August's proposal to celebrate Cecily's, Maria's and my birthdays together at my house was accepted.
To tell my servants to prepare for the upcoming party, we went to my house through the "Gate".
"You came back very early today, s.h.i.+n." (Merlin)
"You've also brought your friends home today." (Melinda)
"I'm back, grandpa and grandma." (s.h.i.+n)
Grandpa and grandma welcomed us as we arrived.
"Welcome back, Your Highness. Would you mind not standing at the door? You've blocked my servants' way out."
I hastened to look out of the window.
There was a huge crowd in front of my house and were unable to go in and out of the house as we pleased.
Servants mainly used the back door, however, it seemed that a crowd was gathered there too.
"I got it! I'll take emergency measures as soon as possible." (s.h.i.+n)
"Come in first. Why have these people gathered here?" (Melinda)
August explained the reason to grandma. After hearing about such a strange scene, grandma who knew nothing about the situation was now wondering why we came to my house together.
"Isn't my birthday in December?" (s.h.i.+n)
"Yes, it is." (Melinda)
"Cecily's birthday is also on the same day and Maria's birthday is close to mine too, so we decided to celebrate our birthdays together." (s.h.i.+n)
"Well, I see." (Melinda)
Grandma was surprised to learn that Cecily's birthday was on the same day as mine.
"Uncle Dis, Michel-san, Uncle Tom and others may come to our birthday party, so we thought it is better to hold it in grandma's house. As it will take us some time to prepare for the upcoming party, we decided to talk to you about it first."
"It's not a problem but is it really alright to celebrate your birthday in someone else's home?" (Melinda)
Grandma didn't mind us holding the party in her home, instead, she was more worried about the views of Cecily and Maria's families.
As n.o.bles, wouldn't they be disdained and looked down upon by others if they didn't even celebrate their children's birthdays at their own homes?
"It's not really a problem. Rather, I'll be regarded as an odd girl if I don't celebrate my birthday together with s.h.i.+n's and refuse Wolford's wishes." (Cecily)
"Yes. I think others will envy you." (August)
"Also, His Majesty will come to s.h.i.+n's birthday party, and my servants will find it a little difficult and overwhelming to welcome him." (Cecily)
"My servants will face similar problems too. They'll be under intolerable pressure." (Maria)
Servants in Cecily and Maria's home would be under huge pressure if Uncle Dis went to their houses.
However, Uncle Dis usually stayed at my house. Therefore, my servants had gotten used to his presence in the house. Sometimes, they even treated him rather casually, but Uncle Dis didn't mind at all.
He seemed to be quite relaxed here. I often saw him drinking a coldlight beer, getting drunk and sleeping on the sofa in the living room.
To me, he was just my uncle, but it wasn't like that for others.
In Earls.h.i.+de, he was a famous monarch who loved his people, made the country richer and more developed and refused to sacrifice the country's interests for his individual desires.
I only learned that after arriving at the capital.
"So will it be okay if Uncle Dis comes to my house?" (s.h.i.+n)

"Well, does that boy think anyone can come here?" (Melinda)
