Capítulo 25: The Birthday 4
ALEXANDER'S POV-
With the sun blaring at me I was forced awake from my slumber, though I didn't mind it as it signified the hours ticking till the event.
Moving my arms left and right, I soon found out that the two already woke up ahead of me, 'Well, they always were early morning people', I thought to myself.
After washing myself up I went to seek my daughters out and to my surprise, they were still eating breakfast.
I greeted all of my daughters with pecks on their cheeks and they could only giggle at how ticklish it was. Of course, I didn't leave the twins out...except I gave them quick kisses to their lips...much to their surprise.
Sebas who was there was only staring at me, "What? Want a kiss too?", I joked. "Master, if you gave me permission to harm you...this butter knife won't be spreading butter on my toast.", he said as he spreads the golden butter on his toast.
"You should star in breakfast commercials, maybe villains would at least hide during mornings and allow people of the world to eat breakfast in peace.", I commented on Sebas' stare.
Finishing with the jokes I asked, "How many people are attending the birthday anyway?", curious about how many people are in attendance. "300.", Sebas said as he bit into the crunchy toast.
I deadpanned at him for the number of people attending, "How did it end up as 300 anyway? Fillers to be the crowd?", I asked as that was the only idea I thought of.
"Indeed, they are, Master. Just think of it as the people you say Hi and Bye to, and most of them have at least a child after all this is a birthday party for children.", Sebas explained his actions to which Alexander immediately understood.
"No politicians right? The last thing I want is for some old guy trying to turn the party into a campaigning event. That's if they can.", I said to Sebas to which he didn't let me down as he intentionally avoided anyone who had a strong political bias.

After finishing their meal, Alexander asked the children and the twins if they wanted to look at the preparations for everything and they agreed...well the babies were cheering.
Making their way through the floors, they spotted numerous employees going past them but not before greeting their boss. The first floor they went to was the kitchen.
Arriving at the kitchen, the chefs were focused and working like a well-oiled machine not knowing someone just came inside.
Though it seems they are only doing prep work before they start cooking to serve fresh hot food once the time of dinner arrives, it seems desserts are already being completed and only being stored.
"Oh, what brings you here?", Joichiro who immediately noticed us asked, "Just looking around to see if everything is fine and grabbing some to eat while at it.", Alexander said.
"Well, everything is fine under my watch and the desserts over the are already chilled and ready to be eaten", Joichiro said as he pointed at a massive refrigerator with a see-through door.
"Well, don't mind if we take some then", Alexander said as they all took a serving of a chocolate mousse dessert from the refrigerator.
"Thank you"
"Thanks!"
"...thank you"
"Thank you!"
"Thank you."
The kids exclaimed and the group walked out feeling satisfied with their haul, but not before Rem and Ram told the kids not to eat too much...though the kids were only sucked into a chocolatey mousse world.
Making their way to the final and only place where the guest will be staying, the family arrived in the garden area. The garden was in the back of the residence, it was styled in your typical symmetrical on both sides type.
However, what sets this garden apart from the rest is what type of flora grows there, the flowers that grow there have a soft glow, amazing to look at but would never distract you.
There's even a massive garden dome with a 5-minute walk away from the party area, its similar to Singapore's Domed Gardens, though this one houses the rarest of flowers and plants from the ATG-Universe. (Not harmful of course)
This dome has its own little wildlife of birds and small animals, some are even from the ATG so it's not hard to see a flaming bird as such.
The garden was already filled with decorated chairs and tables, a stage for the invited performers to play, a play area for the kids of all ages, and even a dance floor for the adults who could finally use their dance classes from childhood to use.
When the family saw this they were immediately satisfied with everything that was happening, especially the children when they heard a lot of people will be coming for their birthday!
Rem and Ram went to Alexander and whispered, "Do you have the cake and fireworks ready?", they asked. "Don't worry it was already settled a long time ago", whispering back to them.
Alexander had to use the system to create a massive cake as he knew Joichiro still had his limits, while the fireworks were ordered from the company that handles Japan's new year celebrations.
Now all they had to do was wait till evening...

JAPANESE TIMES DIRECTOR'S POV-
I was already sitting in the back of my car being driven off to the party alone, I didn't want to bring in any other variable with me, 'Just do the job, plain and simple', were my repeating thoughts.
Even though the car's air condition was on blast, I was still sweating from my nerves as this was the sort of party only where people with real influence attend, and I happened to be one such person due to my position in the company.
'Retirement sounds perfect after this event', joking to myself trying to lessen the seriousness of it. After numerous thoughts, we were already within the outskirts of the city, with the increasing density of trees zooming past the window.
Looking around I could only comment on the fact that this place was secluded from the city's noise and pollution, perfect for living in peace.
After a few moments, we arrived at a decorated gate and its wall, though there was a security checkpoint with the infamous armored fellows appearing on the internet when it took down the Titan villain.
Rolling down the window I handed in my invitation, but not before scanning the car in its entirety, though this only took seconds.
"Everything is okay, do enjoy the party", one of the armored people said while I could only nod in anticipation. After a few moments of driving, I saw the towering residence of the Morningstar Family.
When we arrived at the entrance and the door opened for me, I had to ask a nearby employee if it was okay to take pictures of the residence, "It's fine, just don't go to places not allowed for guests", the man said.
*Snap* x5
Taking in a few shots, I made my way to the area for the party, but before I even arrived many notable figures were already making their way too.
Some of the figures were Doctor Fujiwara Uchiha, one of the best Doctors in Asia with the use of his eye quirk.
Then looking over to my left I saw...L-Lionheart family!? I didn't expect the Lionheart Family to appear and it seems they brought their children too, the elder sister and the soon-to-be 1-year-old baby boy.
While on my right, a periwinkle-haired group, The Hado Family. It seems Akio brought his children and the new addition to the family, Sayo Hado, almost a year old too yet already waddling. Cute.
I have just started to walk and I am already seeing many names that have weight to their words, letting it be I simply greeted them and asked permission for a photo...not wanting to disappear tomorrow now do I?
When I arrived at the venue... "Wow..." was all I could let out. The garden of the Morningstars' really is...something!
Flowers that subtly glow which gives it a fantasy vibe while not being annoying to the eyes, and your occasional glowing butterflies.
With this view, anyone who first gazes at the garden will think they passed through a portal.
*Snap* x10
Snapping to my delight at the Ethereal-like garden, 'Ethereal Garden? Found my headline for tonight already', I thought to myself.
"Simply Magnifique! This garden shines above me~", I was taken out of my thoughts by a blond man in his twenties with a weird French accent.
Not knowing who he is I asked politely, "Who might you be?", I was curious as everyone who enters here has some weight in society.
"Ada Aoyama! Designer and owner of Twinkling Sparkle, how about you Monsieur?", he said with flamboyant moves
'Ahhh, it's the guy who owns a rather large clothing company...heavy on the french theme though', I thought and simply reciprocated the gesture with a Japanese slight bow, "Hideki Kori, Director for Japanese Times Newspaper"
"Do advertise my company to add light to the grey newspaper, Monsieur Hideki, au revoir (bye in french)~ ", he said as he scurries to his family who was already taken a seat. 'Eccentric fellow', was the only impression I had.
Showing my invitation to a servant who is walking around attending to guests he simply asks for my name and once I did he immediately guides me to my table.
Though no one else is sitting with me as I only brought myself, setting my small packed gear down, and decided to go around and do my job taking pictures with bits of questions.
I made sure to turn off my flash as no one wants an annoying fly...I pictured the people seated, the children playing in the activity area, servers serving wine and champagne with the crest of the Morningstar Family.
Taking another look I was able to spot the 'stars' of today, the five daughters of the All-Father the one that made Europe peaceful.
They were happily floating around receiving birthday greetings with two red and blue-headed maids, the maids with children were beautiful and cute in every word especially their maid outfits...different from the others and almost seemed like it was just perfect for them.
When I was about to take pictures of the maids and children out of instinct someone 'kindly' talked to me, "If you're going to take a picture you better ask permission from someone first", said a passing person.
Shivering and remembering where I am I asked "T-thanks! But who are you?", I stuttered.
"Just the Head of Security, Carter. I know it's your job and all...I don't care if you took pictures of the guest. But anything with the 'Family' you best act consciously, take care.", the man in a navy blue suit said, while I could only nod.
'Hah...I feel like I aged a bit', I thought and just headed my way to the other wandering guest who were admiring the flowers of the garden.
"Hello, would you mind a single question it's for the Japanese Times?" I asked a woman who was alone with a glass of wine, "As long as it's nothing personal go ahead.", she straightforwardly said.
"Thanks, I just want to ask what do you think about the party in general?", I made my question as generic as possible to know their overall feel of it.
"Everything is new. That's all, goodbye", she said...and not even leaving a name behind. This job is really too hard for my age already, but I still decided to head for another one.

REM'S POV-
I and Rem were looking after the kids who were going around saying hello to everyone, "Nee-sama, the children look even cuter today, don't you think?", I said to my sister with a slightly wider smile on my face due to the atmosphere of the party.
"They are our daughters, after all, Rem", my sister said with pride. Though due to her statement it seems to have caught the ears of the passerby's and they started a small gossip.
"Are those the mothers of the five?"
"Why are they wearing maid uniforms?"
"They're quite cute!"
"If a maid could become their mothers maybe I can offer myself."
These were the little running gossip that we suddenly heard which made I and Ram a bit uncomfortable, but at least the children didn't understand the meanings behind them yet.
Though before unnecessary imaginations could run through the mind of people, the ones who made negative remarks were told to remove themselves from the party under the eyes of everyone.
I suddenly felt a firm grasp on my shoulders so too for Ram, and we tilted our heads only to see Alexander appear behind us much to our relief.
"You two could've searched for me if you two were uncomfortable with anything", he said assuring me and Ram. "Well, we didn't want to cause a scene and affect the children's mood", I said to Alexander and to which he just patted our heads.
"Well, the problem has already left the party, so let's enjoy with the kids, okay?", Alexander said with a smile on his face to which I and Rem just kissed him on each side of his cheeks stunning him. "Let's go enjoy", I said to him acting as if nothing happened.
Alexander could only look at us with a tint of pink on his face as we followed the kids once again.
