Since Little Spender didn’t know what was inside, why should he be anxious? Of course, it was just so he could go home to the palace and attend the birthday banquet for him and his “wife.”

They had already spent over an hour and a half at the auction house, and it was almost the limit—if they didn’t go back soon, his parents would send someone to drag him home.

“You little brat, why are you only coming back now? Didn’t I tell you to come home early today? Enough talk, get in the carriage, Taylor will help you change clothes inside.” As the biggest spendthrift of the The York Family returned to the gate of the The York Residence, he had just gotten off the carriage when someone twisted his ear and dragged him straight to the waiting luxurious carriage.

“Mom, it hurts…” Little Spender cried out in pain. The one twisting his ear was none other than Angela Long, who was waiting at the door—one of only two people here who would do this to him.

Why only two? Of course, because there were two people, but the other wasn’t his father, it was his sister, Brian York.

“Haha, serves you right! That’s what you get for sneaking off when I wasn’t looking.” Brian York clapped her little hands, looking quite satisfied.

“I didn’t!” Little Spender shook his head, denying Brian York’s accusation.

“Still denying it? Didn’t I ask you to come play with me?” Brian York said, a little angry.

“Yeah, you did.” Little Spender nodded and replied slowly.

“Then how can you say you didn’t!” Brian York knocked Little Spender on the forehead.

“But I never said I’d go with you!”

“……” Brian York fell silent.

“I don’t like shopping with you. You always dress me up to look like you.” Little Spender continued, explaining why he didn’t want to go with Brian York.

“……” Brian York was even more silent.

Not sure what that means? Actually, it’s simple. When our Little Jason said “dress up to look like Brian York,” he didn’t mean disguising as her, but rather being dressed in her style—in other words, being dressed up as a girl.

At that time, our Little Jason was still young, with big watery eyes and fair, delicate skin. Dressed as a girl, he was stunningly beautiful—of course, that’s an exaggeration, but it’s undeniable that he looked very cute in girls’ clothes.

After all, he was just a kid of about ten. Even if it were someone else, as long as Brian York dressed them up the same way, they probably wouldn’t look much different.

“Xiaoyu, you can only blame yourself for this. Now even your little brother is afraid of you.” A beautiful, gentle girl nearby laughed.

“Second sister, you’re laughing at me! You were in on it too. I remember it was your idea.” Brian York complained. She still remembered that when she asked her brother to try on her clothes, it was her second sister who said he looked cute, and if they dressed him up, they’d have another little sister.

“Was I?” Second sister pretended not to know.

“Hmph!”

“Enough, everyone. Let’s go, to the palace.” Ethan York waved his hand, cutting off his children’s chatter and announcing their departure.

In the carriage, as Tina and Angela Long helped Little Jason change clothes, Brian York suggested again that he try on her evening dress. Of course, Angela Long immediately knocked her on the head.

Little Jason looked at Brian York pitifully from the side and rubbed the spot where Angela Long had hit her. He still felt sorry for his sister.

Although Brian York often teased and tricked her little brother, it was undeniable that she loved him dearly and wouldn’t let anyone bully him.

“Little brother, how about you wear it for me when we get back…”

Brian York coaxed.

“No way!” Little Jason immediately ran to the other side, hiding next to Angela Long, leaving Brian York unable to do anything but watch.

“……”

Chapter 14: Alchemy Notes

At night in the palace, in one of the halls, people from the The Royal Family and the The York Family were celebrating the birthdays of the two little stars of the day. This was a private banquet, so not many people were invited, but everyone present was a heavyweight in the empire.

Yes, heavyweight—any move they made could make the whole empire tremble.

As in previous years, Little Spender began his spendthrift antics at the banquet, taking Seventh Princess and Tina to set off “fireworks” in the square—his fireworks.

Suddenly, eight fire dragons appeared in the sky above the square, soaring upward and illuminating the surroundings. The sight of the fire dragons rising into the air was magnificent—if you judged by spectacle alone, it was top-notch.

Not only could people near the palace see these fire dragons, but the entire imperial capital could see them. Many people, besides thinking it was beautiful, also broke out in a cold sweat.

Those who didn’t know better thought something had happened in the palace—why had fire dragons suddenly appeared? They would never have guessed that these fire dragons were just someone’s fireworks.

“Damn, eighth-level magic—Eight Fire Dragon Spell! Damn, that magic scroll must cost at least a hundred thousand gold coins. I’d heard about his spendthrift ways, but now I realize what I’d heard before was nothing.”

All at once, everyone present started talking, and Ethan York began to frown. He felt this was a bit too much.
