When Nico’s group, or rather, Prince Albert’s group returned from the matchmaking in Farland, it was already the season of young leaves sprouting in the royal capital . That is, it was spring when I returned .
“Lei!” Otou-sama’s voice echoed in the mansion . I’m usually in my room, so there’s no point in shouting at such a distance .
“Otou-syama ish woowing for me! Hansh!” (Otou-sama is looking for me! Hans!)
“Yes? I think it’s useless . ”
“Quicwwy . ”
“Yes, okay . ”
Hans picked me up, took a quick look around the room, and gently lowered me to the edge of the bay window . I sucked in my stomach as much as I could and stood up straight against the window curtains .
“Your stomach is showing a bit . ”
“Hans!” It wasn’t me who was offended by Hans’s rude words . It was Natalie . Natalie has been doing a lot of things for me lately . Of course, she also scolds Hans for being rude .
“It’s cute because her stomach is sticking out!”
“Nathawie come here . ”
“Yes?”
Rather, why am I surprised?
No, this isn’t the time to be asking this . The voice that was calling my name was coming closer .
Hans stepped back to an inconspicuous spot by the entrance, while Natalie wandered around looking for rubbish that wasn’t even on the floor .
“Lei!”
The door opened with a bang and Otou-sama flew into the room . Why didn’t Otou-sama knock?
“Lei?”
He looked around the room and wondered why I wasn’t here .
“Hans?”
“I’m here . ”
“Natalie . ”
“Yes? Pardon me, I’m in the middle of cleaning . ”
The two of them tried to deceive Otou-sama .
However, such small tricks didn’t work .
“Lei! Hide and seek?”
He found me in an instant . His experience in this is definitely different from the little ones from Farland .
“Th-thhere wash a bird outhshide . ” (Th-there was a bird outside)
Let’s pretend that I wasn’t hiding but watching a bird .
“A bird? If you want to watch birds, then I can have them fed outside the window . ”
“No . Thish ish thhe shecond fwoor . ” (No . This is the second floor)
It’s a room without a balcony for security . How would he feed them outside my window?
Otou-sama quickly scooped me up in his arms as I was thinking about this and turned to leave the room .
“Milord, where are you going?” Hans called out like a guard .
“My office . I can’t do my job without Lei by my side . ”
I think people wouldn’t be able to work with children around .
I love Otou-sama and I want to spend as much time with him as possible . However, Otou-sama seemed to have become much more anxious during the little time we were apart, and he won’t leave me alone for a short while when he was home .
I didn’t have to go to the castle as I have just returned, so I will be back at the castle next week . But Otou-sama has work to do and he has to go to the castle . Maybe that was why he came home earlier than usual, but because of that, he also brought his work home with him and ended up staying in his office .
And, he watches me loiter around his office as he works .
Frankly, it’s a pain in the butt .
“Lei-sama, let’s give up . ”
“Hans, what are you talking about?”
Otou-sama looked suspiciously at Hans, who had spoken to me very quietly . Well, I guess he’s only coming home this week, and it’ll work out somehow since I’ll be going back to the castle next week . Babies also need time alone . I clung tightly to Otou-sama’s neck for now .
“Were you lonely too, Lei?”
“Ai . ”
A lot of things happened, and I was with Nii-sama at night, so I can’t say that I had time to feel lonely .
Unlike a baby, Nii-sama couldn’t get special leave, so he had to go back to the dormitory as soon as he returned . I thought that Nii-sama would grieve, but he went back to the dormitory without complaining .
“I’m going to gather information on what has happened while I wasn’t here . It’s rare for a noble from another country to visit, and it’s also rare for the Four Marquises and royals to meet with a noble from Frontier . I’m sure they’ll be all sorts of rumours flying around . ”
Is that something a twelve year old thinks about? I looked at Nii-sama in admiration, and he patted my head and smiled .
“Of course, I’m thinking about meeting with Remington and Molesey . I’ll have you come with me then . ”
“Chrish! I have a preshenths for her!” (Chris! I have presents for her!)
“Aren’t you seeing Chris next week?”
Nii-sama chuckled at my excitement . The Remington and Molesey that Nii-sama was referring to was Felicia and Mark . In other words, the heirs of the Four Marquises .
I feel bad, but I’m glad I’m in a comfortable position .
After a week of not resting and resting, I’m going to the castle with Otou-sama today .
“Hmm, hmm, hmmm . ”
“Kyee . ” The Rug Dragon replied from outside of the carriage .
“I never thought that you would be so close to Prince Nicholas that you would look forward to going to the castle that much,” Otou-sama smiled wryly . It’s fine for me to have a good time, but it’s complicated to be good friends with royalty .
I tapped the package on my lap .
“I’m woowing forward tho giving Chrish her preshenths . ” (I’m looking forward to giving Chris her presents)
“I see . ”
Of course, it’s fun to see Nico, but I’m meeting Chris for the first time in a long time . I’m looking forward to giving her the gifts that I’d collected from the northern fief .
When I got to the castle, Chris was probably looking forward to seeing me because she was already waiting at the castle for me with a smiling Felicia . Of course, Nico was next to them .
“Lei!”
“Chrish!”
I had Hans help me down from the carriage and ran up to Nico and Chris .
“Chrish, are you weww?”
“Of course! I even had a blind date . ”
Chris crossed her arms and turned away in anger . I was curious about Felicia, who had a complex expression on her face next to Chris .
“Amazing!” I don’t know what’s amazing, but I said it anyway . Besides, doesn’t she want me to ask how it went? And, I also want to give her the presents .
“Lei, what’s that?”
“Nico, ith’sh thhoshe thhingsh . ”
“Those things, huh . ”
“Ai . ”
Nico looked at me questionably . Rude .
“Let’s go to the library first . I studied hard last week, so Odds-sensei gave me the day off . ”
“Nico, nice!”
I only spent time with Otou-sama last week . The royals sure have it hard . I have to praise him .
“Alright! Let’s go!”
“Ooh!”
“Wait!”
Thus, life returned to normal .
