Chapter 5

Finally, Brielle's first birthday arrived.

The Count's day had already begun early in the morning. The protagonist of the day, the Count, Brielle's uncle woke up early in the morning and came to his nanny's room, Marie.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes. Is the Count ready too?"

"Of course."

The two-headed for the entrance of the mansion side by side.

Then he lit a candle that the butler had brought. It was an event to pray for Brielle's health that began early in the morning.

Typically, a fancy party would be held for the only successor, but the Count decided to celebrate with the people of the mansion quietly. The butler was disappointed, but he followed his Master's words.

And the decision was also in favor of Marie. Instead of the flashy lights and food, she made nutritional meals just for the Young Master.

It was not the high-ranking nobles that the Count invited to Brielle's dinner birthday party. It was Ellie and Barry. Young Ellie did not know yet, but Barry knew how great it was to be invited to this central aristocrat's birthday.

Even if it's just cakes and food that were prepared by his sister.

And the Count's decision was right. He could tell just by looking at Brielle's face. It would have been difficult if he had spent his birthday surrounded by strangers, but the people gathered here were just laughing for good.

He laughed at the Count after seeing him as if he knew that today is his birthday.

The Count quietly grabbed Brielle from Marie once, floated him high in the air, and gave him back to her.

"Okay, this cake is the highlight. I made it with all my heart and soul."

The chef confidently came into the dining room with a cake. The butler quickly put a candle in it.

"Let's put out the lights together."

Then, on behalf of Brielle, who had yet to be able to put out the candles himself, the Count suggested to Marie to put out the candles together.

"Me, too?"

She was stunned because she didn't know he would ask her to put out the candles together.

"Come closer."

At his urging, Marie approached him. And the voices of the people counting one-two made the two faces closer.

'It's too close.'

Marie felt her heartbeat grow louder.

'I'm sure everyone can hear.'

In her arms, she could feel Brielle watching as she got close to the Count.

As she briefly glanced at Brielle, the Count peered at Marie. Her eyelashes reflected from the candles on the cake were beautiful.

"Three!"

Thanks to Ellie, who counted three loudly, among others, he got to his senses. Marie also hastily turned her head toward the cake again, and she blew the candles.
