Inherent Qualities

SimplicityWeb Novel [ ]October 9, 20223 Minutes

[I Ive kept you waiting, Duke Fall. Please take good care of me today.] (Seryu)

Im currently with Laurel waiting on our assigned meeting spot when Prince Seryu arrives wearing plain clothes that would blend well with the populace of the castle town. Seems like he has a good understanding of todays task.

Still, even though he has good inherent qualities, the fact that he could blend properly in the populace shows that my daughters looks are superior to him. Laurels cute and charming regardless what she wears, you know! But, I will keep my victorious smirk behind my poker face.

[We will be under your care as well. Still, considering your trainings progress, I hardly believe you need an escort in the first place. However, for security purposes, I would appreciate it if youd take caution and be careful not to stray away from me.] (Calis)

Objectively speaking, the prince has genius level talents.

And with the training that hed undergone for the past few months, he is now strong enough to toy with any common bandit and alike.

Still, the prince is still a child and being the crown prince at that, Id still have to remind him to be careful even if just a little.

[Understood. Please take care of me as well for today, lady Laurel.] (Sry)

[I would be asking the same, Seryu-sama.] (Laurel)

Goodness. I know this might sound biased but seeing how refined Laurels mannerism and elegance is makes me so proud of how a sophisticated young lady she had become!

Are these signs of favoritism? I dont know. But seeing her growth reminds me as well that the time I have to hand her over to someone is getting close. *Sighh*

[Now then as for our disguise would it be okay for you Seryu-sama to pretend to be my child? Youll be Laurels little brother as well.] (C)

[G-gladly! It would be an honor!] (Sry)

an honor?

This setup had already been decided around the time when I heard that Id be going out with Seryu-sama to the castle town.

It was suggested by Serensama herself, so Id get it if he isnt surprised but why does this kid look so happy?

Laurels kind of displeased about the setup when she first heard it, but Looking at her right now with a pretty little smile on her lips, perhaps she isnt anymore bothered about it?

But as I was in the middle of thinking

[Then, Ill be under your care as well, Duke Fall.] (Serena)

To be honest, I want to believe that Serensama, whos been the source of all this trip and setup, would have changed her mind and not attend this outing so I tried to forget her existence. In fact, Id rather not acknowledge it.

Still My task for today is to guard Seryu-sama, with him alone as the individual I have to prioritize regardless of whos with him right now Still, Ill just lay low and make sure that Laurel is safe and properly secured and Serensama as well, yeah.

[Please leave it to me. Afterall, based on todays setup youre my daughter as well being the older sister of Laurel, is it] (Calis)

*Hugs Laurel* (Serena)

[Correct. Afterall, Ive been wanting to have a little sister like Laurel, you know? And even if were just acting, I want Seryu to remain as my sibling.] (Srn)

*Smirk*(Srn)

To be honest, I dont want to bother myself with whatevers running inside this girls head. However shes still a friend of Laurel so I cant really just ditch her no matter whats the case.

[Well, lets go.] (C)
