Melly didn't ask about her daughter's situation, she knew that her husband would definitely take care of her daughter, but instead asked a clueless question.

"Do you have anything to say to me?"

It sounds like she is interrogating her husband about cheating, but in fact, just because Melly herself speaks like this, whether it should be concise or omitted.

Conrad smiled wryly and poured himself a glass of wine, sighing in the most relaxed tone possible.

"She really deserves to be my good wife, and she really knows me. ”

It can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to the fact that there is something to say.

"Of course, you don't want to think about how long we've been married. ”

Perhaps because of this short interaction, the words on Conrad's lips are not as difficult to say as before.

"Take Angelica back to the royal capital. ”

Conrad's family and Melly's maiden family are both small nobles who have lived in the royal capital for generations, and they have a lot of assets in the royal capital, but it was only because Conrad went to the border that Melly came to live in this kind of border town, and then gave birth to her daughter Angelica here, so she can be regarded as having a home here.

Melly didn't object or ask why, just quietly waited for Conrad to give her reason.

"Recently, the situation has become more and more weird, and the Holy See has become more and more crazy after losing its commander, so all countries have issued martial law on their borders and major cities, you know why. ”

Melly nodded, the name of the Angel Soldier was now so bad that anyone who knew the name regarded it as a demon rakshasa by the devil.

"Although no confirmation has been made, we have received information about the activities of the Holy See in the vicinity. ”
