Shinario-dōri ni Taijō Shita no ni, Imasara Nan no Goyōdesu ka?

Your father closed his eyes to remember and rubbed his eyebrows for a while. When he opened his eyes again, he had dark eyes that were cold.

"... that stupid prince and his tail are hidden in the new American fox... I wondered how you'd cook it."

It's usually mild, and I'm afraid of the gap when I'm just angry, although I thought when I was scolded six months ago, the quality of my anger is different now.

By analogy, that was as intense as a bomb burst. Now… there is a creepy feeling that Magma flushes with the fuzz in the volcano.

"Well, you, too, and I wouldn't mind if I were a little jealous and worried about your Highness if I could have a rival. I was already frowned upon in the school, indifferent to the interaction between that girl and the men."

Because I didn't suspect it was the best defense to stay away then... It's just that now that I've heard so much about it, I kind of feel like I know what your fathers wanted me to do.

"Yes... because I felt terrible getting close then and trying not to get into my sight... But as the Duke's daughter, you shouldn't have."

"Yeah, you know what I should have done?

"... At the very least, I should have advised Mr Linaria and Mr Grecion individually. If the situation hadn't improved... we should have reported it to your father."

Maybe there are a lot of things I can do to put together other maids who are equally harmed, or at least take care of them, but I have a high hurdle.

"That's right. As a daughter of the Duke's, that's the lowest line there is. It's just that you're supposed to be the first to report it."

That's samurai pity... or you want to suppress it at a level where you don't have to report it if you can... Oh, but your fathers know exactly what's going on in the school, so it doesn't make sense to hide it? Besides.

"… at that point… as the future queen, I guess we need a higher level."

"Oh, yeah. If you know what I mean, that's fine."

When I said it without power, your father finally smiled.

Then, after closing his eyes again for a while, he exhales slowly. Weird silence made me nervous for some reason.

"Today, I called to give you a choice."

"Choice, is it?"

"How do you want to live from now on? I want to hear that."

Breathtaking by accident.

"More than I was originally born in the Duke's house, that's not how I can choose to live. Live in the taxes of the people, there is a future for the country and the people."
