VF 115 The Never Changing Princess

SimplicityWeb Novel [ ]September 19, 20223 Minutes

[That seems to be quite the interesting story.]

Im currently engaged in a heated debate with Jake (though hes clearly uninterested) regarding the charms of trips and travels while we work on the documents inside my office when Princess Serena arrived so suddenly.

*Bows* (Jake)

*glance* (Jake)

[I didnt hear anything of you gracing our estate today, your highness princess Serena.] (Calis)

It was Jakes glance as he bowed his head that gave me the signal that there shouldnt be any appointments, either with me or Laurel, regarding Serensama for this day. Jake left after such a brief gesture and when I turned back towards the princess, she greeted me with an enigmatic grin on her face.

[I wanna see you so I came over.] (Serena)

[You mean Laurel?] (C)

[I actually have some business with you, Duke Fall. I do apologize for the sudden intrusion but arent we close enough to not need one at all?.] (S)

[Forgive me, your highness, but Im afraid were not really closer than acquaintances.] (C)

The words of this girl are so provocative that could easily lead to misunderstandings. I cant really put my guard down against her.

Besides, I am no lolicon. And more importantly, Sasha aside, I can only feel disgust with other women.

If, by some chance, her words actually reaches Sasha and she misunderstands what actually is happening, she might get anxious and unnecessarily get hurt.

Considering how fragile my wifes current state is right now, I want to avoid even the slightest chance that might cause her heart any kind of disturbance. Especially if its just because of someones unnecessary mouth. So, doing my best not to appear so insolent

*Glares* (Calis)

Stop fooling around. Im warning you.

[Fufufu, well, enough of that. Going back, a family vacation sure sounds interesting, dont they?] (S)

*internal sigh* (Calis)

She didnt even flinch. This Princess is really something.

[Indeed. Thats why were looking forward to completing an itinerary right immediately.] (C)

Not that it will happen sooner or later.

Still, Ill make sure that this wish of mine will come true.

[Considering the duchess who appears to be pregnant, and Laurel-san aside, the other kids are too young, it seems itd take months, or maybe years, at least.] (S)

[That may be the case. However, as their father, Id take it upon myself for it to actually happen.] (C)

[That sure sounds grand, but to be frank, dont you just want to take a break and have some family time?] (S)

She got me

This place isnt like modern Japan. However, getting time off and actually spending some time with my family is as difficult, nobles we may be Whats more, back when I hadnt recovered the memories of my other life, Calis disregarded his job in the territory and focused on the military which leaves me with such a very large backlog. It now came to the point that everyday moments arent enough to mend my exhausted heart.

Aaaah, this desire to spend more time and be closer with the children and my wife Im sure its just another form of love.

Not that I want to procrastinate. This is love.

[Well, to be honest, I dont care and you can just do whatever you like. But the reason I am here is theres something Id like to ask.] (S)

[What is it?] (C)

It feels to me that theres something ominous about this business though.

[Would you take Seryu around the castle town?] (S)

Now thats something that didnt come to mind.
