A few hours after that.
At the dining room table in the mansion, the three Bedmond brothers sat facing each other.
The dining room, large enough to hold a small banquet, was full of colorful decorations such as flowers and happy birthday placards.
However, in contrast, the birthday party with only three participants evoked a sense of loneliness.
Ceyden, the birthday person, sat at the top of the table with a colorful cone hat and a wreath of roses on his head.
The cone hat was put on by Cedric, and the wreath was put on by Cervan.
“…….”
He sat in a chair and looked around stunned.
His eyes were dizzy at the feast of childish and lively ornaments.
Ceyden, who reached out and touched the flower on him, raised the corners of his mouth with half disappointment and a little joy.
‘Haa, when did they prepare all this…….’
Ceyden tried hard not to sigh.
Because right in front of him were his two younger brothers, who had sparkling eyes.
‘Is First Brother going to like you?’
‘Surprise party! Birthday party!’
Even if it didn’t come out of their mouth, he could already see what they were thinking on their face.
In fact, Ceyden had just returned from the Imperial Palace.
However, as soon as he enters the mansion, his two younger brothers put on eye covering and take him somewhere.
“…… ?”
He climbed the stairs and walked all the way down the hallway, and the place he arrived at was familiar.
Eventually, the eye covering came off with a cry of ‘ta-da!’.
And this is what appeared……It was the scene of a needlessly crude colorful birthday party.
‘I think it must have been because of this, a few weeks ago, when the two of them saw me, they were whispering about birthdays.’
Even a small band was called in, according to how set up it was.
The musicians in the band looked at the brothers, and immediately started playing.
A soft piano melody filled the hall.
“…… Thank you for the birthday wishes.”
Eventually, Ceyden shut his eyes tightly.
Then he put one hand on his forehead and he barely spoke.
He doesn’t know if it’s because he’s getting a birthday party that children at this age can do, or because he’s happy inside, but his face was as red as a tomato.
“Thank you for doing this much.”
“Ahem, my younger brother and I worked hard to prepare.”
Cedric and Cervan shrugged their shoulders.
Even if they pretended not to, they were nervous before, but when they heard that Ceyden likes it, they seemed relieved.
“…… Hon, honestly, didn’t I prepare more than you did? I was told to call the band, and I also gave the list of birthday foods to the kitchen.”
“What are you talking about? I ordered all the decorations for this place.”
Of course, they didn’t forget to argue among themselves over who was more zealous.
“It’s a pity that Father and Mother were both busy so they couldn’t come.”
Then, suddenly, Cedric muttered.
He was lucky enough to have the whole family gather a few times at the family tea party he had held before, but today, due to a schedule, only the three of them were able to get together.
“That’s right. It’s a pity that we don’t have anyone to invite other than us.”
At Cedric’s words, Cervan muttered involuntarily, stretching his back.
But Cedric grumbled as if he remembered something after hearing that.
“…… Didn’t Younger brother say that he would invite his close friends? I heard that a few days ago.”
“Huh? Ahaha…… ! Ummm, did I say that? Don’t you remember?”
Cedric was taken aback by Cervan’s words, and then denied that it was not true.
But Cedric listened to the end.
“No. I can clearly remember what I heard.”
“Because it’s not! Because I never said anything like that!”
Cervan was furious.
At that moment, a calm waltz that played was out of place.
Then Cedric said meaningfully, as if Cedric knew something.
“Don’t…… Did you not have any friends, Second Brother?”
“Damn it, no!”
Cervan’s face turned red as if it were burning.
But in turn, the reaction was as if it was announcing that it was true that he had no friends.
Cervan, who had been courageous for a moment, asked Cedric.
“Aren’t you the one who doesn’t have friends, Cedric? Your friends didn’t come either. You keep the only friend, Emir, from coming.”
“How is that possible? It’s not that I don’t have friends, it’s that I didn’t invite them on purpose.”
At Cedric’s eloquent reply, Cervan muttered as he grabbed his head.
“Ah, that’s obviously a lie. Even in kindergarten, you must be playing alone in the corner.”
“It’s not? That’s Second Brother, isn’t it?”
Cedric said sarcastically.
