"Sorry about that since I was thinking just may be you can help me"
"Help you,why would I help you mister after all you are a stranger"
"You are talking to a complete stranger than in this back alley where no one came and go frequently, what if something happens to you"said Kai with a look of joking

as Kai turn around and went back to hotel
Clock struck 9pm as Kai and Alfred went outside the hotel, as a chariot was waiting for them as watchman open chariot door Kai and Alfred enter chariot was the charioteer control chariot to move towards the City lord mansion.
On reaching the mansion they should a gaint mansion with lines of maid standing on the side of red carpet as one by one people comes out of thier chariot as they enter the mansion, everyone has giving a feeling of high society people, showing of thier wealth and status comparable to them pair of Kai and Alfred look ordinary with no aura of rich or influence, as no one came to greet or paid attention to them as Kai went stood in beside the wall where as Alfred who is used to this kind of party quickly adapt to his surroundings and stared talking with others,
you can say Kai was a odd person who don"t know, how he should act and was nervous, so decided just to stay out and observe.
Suddenly the lights become dim as the hall become quite as a man and a girl appear on first floor was they step by step get down the stairs.
The girl was wearing a white sparking dress with white shoes giving out aura of purity and innocence but for Kai it was a shocking moment know he knows why she said no one dare to make a move on her in this city, who can go and look for trouble with city lord daughter in her own city.
Suddenly the crowd gathered around the girl and the man as they offer their well wishes and gifts among all the gifts 7 gifts which stand out the most were given by representative of other fortress cities, every one way more amazing then other and the girl thankfully recived them while crowd goes wild.
Finally it was time for Alfred and Kai to offer their gifts, Alfred took of a box from his magic pouch and took out a pocket.w.a.tch and offer it to her with letters curved on the surface of its back side "for a girl like you so that you never miss a important moment of you like"
Lily,"I give this watch to you so that you never miss or get late in any important moment of your life and live it to your fullest, so whenever you look at the watch never forget my words"smile Alfred and look at the man standing by the side as the man nod to Alfred.
Seeing Alfred who was talking with them offered such a ordinary gift, the crowd was shocked in a different way never they thought that some will offer such a ordinary gift to city lord daughter on her birthday.
As Alfred give way to Kai to give his gift and stood at the side of the man.
As Kai stood before birthday girl with a smile and took of a ordinary wooden box from his clothes and pa.s.s it on to the girl with a smiling face said "you wanted a unique gift right little girl, so here you go, just open it and you will see one of the unique thinks of the world"
Hearing that city lord and Alfred were surprised with the whole crowd going noisey
"just who is this body to talk to city lord daughter in such a way"
"Do they know eachother by chance"
varies kind of topic raised but Lily was carefully looking at wooden box and with a sound it opened up inside it was a wooden ring with a white crystal in the middle and varies symbols curved on the wooden ring.
From looking at the ring it looks ordinary and even the size of the ring does not seems her size seeing it for sometimes it does not look any special and Lily look at kai who was signalling her to wear it.
Taking the ring out of the box, Lily put on ring on her right hand middle finger however one look the ring was bigger than her size and was loose but suddenly the symbols curved on ring started to glow as it becomes the same size of the finger as the glow disappeared from the ring "Happy Birthday girl, how it you like this unique gift from me, it"s one of a kind and is made by me"
Lily has a look of confusion on her face
"still not satisfied just what do you want more, this ring can Store magic power, create a barrier around you, accelerated your speed of cultivation,keep you mind and body fresh, regularly your body temperature so you not feel comfortable even in hot and cold water,even after all these you want more,you really are greedy as Kai placed his hand on took of Lily head and started putting force as Lily feels the pain and shouted"Mister, you really don"t know how to treat a girl this way you will never get a girlfriend, I was just confused on looking at such a magic ring,now just let it go or my head will explode"
Looking at the behaviour of Kai who was talking to Lily without any hesitation and to present such a magic item just who is this boy.
City lord was also confused as his daughter has never told me about any of friends like Kai .
On the other hand Alfred was astonished on hearing that this kind of magic item was made by Kai, the wood is ordinary but it curved with magic ruins with a magic crystal at the middle to store the magic even quality of the magic crystal is very high.
"Thank you, Mister I really like the gifts"said Lily thankfully.
As Kai and Lily where talking City lord and Alfred walked to them
"Lily you have not introduced to his friends of your"said city lord as he looks to at Lily.
"Father,I have just meet mister for first time at market when he went to buy gift for me but cannot find any and dumped into me from there I know him"
"With whom did you came"asked City lord
"He came with me, he is from my town,his name is Kai seft"answered Alfred from city lord side.
"so, he came with you sir Alfred"saying that to Alfred he look at Kai.
"h.e.l.lo, Kai my name is Ronald Park"
"Nice to meet you sir"as they shake hands
"Enjoy you self in the party"as City lord left Lily and Kai alone and went to talk to other guest and went to a private room.
While talking with Alfred time to time in low voice

"To tell the truth even I don"t know, he is already at peak of grandmaster"reply Alfred
"Peak of grandmaster at such a young age not even the great empire has a genius of his scale" said Ronald with surprised
"you,said it right he really is a genius"
As Ronald and Alfred where taking the door suddenly open and Kai with Lily enters the room
"Father,Father I and Brother Kai have decided to become a sworn brother and sister"
Hearing this Ronald reply"If you have described then these is nothing for me to speak"as he look at kai
