【Interlude Chapter 7】
I’m six years old now, so I have my own tastes.
I like dresses with strawberries or clouds on them. Those are cute.
But ducks… absolutely not.
I reluctantly turned my attention to Naiad’s gift.
Naturally, it was impeccable.
“Wow!”
A dress with actual aesthetic sense—I couldn’t be more delighted.
Two of my four older brothers clearly have good taste.
“Hmm, they’re both so pretty!”
“Either way, they’re both yours. Just pick which one’s your favorite.”
Elzen whispered affectionately.
I gazed intently at the snow-white dress and the pale green one.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Kings cast their votes too, and Naiad won by just a single vote.
[The Earth Spirit King ‘■’ sends enthusiastic applause.]
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ nods, agreeing that flowers are indeed lovely.]
Of course, the decision was mine to make, but honestly, I loved them both equally.
So I raised Naiad’s hand in victory.
“I’m so excited!”
“I’ll wear it well. Thank you.”
“When I get a vacation to Sineria next, let’s wear this. It’ll suit the place perfectly.”
“Okay!”
I wonder who’ll go to Sineria next year?
The Fate Spirit King would certainly know the answer.
But then it happened.
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ chuckles mischievously.]
[New places always bring new connections, after all.]
“Huh?!”
The Emotion Spirit King’s sudden appearance made my eyes go wide.
And what on earth does that cryptic remark mean?!
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ grins wickedly.]
[Maybe you’ll even get yourself a boyfriend!]
A boyfriend?!
My mouth fell open, then snapped shut.
A boyfriend, huh.
Father would be absolutely devastated if that happened!
‘Though I’m not completely uninterested. Just a tiny bit interested.’
[The Water Spirit King ‘Aurora’ laughs with an amused expression.]
[Watching Egon jump around would be entertaining too.]
Oh my, Mother.
Then I’d like to try making another male friend!
“Nooo! I thought this would work…!”
Mikard, who hadn’t been chosen, dropped to his knees and tore at his hair.
Iliad wore a similarly dejected expression.
I turned to both of them and spoke firmly.
“I’m six years old now, and a lady. I’m not wearing anything childish!”
I had to make this clear so they wouldn’t bring something like this again.
Perhaps there was demand for a cat one-piece dress with bells somewhere, but it certainly wasn’t from me.
“Well then, the victor is me.”
“Sigh.”
“Don’t forget about the ten-year wager.”
What was that supposed to mean?
As I tilted my head in confusion while listening to the Twins’ conversation, Elzen quietly explained.
“We made a bet to choose your dress for ten years. If you come in first, you get one point. After ten years, whoever has the most points….”
“Whoever?”
“Gets to choose the dress you’ll wear when you get married.”
What?
No, wait, hold on a moment.
Even if I am a six-year-old lady, marriage is still a long way off, isn’t it?
“It means whoever was chosen by you the most over ten years has the best eye for dresses that suit you. Statistically speaking.”
“W-well, that may be true, but….”
“Don’t worry. I lost this time, but I’ll keep winning from now on.”
So that’s why Elzen brought such a pure white dress?
At this point, I was growing curious myself.
A wedding dress for me, no less.
“Wait, but what if I don’t want to get married?”
I didn’t have to become someone’s spouse, after all.
“It doesn’t matter. The premise is ‘if you were to get married.’ If you don’t want to, you don’t have to.”
Naiad provided the clarification.
[The Water Spirit King, Aurora, is pleased.]
[They really do cherish our youngest.]
That’s right, Mother.
I can feel all of that affection.
Even Mikard brought strange clothes, but that’s a sign of his love. He wouldn’t do it otherwise.
‘Being loved like this is the best!’
Both dresses I chose were slightly too large for me now.
My older brothers had bought a size larger because they were thinking of what I’d wear when I went to Sineria next year.
[The Earth Spirit King ‘■’ whispers that such consideration is everything.]
Yes, when I grow up, I want to be someone who knows how to show consideration like my older brothers!

The grand banquet hall of the Fasayen Mansion was as expansive as the Imperial Palace’s ballroom.
When hosting a banquet, the nearby nobility had no choice but to attend—such was the prestige of Fasayen.
The ceiling was adorned with fabric in navy blue, representing Fasayen, and white, symbolizing sea foam.
Matching curtains hung gracefully, while silver bells and white dendrobiums added to the splendor.
The floor gleamed without a speck of dust, and a heavy carpet ran its length, flanked on both sides by elegant ship-shaped lamps.
“That’s the gift path,” Mikard said.
“The gift path?”
Mikard pointed to the blue carpet and explained to me.
“Yes. Family members carry their gifts for Grandfather along that path.”
“I see.”
My eyes were practically spinning with excitement.
Already, an enormous pile of gifts had accumulated beside the Household Master’s seat—presents sent ahead by nearby families.
“I’m curious—when does he open them?”
“I’m not sure. Grandfather usually opens just a few out of courtesy.”
“How disappointing!”
I was confident in my gift-unwrapping skills.
They should let me do it!
I suppressed my disappointment, though I couldn’t very well throw a tantrum about opening Grandfather’s gifts.
I was, after all, a proper six-year-old lady now.
“Oh, chocolate fondue!”
The children had arrived at the banquet hall earlier than the adults to learn how household events were conducted.
It was part of our domestic education.
At Fasayen, it was a rule that everyone—regardless of gender—had to understand what the servants and maids did and how they prepared to create such a magnificent banquet hall.
Because of this, we were able to watch the servants moving the enormous chocolate fondue.
“It looks delicious. I wonder if there are marshmallows too,” Mikard said, rubbing his palms together.
Elzen showed little interest, but the Twins and the other children’s eyes grew wide with delight.
After all, we couldn’t eat chocolate freely on ordinary days!
Our teeth would rot otherwise.
“What if we just tried a tiny bit?”
“The Butler will scold us if he finds out.”
“Hmm.”
“Young masters! Please refrain from such unbecoming conduct! He’d say something like that. We’d have to be as sneaky as possible….”
Iliad and Mikard put their heads together, scheming.
The Butler was Grandfather’s right hand and could scold the Fasayen children if they behaved in ways unbecoming of the household.
I’d never been scolded myself, though.
“Oh, it looks like preparations are wrapping up. We should go change into our formal attire.”
“Right, let’s do that.”
One hour before the banquet began.
The early guests would be arriving soon.
It’s about time the early guests start arriving.
We all shuffled back to our respective rooms, but not before I caught Mikard slipping a marshmallow skewer into the chocolate fondue in a flash.
Of course, I pretended not to see.
A lady must have honor, after all.
* * *
The Banquet Hall overflowed with such vibrant, exuberant melodies that it felt as though musical notes were cascading down like rain.
People smiled brightly and whispered among themselves—the gifts the Fasayen Family presented to the Household Master were, in truth, far more a topic of fascination for outsiders.
Something ingenious emerged every year, after all.
“That ship model from two years ago, for instance. Quite remarkable, wasn’t it? With whales floating in the sky.”
“Indeed. It was a custom-made magical toy. The very idea of presenting such a thing to the Household Master was amusing.”
“The Household Master does seem to rather enjoy receiving such curious objects.”
“I wonder what marvels will appear this year?”
Naturally, the Household Master did not play with toys.
What the Fasayen Household Master truly savored was the spark of ‘innovation’ itself.
