Winter after 1 year.
I was taking Teacher Isabel's class with Shion, and I heard a loud cry from the rider along with the loud sound of horseshoe hooves.
"The carriage of the Zantar royal family is up! This is a birthday present from His Highness Prince Franz Nestor Cyril Zantar to Lord Shion Andreas Halias!"
What?
Of course, it was true that Shion's birthday was just around the corner, and the relationship between him and the Prince was strong and strong.
However, I did not expect that a Prince who was only five years old would send two carriages to his friend's birthday.
As I faced Shion, my eyes widened, and I was impressed by Miss Isabelle's cultured attitude.
"Oh, I see that the little Prince truly cares about Young Master Shion."
Shion chuckled at that moment.
"Isn't he the one who learned all the letters to send me a reply? I don't know what the hell he sent as a gift."
I sighed a little as I looked at Shion's happy face.
Prince Franz seemed to firmly believe that he would be friends with me just because he was the same age.
This year, he also sent me a letter to make that dream come true, but it was a shame for me.
"I don't know how to write yet!"
I didn't want to write a reply, so I tried to cry to Shion, but to no avail.
"I'm sorry, but Liana... They already know how smart you are. I boasted about it a long time ago."
The Prince even expressed his desire to be invited to my birthday banquet, and when I received the letter, my eyes were red and my fingertips were hot.
Caliph fanned the burning house.
"Liana, you can invite the Prince at any time."
"Why is your eldest brother like that? Prince, no!"
As I screamed, he retorted by stretching my cheeks.
"Even if you invite him a hundred times, the Prince won't come. No royal family can travel at the age of five."
Only then did I feel relieved and sent a polite Invitation to the Prince.
Of course, as Caliph said, the Prince did not come, and instead, a gift from the royal palace was delivered, saying that he was sorry for rejecting the invitation.
And on Shion's birthday, half a year later, the Prince seems to have decided to send a lot of gifts instead of dreaming too much.
Miss Isabelle put down her pen.
"Then you'll have to look at the gifts, so let's stop here for today."
"Thank you, Miss!"
Shion ran down into the garden.
The royal carriage that appeared in the garden of Halias Castle was full of cookies, chocolates, and gifts large and small with the initials of Shion engraved on them.
As we got closer, Shion shouted while holding a doll girl with pink hair.
"This is your deal, Liana!"
"It's not even my birthday, what?"
I bluntly pretended not to see the doll.
I have Mr. Se, so I don't need any other girl dolls.
***
From the day he received the Prince's gift carriage to the end of his birthday banquet, Shion received an enormous number of gifts.
In Halias, Shion's birthday party is always celebrated grandly, because his birthday is in the middle of winter.
In the middle of winter, when everything freezes, the people of the territory are invited to the main castle under the pretext of the birthday of the youngest master, receive hot food and gifts, and enjoy a banquet.
Of course, they also prepared many gifts, large and small, for Shion.
In the evening, after a week-long banquet, I went to Shion's room.
He was looking at a ribbed book called 'The Ancient Magic of Halias.'
Bona Mana Caliph must have given it to him.
I frowned and grumbled.
"It's too much for my eldest brother to give you the book The Ancient Magic of Halias as a birthday present."
Then Shion looked back at me with a strange look.
"Liana, this book is the only one, without a single copy. My eldest brother gave me something that he cherished very much. I'm not trying to evaluate everyone's heartfelt gifts, but honestly, among the gifts I received for this birthday, this book is my favorite."
I tried my best to straighten my distorted face and smiled.
"But brother, you haven't received my gift yet. Do you remember?"
"Did you do that?"
I slammed Shion's outstretched palm.
"How does your five-year-old sister prepare a gift? Don't do that, let's go to the playroom and play!"
"At this time?"
Shion stood up with a puzzled face, but there was no sign of sadness on my face.
'You're stupid. I'm thinking day and night about giving you a nice gift for every birthday.'
So, I deliberately waited until nightfall.
Dozens of glass bottles with small sparks trapped in them were on the balcony of the playroom where we played head-to-head.
"...What is this, Liana?"
When Shion arrived at the playroom and asked blankly, looking at the rows of glass bottles, I stretched out my arms and pushed the bottles into the air.
"Happy birthday, Brother Shion."
As I slowly pulled my hands above my head, glass bottles came up little by little.
When I couldn't stand it anymore, I clapped my hands.
Fang!
The flames in the bottles grew in momentum and exploded like firecrackers.
I added a word to Shion, who lowered his chin and looked up at the sky.
"I get permission from my eldest brother..."
But before I could finish speaking, Shion hugged me.
"You're the best, Liana. No matter what, you can't even reach your feet."
I rubbed my cheeks on Shion's shoulder, which was quite taller than mine, and acknowledged it.
"Do you know that now?"

A few days later, at the same time, I had just returned from the dining hall when I heard the loud sound of horses' hooves outside.
"What is it?"
When I asked her because I still hadn't grown tall enough to see out the window, Dorian looked out the window and replied casually.
"I think it's a royal messenger, right?"
Then I looked at the empty carpet and clicked my tongue.
"No, why is the bathtub not yet?"
Seeing the noise in the hallway, everyone seemed to be distracted by the messenger.
Dorian sighed and went to the door.
"I'll find out how far Suzy has gone with the bathtub, baby."
In my heart, I wished Suzy had lost my bathtub very much.
So Dorian struggled to get a new bathtub.
In the meantime, I hope I can overhear everything the messenger says.
"A messenger has come from the royal family, Your Excellency."
But it was time to put my ear to the door and overhear the butler's voice.
The door opened widely, and I immediately jumped out in front of the door
"Ouch!"
"Oh my God! I'm sorry, baby! Why were you standing at the door..."
Dorian pulled my clothes up, turned my healthy limbs around, and made a fuss, but I was really fine.
It was perfect except for the fact that I couldn't overhear the messenger's news, and it was unfair.
Dorian gave me a bath as usual and told me the story before going to bed.
"Today, I'm going to tell you a very naughty little fairy, baby..."
But I was just proud.
I had been waiting for news from the royal family, more precisely, for the temple.
After I named the owner of the Red Star as the next High Priest, Caliph personally rushed to the castle of Fasia and promised to support them.
It was exactly what I wanted.
'There is no guarantee that what happened in the past life will happen in this life, but I hope it will be correct.'
If there was an important call from the royal family, there was a chance that Alseid would summon Caliph to discuss or deliver the news.
Therefore, I must quickly pretend to be asleep and send Dorian back to her room
In the end, I tried to act like I slept while imitating the sound of snoring.
"...But he recited the spell again... Oh, baby. Are you very tired today?"
Dorian smiled and left my room.
After deceiving the nanny, I waited for the hallway to calm down.
When I quietly got out of the quilt and put my ear to the door, my little heart pounded.
'It's a night when no one is around, so I wish I could hear it better...'
But I didn't hear anything.
I got bored and sat down on the floor, but only one ear was pressed against the door.
Thanks to this, when I heard a knock, I was surprised to think that someone had come to my room.
"Father, it's me."
It was also Caliph.
I pressed close to the door so that my ears flattened.
It was frustrating because I couldn't hear the murmuring sound well for a while, but soon I heard a loud noise.
"Priest Spenta is fated?"
After Caliph's bewildered voice, I clearly heard Alseid's answer.
"Charles Fasia has become the next high priest."
Correct!
Caliph muttered in a voice full of emotion.
"Garcia was also skeptical, but our Liana was right..."
I squeezed back to bed with a big smile on my face.
'Maybe Caliph will carry me on his back from tomorrow?"
I only want to allow him to kiss my cheeks, but I don't know if I can protect my small and precious lips in front of my eldest brother's affectionate attack.
Long live Charles Fasia!

The next morning, Caliph, whom I met at the dinner party, smiled as gently as the sun.
"Good night, Liana?"
Intoxicated by the victory of the previous night, I raised my chin and shrugged my shoulders.
"Yes. You, brother?"
"Oh, I slept well. Thanks to our Liana."
"Um, why me?"
When I asked as if I didn't know, Caliph grinned.
"Yes. I had a good dream about our Liana."
Alas, in that dream, I will also be the next fuse?
