Nineteenth Birthday

 "You don't need to do this, Tuskan. This is really unnecessary, you have a lot of documents to work on today, right?" Aster pulled Tuskan's sleeve. Although he couldn't see, he could hear the maids entering his room and loud chatters filled his room. They were preparing for his birthday today.

"What do you mean unnecessary?" Tuskan frowned, he had been busy planning Aster's birthday in this room. It would be attended by only two people, Tuskan and Mariette. But this was the least that he could do, because Aster turned nineteen today.

"You don't have to do this, my guests would only be you and Mariette anyway," Aster said. Tuskan sighed and continued ordering the maids around for the decoration. It took four hours until everything was ready, and the cake was brought to the room. It was a tall, three-levels cake befitting for a high aristocrat birthday.
