Since I’ve Reincarnated as the Villainess’ Father, I’ll Shower My Wife and Daughter in Love
93 Punishment game in the name of friendship
"Finally, you're here..."
Bitterly, I read the paperwork at hand. I expected this to happen, but I still don't like it when it comes. I try to round up the paperwork and throw it in the trash, but before that, Deacon Sieg stops me.
"Get off me, Sieg. Just throw away the trash."
"You shouldn't, Master Callis. Never throw away a letter from His Majesty the King, no matter how much you say it is because of your affair with Lord Laurier."
Yes, it's about an affair with Laurier, who's almost five years old, who came to me. Besides, we're talking about your engagement to Master Sellew. Well, I've had an approach for a long time, so naturally, but I still can't help but think of that fucking sire.
"Totally... how many times do I have to say no?"
"But this is a formal engagement offer. It's not easy to say no."
"I know, but... it still comes to mind"
I do not deny political marriage. I don't know what else to do because I'm noble, but if I can, I want Laurie to marry someone who thinks she's happy, no, it's not just Laurie. The same goes for Mint and Basil. I want you to be happy to be tied to someone you like, whether you're in a different capacity or a different country. I know it's parental arrogance, but I still want my kids to be happy.
"Now, how do you say no when..."
"No, no, Master Callis. It'll be tough on boulders this time."
"What is it?
"You know that. The queen of this land deserves nothing more than a young lady."
"I don't know."
Sure, it's about Laurier who's fit for both the housekeeping and the current situation, but that's only an adult circumstance. It doesn't make a child carry it.
"Plus the lady will be five soon. I never went over to make my fiancée early."
"That's right on logic. But does that make her happy?
"The lady is a wise man. You must understand."
"Right. That kid is smart. But it's my kid. However, it would be nonsense to involve children in adult situations."
Having said that, I can only admit that I do need to. And then it depends on how Laurier feels... if any of you don't like Laurier, let's say no to anything. That's why I've worked so hard to this day. Totally impossible. But this one has a wife's hand. If you activate it, you'll be able to grasp the flow here. With that in mind, I threw out the paperwork and left the room behind.
I need to see Laurier for a change of mood and future policy. Whatever the answer is, I will definitely try to protect my family.
