"Julia, when were you coming home? I didn't know!
"Last night, late. I thought I'd say hello, because my mother-in-law was already off..."
"So you gave that guy a proper greeting? I woke up first."
"... Yes, just now. I wanted to say hello to you last night because you were awake."
"Yes, that's fine."
My mother-in-law, who grinned, looks in a very, very good mood.
I guess I can't wait to be glad that Merek got better luck than that because I'm back. 'Cause there's something you don't seem to see about me.
to the evidence.
"Yes, the Earl of Purvas, my biological home, is here to help you meet Melek and the daughter of the Earl of Celeste! Hehe, thanks to you too! I've only ever been taken lightly by the Viscount, but now this house is going to leap forward."
"Mother-in-law..."
Something much bitter spreads through my chest.
My delightful mother-in-law and I are in the opposite mood.
I didn't do anything, well... as a result, I got to know Count Celeste, and I changed my words. It's a fact I learned recently that you were a senior at Aldar, and Miss Ortans somehow respects me? Regardless of the strange phenomenon.
I just found a job I could punch in.
I found it in my vague thought that I would be tied up as a nobleman's warrant for things like marriage and house fences (smudges), such a path. I just met someone who appreciated it because I worked hard seriously...... to be honest, I've just acted unspoilt the Fandid family name and never acted for the Fandid family.
Oh, no, your father did something for the Fandid family in the summer, huh?
But that was also the first time I knew what was going on and I acted that I didn't want the Fandid family to fall apart... I wonder if I was able to make a proper contribution to my parents' home.
"What's going on?
"No."
"Thanks to you, I'm sure the Fandid family will continue to develop with the Viscount, with more joy, okay? Melek's already awake, and after this, we need to talk about getting ready for a face-to-face! My father, Count Purvas, will be here in the afternoon, so we need to get the least done by then! My brother is coming too. Ugh, that's unusual. Hey, brothers and sisters didn't get along very well, but just because my son welcomes brides from famous homes is the difference in this treatment!
……
Oh, whoa.
You're a little scared of your mother-in-law's shabby!?
The feeling that it was kind of bitter disappeared... it's amazing in a way!
But wait, that, when you calm down. Isn't that strange?
"Mother-in-law"
"What?
"… why don't we all have breakfast for now and talk about it calmly?
"Oh yeah! Yes I did!!
Laughing mother-in-law seems so happy no more.
Yeah, you lived in such a cramped way at home...? I thought marriage was the one who said a lot of happy things about women, but maybe that's what they've been saying all along at home?
Nevertheless, "I could only marry the Viscount"... and Count Purvas found my mother-in-law's daughter-in-law... only a man named my father... whoa, silence.
I dropped off my mother-in-law, who was gently ahead of me, and accidentally leaked a sigh, then a little.
Because your father is giving you half a peek in the face from the study! I'm scared!!
"Father..."
"Julia, did I offend you...?
"... eh"
What, is your mother-in-law's high tension through now?
You surprised me that way. No, well, as far as I'm concerned, I was definitely shocked that I was frustrated with your discussion with your father...
"I've been loving you properly, as my daughter. Sora, you're an unreliable father, and you annoyed me by doing something that wasn't Rokuro... and that's why I made the statement just now if I thought you'd be happy."
"Father."
Oh, already. I have memories of a previous life. So clumsy.
That's what I thought.
I still think so.
But, yeah? Yulia von Fundid is indeed the daughter of this house and the daughter of this clumsy person.
You think you're loved, and I feel it, too.
Maybe I was too bad at sweetening, and your father was too bad at dealing with his daughter.
Because your mother, who is supposed to come in between, died right after she gave birth to me.
"Father, I have no choice but to work. I enjoy working. Her Royal Highness is kind and wise. My boss, the chief samurai, is a tough woman, but a respectable woman."
"Yu, Yulia?
"From your father's perspective, I may be a pitiful and pathetic daughter. I lost my mother early and I can't say I look good The only reason I don't come back out on a customary behavioral apprenticeship is... maybe I even seemed to give up those paths"
I realize now that I had to start a cool parent-child fight.
I'm sure your father will soon understand.
Even so.
I'm a little... No, pretty? Even if she was an unusual daughter.
Your father clearly said 'I love you' now.
Is it okay for me to pretend?
Mostly, have we ever bumped into each other? That was never the case.
Because I avoided it. Your father is not the only one responsible for not building the parent-child relationship that you should have. I wonder if you can tell me that Ning Lo is very much in me.
Because I behaved like an adult based on my memories of my previous life.
"I know that your father, who lost his mother and lost his support, worked hard as a lord. So I thought I shouldn't say anything."
"... eh"
"I am, indeed, late from the public's point of view... and that, you may very well say, is beautiful. We also know that there are various rumors flying around with Aldar. But that's not all. By working, I learned how grateful you are to acknowledge it."
"Julia......?
"Now there are some cute juniors, and they live very fulfilling.... As a result, if you let the Fandid family do some good, I'm glad. But..."
After that, words don't come out well.
I'm going to be spinning my words hard. There is no such thing as good speech.
I'm sure even your father will be confused when I suddenly start saying a lot of this.
Even I didn't think I was clumsy so far.
"... sorry, Father. I just really want your father to know.... properly, that. I'd like to talk more. I thought you'd understand by now."
……
"But you can't do that, can you? I should have talked to your father a lot more. She's a big girl, and I'm so sorry. When you're done talking about Merek's engagement, will you make time with me, too?
"Oh, oh... of course. Aren't we parents and children?"
"Thank you, Father. … why don't we head to breakfast too"
"... right"
Your father came out of the study to escort me and offered me an arm. Honestly, I laughed a little bit because your father said, "You're a total lady..."
I'm sure we're not communicating enough. Marriage. Whatever you say, you're a lady! Your father laughed like he was in trouble about what he said.
We don't have to understand each other today. We may not understand each other tomorrow.
No, there's also the possibility that if I suck, Count Purvas will come and it won't be there!?
I hope not, I kind of feel like I've finally taken a step!
