think, Bebe? Is it too much?”

“No! Chocolate isn’t too much! I like chocolate! You can have more chocolate!”

The best thing in the world was chocolate.
I smiled brightly and jumped in place.

“I can’t believe chocolate was a gift!””

“Huh?”

“Thank you.
This isn’t too much at all!”

But my dad’s reaction was quite different from what I expected.

“If I knew this would happen, I should have prepared chocolate, too.”

Somehow, my father’s voice was more sullen than ever.

“Why? Don’t you know that?”

“That’s a chocolate mountain made by the chefs for Bebe.”

“Ah!”

Only then did I see the chefs standing on one side of the room.
When they saw my smile, they began to hug each other happily.

After that, I looked around and saw a lot of people standing in the room.
Some chefs I had already met before, and others had seen it at the last political meeting.

Even the servants and maids who I met several times while working as a craftsman were in this room.
Different boxes were held in their arms.

“And here’s what I prepared for you.”

While looking around for a while, the Grand Duke pointed his finger somewhere.
There was a chair made of gold.

“That? Chair?”

But on the contrary, he didn’t answer my question.
It just led me there.

Eventually, I arrived at the chair after passing the numerous gifts piled up.

“Let’s sit down.”

“Here?”

“Yes.
I made this chair for you.”

Was this okay?

‘It’s much better than the doll mountain you brought.’

It was still awkward to receive a gift, but it’s not too burdensome to receive a gift like this.

Of course, it was burdensome, but it was much better than expected.’

He pointed his finger at me.

“What about that?”

It was a world map that I had seen in books before.

It was a map of vast continents, seas and many countries.
The world map spread out so vastly on the ceiling that it was hard to see at a glance.

“The map is a gift.”

“No.
Bebe, you try to pick from there.
Which one would you like to have?

“What? What should I choose?”

I was so embarrassed that I spoke formally.

“Land.
Or country.
I’ll conquer wherever you want.
You said so last time.
You needed a place to live with your mom, so I will build a country there.”

My mouth went dry at his words, which were far beyond what I expected.

‘Mom… I think my new dad… I think he’s a little crazy.’
