Reynold's mansion in the first-tier city of Catuta was even livelier. The servants dressed her up to the nines, making her look like a surrogate bride. However, it wasn't just for the sake of sending Reynold off to the Sea Hunt tomorrow. More importantly, it was Ayleen's birthday. After today, she would be twenty years old.
Ayleen was beautiful and adorable under her splendid attire. Aside from her black hair, she wore a purple muslin dress that accentuated her curves. She looked like a violet that had just bloomed, bashfully showing off her extraordinary beauty to the world.
Even the other girls were amazed by her beauty, let alone Reynold.
Reynolds didn't spread the news of Irene's birthday, and just celebrated it on his own. However, he had many female servants, and all of them were very lively and indulgent under the doting of Reynolds, who didn't have a strict concept of hierarchy. Two women were a play, and three women were a street. Reynolds had received at least 20 women, and including Helena and Aveena, it was like a lively market. It was lively enough.
Everyone gave Ayleen their blessings and gifts. Among them, Avina's most valuable gift was a Water Repellent Pearl. After wearing it, one's ability to move in water would be doubled. One could also breathe through one's pores. One could imagine how important it was to the people of the Sea Kingdom. The Water Repellent Pearl was formed after the death of a thousand-year-old water beast, the Ice Repellent Pearl. There were very few daemons that died of natural causes, and even fewer that could be turned into pearls.
Avina was a member of the dragon race. She was naturally good at swimming and could breathe underwater. The Water Repellent Pearl wasn't very useful to her, but it was generous of her to give away such a valuable treasure. She knew that by building a good relationship with Ayleen, she would indirectly win Reynold's heart. The dragon girl's wishful thinking was very good.
Of course, the sly Reynolds wouldn't fail to understand what she was thinking. But as the saying goes, if the family is harmonious, everything will prosper. Since Avina was so smart, she didn't need to be taught to understand this principle, which was even better.
In the elegant garden of the inner courtyard, all the servants and attendants of Renault's mansion were gathered together. In the center of the garden, there was a large six-layer cake on a round stone table. The rich aroma of butter mixed with the fragrance of the flowers in the garden made the cake even more attractive. Green agate fruits decorated the cake, and eleven small candles of different colors were emitting a beautiful light.
The cake was made completely according to Earth's method. It was the first of its kind in the World of Kings. The number of candles represented Ayleen's age. This ceremony was very unique to everyone. Even the knowledgeable Avina had never seen something like this before. She pinched Reynold's arm and said, "When it's my birthday, you have to make me a cake like this too." The more she interacted with Reynold, the more she realized that he had a lot of new tricks up his sleeves. For a dragon girl who liked strange things and was willing to spend a lot of money on useless things, the temptation was very strong. Unknowingly, Avina had gone from being willing to follow fate to being deeply attracted to Reynold.
Reynold was in pain from her pinch, but he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say." Avina was satisfied and let go of him. Reynold looked at the place where she pinched him and saw a red patch. The dragon girl's shortcomings were often cute in Reynold's eyes, but it was a pity that she liked to pinch people for no reason, and she didn't hold back either.
Looking at the party Reynold had prepared for her, Ayleen's excited face flushed red under the candlelight.
Reynold smiled and said, "Come, Ling 'er. Close your eyes and make a wish. If you can blow out all the candles in one breath, your wish will come true."
Ayleen said happily, "Dennis, really?" Although she still called Reynold that way, Avina already knew that they were not blood-related siblings.
Reynold nodded and said, "Really!" Ayleen closed her eyes and clasped her hands together with a smile. After more than ten seconds, she opened her eyes again. Then, she puffed out her cheeks and blew out all the candles on the cake.
Everyone cheered loudly. Although there weren't many people, the atmosphere was lively.
Reynold hugged her slender waist and said, "What did you wish for, Ling 'er?"
Ayleen glanced at Reynold and said, "Hmph, I'm not telling you!"
Avina interrupted, "Dennis, you miser, I don't think you've given Ayleen a gift yet, right?"
Ayleen was satisfied and helped Reynold out of the situation. "Dennis prepared this special cake for me. Isn't that the best gift?"
Reynold nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, I've already prepared it."
He took out a small crescent necklace from his pocket. The material was strange, orange, and translucent. Its smooth surface gave off an ancient feeling, but it was neither bright nor shiny.
Avina snorted and said, "What kind of gift is this? It's so shabby."
Reynold smiled and said, "This thing isn't very useful, but I've been wearing it since I was born. It's called Amber, also known as the Beast Soul. It was produced in ancient times and symbolizes purity and eternity. It's said that it can ward off evil and protect one's body. I'm not bragging, but you won't be able to find a second one in the entire continent. " On Earth, Amber was a fossil from a prehistoric pine tree. It had been formed for forty to sixty thousand years. It was a question whether the King's Realm had such a long history.
This was the only thing Reynold's mother had left him. However, on this day, he gave Ayleen his love, which showed how much he loved her.
Avina had also seen the amber necklace around Reynold's neck. She thought it was an ordinary ornament, but now she knew that it was something he had been wearing since he was born. It was very likely to be a family heirloom. Just this meaning alone was no small matter. It was more precious than any valuable or useful treasure, not to mention that there wouldn't be a second one in the entire continent. Avina, who had originally despised it, suddenly felt a little jealous.
Ayleen naturally knew the meaning of this unremarkable necklace. She was so excited that she didn't know what to say. Reynold unbuckled the necklace and put it on the girl's swan-like white jade neck. "Happy birthday, Ayleen!" He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when the amber came into contact with Ayleen's body, it suddenly flashed like a light bulb. However, it was almost undetectable.
Just when Reynold thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, Ayleen's kiss fell on his lips. The touched girl had let go of her reservations and boldly expressed her love in front of other girls.
Adulthood meant a lot of things. It seemed that he could do more things that he couldn't do before.
Reynold was drunk. This time, he was really drunk. He had drunk at least two jars of the "Hundred Men Fall" that Avina had stolen from the Dragon King's Treasury. Even an iron man would fall down. He was so happy that he couldn't control himself. He had witnessed Ayleen grow from a weak little girl with no fighting ability to survive to the powerful and confident spirit envoys she was today. He was very gratified. At the same time, he was also glad that he didn't use the Fleeting Time given by Randolph in the wrong place.
