Chapter 45

“Father!”
Laurier charged at me as soon as I opened the door. I reflexively smiled and bent down to scoop her up.
“Laurier. Did you like your classes today?”
“Yes! How are you?”
My daughter who worries about me is adorable. I suppressed the urge to cry out and inwardly think to myself of how much of a good girl she is to do so at this age.
“I’m doing okay. All my exhaustion blows away when I see you and your mother, though.”
“Yay!”
Laurier smiles happily at my words… Dear god, the smile of my wife and daughter is the best way to be rejuvenated after a long day at work. I live for this priceless smile. I thought about how blessed I was and enjoyed holding Laurier for a while.
“Do you want to go to a tea party with your father and mother?”
As I talked to Laurier about the Tea Party. She said with a smile that she was happy when I told her that it was a tea party that Sasha and I were going to together.
“I’m glad that father and mother are together!”
“More than just Sasha and Callis, His Majesty, the queen, and Selena are all going to be together.”
I’m not saying that I’m stunned that my butler Zeke was listening in, but…. Regardless, I’ll tell Laurier that I want her to have fun herself.
Even though this Otome game is probably going to drag in Laurier in the future, she doesn’t need to worry about it now. Of course, she will eventually have to make her own decisions, and that may include marriage.
At that, I can’t deny the situation of a political marriage. For a nobleman, it is important to increase networking by connecting houses together, but…
Of course, there is a little resistance to marrying my daughter as a father, but I can’t show that side of myself to her for the rest of my life. I don’t want to destroy the father figure I have had towards Laurier until now.
“So, what do you think? Do you want to go with me?”
“Yes! Also, dad, can I have a favor.”
“What is it?”
As she turned to me and asked, she had an angelic smile on her face.
“I would like to have father’s snacks!”
“Haha, I can’t refuse your requests.”
I pat her head *pat-pat* and I agree with a smile. Of course, my inner thoughts are too rough for Laurier’s. Leaving the decisions to them was the best idea I had.
