☀️ Arselia and Akonia

"On my tenth... That was quite a challenge. My parents spoiled me with gifts, and then there was Master Romsan, plus relatives and a few childhood friends. I'll have to really rack my brain; it's harder than remembering the Ice Queen," she said with a wink. She thought for a moment. "Actually, Mom gave me an amber necklace, and Dad gave me an expensive collection of chivalric romances that I haven't read yet... As a bonus, on my birthday, I was allowed to try lipstick for the first time, but I had to wash it off almost immediately. They said it was best not to rush into cosmetics, that it wasn't appropriate for little girls, and that it could damage the skin if you weren't careful. Master gave me a wooden sword. It's funny, I was a little upset at first that it wasn't real, but when I looked closer, it was a beautiful blade, with more patterns than on my dress, and it was painted in bright colors... And then there were the usual things, like candy, and my aunt and uncle gave me a nice little ring, but I don't remember those as well. Those three... four gifts were the most valuable to me."
