A Glimpse of her Potential

SimplicityWeb Novel [ ]July 5, 20233 Minutes

[Anoo~, Duke-sama~]

[Is something the matter?]

[This might sound too sudden but~, will you be talking directly to the king~?]

Akari sits right in front of me as she asks. Were currently in a carriage and Laurels sitting by my side.

Why would she asks something like this? I thought shes just some pure and nave kid.

[Indeed. But I dont think it needs to be done right away. ]

Considering the current political balance of the kingdom, theres no way Id be able to receive a quick response even if I report what happened to his majesty. As such, there should be no problem even if I report it at a later date.

Well, while its true that Id need the countrys backing sooner or later, now isnt the time.

This case in particular. I believe it would be faster if I took action myself so Id rather take this matters into my own. I dont want to drag this mess longer than necessary.

At least thats what I want to proceed. As for his majesty, Ill leave it to Serensama on how to deal with him.

Its not that Im being irresponsible. Its just that Serensama has her own network and connections. Furthermore, as the kings daughter, it isnt rare for her to give opinions to her father from time to time. Now that I think about it, isnt her presence kind of convenient at times like this? Hehe

Or rather, what was that person doing before reincarnation well, I wouldnt want to dwell to much on it.

Lets let sleeping dogs lie. Not that Im particularly interested as well.

[Is that so~, if the Duke says so, then it must be fine~.] (A)

[Yeah, we just need to leave it to Father!] (L)

[Ofcourse~ Laurel-samas father such an amazing figure after all~] (A)

[Thats right! You know, Father is like] (L)

Daughter, dear. Youre breaking your young lady persona in real time though?

Laurels been acting prim and proper recently as a result of her studies so seeing her this excited talking about me actually feels embarrassing yet happy. Hehe. Youre so cute, daughter dear!

But Akari Im more surprised by this child actually. I wonder whats with her that shes able to break down Laurels walls that easily?

Im just listening to them but she has her own ways to direct the conversation and let the other person open up to her. I wonder if its a natural thing for her, or?

[Sweets, you say~?] (A)

[Yeah. Fathers really good in making sweets!] (L)

[Ohh~ that sounds nice~~ I wonder if Id be able to try them sometime~] (A)

[Lets do bake when we get back home, then. Would you like to eat some sweets as well, dear?] (C)

[Yey!] (L)

Please dont ask me if I have the luxury of the time to actually do some.

Id just work overtime. That will make up for the time lost, right?

Sleep? Dont need it.

No matter how urgent a matter is, nothing will be more important than my family. I will never make the mistake of not knowing who or what to put first in my list of priorities.

I didnt know when exactly but Laurels now sitting on my lap.

And Akari is now sitting by my side.

Seems to me their chemistry is really great. Perhaps theyre fated to meet? Thats what I think but not like Id actually say so.

I mean, theres no need for me to say it anymore seeing the kids happily giggle.

What a relaxing way to go home.
