Chapter 44 (1/2)

The Reincarnated Princess’s Dialogue (2)

“Was there ever a person who could perfectly deal with an unforeseen event? What you suggest is on par with beco a God”

He was telling me it was impossible

“But, Father, you seem to have that ability So does my brother,” I protested in a small voice

I was re

I knew about the plot beforehand since it was the background story for a character in the game, but my father and brother were different froe

Nevertheless, even though I was cheating, they discovered the plot down at the same speed I did The matter was safely handled, and war avoided in the end

From my point of view, it was even rather miraculous

I, too, wanted to sense the traps lying in wait for me and have the ability to avoid them

“That is why you’re foolish”

I was instantly cut down by his words

“Urgh”

I clutched at roaned a little

That cut That cut really deep

He sighed with great disgust, stretched out one leg on the couch, and turned his body in my direction

I unintentionally looked up, and when I did, ly, neither his expression nor his voice contained the sharpness of his words

Listen, he said in preface

“Change that outlook of yours”

I froze at the unexpected advice

I had been prepared to be scolded or criticized for being a failure What he threw attone of voice It was impossible not to be bewildered

“What do you mean?”

“Most things have son You may not see them, but the important part is whether you can sense them or not”

A warning sign, I repeated in a small voice Father nodded

After looking like he was thinking so

“You leave that book you’re holding so dear on the table for an hour Suppose, in that period of the tied, what do you believe to be the cause?”

I blinked repeatedly at the sudden parable

Though I was lost, I looked at the object he spoke of

There was an elass half-filled ine, and a candlestick on the table

I held ht

“If the candlestick falls, the book lass tips over, the wine may be the cause Either one ht

He laughed scornfully “What an uninspired answer”

Though I was closing my hands into fists in my mind, I responded with a calm voice “Is that so?”

Father dismissed my efforts, and continued with a simple, Fine

“Suppose the candlestick did fall over and the book was destroyed by fla you could have done?”

“No I could have extinguished the fire, or taken the very thing itself out of the room”

“Exactly It is the salass or put it away, you could have very simply avoided it”

As if he was giving a short delass with a hand and drained the remainder

I vaguely wondered why father would bring up this topic during the conversation, but came to understand why

The story was simple, but easy to understand Books are fla a fla your eyes off it was extreht, it was a predictable situation

My father and brother were able to avoid a war not because of a ift from the Gods

“If you’re in possession information, ht,” I muttered

I received no response, but I had a feeling the eyes watching htly narrowed in humor

Even if my ansasn’t perfect, it couldn’t be completely off the mark, could it?

I tried to look back on Lutz’s kidnapping in a positive light

Lutz was a wizard in possession of rare powers in a world losing its doh

And Sckellz, which tried to kidnap hi

Both of them certainly needed to be watched out for

Here, I cocked my head to the side

In that case, why Lutz was kidnapped in the game?

Both uished as they were in the game It was unlike that they could have missed the time or the details of how Lutz and Theo came to the palace

Even though I atching both the book and the candlestick, why did the book burn?

“Father…”

“What?”

“I tried to pay attention to both objects, yet the book still burned What did I do wrong there?”

“You ht”

You ass, I silently cursed

“I asked in earnestness”

“And I, too, answered earnestly,” replied my expressionless father, matter-of-factly

I exhaled, trying to let go ofirritation In place of the breath, I filled s with the cold air of the room

With a ht, What did he ht”?

I lacked the insight to fully grasp the situation instates

Of course, no living human could claim to be omniscient, my otherwise Godlike father included Of that I was sure

If that’s the case, in the place of his eyes, he gains his inforhout the world to gather information

To suht

“Does it mean I made a poor choice in people?”

Co, didn’t I thinking the sa?

That it was precisely because Sir Leonhard had coot a head start?
