Chapter 310 (2/2)

“I heard that you wanted something white, warm and sweet. Is that right? We’ve got them for you.”

“Pardon?”

There were gift boxes piled up in the corner of the training center, with the knights looking at me nervously.

I alternately watched dozens of packages and the knights staring fiercely at each other. Are these all gifts?

“Please open them, my lady!”

“Really? Ah yes. Thank you, everyone. ”

As if there were only something ”white, warm and sweet,’ the types of gifts in the boxes were very diverse.

A white fox fur shawl, women’s gloves woven from white lace, white silk handkerchiefs that looked very soft, cakes with white fresh cream and all kinds of sugar cookies, and many more.

After I opened them all, the knights surrounding me while I was unpacking the box opened their mouths one by one.

“Which one is your favorite?”

“Pardon? Well…”

“I think you like mine best. A scarf may be white and warm, but it’s not sweet, right? ”

“What are you talking about? Isn’t it a warm and sweet white handkerchief? You can eat a white cake, and that’s it. But you can keep using it.”

I got dumbfounded, watching them having a quarrel over their gifts. When I was standing quietly without responding, Allendis carefully grabbed my wrist and pulled me gently.

Muffling our footsteps, he and I slipped out of the training field. When I finally entered the reception room nearby, my heart that was pounding fast finally came back to normal.

It looked like they overheard my conversation with Allendis a little while ago, but I wonder how they could bring all those gifts in such a short time.

When I thought they must have been running around to obtain the gifts all morning, a smile came to my lips naturally. Somehow I felt comforted warmly, so I put a white chocolate in my mouth, when I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

“This is Lina, my lady. May I come in?”

“Yes, you can come in.”

She was holding something big in her hand when she came into the drawing room. She looked at me with an expectant expression after handing it to me.

“What is this, Lina?”

“It’s cotton candy, my lady.”

“Cotton candy?”

“Yes, I hear you said you liked something white, warm and sweet. This is the masterpiece of the butler, chief chef and the house staff!”

“What? Masterpiece? ”

I was just speechless at that. Obviously, it was a little conversation between me and Allendis. How many were there who overheard it?

As I reacted feebly, she said with a smile, “They made it by pulling it like a white thread from melted sugar, then rolling it around a stick. Doesn’t it look warm like a cotton ball? It’s white, sweet and warm as you wish!”

“I see.”

“Please try it once. Come on.”

“Sure…Oh, this one is also sweet. Thanks, Lina. Please tell everyone that I would like to thank them.”

“How about it, my lady? Isn’t this what you wanted?”

I hesitated for a moment. How should I reply? She said everyone in my house put all their efforts into making it. In that respect, I could not reply in the negative.

Well, I could simply say she was right, but I felt like I would be in big trouble if I gave her a misleading reply. I knew I was put on the spot because of Allendis and the knights.

So, I hesitated, not knowing what to do, when I saw somebody entering the reception room.

I stood up, gladly welcoming the appearance of the unexpected ally.

“Hi, Daddy! There was a little disturbance because of me this morning. Sorry.”

“How are you, Marquis Monique!”

“Nice to see you, Verita Jr. Oh, that’s fine, Tia. I can understand that as your father. By the way…”

“Pardon?”

“I heard that you wanted something white, warm and sweet. Why didn’t you tell me if you wanted something?”

“…”

Returning Allendis’ greetings half-heartedly, he showed some regrets to me immediately.

I smiled awkwardly at my father who felt a bit upset. But I was so dejected as to respond now.

“I’ve been thinking a lot about what you wanted, but I could not figure it out. I hope this is what you wanted. ”

It was tea leaves that he gave me. The long tea leaves in a small box were slightly silvery, unlike the typical ones.

Wow, it’s white tea, which tasted bitter first, then sweet.

“Thank you so much, Daddy.”

When I carefully put aside the small box, I could feel everyone around me looking at me intensely. Not only my father but also Allendis, the butler, Lina and Sir League, who I didn’t even know came into the drawing room, were staring at me.
