Felicia’s voice was full of passion .
“I only wanted to do one thing . I care about the people of Easter and Kingdom, but there’s one thing that’s most important to me and that’s keeping Chris happy . That’s all . ”
I don’t think Felicia would be able to think of her own happiness before her duty as long as she is one of the heads of the Four Marquis Houses .
“Chris loves Okasama and Otou-sama . I thought it was unjust to separate her from Okasama . I also wondered what would happen to her position in Easter if we were gone . ”
I saw Otou-sama and Stan-ojisama make eye contact for a moment above our heads . It’s a difficult position to be in .
“Still, I didn’t want to see Chris with glassy eyes . It’s selfish of me . And when we returned to Kingdom, all I could think about was Lei . ”
I hugged Felicia tighter .
“Wewcome bacw Fewicia . ”
“Lei what should I have done…?”
“You did fine . Ith’sh awrighth . ”
For a moment, the room fell into an unspeakable silence . It’s indeed shameful that the royal family nor the Four Marquis adults nor the Remington relatives thought of relying on Felicia and it was up to a two-year-old, me, who managed to come up with an idea .
Felicia’s eyelids began to close since she felt relieved from talking about it . Then, Otou-sama cleared his throat .
“The Albans will take care of both Felicia and Chris in a responsible manner now that they’ve come to our house . Felicia, you don’t have to worry about the future . ”
“Dean-ojisama, thank you very much . ”
“Hmm . We’ll talk about it later . Get some rest for now . ”
“Okay . ”
Felicia accompanied the maid and got ready to rest . We decided to move to another location .
I was given a quick rundown of what had happened once we settled in the parlour .
Felicia said that her Otou-sama had secretly let her escape and they headed straight to the border . She was protected by Graces, who just happened to be checking on the border, and they headed straight to the royal capital with little rest . It’s amazing that Graces waited at the border since he thought something might happen .
Hans looked proud of his successor, but I think Graces is brilliant .
“Graces’s march was really forceful . I’m surprised Felicia managed to endure it . ”
Otou-sama looked at Graces with a slightly raised eyebrow .
“As expected, I wouldn’t make a lady push herself like I did with you, Milord . ”
“So, you were testing it on me?”
“Hah, no . Hmm…”
Graces looked away subtly . I wonder if something happened between them a long time ago .
“Anyway, Remington claimed that she went to Easter because she wanted to the other day . If that’s the case, then Felicia is in Kingdom of her own accord . I have no problem with that,” Molesey-ojisama said . Molesey-ojisama isn’t flexible, but he has a simple way of thinking about the Four Marquises, which I think is good since it’s a clear guide . Otou-sama nodded, put his hand on his chin and then counted the things that will happen .
“They can live here . ”
“I’m not sure about that . ”
“No . ”
Juliobasama and I looked at each other as we interrupted Otou-sama at the same time . Then we both nodded . We haven’t talked much, but she’s Gill’s Okasama, so she must be a good person .
“Why are you against it, Lei? I know you want me all to yourself, but I thought you would want Chris to stay here with us . ”
Otou-sama is like this . I shrugged my shoulders, “Otou-syama, Lei wovesh bothh Chrish and Fewicia . ”
“I know you do . ”
“But, Otou-syama ish wrong . Otou-syama woves Lei and Nii-syama . ”
“Of course . ”
Otou-sama’s face was asking why this mattered .
“You’re an idiot, Dean . You really don’t get it . ”
“What did you say, Julia?”
Otou-sama looked at Juliobasama in surprise .
“Lei, you know, is saying what would happen if Chris sees Lei being treasured by her Otou-sama . ”
“Is that true, Lei?”
“Ai . ”
That’s Juliobasama . She knew what I wanted to say .
“If you can take care of Chris in the same way as you do Lei then it would be fine for her to stay here . But you can’t . ”
“… Unthinkable . ”
Honestly, this is a big challenge for Otou-sama .
“In that respect, we only have Gill, and he’s staying in the dorms right now . Stan and I will take care of Chris since Gill isn’t at the age where he has to be spoiled anymore . I think Felicia needs a mother figure in her life too . ”
“S-so it’s like that . ”
Otou-sama was flustered, but I think he’s made a lot of progress since he said he would take them in . I’m proud of him .
“Dean, I think it’s better to do what Julia says . We’ll take care of Felicia and Chris like a family . We’ll all think about whether we’ll let them act independently as a Remington in the near future . ”
“They’ww come over a woth?”
I’d really like to be with Chris, but this way is better .
“Yeah, Lei . I’ll bring them here . Gill will sulk, so can he come too?”
“Of courshe!”
“You’ll come again?” Nii-sama said happily . I’m happy too . Of course, Mark can come too . I nodded at the silent Mark .
“I’m glad to be included,” he looked pathetic but happy .
The next day when Felicia and Chris had calmed down, Juliobasama and Stan-ojisama came over and we all had a talk with Otou-sama and I . We told Chris that she wouldn’t be going back to Easter for a while and that she would be away from her father and mother .
Chris seemed to have understood that they had separated and nodded meekly .
“Chris, I’m sure you want to be with Lei, but I don’t think the Albans would be able to take care of a girl since Dean is the only one around . I’d like Chris and Felicia to come to the Lisburns since I can be with you all the time,” Juliobasama spoke firmly with a serious expression on her face .
“Chris’s Okasama is in Easter, but you can think of me as your Okasama in Kingdom,” she added . Chris looked at Felicia and nodded when she saw that Felicia was smiling . But she shook her head saying that Juliobasama didn’t have to be her mother .
“Juliobasama . I may be far away, but I still have an Okasama, so it’s alright . If I have an Okasama in Kingdom as well, then I’ll have two . ”
“You can have thwo . Nii-syama awsho hash thwo . ”
Claire-okaasama and Dianobasama . Isn’t it fine to have two Okasamas?
“Lei doesn’t even have a mother, it’s too much for me to have two mothers . ”
“Chrish…”
I was a little embarrassed since I didn’t expect her to feel that way . I’m a rare case .
Does she feel sorry for me since I don’t have an Okasama? I crossed my arms and pondered while the people around us were surprised and unable to say anything . Of course, my arms are folded properly .
I miss her, but I don’t ever think about it too much since I’m busy trying to survive . That’s right . I uncrossed my arms and tapped my chest .
“Lei’sh Cwaire-Okasyama ish here . So, I have an Okasyama . ”
“Lei,” Otou-sama whispered . I’ll keep Okasama in my heart .
“And Juwiobasyama ish awsho Lei’sh okasyama, sho I have thwo . ”
“Can you add another Okasama in your life like that?”
“It’s okay, come here Lei and Chris . ”
I pulled Chris’s hand and walked towards Juliobasama . There’s no need to hesitate when you’re being hugged by someone you like . Even if it’s not your real Okasama . Juliobasama hugged us tightly .
“I wonder how many Okasamas you can have . ”
“I think two is enough for now,” the room filled with laughter as Juliobasama replied in a subtle voice .
I’m sure Chris will miss her Okasama in the future . Still, I hope that the people around her can support her at those times .
