9 CHAPTER VII Entertaining Princesses 1 (1/2)

The next day, I stood in front of the front door of the mansion, anxiously waiting for the emperor.

Even though we were a highborn aristocrat and my father and the emperor were on good terms, I couldn't believe that the emperor would personally visit our vassal's residence.

Inside the mansion, our servants have been bustling around since morning. Even the calm Sebastian, who had never seen them in a hurry in his life, seemed to be on edge at the emperor's visit.

The head maid rushes to the front door, shaking her large body.

Your Majesty, the emperor has arrived!

Almost at the same time as the voice, a distinctly opulent carriage, surrounded by a number of escort carriages, entered the grounds .

...... It really came .......

What, in a previous life, it's like the Emperor came to our house, right?

No, no, no, hahaha ....... ...... Huh?　Are you sure?

As the carriage came to a stop in front of the front door, a group of strong guards descended, and one of them opened the luxurious carriage door.

Then the emperor got out of the carriage and smiled as if he had come for a walk around the area, spreading his arms out in a casual manner.

Then the emperor turned to his father.

'Three years ago we were both busy with replacements and we didn't see each other for a while, but how are you doing?'

Then Dad was reverent.

Yes, it is a pleasure to inform you that... It is my great pleasure to inform you that His Majesty is in good health and is doing well.

Hey, hey, I told you to stop using honorific language except in an official capacity.

”Oh, Orton, I was just kidding you on purpose. This is your first time here as emperor, right?

You're the first 'Emperor's Reception' you've ever had as head of the family.

Yeah, we've been having a field day this morning.

”I'm sorry to hear that. You can tell people I'm off duty. It may be a little late for that.

As the Emperor and Dad were laughing at each other, a lovely voice sounded from the side.

”Dad, don't take too long to talk on the way out.

As he pushed the emperor aside, a silver-haired girl about my age came out.

She's cute. She's a pretty girl.

The emperor pats the girl with her mouth agape and pats her on the head.

Oh, I'm sorry. --Dioruk, this is my daughter, Shelia.

Hey, you're as pretty as they say. It's a pleasure to meet you, Shelia.

When Dad greeted the girl, Shelia, Shelia picked up her skirt and bent her knees lightly, greeting her like a full-fledged lady.

'It's nice to meet you. I'm Shelia.

Ka, cute: ......!

No, no, no, it's not like I'm a pedophile, right?　In a little animal way!

As I'm making excuses in my chest, Dad points to the Emperor.

”This is my son, Leonce.

I, too, will bow to the Emperor and Shelia in good manners.

Then more voices came from inside the carriage.

Oh, you're so pretty. He's definitely going to be a good man one day. That's what I thought of Mr. Diorc and Kara's baby!

Out of the carriage with a high-pitched voice was the queen. Her eyes were sparkling and she was looking straight at me.

''Long time no see, Ashley!　I've missed you!
