1 Year Old

Today I was woken up at 4 in the morning. I feel like I was asleep the whole time while they are preparing me for my birthday banquet. First, I have taken a bath and I think I was soaked in a mix of roses and essential oils. Then they treated my hair with I think this world's equivalent to a conditioner.

But this one smells great. I will ask Rhyia about how to make it maybe I can gain some pocket money. Ha! Ha! You know, even though I am spoiled by the family, I cannot take to not make the money I earned.

Maybe I will prepare my business plans.

After the bath and hair treatment, they dressed me. My dress is a cute chiffon blue dress with ruffles on the hem. There are pearls attach to my neckline. It was paired with cute blue crystal shoes. When I looked at the mirror, I was dazed by myself.

I touched my face.

Is this me?

"I think the little lady fell in love with her face," Rhyia said to Aunt Hilda.

"Our little miss is simply gorgeous."

I pulled Aunt Hilda's hands and touch my tummy. I'm hungry! What time will I eat? The banquet will start late afternoon and I haven't even have taken my breakfast.

"Rhyia, tell Chef Jameson that the little miss is hungry. Let him prepare a meal."

"Of course Aunt Hilda. Wait for me to miss I will be back."

Mother suddenly entered my room.

"Are you hungry, little Evie? I just meet Rhyia and she told me you want to eat."

"Evie. Hungry." I said.

"Well, you woke up early so you have to eat to replenish your energy."

"Father where?" I asked.

"Your father and brothers are getting ready. You eat first and we will join them later after you finish."

Rhyia returned with my breakfast. It was my favorite breakfast. When I was 11 months, I requested them to cook me a breakfast composed of egg, bacon, 2 pieces of toasted bread with butter and milk. A standard western breakfast.

Well, I think this is heavy enough until the banquet. I will just have some snacks later.

After I finished eating, my mother brought me to my father who is still at his study signing some papers.

"Father!" I run to him.

"Hello, my dear Evie. Happy birthday!"

"Thank you." I kissed and hugged him.

"Happy birthday, my dear Evie." Mother kissed my cheek.

"Thank you, mother." I kissed her cheek as well.

"Brothers?" I asked dad.

"Your brothers are preparing their presents for you," Father said.

"Little Evie, mom will give you this necklace. I received this necklace from your grandmama."

Mother pulled a box and gave it to me.

When I opened the box, I saw a diamond necklace with a red ruby in its center.

"This is given to female descendants of Glimmercrest. Now I am going to pass it to you."

"Well, your mother has given her gift, so I will also give mine." Father also pulled something from his drawer.

When I opened the box, it was a key. Why would father give me a key?

"This key will open the things my mother left for her granddaughter. Your brothers also have their own, and I have given it to them on their first birthday. But it was hidden by your mother until they can understand. It depends on you whether you want your mother to keep it for now." Father explained.

I gave the key to my mother. Maybe when I will become a bit older. I will open what grandmother has given me.
