VF 078 Sashas Panic

[A banquet, is it?] (Sasha)

Sasha is currently having her tea as she asks in wonder. I cant help but smile seeing her innocent appearance as I explain further.

[Correct. Its a party being hosted by the King himself and he wants everyone to attend with a partner. If youd accept, I would love to have you attend the banquet with me.] (Calis)

[I dont mind it but, for me to wear a dress right now is a bit] (Sasha)

[It will be fine. Ill take care of it.] (Calis)

[You, dear? Really?] (Sasha)

I want to keep the matters a mystery until the last minute so I keep my face expressionless as I confirm Sashas inquiry.

[Theres someone I know that actually does a pretty good job with this sort of stuff.] (Calis)

[Then, there should be no problem, I guess] (Sasha)

Sasha still appears to be doubtful so even if I dont want to reveal anything, I cant help but be a little mushy and gently assure her.

[Is there anything else that bothers you?] (Calis)

[No, I dontreally] (Sasha)

But even if she said that, I decided to just patiently wait for her to express whats in her mind as I look into her eyes.

[Its just its really been a long time since I went to a banquet so Im not sure if Id be able to really fit in]

[Do you really think that you wont be able to fit in the banquet? Or perhaps you personally dont believe youll fit in yourself?]

[Its probably both To be honest, Im actually a little bit excited about it, but uhm my figure isnt really the same anymore after giving birth Im Im afraid I can only show my dear husband an unsightly appearance]

S-Sasha!!! For my wife too still be conscious of me after all this time, how cuter could you get! I cant help but get thrilled by her more but I calm myself remembering that I first need to reassure her so I walk closer to her, give her a warm embrace, and gently stroke her hair.

[Everything will be fine. Sasha, you will always shine more brilliantly in my eyes than any jewel in these lands. Besides, if someone actually dares to say something about my beautiful wife, theyd better prepare themselves cause Ill protect you with everything I have.]

[My dear]

[My apologies as well, Sasha. As much as I want to be able to understand your feelings the best it seems like I still have a long way to go myself.]

[P-please dont apologize! I I feel the same way too I I want to know a lot more about you as well, dear husband]

Sashas actually panicking! So damn cute! Ah, spending time with Sasha is really the best!

Time pass as we enjoyed our sweet moment with such thoughts swirling in my head.

[I see So thats why you actually came looking for me.] Serina)

Were now currently in a different room and Ive just finished explaining the situation to Serinsama who came into the house to visit and play with Laurel.

[I cant believe youd dare to ask me to make your wifes dress on top of your daughters But, Laurels mom is actually cute too, so fine, I wont mind.]

[I really appreciate that youd take on this job, but you better remember that I wont just watch if you actually dare to lay your hands on my wife.]

[Fufufufufu, you dont need to glare at me like that. Even someone like me wont lay a finger on someone elses wife. I also have a lovable fianc to boot too.]

Macbeth-san, my condolences.

[Do whatever you want with your fianc but make sure to do the job properly.]

[Well, of course. But for you to order jobs to such a little girl like me, this could be called child abuse, you know?]

[Hahahaha, I wonder if there really is a little girl that has cheat-like sewing skills that can topple the whole clothing industry.]2

[Fufufufu, who knows]

The room is now filled with laughter that doesnt reach our eyes. Our conversation is actually pretty rotten but Im pretty conscious of myself so I wont deny I have some schemer tendencies as well. You know, for someone like me who doesnt really have that sharpest head, the best thing I can only do is to scheme and plot ahead.

Anyway, with that awkward atmosphere around the air, I was able to secure Sashas dress for the banquet. All thats left is the delivery of the jewel I prepared and everything will be perfect.
