Chapter 154: 153. Something Sinister (3)

Even though I had refused to arrange a party, the household personnel had still made cake and some snacks to celebrate my birthday.

Silas, Grandfather and Lady Elise were also present there along with Father and the maids and servants.

I celebrated with the others but the atmosphere wasn't as happy as last time as one of the important people wasn't there.

My birthday passed by without any other events and with only the letters that came from the other noble kids who knew me wishing me for my birthday.

Another four days passed by and I couldn't help but feel uneasy as the report was still taking time to reach me.

As the fifth day melted into night, I couldn't wait anymore and I went back to the bookstore only to find it to be handled by the helper of Rose, Martin.
