"Envy."

"Enviable."

"When envy goes too far, it becomes jealousy."

"Why can you have two daughters, but I can only have one female monster who almost destroyed my shop, drove away my customers, and threw gold at me."

Nova smiled wryly, and drank the mead in his hand.

"No wonder, a little girl's coming-of-age ceremony, you can't wait to invite everyone here, as if you want to tell everyone."

"It's something you can do."

At this moment, the door of the office was opened, and Kilberut walked in with the cake prepared for Violet today, and saw Nova sitting at the desk. The two men looked at each other for a while, their eyes seemed full of is the story.

"Hey, long time no see, you brat from the Bougainvillea family."

"Has your brother ever talked about me?"

Nova unceremoniously put his prosthetic limb on Hawkins' office, it seemed that it would be more comfortable for him.Veterans have the habit of using a strong performance to cover up the emptiness in their hearts, just like a puffer fish that stretches itself hard and protects itself with sharp thorns.

This is the case for Nova, and so is Dieterfleet, and Keir and Hawkins, perhaps because they found the direction and meaning of their lives, were able to come out of the war early, and they would not pretend to be like this.

Kil Beirut has long been used to this attitude.

"Manager Nova."

"Your wine is still so good."

"Stop flattering me, brat."

Although Nova didn't want to talk about this topic, but looking at Gil Beirut, he thought for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking.

"You and your brother...how have you been all these years? Seeing that none of you have been disabled due to the war, you are really lucky."

Nova poured himself a full glass of wine again, and Hawkins was a little worried that Nova would get drunk in his office before the birthday party.

"You are all lucky people, you know, there are too many people who can't get out of the war."

Kil Beirut put the cake on the desk and said to the man in front of him.

"Is that why you haven't been able to forgive my brother?"

Nova looked at the mature Kiel, his eyes gradually dimmed.

"Do you feel this way? Seeing the comrades who were drinking and chatting with me yesterday, were shot dead in front of me, and stared at you before they died, their eyes are full of resentment."

Kil Beirut looked at Nova and nodded solemnly.

"some."

"Seeing the people most important to me put in danger time and time again."

"This feeling...and what you said, the feeling of watching your comrades die in front of you..."

"I've been through it all."

In the final battle, apart from Violet, the special warfare team led by Kilberut fought head-on with the enemy's mechanized infantry regiment. In the end, only Violet survived.This close brotherly team was disintegrated and wiped out in just a few tens of seconds...Kilberut will never forget this feeling for the rest of his life.

"Then, you who carry these things..."

Nova put down her injured leg, and sat facing Kilberut.

"How did you come out...?"

Birthday presents with gardenias (5)

"I didn't come out."

"It's just that an old man once said."

"Nothing in the past can be changed, and all we can do is to remember and live in awe."

Kilberut said.

"I will never forget the people who have passed away, but I can't rest on my laurels, I have to look forward. Living in the shadows all the time, I will lose myself over time."

Nova snorted disdainfully.

"I'm not as big-hearted as you are."

"I know that guy will come, I'd rather hide here until the banquet is over."

After hearing Nova's angry speech, Kilberut sighed and said.

"I wish you could meet my brother..."

After Kil Beirut finished speaking, he didn't seem to want to babble like an old woman, so he got up and left the president's office. Hawkins also shrugged, leaving most of the remaining bottle of wine to Nova, and went to the lobby of the post office by himself. those guests.

In fact, there are not many so-called guests, there are only a few familiar people, among them, besides Dieterfleet brothers and sisters, Hawkins also gave Lucia from the racehorse family, Scott the banker, and seniors from the Puppet Academy. The mentor Rodence, the oldest elder of the Bougainvillea family, Mrs. Michel, and even Her Royal Highness Charlotte Abelfreya Drossel, Princess of Drossel sent invitations, Although he was rejected without any suspense, Drossel still sent a limited typewriter that only royal dolls can use, as his own expression.

Of course, there was one of the most mysterious guests, she agreed to Hawkins' invitation.

"Violet..."

"Unexpectedly, you would send me an invitation because of a doll."

"What's even more unexpected is that I actually came."

Lucia walked slowly into the post office with her arms folded, still in an arrogant posture, her clothes were as gorgeous as ever, and she looked like a lady. Although she was very young, her aura would not lose to anyone present.

"What's the matter...it's rare to have this kind of activity, it's good to come out and relax."

Scott does not have the airs of a successful banker. After all, for him, it is rare to have such a kind party to attend. The people who invite him always try to get some benefits from him in disguise, with a The ugly face reflected from the inside out looked at him, and Violet and Adele, for Scott, he wanted to get close to those two girls, please write to them To my own deceased lover.

The largest racehorse family in Layton and a very successful banker came here together. It is normal for the dolls to feel anxious. Only Cattleya and Shikali, who have seen the market, are still chatting happily. The other puppets didn't dare to speak, and didn't even dare to meet the eyes of those two.

"Both are very outstanding people in Layton. Layton is lucky to have you."

Although Rodence does not have Lucia's aristocratic costumes, as a teacher, she also has her own pride.So when facing Lucia and Scott, Rodence also remained polite and calm.

"You have cultivated so many excellent puppets for Layton."

"Leighton is really amazing with you."

In addition to the three people's greetings and flattery, Hawkins also received a high-end typewriter from Drossel and a gold ink bottle from Flüger.It seems that even if the two countries merged, they each made their own representations. After all, the love letters they exchanged before they got together, and the priest who swore to bless them when they got married, all came from this small company, the prince and princess Although I couldn't come here in person, I still wrote a letter expressing my regret and the importance I attached to this matter.

"Let me show you the gift I brought."

Scott took a check from his pocket.

"Cut~ It's the same old style again, can you be kind?"

Lucia showed her disdain for Scott's gift, while teasing Scott for being old-fashioned, while saying that he didn't understand women's hearts.

Scott smiled smugly. Although he is over 70 years old, he still has the demeanor of his youth when he smiles.

"Although my gift is cliché, you have to admit that this gift can solve more than 90.00% of the problems in life."

"You think of dolls too simply."

"The profession of automatic memory doll has its own pride."

Lucia glanced outside the post office and said to Scott.

"This time, I brought her old friend over."

At this time, a steed neighed from the outside to the inside, as if responding to Lucia. This excited cry seemed to express what kind of glory this steed and Violet had achieved in the past, and It is one of the king racehorses, the short and middle distance powerhouse, the night knight.

Rodance glanced at her gift, it might seem too ordinary, she just smiled wryly, and said to the two who were still competing.

"My gift is as light as a goose feather, but... it also contains my heart."

"What I want to give to Violet are the originals of a few old newspapers that I have treasured. It records the events of Adele in the army... At that time, it was hit on the head many times. Version."

"Now these old newspapers have long since disappeared. I guess what I brought with me now should be the most complete set."

Seeing the thoughtful gift from the former teacher, Lucia shook her head in shame.

"As expected of a famous puppet teacher, I lost completely."

Scott was also full of praise for this gift, and the few of them quickly got closer to each other while talking and laughing.

"It's so lively today."

A familiar voice came to mind outside the post office. Along with the roar of the car engine, Dieterfleet took his sister, Lemafelt, and the oldest elder of the Bugambilla family, Mrs. Michel, their mother.

The captain of the navy walked into the post office slowly, holding a bottle of fine wine in his hand. Although Nova had already delivered the wine, he had to express it to some extent.

"Even the outstanding banker, the spokesperson of the horse racing family, and the elite instructors of the puppet academy have come. This year-end end is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon..."

Le Mafelt held her brother's arm, her perfect slender figure, and her overwhelming beauty made the dolls present couldn't help but stare at her and blushed.

"So......"

Dieter Fleet walked slowly into the post office.

"Where's Violet?"

rings and love

At this time, Violet was walking slowly in the fields outside Leiden. The chill of winter took away most of the plant life here, but the place will still be full of vitality next year, with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.Perhaps, this is just a natural short break.

"It's almost here..."

For Violet, who is used to traveling long distances, this road is nothing, and soon she felt a familiar atmosphere. Even though the cold winter swept away and took everything here, Violet still felt , something that used to exist here.

"Sir Adele...this is the only one I can..."

Remembering and missing, but what I am facing is my previous mistakes and memories. This kind of feeling is not good.

Turning over this hill, you can see this field where countless gardenias once bloomed, the place where the old man once slept peacefully.Violet came to Aidier's tomb, and the small tombstone was still standing there, and the epitaph written for Aidier was engraved on it.

Violet silently knelt in front of the tombstone, leaned forward, and slowly held the tombstone in her arms, looking at the traces of digging the soil behind the tombstone, Violet closed her eyes, recalling the past bit by bit.

Although it is not very good to come here on her birthday, Violet wants to come here, and she also feels that she should come here. Now that she has, she feels the responsibility in her heart.

"Gardenias are still evergreen in winter..."

The harsh winter has taken away the lives of nearby vegetation, insects and ants, but here, countless green leaves are still swaying in the cold wind of early winter, and those low evergreen leaves still continue their tenacious vitality. The inconspicuous flower named gardenia is now here, but its collective and luxuriant growth is resisting the erosion of severe winter.Just like Etil, even in the face of the harsh winter of harvesting everything, they still have to dance with death and fight against fate.

This is a festival.

Violet felt that this kind of perseverance was really similar to Chief Etil.

"Sir... Violet came to see you, I'm already..."

Some things are actually such a coincidence. If she hadn't dug up this tomb, if she believed that Adele was only recuperating in a nursing home, would she have missed too much at this time, and what would her life be like? What about the direction of development...

Violet didn't even dare to think about it.

"I'm here this time, I just want to tell you."

"In the past, you always took my words as a child's babbling, but now, I am old and can be responsible for what I said, and now I want to tell you seriously."

Violet took a deep breath.

"I love you, Chief Attil."

After finishing speaking, Violet kissed lightly on the tombstone, and her eyes gradually became firm. Today, she has an extremely important thing to accomplish.

......

In the best blacksmith's shop in Leiden, Violet stood in front of the blacksmith.

"You are here again, is the mechanical arm broken?"

"It doesn't make sense. It shouldn't be broken. This is the best material and craftsmanship."

This is the place where Violet's pair of well-crafted mechanical arms were born, and here is the best blacksmith in Leiden, as well as his heirs.

"no."

Montridge looked at the flowers that Violet handed over. The blacksmith held a hammer that weighed more than ten kilograms in his right hand, and held such delicate flowers in his left hand. There was a strong contrast between the two things.

"You want to make a ring out of this flower . . . ?"

"Improbable..."

Montridge placed the flower in front of him, no matter how you looked at it, it was an ordinary gardenia.

"Not to mention that it will wither, how can I fix the flowers on the ring like a diamond? You are a little hard on me. I am afraid that if it accidentally splashes sparks, this flower will be destroyed."

Violet knew that there were some things Montridge didn't know, she said firmly.
