REINCARNATION THIS TIME, THE EVIL EMPRESS WANTS TO BECOME A BUSINESSMAN

TWENTY-ONE

Two bad memories in two different lives make Selena not want to celebrate her birthday, although Cassia always celebrated the birthday with luxury and festive, then the nobles satirize her because it was too introverted, because the, Selena still doesn't care.

The only one who understood Selena's feelings about her birthday was Aether, her older sister.

In the current life Aether does not want to push Selena as much as before, but when looking at the changes of the Mother and her enthusiasm about Selena's birthday.

Aether tried to persuade him. "Do you want to celebrate your birthday with your mom?"

"Will you die on my birthday again?"

A question known only to the owner of the universe, Aether could not answer. "I can't promise anything I don't know, not even the universe knows why we're reincarnated twice. However, mom is now changing - can't you give me a chance to celebrate your birthday?"

The conversation took place after their mother expressed a desire to celebrate her birthday. Selena tried to give me a chance to celebrate my birthday.

And that's what Aether and Selena are living tonight, with a dream that neither of them would dare to imagine in the three lives they've lived.

Selena held tightly to Aether's hand in search of strength.

Stefano and Aelia put candles on top of Selena's birthday cake made by Aelia.

Aelia lifted the cake one level with white cream decorated with pink roses. "Happy Birthday Mother's daughter, may she be the one to achieve her dream."

Stefano stood behind Aelia and held both of her shoulders. "Happy birthday, Father's daughter."

Selena tears and rubs with the back of her hand.

Aether understood Selena's feelings and said them sincerely. "Happy birthday, sister."

Selena tried to hold back the tears from appearing any more, then made a wish in her heart and voiced her gratitude. "Thank you, my wish has been fulfilled by my mother now."

Aelia who had been smiling sincerely, became sad. "I'm sorry, you've been ignoring your beloved daughter."

Selena shakes. "No, I understand."

Aether smiled sadly. Understand what his sister feels.

Selena blew out the candles

Everyone around the park clapped, except Stefano who helped Aelia put the birthday cake on the table.

The sight astonished the nobles who were inside the party room and peeked out from the window.

"Why is everyone in the park clapping?"

"Is that a cake?"

"Why did Selena's daughter blow out the candles?"

"Is that a new habit?"

"Well, are the Emperor and the Empress celebrating Princess Selena's birthday? There's the Crown Prince there too."

The atmosphere became silent when he heard the words of one of the young female nobles.

"Hey, be careful when you talk. Tonight's Cassia's daughter's birthday." Reprimand one of the friends standing next to him.

Cassia became angry while her mother stared worriedly at the queen.

The queen who also saw the sight, said to Cassia. "Daughter of Cassia, you are the Emperor's favorite child. So do not be angry, later the Emperor must come to the Princess event. Just wait a minute."

Cassia nodded. "The emperor has promised to come, will surely keep it."

Cassia turned around and opened her birthday party. "Thank you for coming to my birthday party and bringing some presents, because it's me-"

Not long after the door of the party room opened, the servants came pushing the tray carriage and began handing out cakes to the invitations.

The crown prince's confidant made the announcement. "Today is a day of happiness for the Crown Prince's only sister, Princess Selena."

The nobles suddenly became noisy and then some young nobles of Cassia and Selena's age, glanced at Cassia.

All this time Cassia had always told everyone that her relationship with the crown prince was fine, but with such an announcement, didn't their actual relationship not match Cassia's story?

"Did Princess Cassia lie?"

"Shhhhh!"

The trustees of the crown prince announced again, when it had calmed the guests with bells. "Therefore the Crown Prince wanted to hand out cakes made by the Empress himself as well as the Emperor's simple dishes to take home."

Before the celebration, Stefano and Aelia had a bit of an argument over the cake and the food to be shared.

The morning in the kitchen, before the evening of the birthday party. Selena who smiled, saw the fierce dispute between her parents.

"No, don't make that much and that big of a cake. Do you want to share with the nobles who came?"

"Yes, it does."

"No, I don't allow it. Better leave it to the head of the palace kitchen."

"Tonight it's my son's birthday, there's no way I'm handing over the cooking to someone else!"

"Selena is also my daughter, but I also won't let my wife toil just for the spoiled and self-informed nobles!"

"Well! You have many wives, don't call me wife! Mad emperor!"

Stefano was surprised, out of the many women around him, no one dared to speak rudely like Aelia. Stefano was not offended at all.

Selena nodded happily. "Yes, mom. Ignore the mad Emperor, you can cook everything you want. I'll eat it all."

Aelia smiled at Selena. "Ah, you are indeed an understanding child."

Stefano was also surprised to hear how brazen the child was, but could not reply. She understood how fearless Selena was, even if removed from the imperial family members, Selena would never care.

Selena nodded. "Yes, I'm the only one who understands you the most."

Stefano ruffled her waist and sighed, finally giving in. "Well, because you made it. I do mind you decorating a birthday cake is very big, but it can be tricked, let the cake like that then cut small and make a gift for the guests."

Aelia exchanged glances with Selena.

Stefano persuaded them. "The nobles could not eat standing up, they would not hold the plate and take it everywhere, they only carried a glass. You two haven't forgotten about table manner lessons, have you?"

Aelia nodded. "Well, if that's the case. We'll wrap her in a pretty ribbon, then Selena writes herself down on paper."

Selena pointed to herself. "I? Write? What should I write, mom?"

Aelia smiled. "Write that you want to share happiness through cakes and thanks to the nobles who have worked hard."

Selena glanced at her father.

Stefano was forced to comply and nodded to Selena.
