Since I’ve Reincarnated as the Villainess’ Father, I’ll Shower My Wife and Daughter in Love
117 Your Highness of Determination
"Duke of Fall. I need to talk to you. Are you sure?
When I was working, I heard Mr. Sellew with Konton and Knock. When I replied with a little surprise that I had not yet returned, Mr. Selew came in with the expression of his determination to do something.
"What is it?
"I have a favor for the Duke of Fall."
"I don't know if I can help you, but let's hear it."
Master Sellew said he was clear after breathing several times.
"Please be on my side."
"... what exactly do you mean?
Somehow, even as we could anticipate the expansion, Master Sellew looked straight at us and said so.
"My relationship with Miss Laurier is a fiancé" candidate. "I'm not officially engaged. I hear that the Duke of Fall and I, Miss Laurier, are willing to enter into an engagement if we find a way to get to each other."
"Yes, because it is necessary for both young people."
"Unfortunately, Miss Laurier and I don't seem to have the right path to follow."
I see... have you cut out for your thoughts? I admire clean judgment only a little.
"Is that with the realization that Master Sellew was able to think people through?
"Yes, I like Mephi the Samurai."
"I see... so the only reason I'm asking you to be on my side is if you want Mephi to be taken as an adopted son in my house and then sent off as Master Sellew's fiancée?
"No. Just a little different."
That it's not that route? Then the answer is...
"I want you to help me get to the throne as soon as possible."
"... I see. So you're saying you're dragging His Majesty down from the throne?
"Yes, I want the Duke of Fall to do his part for the new country I'm going to make."
"Can you fight against your own father?
To the words, Master Sellew nodded and said as if he had decided to meditate on something after just a few eyes.
"Yes. I don't like more people like Mephi anymore. When I look into it, many other nobles do something similar or stopping by to be okay with terrible things against their children. So I will change this country. And we'll build a country where we can walk with Mephi."
"It's going to be harsh. Somehow we will abandon the ancient raccoons of the nobility and create a new era."
"I'm ready. I'll do anything for you."
I'm just a little surprised by the stiff determination. I didn't know you were going to say you were going to change the country... which I did consider a possibility, but I didn't expect this weak kid to say that. But for once I have to ask as a father.
"What are you going to do about Laurier?
"... I want to have a good relationship with Miss Laurier in the future. If you're engaged, I'd like you to just look at me for a while."
"I see... you're taking Mephi, not Laurier"
"Yes. I also spoke to Miss Laurier herself earlier. Then he smiled and supported me."
My daughter is amazing... she lowers her head as she tries not to show it after being damaged plainly.
"Please. Please help me."
Well, what's the matter? Sure, I was trying to change this country, but I didn't know the target was going to change the country himself. It's funny that it's a child because it's totally this. I'm sorry to keep you busy, but I do need a lot of strength to protect Sasha and Laurier. Ma, changing your head won't change much in the end, but it will still be somewhat better.
"Let's at least cooperate. After that, do your best."
Well, it would be easier if we had a revolution with Selieu, who is motivated in the main, and Serena, the reincarnator, taking the lead. I'm just protecting my family. With that in mind, I decided to work hard to bring Lord Selew to the throne from this day forward.
