Chapter 84: It Cant Be Helped, for this Is Training in Homemaking Arts

Princess Tsubaki.Urm, Tsubaki will get married into the elfs family as my daughter, therefore it was decided that she will undergo training in homemaking arts here, on my domain. Everyoneyou do understand, right?

Yes sir! We will have her become a daughter that wont bring shame on the Dukes Household!

It cant be helped if this is training in homemaking arts-nya. Ill have her become charming enough for a long living elf-nya!

As for her maid experience, well have her start from a 1000 times practice-swinging.

Shell be entering the Dukes Household, so she must be able to survive on the foremost lines.

Do maids really do practice-swinging?

I felt surprise at the excessive motivation the maids and the black knights showed.

I left all the excited muscle brains inside the conference room and I returned to my office.

For some reason I decided to ignore, for it was probably my imagination, the disturbing lineTraining equipment for a womans charm.

Oh my..Welcome back, Zest-sama.

(Welcome back, Dad!)

..You.you two look like youre having fun.

Beas eyes lost all their light as she peeledsomethingoff and stockpiled theflakesinto a pot.

Totos eyes looked unfocused as she stared at empty space, while pouring her magical power into the pot.

Something black rose up from that pot and I think I saw a magical charm inside it. But I might be mistaken.

I opened the letter on my desk and started to read.

Grandson-in-law-dono, before she marries, she must be disciplined until the point she understands what happens if she looks down on the Dukes Household and the Frontier Counts Household.

I leave it in your care!

The Count put an emphasis on the last sentence.

I put the letter away and glanced at the two girls.

They were still working onthat thing, their smiles constantly present on their faces.

I used all my magical power to strengthen my quivering voice as I began to ask them.

.What is that youre making there?

Zest-sama, this is the maidens secret medicine.

(Its a girls secret!)

Then..it cant be helped.

My office resounded with their seemingly eternal devilish giggling.

Keep itkeep it moderate, okay?

The Frontier Count and Tsubaki arrived the same day; we greeted them at the capitals entrance gate. However.

Since she was a 12 or 13 years old child, I would only try to scare her a bit then let her off.

That was my planin the beginning..

Having to come to such a countryside place.its a huge bother.

Yes, this is not appropriate for the Princess.

Hey you! Dont come too close to the Princess!

Tsubakis lady attendants were wearing strong perfume that stuck in my nostrils.

Oh my, is this Zest-sama? You are not very thoughtful, it seems. I am tired. Dont you see? Well, it cant be helped. Youre only good at fighting, after all.

During those two years we havent met, Tsubaki completely transformed into a splendidly stupid young lady.

Grandson-in-law-dono, this is serious talk. If you dont educate her, it will get ugly.Since shes coming from a scheming household, I thought that she would be taught the same, but I was wrong. They only managed to aggravate her selfishness.

The Frontier Count showed a bitter face.

You believe that shes part of an imperial family, so she must have elegant skills, but what you see is this mess.

Albert, send the attendants back. Theyre a hindrance.

Yes sir! Immediately!

The lady attendants were thrown into the carriage, regardless of their screaming and struggle, and sent away.

I didnt give a damn about the girl who shouted that she was the daughter of a count or something.

Now it was time to deal withthe person in question.

Tsubaki was dumbfounded, but I informed her nonetheless.

Starting today youre my daughter and you will become one whos worthy of being part of the Dukes Household. You can only answer with Yes and Understood.

Su.such disrespect! If father finds out about this, you will

Tsubaki ventured to say that much.

But obviously, the black knights and the maids unit, filled with killing intent, encircled her.

I am your foster father now, so give up already. His Majesty himself took care of the arrangementsHe expressly sent you here.

However, if its only about making her your adopted daughter, she could still continue living in the imperial capital.Those imperial capital nobles are good for nothing. This was supposed to be their job.

Your Majesty, dont you think youre pushing me too far?.

Ill discuss this matter with the Frontier Count later.

Bea, I leave you in charge of her training in homemaking arts.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, with pleasure!

(You stink! Tsubaki, you really stink! We must wash you!)

.Hm? Is it that Toto doesnt like perfumes?

I dont really think that Tsubaki stinks.

I saw Tsubaki off as the maids unit took her away, then walked towards my office together with the Count.

It was time to discuss how we were going to harass his Majesty for what hed done to us.

I never imagined that Tsubaki could ever become like that. What is the imperial family doing!?.

I was shocked. She wont manage to infiltrate the elves country with that attitude..

Yes, thats impossible. The Emperor is forcing too much onto us. Shall we give him a little warning? What do you say, grandson-in-law-dono?

He grinned broadly and continued with a shivering smile, one that I havent seen in a long time.

This is nothing more than a military training organized by me and grandson-in-law-dono. It will take place near the imperial capital. Theres no problem if all we do is train, right? And I dont really care what the other party will think about it.

And so, the combined military training organized by the Dukes Household and the Frontier Counts Household started and the imperial capital trembled violently; they strongly believed that they were experiencing a rebellion.
