Harrison approached his wife and asked,
“What is all of this?’
“Honey!”
His wife looked delighted. She stopped what she was doing and glanced to the side.
“I was preparing for our child’s birthday in the morning, and then the man right there, that one, led the people here. I didn’t even know what he was doing, but then he said that they were all sent by Roman Dmitry, and then everything turned into a ss as they were preparing the party before I knew it.”
“Roman Dmitry’s people?”
He looked at where his wife was watching. One man was leading the people. Roman was the na of the man his father served, but he still couldn’t understand what was happening.
‘Why would Young Master Roman send so people?’
It was his daughter’s birthday. Harrison approached the man, curious as to why they were there.
“… excuse , did Young Master Roman send you?”
“Ah!? Mr. Harrison?”
“Yes, I am Harrison. So, may I ask, why are you organizing the party for my daughter?”
He was being cautious, just like when dealing with the Adelian family. Being with the Dmitry family made him wary.
And the man said,
“I am Lucas, and I serve Young Master Roman. You don’t have to be that cautious with . It isn’t like there are any special reasons, but Young Master Roman sent and the others to repay the services that Mr. Hans provided. So why don’t you leave the party arrangents to us? This party isn’t just a celebration for your daughter, but it will be of great help to Mr. Harrison as you continue to live in the Adelian estate.”
“… I do not understand. This doesn’t seem like a normal situation.”
Roman and Hans. Their relationship was that of a noble and a servant. Even after hearing this long explanation, Harrison couldn’t accept this, as nobles never cared for their servants.
“I fully understand what you are feeling. It is just a simple matter. Young Master Roman, my Lord, values Mr. Hans very much. Maybe this is a feeling that has accumulated for a long ti. That’s why he didn’t send us in the hopes of receiving sothing in return. He has planned this event purely with the intention of celebrating your daughter’s birthday. Haven’t you heard about the Lord from your father? Mr. Hans is a man who deserves this kind of treatnt.”
He was bewildered. Soone worthy? The words stuck in his head, and Harrison felt strange.
‘To think Roman Dmitry values my father.’
This was unexpected. People have been talking about how Roman Dmitry has changed recently, but Hans’s son, Harrison, couldn’t forget how insane that man was.
The trash. Harrison’s friends would often tease Hans for serving such a madman. Harrison, who had a good childhood under his father’s care, didn’t like to see his father following Roman. He rembered how Roman Dmitry was often drunk and screaming, and how his father looked exhausted.
So he wanted to succeed, and after graduating from the academy and starting his own business, his life changed. The man who was called the son of a servant was now a boss.
It was still the sa. He still had to bow down to others, but right now, it felt like he had managed to escape his past.
And now he is favored by Roman. But not a single good mory would pop up in his mind.
‘The days when Roman Dmitry was called an idiot. My father said that he was just a bit different because he went through sothing he couldn’t handle and that he was a good child at heart. I denied it and called Roman Dmitry an ungrateful man, and I thought my father’s efforts were all aningless no matter how much the man’s behavior changed. But now, Roman Dmitry sent people for the sake of my father.’
He felt like crying. His father’s efforts weren’t in vain. The fact that Roman Dmitry directly expressed his gratitude made Harrison smile.
“… saying we deserve to be treated like this. Such good words.”
A good child at heart, he was now taking his father’s words seriously.
Harrison allowed the party to be arranged by the others. Lucas told him to leave everything in his hands, and at his command, people were organizing and preparing the party.
There was still a little ti left before the party. However, the guests arrived earlier than the scheduled ti.
“Wow.”
“What the hell is this?!”
“Did we co to the right place?”
The guests were shocked. An outdoor party? They all looked around, surprised and intrigued by this party, which looked like it was hosted by a noble family. If they didn’t see Harrison, they would have thought that they were in the wrong place.
Harrison explained the situation. He didn’t know until this morning that Roman Dmitry had sent soone to prepare everything. And at those words, everyone looked at each other. Anyone who lived a good social life would know what it ant.
‘Roman Dmitry sent people for the sake of Harrison’s father?’
‘Since when did they have such a strong nobleman behind them? Damn it. If I had known it would be like this, I would have prepared a nice present for his daughter. No, why is their close relationship with Roman Dmitry only revealed now?’
They once heard from Harrison about his relationship with Roman. So they didn’t think they had a good relationship, but if Roman arranged a party for his daughter, then things seed different.
“… I am going to go sowhere for a while.”
“I left the present back ho.”
The guests slowly turned away. They needed a gift. Now that it’s been revealed that Harrison had such connections, his position isn’t as common as it used to be.
There was an uproar. Guests arrived one after another, and all of them were shocked. Since they were all commoners, Roman’s involvent at the party was shocking.
And it was almost ti. By the ti the preparations for the party ended, everyone’s eyes were focused on one place.
Chak!
The sound of steady steps. The soldiers of the Adelian family approached the party. And if only it were just them, Harrison wouldn’t be so shocked.
“… Father?!”
Right in the center was Hans. Harrison’s father was being escorted by the soldiers of Adelian.
Hans rode the wagon and arrived at the Adelian estate. He thought he was treated too well for a man traveling alone, but as soon as he arrived, the guards of Adelian welcod him.
“We were waiting for you!”
The guard captain. He had received a special order from the Count—escort Hans to where he needed to go. Even though it wasn’t Roman’s request, Count Adelian sent so people.
“You don’t have to do this much.”
Hans naturally refused. It was his granddaughter’s party. She was the main character for today, and he had no intention of stealing the spotlight. But….
“Please, please know that if we don’t escort you, sir, our Count will be angry. We do not ask for much. Just let us lead the way until we get you to the party.”
The captain asked him with a desperate face. Was it sympathy? Knowing what it ant to follow an order, Hans couldn’t turn him down, so he arrived at the party with them.
As surprised as the guests were, Hans was also at a loss for words at the party.
“Huh?”
The sight in front of him was luxurious. He was just planning a modest party, and this was far too colorful and elegant for what he had in mind.
At that mont, he heard classical music being played. The fact that musicians were playing instrunts here for his granddaughter ant one thing…
‘… Young Master.’
He was sure that this was Roman Dmitry’s doing. Roman Dmitry, who was supposed to send Hans to the party, had prepared a wagon in advance and so people to organize the party.
Tears flowed as he witnessed the lavish party that Roman Dmitry had prepared for the single servant who served him. Seriously, he was such a good child. People said Roman had beco cold after changing, but Hans knew he was warr than ever.
The sore sight of the Dmitry family. From the standpoint of soone who had raised a son, Hans found it difficult to see the child who had been trampled by others. And caring for him turned out to be the best decision he had ever made.
‘I am getting too old.’
His eyes were red. He wiped his tears as he found a familiar face.
“Father!”
His one and only son, Harrison.
As he was approaching him,
“Son!”
Hans gave him a broad smile and hugged him tightly.
The party was going well. Delicious food, good people, and good music. Anyone would be happy. In particular, those who were invited couldn’t stop smiling at this.
“Now, we will take the ti and open the presents.”
Harrison said.
He and his wife ca forward with their six-year-old daughter. The initial plan was to open just four to five presents, but now there were dozens of gifts piled up.
“The first gift is the one prepared by my father.”
On behalf of his daughter, who was too young to open it, Harrison opened the box. And inside was a beautiful doll, which his daughter smiled at and hugged.
“This is such a beautiful doll. My daughter had begged to buy it every day, but it seems that my father knew about it and prepared it. Thank you very much. I feel like today is a special day for my father.”
Hans smiled at his son’s words.
Opening presents was a tradition in Cairo. And after Hans’s present was opened, other gifts were opened one after another, revealing modest but heartfelt gifts.
But Harrison, who was about to open another gift, was a bit shocked.
“T-This…”
It was a small box, but the content was shocking.
“This is a gift from Viscount Conrad. Ruby… it seems like a ring. Such a gift, I am not sure what to say.”
Whisper.
“Viscount Conrad?”
“Why would a noble send a present to a commoner?”
The people were shocked at this. They could understand Roman Dmitry, but Viscount Conrad was too much. The problem was…
“Count Adelian’s gift.”
“Viscount Lawrence’s gift.”
Gifts were revealed with the most unexpected nas and gorgeous appearances. The nobles in the northeast sent extravagant gifts worthy of their status as nobles, and everyone’s eyes went wide.
Actually, they couldn’t be considered gifts for the small child, but rather gifts to Harrison and an affectionate gesture to Hans.
Everyone lost their minds. The grand party alone was enough to surprise them, but the gifts were too much for them to take in. The series of events was sothing they couldn’t understand.
‘Why are those proud nobles sending gifts to Harrison?’
The people didn’t know that six hours ago, the nobles of the northeast region fought a full-blown war because of one piece of news.
