The Villain Is A Perfect Fit For The Role

Lauren, who was assisting Abel, asked in a low voice.

“What did I do wrong!”

“Otherwise, why do the Imperial Palace Knights stick around?”

“For escape prevention.”

“yes?”

“There is such a thing.”

If he wanted to, he could use force to escape, but even Abel had a minimum line.

“What kind of person’s birthday party is this long?”

“Because you are the only one who will become emperor.”

Because the situation was complicated, more envoys than ever before visited the imperial palace.

“Have you checked the invitee list for the day?”

“yes. Devine also decided to attend.”

“That’s a good thing.”

If you hold on a little longer, you can see Richt’s face. For Abel, that was the only comfort.

‘Good thing you asked.’

Otherwise, I would have missed Theodore’s birthday. Ain would have informed him of his absence using his health as an excuse, and would have sent him an appropriately selected gift.

‘I don’t really feel like it. Besides, with the situation like this, I can’t pretend to be the main character.’

Richt pondered as he looked through the list of gifts the merchant brought. Just by looking at the picture included, you can tell that it is great, but I don’t know if this is Theodore’s taste.

“What would a young boy like?”

“May I ask how old you are?”

“After my birthday, I turn 14.”

“You’re just the right age. Boys of that age are usually interested in things like this.”

There was a sword in the merchant’s newly opened list.

“Or even a colt would be fine. I’m at the age where I like things like that. Coincidentally, our merchant is connected to a farm that raises horses. If you want, I will bring you a horse with good pedigree that is hard to find anywhere else.”

After listening to the explanation, it makes sense. On the spot, Richt ordered a sword said to have been made by an excellent craftsman and a colt that inherited the bloodline of a war horse. The amount was so enormous that the merchant bowed down with his mouth cut to his ears.

“Thank you thank you!”

After finishing my order, I sent the merchant away and asked Ban about something that suddenly occurred to me.

“So, when is your birthday?”

Ban blinked slowly, probably because the question was unexpected. He looked worried and then opened his mouth.

“I do not know.”

Born as a slave, he was raised along with other slave children. She remembered a woman who would come and smile from time to time, but she wasn’t sure if that person was her mother. Until the former Duke brought Ban here, his daily life was monotonously repetitive.

It was natural not to know the birthday. Who will celebrate the birthday of a child born to a slave? Even my parents don’t take care of me.

Richt realized it too late.

“Then do you have a favorite month?”

“Nothing in particular.”

“So how are you these days?”

“great.”

The Empire is not a country with clear changes in the four seasons. However, there were some changes. From June to July, the sun is a little warmer, and flowers and trees grow.

“What is it?”

“Being able to work with Richt.”

Richt laughed involuntarily at the blatant expression of his feelings.

“Then shall we do it today?”

Even the sight of the class tilting their heads, not knowing what to say, looks cute.

“Your birthday.”

“My birthday?”

“okay. Still, I need time to prepare for my birthday, so tomorrow. “How about tomorrow?”

Half of them looked like they didn’t understand. He was basically expressionless, and the changes in his expression were weaker than those of other people. However, as we spent more time together, I was now able to read most of his emotions.

“So, July 20th. how is it?”

There was a feeling that they were pushing it recklessly, but if you don’t like it, you can just cancel. A decent class needs someone who is a bit self-indulgent.

“My birthday.”

Ban rolled his eyes and smiled.

“great.”

Seeing the smiling expression, Richt’s mouth also felt itchy. I wanted to laugh together.

“But do you also give me a gift on my birthday?”

“of course. “Is there anything you want?”

I should have sent the merchant back a little later. She asks regretfully, and Ban’s eyes sparkle. The emotion contained therein must have been anticipation.

“It may be too much of a gift for me, but there is something I would like to receive if possible.”

“What?”

“I don’t know if I can say it’s too much.”

“say.”

Even after this, she is the head of Devine. Richt was confident that he would buy anything Van said.

“It’s okay, just tell me.”

“You won’t be angry?”

Is it expensive enough to make you angry? But does such a thing exist? As Richt learned more about Devine recently, he was realizing many things.

‘I have a lot.’

As long as you don’t do anything stupid, you can live affluently for the rest of your life. And he said that stupid thing was like treason. Since I have no intention of committing treason now, the rest of my life is guaranteed.

‘I have to go back.’

Is there any need to go back? I even had that thought.

While Richt was lost in thought, Ban came back to the front and knelt down. He placed his hand on top of Richt’s, which was neatly placed on his lap.

‘You’ve become quite bold.’

It was he who made the class like this. As I thought about that, my heart started pounding.

“On your birthday.”

Ban hesitated several times as to why it was so difficult to say.

“It’s okay, just tell me.”

“On my birthday, I want to spend the night with Richt.”

This time it was Richt’s turn to widen his eyes.

“therefore.”

Are the night I think of and the night he thinks of the same? My heart started beating faster.

“I want to be with Richt completely without interference from others. “If I am presumptuous, please punish me.”

Ban, who had said that far, closed his eyes tightly. Her hand that was touching hers was trembling.

‘You have to refuse.’

I wasn’t mentally ready for that yet. So it’s right to refuse. Seeing my class trembling made me feel weak. Aren’t you feeling too repulsed by something you haven’t experienced yet? That’s what I thought.

‘I shouldn’t be doing this.’

Richt was too weak for Van. So, after rejecting her confession, you can’t even separate her. He reached out his hand and rubbed Van’s cheek. Then Ban opened his closed eyes and looked at Richt.

‘As expected, I can’t beat these eyes.’

A small laugh burst out.

“good.”

When I answered, Ban looked surprised. It seemed like he had no idea that he would listen.

“I’ll give it to you if you want.”

Richt pulled Van’s face and made eye contact. Her red eyes filled with moisture, and tears began to fall. It was pitiful and lovely to see her crying silently, so I kissed her forehead. Ban cried for a while longer after that.

“For now, the gift has been decided.”

Should I only use presents on my birthday? Richt entered the kitchen for the first time in a while. When he said he would use it, Ain cleaned everyone up at the speed of light. Yes, he was right in saying he put it away.

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

“doesn’t exist.”

Richt refused Ain’s help. Then we started making the cake in earnest. But it wasn’t easy for him to make the cake he wanted. First of all, there were no small, automatically rotating whisks in this era. That means you have to whip it by hand to make whipped cream.

it’s too hard.

‘Now that I think about it, even when I was running the bakery, all the effort was half the work.’

Rahit reflected on the past and gave up whipped cream cake. I could have called someone to do it, but I wanted to make this entirely on my own.

‘Let’s make chocolate cake.’

Fortunately, there was chocolate here. After baking the sheets and spreading chocolate between them, we worked hard to create a delicious, shiny chocolate cake. Now I have to keep this until tomorrow. Fortunately, there was a refrigerator in Devine.

Well, of course, it’s not a refrigerator that runs on electricity like Hyundai’s. There was only room for ice inside the metal box. Ice is made in advance in the winter and stored in a nearby ice warehouse.

Even if it’s not super cold, you can keep food for a few days without it going bad. You have to keep adding ice along the way, but that’s the subordinates’ job.

After putting in the finished cake, I thought about a gift. This is because I wanted to give a gift that was tangible. But the only thing that came to mind was accessories. There are already great swords and horses. The armor was already there too.

‘Which one is better?’

ring. It seemed uncomfortable for a sword-wielding swordsman. Bracelet, dismissed for similar reasons. Wouldn’t a necklace or earrings be okay? Or something like clothes. As I was thinking about it, something came to mind.

‘You have to pierce your ears to wear earrings.’

Half of the people didn’t have their ears pierced. Richt smoothed his ears with his hands. He also didn’t pierce his ears.
