Since I've Reincarnated as the Villainess' Father, I'll Shower My Wife and Daughter in Love Chapter 14 - The Princess Too…?

Chapter 14: The Princess Too...?

After my chat with the young boy in the royal palace’s smaller garden, I made my way to the courtyard where Laurier was having her tea party. It was a fine day and the sun was shining, and in the courtyard, Princess Serena was having tea with several noble girls that she had invited.

Amongst them, one stood out was a girl with strikingly silver hair... I spotted my beloved daughter Laurier imdiately, who was already a beauty despite her young age. Laurier seed to be chatting happily with the other children, but... the mont she noticed , she suddenly stood up and ran towards .

“Fatheeeer!”

“Oh, easy now...”

As I gently held Laurier, who ran full force into my arms, I spoke softly into her ear as I stroked her head.

“Is the tea party over?”

“Yes! Father’s work too?”

“I finished early as well, I suppose? More importantly... did you have fun?”

“Yes!”

Laurier answered my question with a cheerful smile... Yeah, thank goodness. It seed like she really enjoyed herself. As we had our mont as father and daughter, I heard footsteps approaching. When I looked to see who it was, I bowed deeply.

“Serena-sama. Thank you very much for extending an invitation to my daughter today.”

Standing there was Serena, the girl who had invited Laurier to the palace and the Second Princess of the royal family. Serena seed to find sothing amusing about my hugging Laurier.

“It’s good to see you again, Duke Fall... For my part, I too enjoyed my ti with Miss Laurier today.”

As she said that, I felt a sense of relief, but also an unmistakable feeling of discomfort. Her speech and manners were just too elegant, was Serena really only a five-year-old girl?

“Is that so... I’m happy to hear that.”

“Oh, and by the way... the sweets that Duke Fall made were truly delicious. Were they really made by you, Duke Fall?”

“They were, but... were they really to your liking?”

When she heard that, Serena nodded convincingly, flashing a smile.

“I’m not flattering you, they really were very tasty... if it’s not too much of a bother, could we et again soti?”

“Of course, whenever you wish.”

“Then, next week I shall impose upon your hospitality, Duke Fall. I hope I can eat sothing so delicious again.”

...Was there a diplomatic way I could back out of what I had just said? But, realizing she had trapped with my words and her status, I agreed with a grimace.

“Then, we shall be waiting warmly for you.”

“Yes, well then... Miss Laurier, I shall see you again next week?”

“Yes! For today, thank you. Serena-sama.”

As I smiled happily seeing my daughter talk to a Princess with perfect manners, Serena-sama took a step closer and whispered sothing in my ear so that only I could hear.

“Next week, I’d like to discuss things with you in detail, so please make so ti for ... Duke Fall. Or rather... the Mister Traveler-From-Another-World who holds his mories.”

After saying that, Serena-sama turned and left... Just what was that? Had she seen through ?

“Father, are you feeling sick?”

As I looked after the Princess, my face running slightly pale, Laurier looked at anxiously. No good, no good... If I make my daughter worry about , I’m a failure as a father. Stiff upper lip!

“I’m fine. By the way, Laurier, did you get along with Serena-sama?”

“Yes! We talked lots!”

“Is that so... then, I’m glad.”

I was still perturbed about the words I’d heard just a few monts ago... but, for now, Laurier’s happiness was more important, so I pushed that doubt to the corner of my mind.

“She seems eager to join us at our ho next week... just what exactly did the two of you talk about?”

“Huh? Um... About how friendly father is to mother? And about the sweets.”

...I see. Whilst I’m curious about just how Laurier sees the relationship between Sasha and myself, I’m actually a little afraid to ask... but, well, at any rate, Laurier and Serena seem to be getting along well.

“I see... well, in that case, I’ll make sure that the sweets for next ti are even better.

“Really!? Yay!”

Laurier bead happily at ... Yeah, I’m still worried about what Serena said, but this girl’s smile is the best dicine to put at ease.

As I thought that, Laurier and I made our way ho.
