Chapter 434 Birthday Gift
Roland learned from Anna that Tilly was about to celebrate her twentieth birthday.
It wasn't until this moment that he remembered that such a thing had happened.
You can't blame him for being too careless. The memory of the fourth prince is like a database to him. He only looks through it when necessary. There is too little content about current affairs and mysticism in it. It is all about trouble-making. A trick of experience and complacency, so he looked back on this memory less and less frequently.
For the fourth prince, Tilly was a piece of dark history, and her part was naturally insignificant. Everything related to her was relegated to the lowest level, and it seemed that she didn't want to remember it at all.
Tilly's birthday does not refer to the day of awakening, but the birth day in the literal sense - due to the special nature of the extraordinary, she does not even know when she awakened as a witch, and she does not feel it during the evil month every year. The turning point of the magic phagocytosis. So for her, birthday is the only one.
Roland looked through this memory and found that probably because Tilly was the queen's last child, when Wimbledon III was still alive, a grand birthday celebration ceremony would be held for her in the inner city every winter. This treatment was even the most favored on weekdays. Tifeko never got love. But other than that, he rarely talked to Tilly, as if he didn't care about her life. If this were not the case, the fourth prince would not dare to bully this sister again and again.
Looking further back, he also found an interesting place.
On the day Tilly came of age, the scale of the celebration was also the largest. Even subsequent coming-of-age ceremonies could not compare with it. More than four border guards rushed to the royal capital, there were also congratulatory gifts from Dawn, Wolfheart and Everwinter, and even envoys were sent from the fjord islands.
Tifeko and Garcia were quite jealous of this. They wanted to teach Tilly a lesson and make her understand that she was not a person liked by her father at all. The reason why Wimbledon III did this was just to compensate. The late queen's kindness to Tilly was only to give some comfort to her mother's spirit in heaven.
Regardless of whether Roland believed this or not, they believed it at the time anyway, so the two of them found the fourth prince and wanted to encourage him to take action. However, since he was severely punished by Tilly eight years ago, he was no longer willing to provoke him. This sister, who seemed peaceful but was full of rebellious spirit deep down, refused to agree. In desperation, the two decided to do it themselves.
The fourth prince didn't know exactly how it was done, but the result was that a pair of cubs as gifts from the Wolf Heart Kingdom were poisoned to death. This was also Tilly's favorite gift at the time - when she saw her sister holding the dead bear cubs in shock, He found a glimmer of joy in the fourth prince's heart.
As expected of a scum of the royal family, apart from murder and arson, he has really done all the other bad things.
No matter what, this must be a bad memory for Tilly Wimbledon.
After reading through it, Roland had a thought and quickly thought of what to give.
He spread out a piece of white paper and began to draw a drawing of his gift.
"What is this?" Nightingale poked her head out from behind, "A bear?"
"Well, it's a stuffed bear, the kind you can hug and sleep with," Roland said with a smile.
Based on my limited gift-giving experience, I can tell that most girls have little resistance to cute and furry gifts, and a hug doll of equal height can perfectly combine these two points. Of course, simply making puppets is not difficult for him, nor is it unusual. Since he is a prince and has a group of witches behind him to provide technical support, he can naturally make it more unique.
…
On Tilly's birthday, Roland came to her room holding gifts.
After knocking on the door, she was the only one in the room. When she saw it was herself, she was slightly startled, "Why are you here?"
"Today is your birthday, and I will hold a sumptuous dinner in the castle tonight," Roland said with a smile, "But before that, I have a gift for you."
"A gift?" Tilly said slightly surprised, "Is it this in your arms?" She turned sideways and said, "Come in."
"Well... it's a bit big, but I promise it's special." The prince wiped his forehead and placed the gift on the floor of the living room. In this era, gifts among nobles were very small and exquisite. From flowers to rings, they could be hidden in the dress in advance and then taken out unexpectedly to surprise the other party. It is indeed rare to see someone like him holding a wrapped cardboard box to give gifts - and this thing is much heavier than he thought.
"You've never given me anything before," Tilly said in a somewhat unreadable tone.
"I gave you a quill when you were born," Roland corrected, "although it's not a precious gift."
"Okay, the tradition of the Royal Family of Graycastle," she shrugged, "What about this one? Can I take it apart?"
"sure."
Roland smiled and sat aside, watching her untie the ribbon little by little. When the cardboard box was put down, he heard the other party take a slight breath.
"What... is this?" Tilly blinked.
"Bear." Roland grinned.
"How can any bear look like this?" She circled around the puppet twice curiously, and then couldn't help but touch it, "It's so soft..."
Its skin was hand-drawn by Soraya, and the reference template was the young wolf leather from the North. It was extremely smooth to the touch. As for the shape... Roland designed it completely based on the giant pandas of later generations. As an ancient species that can survive just by being cute, it is also popular around the world as a diplomatic gift, which shows how cute it is.
"I have never heard of this kind of bear, and the color on its body is too strange..."
"Doesn't it look good?"
"No, I mean..." Tilly didn't seem to know how to describe it, but her shining eyes revealed her thoughts.
"It's called a giant panda, and it's an animal that's... widely loved by the masses."
The other party quickly realized, "This is another world..."
Roland nodded, "And it's not just a huggable doll. You can pinch its neck and try."
After Tilly complied, the "panda" suddenly started moving. Its legs swung back and forth, as if it wanted to climb up Tilly's body. The latter covered her mouth in surprise and took two steps back. The puppet fell on all fours. He still didn't stop, but slowly crawled towards her.
This is the reason why it is extra heavy - Roland has implanted connecting rods and gears in its body that can reciprocate. Each of its limbs is driven by a small motor, and the power source of the motor is Dawn One, which has been shrunk many times. In order to reduce the intensity of changes in magnetic flux, the duration of the enchantment is also greatly extended. It can last for three to four months when left unused. If used continuously, it will be reduced by about 20%. Even if Tilly returns to Sleeping Island, "Panda" will be able to accompany her for a long time.
"Pinch its neck again and the puppet will stop." Roland smiled, "I hope you like this gift."
This time, even though Tilly didn't answer, he could see the answer from the other person's expression.
