Chapter 95.5 Making an Appearance

Translator: Isekai Shousetsu

How cuteits grandpappy you know!

Fiona curiously looks at father-in-laws face.

Fiona, who had just been born, still doesnt have that much of a developed eyesight. That said, father-in-law is very happy since its as if hes looking at his own image.

Yep, she completely takes after Julia. She was also like this when she was small, huhTo think that such a child would give birth to this one

Father-in-law suddenly sheds a tear. Its as if a strange switch had been flipped.

By the way, how is Tetra Ars?

Tetra? Shes with Ancus in the other room.

Ill probably only be a bother if I were there

While saying that, Tetra went to the other room.

Its not like Julia and I are minding it but, it seems Tetra herself is feeling awkward. Well, theres no particular reason to make her come either.

Thats not good huh. Call her over.

As per father-in-laws request, a slave calls over Tetra who immediately comes. You can clearly see the nervousness on her face.

In her arms is Ancus sleeping soundly.

I call her over and make her sit beside me. Ill always cover for her

Father-in-law laughs with a smile and says:

Please let me hold that child.

Eh!?

Tetra gives off a surprised expression. Even I am probably making such an expression. Its only natural but, Tetra and Father-in-law are not related by blood.

I thought surely hed say a warning or two.

Julias husband is my son. And that sons wife is my daughter. Doesnt it make that child my grandchild?

Father-in-law heartfully laughs.

Tetra makes a bewildered expression but she immediately stands up and carries Ancus towards father-in-law.

Please

Yeah.

Father-in-law holds Ancus as if handling a fragile article.

While looking at Ancus face, father in law

Yep, hes a good child. Hes your son. Im sure hell grow up into a wise man.

Thank you very much.

Tetra blushes a little while giving her thanks.

After father-in-law returned Ancus to Tetra, we make them take their leave.

And so, were left alone.

After a while, silence envelops the place.

The first to speak was father-in-law.

Listen here, regardless of whether or not the person himself has the intention, a conflict would arise. People that would willfully fan its flames are sure to appear.

I understand.

No matter what happens, Ill be protecting them. As a husband, as a father, and as king.

Ive seen my grandchildren. However, I still cant rest easy until I see the face of the crown prince.

Ill do my best.

The next King would be Julias son. Thats absolute. Otherwise, the country will be divided. The original meaning of my existence is to sire a son that would continue the blood of the Rosyth clan after all.

At the worst, we may end up making Ancus marry Fiona. If possible, I dont want that to happen.

I understand. Haa

In the worst case, itll become incest.

I dont know whether to lament or to be happy with the fact that that last option exists.
