12th birthday party (1)

Time passed and it was Yuno’s 12th birthday.

The breakfast prepared by Empress Yuria, who came into the kitchen and ordered various things, was extravagantly extravagant, unlike usual.

Although Yuria had a frugal personality and did not like fancy meals, she did not spend her children’s birthdays that way, and especially since it was the birthday of her beloved son, she had no choice but to be extravagant.

“Our Yuno~ Happy birthday~ Mom worked really hard to prepare this breakfast, so you should enjoy it, right? The actual birthday party will be held at the banquet hall, but the mother really wanted to prepare a table for her son’s birthday”

In the Balkan countries, children are treated as grown-up teenagers from the age of 12, and from then on, they can appear on the social stage, so the 12th birthday is a very important event.

“Mom, I’ve prepared a nice birthday present for my son, so are you looking forward to it? I’ll give it to you after breakfast!”

When Yuria lightly kissed Yuno’s cheek, Isabella and Marie saw it and ran over.

“I will give you a birthday present too~ My birthday present is your affectionate kiss~ Chuu”

“I’ll give you a kiss too, oppa~ Chuu~”

“Sister Isabella! number of animals! I don’t need a birthday present like that, right?”

Yuno happily received her mother’s kiss, but was busy pushing away her older sister and younger sister who were kissing her cheek indiscriminately.

However, Isabella and Marie ignored Yuno’s resistance and kept kissing her as they held her in their arms. Yuno, who thought that her older sister and younger sister might get hurt if she really pushed them away, ended up having to accept their kisses.

Yuno, who lightly kissed her older sister on the forehead in return, looked at Eliza who was standing next to her.

“Why? Why are you looking at me like that? Can you give me a kiss too?”

“…. No, I was asking if you had any presents… That’s it”

Even though she said that, after breakfast, Eliza caught Yuno, who was going to get her mother’s birthday present, and gave her something.

“Now! here! You gave me a present for my 12th birthday last month, right? But I guess I didn’t even prepare a gift for you?”

Yuno looked at Eliza blankly at the unexpected gift.

“Don’t sit still and solve it quickly. It’s a gift I prepared with great care”

At Eliza’s torch, Juno opened the gift box and inside was a pair of shining bracelets.

“This bracelet is…?”

“Hehehe, a few days ago, you had the opportunity to go out of the palace for a short time at the invitation of your head of intelligence, right? I bought one then. When I said I wanted to stop by a magic tool store for a moment, the driver who escorted me said it would be okay if it was only for a short time and went with me”

“Magic tool?”

“It’s a bracelet with a weight control magic. They said that if you shout ‘weight control’ and tell them the weight you want, you can adjust it from 1kg to 200kg. Not many people would use this type of product, so it wouldn’t sell, but the store owner would charge a high price for it. If it wasn’t for the driver, I would have been ripped off… Wow!!”

“Eliza!! thank you!!! This is a really, really helpful gift!! love you! Eliza!!”

Yuno was so grateful that she hugged Eliza tightly and even told her that she loved her. Of course, Yuno’s meaning of loving her was that she loved her as a family, but from Eliza’s perspective, that wasn’t what she meant, so Eliza’s face turned bright red.

“ㄴ..you…what does that mean…”

“Ugh! I have to go because my mom is waiting for me. I will treasure this so much~ Even though being at the knights’ training center wasn’t enough stimulation, wow~!”

Eliza looked in the direction where Yuno had disappeared with a blank face.

‘Uuuu!! I love you! It’s against the rules to say that with that face!! bad guy…’

Of course, Eliza knew that when Yuno said she loved him, she meant that she was very grateful.

However, the destructive power of Yuno’s handsome face saying ‘I love you’ was greater than she expected, so Eliza held on to her pounding heart for a while.

Then, he touched the necklace that Yuno had given him on his 12th birthday, the necklace that had never come off her neck since receiving it as a gift.

“Mom~ I’m here~”

“Yuno, go over there. Hoho Madeleine? Please take Yuno and change her clothes”

When Yuno entered the empress’ room, Yuria was waiting with many maids.

“Huh? mom? hey? uh..? Huh?”

“Your Majesty, this way”

Juno, who was forcibly taken by Madeleine, the empress’s maid-in-waiting, and many other maids, looked at the tailcoat in front of him.

“Madeleine… is this?”

“Today is Your Highness’s 12th birthday, so shouldn’t you participate in the ball starting today? This is an outfit made by Empress Mama after much effort by inviting the best designer in the empire”

“Ha~ These clothes are uncomfortable…”

Even though she sighed, she couldn’t refuse the clothes her mother had prepared for her birthday, so Yuno wore a tailcoat while being waited on by the maids.

“Huh? It’s more comfortable than you think, right?”

The tailcoat prepared by Yuria looked very sophisticated but was also quite comfortable to wear.

“The Empress ordered the use of a fabric mixed with rubber, a newly developed material, to accurately fit Her Majesty’s body size, making it comfortable to wear”

The monochromatic tailcoat with a pattern made of gold embroidery thread, excluding unnecessary jewelry, went well with Yuno’s blonde hair, giving Yuno a stylish combination of age-old charisma and childlike cuteness.

When Juno went out dressed in a tailcoat, Isabella, Marie, and Eliza all came in, and they were all shocked at Juno’s outfit.

“Oh my god, are you Yuno? I knew my younger brother was handsome, but this…”

“Oppa, you won’t be able to go to the prom for a year. Wait until Marie turns 12… all kinds of firefoxes will come rushing in to seduce her brother. Should I wait until Mari can protect me?”

Taaak

“Mari, do you want to keep talking nonsense to your brother? If you keep doing that, your mom will scold you! It’s good if a lot of girls follow you! Don’t you think that’s how Yuno can choose the true sex partner?”

“Ssiing~ Oppa, you can’t get married! Marie is going to be my brother’s bride!!”

Taaak

“Marie! You scolded your mom, right? And your mom always told you to be careful with your speech, right?”

As Mari was scolding Yuria, Yuno stopped her by hugging Yuria.

“Mom. This is a gift I really like. I thought I would never be able to wear these clothes because they were uncomfortable… hehehe thank you so much mom”

Yuno smiled brightly as she expressed her gratitude to Yuria. At the same time, Yuria’s heart was pounding.

As her son, who had grown taller than her for a long time, smiled with that handsome face and hugged her tightly with his large chest, Yuria instinctively felt her uterus tremble and the woman inside her body who had been dead for more than 10 years awakening.

‘Ugh… am I really excited because I was hugged by Yuno? it’s crazy! it’s crazy! Probably not… Even if it’s true, it shouldn’t be… Yuno is my most precious son.’

Yuria, who denied herself, fell from Yuno’s arms and complimented Yuno as if she was nothing, saying that she suits Yuno so well.

“What if my son is so handsome that he becomes very popular with the noble ladies at the ball today? Huhuhu”

“Mom, my eldest daughter Isabella will protect my son, so don’t worry, Mom. Ahem!”

“Tch… Mari will stick close to her brother from next year”

While Yuria, Isabella, and Marie were in a daze, Eliza also looked at Yuno with blank eyes for a while, then came to her senses and looked away.

But her heart continued to pound and she glanced at Yuno with an angry expression.

‘You look so cool dressed up like that. Bad guy … dog … I heard my heart all the time and put it on it all the time.

However, since Yuno could not know Eliza’s feelings, Eliza had to shed tears internally due to her heartbreaking young love.

That evening. Yuno headed to the banquet hall of the main palace with a somewhat excited heart.

Yuno, the star of today’s party, arrived a little later and walked down the corridors of the imperial palace, as it was customary to arrive a little later and enter with cheers.

Even though it had been a while since the banquet began, many nobles and ladies were waiting to enter the hallway. When they were slightly surprised and bowed to Yuno, Yuno, who was a little nervous, hardened her expression.

‘Whew~ I shouldn’t make a mistake and cause trouble to my mom…’

Yuno, who was greeting the nobles and heading to the waiting room, was stopped by someone’s voice coming from behind.

“Yunoni? Oh my! When did you get so tall? It’s been a while since I last saw you, and the person looks completely different? Huhuhu”

When Yuno turned her head, there was First Princess Diane.

Diane became an old maid because she rarely entered the palace and did not marry. However, because she was the best alchemist leading the empire’s alchemy, even the emperor could not freely marry her off.

“Ah… Sister Diane? Long time no see”

“Ugh, are you telling me to take it easy on my sister? My sister is really sad that our cute Yuno was so hard on her. Black black black ”

‘How can I be comfortable with my sister who is older than my mother~!!’

“Hahaha… I also want to be comfortable with you, but… I’m scared of Brother Heinrich…”

“What? My brother? Don’t worry, Yuno. If my sister meets Heinrich, she will kill him halfway, so Juno doesn’t have to worry about that and just rests comfortably in her arms. Hehe”

At the same time, Diane hugged Yuno and lowered Yuno’s face, rubbing it against her large breasts.

“Wubububububunnim! Whoop whoop…I’m suffocating”

“Hehehe, it’s okay, it’s okay. Will my sister give me some steam? If Yuno wants, my sister can develop an elixir to produce milk and feed it to Yuno”

‘Oh, that’s a bit… no, no… I’m single-mindedly focused on being a mom.’

Although Yuno was slightly attracted to her, Yuno held back for her mother and forced herself out of Diane’s arms, opened the door to the waiting room, and went in.

Diane touched the door where Yuno had disappeared and whispered softly.

“Our Yuno is all grown up? Haha haha… In just a few years, Yuno can be mine… Ah… I’m a bad boy who fell in love with my older sister from the first time I saw her… One day, let’s spend eternity in my older sister’s arms. Yunoya hehehe”

If Yuno had heard, she would have been scared and ran away, but unfortunately or fortunately, Yuno couldn’t hear her little monologue.
