<span style="font-weight:400">"..." William and Sophia could only shake their heads. The fourth son was spoiling them rotten. He wasn''t done with gift-giving; it was time for the others.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"For Eric, I bought you an enchanted sword as well. It can extend and shorten its length."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"It got heft to it," Herrick swung the sword back and forth, impressed by the weight.
<span style="font-weight:400">"For Derek, I got you these twin swords."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sweet!"
<span style="font-weight:400">The two''s eyes glimmered at the swords. But while they did so, William and Sophia could only blink. The equipment didn''t seem cheap at all. All of them were definitely expensive.
<span style="font-weight:400">"For Alvin, I got you this staff. It can enhance wind, water, lightning, and fire. Also, this was not only from me."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" Alvin tilted his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"This is something made from Hazel," Keith grinned, "She sends you her regards."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah! She was the one who made it?" Alvin''s eyes brightened.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hazel?" Sophia''s ears also peeked, "Mind exining to me who that is?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh, she''s a ssmate I tutored and helped out during my academy years. She''s quite hardworking and has a talent for making magical equipment. She told me she would stay in the city to work under a famous store."
<span style="font-weight:400">Alvin stared at the staff, "To think she would make such a beautiful staff. And it''s also tailored to me as well. What are the odds?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Odds? Are you really saying something like that? Sophia then questioned, "Alvin, what does Hazel do for you during sses?"
<span style="font-weight:400">The moment she asked, a groan came from Eric''s, not Alvin''s, mouth.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? Just the normal things. But whenever she had extra things like wands, stones, and other materials, she would give them to me."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Everyone looked at one another before a deep sigh came out.
<span style="font-weight:400">Poor Hazel.
<span style="font-weight:400">"When she has the time, you should invite her over to her." Sophia wanted to see the woman herself.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I think she''s having a difficult time right now. Let''s not bother her." Alvin waved.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Brother, she would go heaven and earth for you. Those eyes as she talked about Alvin said it all.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"For father, I bought you these sses. I tried them on, and they help out with eye strains."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you." Those sses were quite stylish on the marquis.
<span style="font-weight:400">"For Mother, I bought you a popr perfume set in the city. Also, I bought you a new dress as well."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you, Sweetie!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I need to hand out to Carter and the rest," Keith had bought gifts for everyone in the estate. But as he was about to do that, he had been missing one person to whom he needed to give something.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Where''s May?" The girl was not there when he returned.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh, She''s sleeping right now. We told her to go to bed." Sophia grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay," Keith nodded. After giving out all of his gifts, he headed to his room. But as he did so,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why are you guys following me?" Carolyn and Krystal were behind.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Because it''s fun!" "Mmhmm."
<span style="font-weight:400">"We want to y!" Leon and Laura came with added emphasis.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith took a deep sigh as he said so. As they entered his room,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Young Master!" May was breathing raggedly. Not only that, but her hair was also a little unkempt, plus her clothing was loose.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…”
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m sorry about not greeting you!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s fine. And you shoulde here now," Keith had a frown as he said this.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…Yes." May slowly walk before him. Krystal blinked, "Keith-" But Carolyn nudged her, telling her not to worry.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hair," Keith took out ab andbed the woman''s hair, "Didn''t I tell you before that you can''te in like this. Appearance is important."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…Yes." May''s cheeks turned red.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"If you''re going to bete, the best thing to do is be presentable." Keith sighed. There was no point in looking disheveled when you would bete for it.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…Do you have ab on you at all times?" Krystal blinked.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course," Keith nodded, "It''s because of that girl over there."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ehehe," Carolyn scratched her head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." What did you do?
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I always have to carry one if shees in with messy hair." Carolyn was one of those sleepy children who could walk into a room with spiked-up hair.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s gotten better." Academy life had helped her be prim and proper.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah, thankfully." After a few minutes ofbing, May''s hair had be straight. Thest thing was to straighten out those clothes.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Good." Keith nodded, "May, I see you have been working." One look and Keith could tell the girl had worked hard.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Big brother! Me next!" Laura called out.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure. But let me give my gift to May first."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Here''s my return gift," Keith then presented a ring out.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Keith?" Carolyn blinked while Krystal gulped. You''re giving ady a ring?
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s a storage ring," Keith chopped both of their heads, "I figured you should have something like this." She would probably need to bring many things around when she met people. Best she had a ring to store everything in.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Young Master, this is too much!" A storage ring of this size would cost a lot of coins.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"No, it''s not. You''ve been working so hard; you deserve it."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you so much." May held the ring close to her heart.
<span style="font-weight:400">Leon and Laura then jumped up and down, "Big sister May, we also got things from Big Brother!" They started to show it off to the girl.
<span style="font-weight:400">"They''re all so beautiful." They all continued to talk with one another before they went to sleep.
