Chapter 7: An unexpected gift
— Mister, Miss Mereoleona's birthday is coming soon. Do you have any ideas what you can give her for her birthday?
The boy was staring at the ceiling with a spoon in his mouth. He looked at his maid, and smiled strangely.
The guy abruptly stood up from the table, and proudly straightened his small chest. From what, it was unusual.
Ellion Strauss, always serious, looked like an ordinary kid right now.
"My dear Cecile, who do you think I am?" Of course, I have prepared a gift.)
The girl looked at the guy, so the guy got goosebumps. —I hope it's an acceptable gift." Which will not spoil our image.
The little one couldn't stand such pressure from his sworn sister. He waved his small pale hands, trying to fend off her pressure.

And now the day has come. Mereoleona Vermillion's birthday.
The little boy was wearing a long white kimono with light blue patterns. A belt decorated with decorative elements is tied around his waist.
A white carriage with red patterns ran up to the huge estate of the Vermillion Family.
And to the surprise of many, the butler and the star of this event, Mereoleona Vermillion, was waiting for them at the gate to the house.
Who was dressed in our usual clothes, which did not change even in the anime.
The butler greeted them first. He bowed slightly, "Hello, Mr. Ellion and Lady Cecile."
The little boy attracted everyone's attention with his unusual outfit.
In the kingdom of clover, few people wear kimonos. And because of that, he looked unusual for these parts.
Ellion responded with the same gesture, he bowed slightly, as did his companion — Hello, Mr. Lloyd and Gentlemen of Mereoleon.
Mereoleona looked at the little boy, and with all the hyperactivity she had, she greeted the boys — Hi kid.
Ellion looked at his maid, implying that he would do what he asked.
Cecile stretched out her palm, and a black funnel began to form from it, and something came out.
Something that looked like a human body, it was wrapped in wrapping paper.
Mereoleona looked with interest at the boy's gift — what is it?
The boy took one step forward, pointing with his hand towards his gift
— This is a mannequin that I was able to create with my magic. Her special feature is that she absorbs magic, and thus, you can beat her as much as you want.
Mereoleona went up to the mannequin, and with a twinkle in her eyes examined him, touching various parts of his body — kid, and you did well, thank you for the gift.
The little boy bowed slightly, "I'm glad you liked my gift." But I want to tell you that this mannequin does not last forever, after a month or two it disintegrates. But you can come to me if you need 1 more.
The woman nodded and continued to inspect the gift.
Two people from the Strauss family didn't waste any time and went to the main hall.
Ellion and Cecile stood and talked until their friends came to them. Such as the Liver Family and Pendragon, and his little friend Noelle.
While they were talking. A lot of aristocrats approached Ellion, who talked about marriage, between their family.
But the little boy refused them in every way.

And finally. Ellion left the banquet and he went to Carreta.
Cecille looked at her master, who looked rather sad.
The girl touched the guy's shoulder and asked about his well—being - Mister, are you okay?
— Yes, I'm fine, I just remembered that incident with my family.
The girl hugged the guy and tried to cheer the boy up. — We will find a cure for them.
"You're right, I can find a cure for them. And I will find those mercenaries who attacked them.

And now a year has passed. And our main character turns 10 years old. He wasn't going to make holidays for an aristocrat.
He invited only his family and no one else to his party.
Ellion and Cecile were standing at the entrance to their family's mansion. They were waiting for the guests to greet them warmly.
And not far from the house, you can see carreta, two familiar houses.
With the coats of arms of the Villieta and Linsey, Nozel families.
The Carrets stopped in front of the mansion. Three charming girls came out of it.
Lynsey was wearing a dress made in the style of the XVIII century, with long sleeves and a full skirt. The main color is light yellow, complemented by white and gold trim. The front part is decorated with ruffles and lace, adding sophistication to the outfit.
Villeta is dressed in a Rococo dress made in pink and mother-of-pearl tones. It has wide sleeves with white lace and is decorated with details of ruffles and satin ribbons. The corset part of the dress is fringed, and the skirt is voluminous and flowing, creating an elegant silhouette.
Noelle is wearing a 17th-century-style dress made of fabric with bright ornaments in blue and beige tones. It has voluminous sleeves with lace inserts and a wide neckline. The skirt is full and long, creating a striking silhouette.
The girls began to climb the stairs, and finally, having crossed the last step, they approached the boy.
Villeta—Ellion was the first to speak, it's been 5 years since we met. And during that time, you've become the very person we can trust.
Ellion was about to reply, but before he could, Linsey spoke up next.
— And during this time, you have become a dear person to us. We saw how you suffered after the incident with your family, and that's why we
The next part was continued by Noelle–I am very grateful to you that you always help me, with your help, I was able to improve the control of my magic.
— We asked our families to help us so that they could find information about the people who attacked you and your parents.
One of the butlers brought a box and gave it to Ellion.
Villeta started to say that this book contains everything we could find over the past 2 years. they changed their location every time.
