“Lidi, His Highness is returning tomorrow. Prepare so that you can go to the castle first thing in the morning”
“Yes”
As the dinner came to an end, Father mentioned that as if he just remembered.
It’s been about a month since Freed left because of Tarim.
“Even if Lidi doesn’t go there, that Free will just rush off… Huh, this is amazing”
As we were eating desert after the meal, Brother joined in the talk.
By the way, the dessert is ‘strawberry daifuku’ that I introduced the other day when I went to Ms. Delris. I shared the recipe with Head Chef Thomas, and it was unveiled today.
Exactly as Brother said, the other day he really came back and decided to return to being Freed’s close aide right away. Seeming extremely pleased with strawberry daifuku, he tossed another one in his mouth.
Upon hearing Brother’s remark, with that’s unthinkable Father knit his brows.
However, only his expression is severe, the strictness was ruined by starch stuck around his mouth.
“What are you saying. Lidi is His Highness’s fiancée. It’s natural she should greet him”
“Well, he’ll be absolutely delighted if she goes, ain’t that fine”
Hearing Brother’s light tone, Father lamentably looked up at heavens.
“You really are… That’s right, you also have to come along tomorrow. As you returned you have to greet His Majesty and His Highness”
While saying this, Father picked up the new work ‘salted beans daifuku’. I tried to surprise them by debuting it along with strawberry daifuku, and it seems it’s become Father’s favorite.
Brother nodded strongly to Father’s words.
“I’ll go, I’ll go. I’d be stupid to miss the main event ‘emotional reunion scene’. Why do you think I came back. Anyway, I’ll take over with Glenn afterwards, even if I don’t wanna… By the way Lidi, this is seriously delicious”
“… Thanks”
Wasn’t I just treated nonchalantly.
I tried scowling at him, but he picked up yet another strawberry daifuku.
I’m getting heartburn just by watching. Has he eaten 5 by now…?
Despite his exasperated expression, Father stuffed his cheeks with salted beans daifuku.
They’re the same… They’re certainly a parent and child… Ugh.
“Just what are you looking forward to…”
“No, that Freed’s usual calmness will break. I feel like laughing just imagining it”
It was amusing to even hear him talk, with these words Brother reached for salted beans daifuku this time. But, Father stopped him.
“Ah, what was that for”
Raising his beautiful eyebrows, Brother reproached Father.
“That’s rude to His Highness. And, this is mine”
“… Old man, you’re stingy”
Even though it was no big deal, Brother objected.
Having snatched salted daifuku from Brother, Father laughed fufun with satisfaction.
But wait a minute. What they’re doing is nothing but a low level struggle over daifuku.
What are these two grown-up men with social status doing.
“Anyway, it’s tomorrow morning. His Highness will come tired, so heal him as his fiancée”
While chewing on the daifuku snatched from Brother, Father said so with a serious expression.
… I seriously feel like stopping listening.
“Heal, you mean with her body? Haha. If that happens, he won’t let her go home, right?”
Obtaining daifuku freshly brought by a cook, Brother made a beaming smile.
