Just a Cannon Fodder

Chapter 21

"Young miss." Kelly shrugged me off.

I opened half of my eyes and discovered that it was already morning.

"...What's going on Kelly?" I asked in a hoarse voice.

I got up from the bed and stretched my limbs.

"It's the day of lady Sabrina's birthday." She said.

"...What time does it start again?"

"The letter said it starts at 6 pm." Kelly replied.

"Hmm. Let's buy some gift for her then."

Kelly helped me dress up for a momentary outing and I asked permission to go out.

As usual, Justin and Kelly came with me.

We went to a gift shop and I wandered around for a moment to see what kind of accessory suits the birthday girl.

After glancing around, I saw one that caught my eye.

"Excuse me, how much is this?" I asked.

"Oh, you have good eyes young lady. That one's very rare. It costs a thousand gold."

'One thousand gold?...I guess it's a worthy gift.'

"I'll take this then. Please wrap it prettily." I said.

"Of course young lady."

Even though I know that she'll either use or throw this, I still need to bring my pride as a noble with me.

At the Seymour Estate...

"My lady." Justin stopped for a moment.

"What's wrong Justin? They said that escorts are alllowed inside. So don't worry." I said.

His face brightened the moment I said that.

"Invitation please." The person in front of the door said.

"Here." I gave him the card.

He received the card and nods. "You may come in. Please enjoy." He said as he bowed.

I just nodded and went straight inside.

When we got inside, the insides looked more luxurious than the first time I got here.

Thr pink-haired villainess then went towards us.

"I greet you a happy birthday Lady Sabrina. Thank you for inviting this person from a humble nobility." I curtsied.

"Oh my, I'm thankful that you came Lady Moriana." She said.

"I brought my gift for you. I hope it suits your taste." I said.

She opened the box and saw a rare jeweled hairpim.

It contained ruby and the craftmanship was very detailed.

"Oh my, thank you so much Lady Moriana. Can I wear this now?"

"Of course. It really suits your pink locks."

She pinned it to her hair and she looked wickedly beautiful.

"Wow, you really look beautiful Lady Sabrina."

"Oh my, where did you get that hairpin my lady?"

"That really suits your hair color Lady Sabrina!"

Complements started showering her one by one.

"Then, I hope you enjoyed the gift I gave you Lady Sabrina." I said it as softly as possible.

"Yes. Please enjoy the night." Sabrina said while grinning.
