Since I’ve Reincarnated as the Villainess’ Father, I’ll Shower My Wife and Daughter in Love Chapter 43 - His Majesty’s Invitation

c43 His Majesty’s Invitation

“An invitation?”

“Yes. It looks like an invitation to a small tea party hosted by His Majesty, the King”

As the person to handle my paperwork, my secretary immediately reported the matter to me. He passed the letter to me, and I quickly read over what it had written. What he had said was not a lie, but the letter invited me, as well as Laurier and Sasha to the tea party. This is…

“This timing is a bit poor…”

Although Sasha has been stable for a while not, I still didn’t feel secure going out for an extended period of time. I don’t want Sasha to go through any trouble. What should I do…?

“Lord Callis, I don’t believe you would refuse this.”

“Zeke. Stop quietly reading my mind.

As of late, Zeke has understood my personality and has been nonchalantly reading my heart. It’s incredible to say the least, but I’m not quite happy with it. If Sasha and Laurier could read my mind, however… No, that would be no good. If my affection could be transmitted to them, it may surprise them too much. Actually, if it’s those two, they would accept it without worrying about it… Laurier’s adorable smile and Sasha’s shyness would be a sight to see, but….

I was forced from my tangent by the need of answering Zeke’s question.

“It will all depend on Sasha’s physical condition. Also, if Sasha and Laurier don’t like it, I’ll turn it down.”

“You’ll decline his Majesty’s tea party invitation!?”

“His Majesty would not mind this at all. Well, the other nobles will make a racket, but that doesn’t matter.”

To be blunt, my first priority is my family; the country is secondary. Of course it’s important to look and plan for the future, but I don’t want to miss out on the happiness in front of me. It’s a waste to look ahead but ignore what is happening in front of you.

This may not be the best way to think as a good nobleman, but in my mind, if I can’t protect what’s precious to me, I don’t deserve to be a nobleman in the first place. If this Otome game set country makes Laurier and Sasha unhappy, I would have no qualms traveling with only the two of them and a sword in hand. In an emergency, we have an escape route, and I have been planning with the other employees in a bad situation, so no matter what happens, it will be fine.

While it is certainly disrespectful to ignore the tea ceremony hosted by the king himself, but I think it will be okay because he is not the sort of man who would be angered at such a small detail.

However, if the rest of the aristocrats find out about it, the will certainly use it as material to attack us, but it’s not a problem because there isn’t much to do with it.

Well, whatever….

“The first thing to do is consulting with Sasha and Laurier about their thoughts.”

“I don’t know what the two of them are going to say, but I will do what they really want, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”
