Gifting

The next day after Rebeccsan's birthday, we were taken by Matthias-san to the castle.

""What we doing~?""

"N?"

""Baking bread~?""

"No, no. We haven't come today to bake bread."

Speaking of what we came for today, it's to give the pearl accessories to Grace-sama and Aurorsama.

"We are here today to hand over the gifts to Grace-sama and Aurorsama."

""I see~""

Although I say that, there's a high probability that the royal family would want to award us with a suitable amount of cash, so it's very hard to call them strictly "presents."

I'm told that… the n.o.bility cannot receive gifts from the n.o.bility without a proper reason. That's because even if we don't even think about it, it might look like we are trying to bribe them to others.

Therefore, it might be correct to say that we are going there for "high-pressure salesmanship."

"Sorry, have we made you wait?"

Immediately after Matthias-san and I were taken to the parlor, the King-Queen couple and the Crown Prince-Crown Princess couple entered.

"Not at all, thank you very much for making time for us, Your Majesty."

"No problem."

Matthias-san gave the greetings to the four as our representative.

"And so, what's the matter? You had Grace and Aurora accompany us as well."

"Yes, we have something we would like Her Majesty and Her Highness to accept."

"Hou~"

Hearing Matthias-san's words, Tristan-sama glanced at me for some reason.

"Since you are together, it means that Tak.u.mi did something again, no? So, what have you done this time?"

"……"

Tristan-sama advanced the conversation while a.s.suming that I did something from the beginning.

"Fufu. Dear, you don't have to speak like that since the very beginning~"

"That's right, Father. You are making Tak.u.mi-dono uncomfortable."

Grace-sama and Austin-sama defended me immediately after hearing Tristan-sama's words, however—

"No, His Majesty's words aren't wrong."

"See?"

"Oh my~?"

Matthias-san sided with His Majesty.

I somehow can't accept that the matter with the pearls is something I have to feel guilty about, but it would become more complicated if I spoke up here, so I decided to hold my tongue behind my mouth.

"I think it would be faster to show you the articles we would like you to accept first."

Saying that, Matthias-san handed over the box containing the pearl accessories.

"Hmm. Let's have a look then."

"Father, I will-"

Austin-sama received the box on behalf of the four royal family members and opened the lid. Then——

"What the h.e.l.l is this!?"

"This is…"

""My!""

All four of them raised their voice with surprise.

"These are pearls. I have not seen pearls this magnificent ever before!"

"This is my first time seeing pearls of such neat shapes. Also, I have never thought of ever witnessing colored pearls in my life."

"How wonderful articles these are~"

"Yes, truly."

Tristan-sama and Austin-sama observed the pearls while not believing their eyes, while Grace-sama and Aurorsama looked at the jewelry, spellbound.
