It was possible because the child didn’t dislike it.
“But there’s no need to rush. Let’s learn slowly.”
“Yes.”
“However, it might be challenging to cut the letter into a train shape.”
“Well…”
Thinking of cutting a letter into a train shape to give to Alan, Bonita hesitated. That’s when Luke suggested,
“Instead of cutting the letter into a train shape, how about drawing a picture at the bottom?”
“Oh! That’s a great idea.”
Bonita grabbed a pencil and started moving it swiftly. While unsure about writing, she was confident when it came to drawing.
Luke was once again amazed at her appearance.
For a noble who had learned calligraphy as much as necessary, it was easy for anyone to write beautifully. However, drawing was different.
While there were nobles who learned as a hobby, they usually painted landscapes with oil paints on canvases.
But Bonita, armed with only a pencil, quickly drew pictures that seemed to pop out at any moment.
Luke became curious as he looked at the steam locomotive drawn by Bonita.
“Have you ever seen a train, Bonita?”
“No.”
“But how did you draw it then?”
Bonita, who had drawn even the smoke into the locomotive, answered as she let go of the pencil.
“Alan had one. He called it a magical toy that looks exactly like the real thing. It even emits real steam.”
“Do you want one too?”
To that question, Bonita hesitated for a moment.
The Marquis Hyacinth had many fascinating toys. Among them, the most interesting was undoubtedly a train toy that looked like a reduced version of the real thing.
The small steam locomotive running on a magical railroad even had tiny figurines inside. It was not without reason that Derek coveted it.
Bonita honestly spoke.
“It would be nice to have one.”
Most of the toys in Bonita’s playroom were cute dolls made for girls.
There were dolls with real gems embedded in their eyes and noses, and holding them made you feel warm.
However, such things did not stimulate Bonita’s curiosity.
Rather than simple dolls, she was deeply interested in things with complicated mechanical devices that moved.
“Then I’ll give you that train model as a birthday present.”
“Really?”
Bonita’s expression brightened.
When she saw the train at Marquis Hyacinth’s place, she only observed and couldn’t touch it carelessly. She was worried about breaking someone else’s belongings.
But if she received it as a gift, she could play with it however she wanted. Bonita began to imagine the joy of disassembling the gifted train.
Not knowing about such thoughts, Luke smiled contentedly and asked again.
“Isn’t there anything else you want?”
“I’m not sure. What do people usually get for their birthdays?”
“Usually, they give what the person who wants the gift desires, or they give something special…”
Luke tried hard to recall the gifts he had received when he was young.
Mostly, they were toys or jewels that boys would like. When he was a bit older, he also received exquisite figurines or expensive decorative swords.
“How about getting a pony?”
He added a pony to the mental list in his head. After all, he wouldn’t be giving only one gift.
Luke smiled with satisfaction, thinking, ‘Getting a pony would be nice.’
During that time, Bonita also drew a small picture beneath the letter she wrote to the other Maya. Even if it was printed on the letterhead from the beginning, the quality was believable as if she had drawn it herself.
“I’m done!”
“Alright, now put it in the envelope, and then stamp the sealing wax. Oh, I’ll help you with sealing it with wax because you might hurt yourself.”
As the sealing wax was hot until it solidified, Luke took care of that part for her.
Bonita stamped the seal on the slightly cooled, soft red sealing wax, sealing the envelope.
With a proud expression, Bonita held up the letter.
It was complete.

The letter Bonita sent arrived at Marquis Hyacinth’s mansion exactly a day later.
As soon as the maid Anna received the letter from the butler, she rushed to the brothers.
“Young masters, Miss Bonita sent a letter.”
“A letter!”
“Wow!”
“From Bonita?”
The children, who were quarreling with each other, gathered eagerly.
After tearing open the letter that Anna handed over, they looked at each other with astonishing eyes.
The letter read as follows:
To Derek, Alan, and Casis,
I want to invite you for my birthday!
I hope you come to our house on April 8th at 12 a.m.
Waiting for your reply!
Bonita
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
