Side story 5 - Noble wives’ tea party, again (2/2)

When I returned from the noble wives’ tea party, my daughter had already returned, and was in her work clothes with her face covered in mud, and was chanting something mysterious while working in her field.

At seeing how she appeared…… Indeed, it seems that what I heard at the tea party must have been a mistake.

“She actually might have some splendid and wonderful parts to her if I come out and talk to her a little,” such thoughts immediately disappeared from my mind.

“Alright~, one, two!”

As if to add to my stress, my daughter’s mysterious chanting was ringing throughout the venerable Claes family garden.

At hearing her chanting, I felt like everything was in vain and was so tired, that I returned to the mansion as fast as I could.

I don’t need you to become someone as wonderful and splendid as the saint I heard about today, but…… At least, I wish you would become a little more respectable. I returned to my room and let out a deep, deep sigh.

After that, when my daughter returned to the house, I made sure to warn her to stop that weird chanting of hers…… The next day, the chanting sound of “let’s go~!” resounded throughout the venerable Claes family garden.

“Today, that daughter of mine -”

It’s become a habit of mine to complain about our daughter to my husband in the bedroom.

“Well, as long as she’s healthy and energetic, isn’t it fine?”

Just like usual, he replied to me while smiling. My husband Luigi Claes is quite a looker, has a good personality, and is really capable, he’s really such an amazing person, with only one flaw. It’s that he spoils our daughter too much. Anyways, he loves her so much, that no matter what problem Katarina causes, he’ll just forgive her with a wry smile. However, he better take a good look at the way our daughter is now, and get a good grasp on the situation, or I’ll be troubled.

“Being so healthy and energetic, well isn’t she just your dear little girlie…… To begin with, that girl’s already set in her ways, it’s already gone beyond what I can handle…… You should really take a good look around you…… Really, with the way she is, I wonder who it could possibly be that she even takes after.”

As I said so, I let out a big sigh, and my husband looked at me like he was about to say something.

“What is it?”

“……No, it’s nothing.”

After that, I just kept complaining about my daughter to my husband for a while. Really, I wonder who she’s supposed to be like…… As I was thinking such things, next to me who was falling asleep, my husband was saying something under his breath that luckily didn’t reach my ears.

“I think it’s that Katarina doesn’t only take after you in looks, there’s also many other parts where you’re alike……”
