Volume 9 Chapter 12: Here’s My Return Gift.
"..." William and Sophia could only shake their heads. The fourth son was spoiling them rotten. He wasn't done with gift-giving; it was time for the others.
"For Eric, I bought you an enchanted sword as well. It can extend and shorten its length."
"It got heft to it," Herrick swung the sword back and forth, impressed by the weight.
"For Derek, I got you these twin swords."
"Sweet!"
The two's eyes glimmered at the swords. But while they did so, William and Sophia could only blink. The equipment didn't seem cheap at all. All of them were definitely expensive.
"For Alvin, I got you this staff. It can enhance wind, water, lightning, and fire. Also, this was not only from me."
"Hmm?" Alvin tilted his head.
"This is something made from Hazel," Keith grinned, "She sends you her regards."
"Ah! She was the one who made it?" Alvin's eyes brightened.
"Hazel?" Sophia's ears also peeked, "Mind explaining to me who that is?"
"Ahh, she's a classmate I tutored and helped out during my academy years. She's quite hardworking and has a talent for making magical equipment. She told me she would stay in the city to work under a famous store."
Alvin stared at the staff, "To think she would make such a beautiful staff. And it's also tailored to me as well. What are the odds?"
"..." Odds? Are you really saying something like that? Sophia then questioned, "Alvin, what does Hazel do for you during classes?"
The moment she asked, a groan came from Eric's, not Alvin's, mouth.
"Hmm? Just the normal things. But whenever she had extra things like wands, stones, and other materials, she would give them to me."
"..." Everyone looked at one another before a deep sigh came out.
Poor Hazel.
"When she has the time, you should invite her over to her." Sophia wanted to see the woman herself.
"I think she's having a difficult time right now. Let's not bother her." Alvin waved.
"..." Brother, she would go heaven and earth for you. Those eyes as she talked about Alvin said it all.
"For father, I bought you these glasses. I tried them on, and they help out with eye strains."
"Thank you." Those glasses were quite stylish on the marquis.
"For Mother, I bought you a popular perfume set in the city. Also, I bought you a new dress as well."
"Thank you, Sweetie!"
"I need to hand out to Carter and the rest," Keith had bought gifts for everyone in the estate. But as he was about to do that, he had been missing one person to whom he needed to give something.
"Where's May?" The girl was not there when he returned.
"Ahh, She's sleeping right now. We told her to go to bed." Sophia grinned.
"Okay," Keith nodded. After giving out all of his gifts, he headed to his room. But as he did so,
"Why are you guys following me?" Carolyn and Krystal were behind.
"Because it's fun!" "Mmhmm."
"We want to play!" Leon and Laura came with added emphasis.
"..." Keith took a deep sigh as he said so. As they entered his room,
"Young Master!" May was breathing raggedly. Not only that, but her hair was also a little unkempt, plus her clothing was loose.
“…”
"I'm sorry about not greeting you!"
"It's fine. And you should come here now," Keith had a frown as he said this.
"…Yes." May slowly walk before him. Krystal blinked, "Keith-" But Carolyn nudged her, telling her not to worry.
"Hair," Keith took out a comb and combed the woman's hair, "Didn't I tell you before that you can't come in like this. Appearance is important."
"…Yes." May's cheeks turned red.
"If you're going to be late, the best thing to do is be presentable." Keith sighed. There was no point in looking disheveled when you would be late for it.
"…Do you have a comb on you at all times?" Krystal blinked.
"Of course," Keith nodded, "It's because of that girl over there."
"Ehehe," Carolyn scratched her head.
"..." What did you do?
"I always have to carry one if she comes in with messy hair." Carolyn was one of those sleepy children who could walk into a room with spiked-up hair.
"It's gotten better." Academy life had helped her be prim and proper.
"Yeah, thankfully." After a few minutes of combing, May's hair had become straight. The last thing was to straighten out those clothes.
"Good." Keith nodded, "May, I see you have been working." One look and Keith could tell the girl had worked hard.
"Big brother! Me next!" Laura called out.
"Sure. But let me give my gift to May first."
"Eh?"
"Here's my return gift," Keith then presented a ring out.
"...Keith?" Carolyn blinked while Krystal gulped. You're giving a lady a ring?
"It's a storage ring," Keith chopped both of their heads, "I figured you should have something like this." She would probably need to bring many things around when she met people. Best she had a ring to store everything in.
"Young Master, this is too much!" A storage ring of this size would cost a lot of coins.
"No, it's not. You've been working so hard; you deserve it."
"Thank you so much." May held the ring close to her heart.
Leon and Laura then jumped up and down, "Big sister May, we also got things from Big Brother!" They started to show it off to the girl.
"They're all so beautiful." They all continued to talk with one another before they went to sleep.
