EPISODE 14: THE 'ROLE' I'VE DESIREDAs if he's remembering it, Father closed his eyes for a bit and massaged his glabella. Once he opened his eyes again, a penetrating coldness appeared on his eyes. "...That stupid prince who wags his tail to anyone and that fox woman...Just how should I cook them. Is what I think" Father is gentle most of the time, and the only time I thought he was scary was six months ago when he scolded me but right now, the quality of his anger is different. If I'm going to compare it, the one before was like an exploding bomb, that sort of intensity but right now it's like a magma exploding from an erupting volcano and has that eeriness. "Well there's also a problem with you, I thought if you'd have a rival over the crown prince then maybe you'll start giving some attention to him. Even back at the garden, you didn't even bat an eye, even when that woman and those guys were already interacting, you remained uninterested." That's because at that time I thought that the best self-defense that I could have is to not go near any of them and that it was the best course of action to take. But after hearing it until this part, I think I already have the feeling of what Father and the others want from me. "Yes...at the time I find it terrifying to approach them. The best thing I could back then is to not put them in any of my field of vision....but, as the Duke's daughter, that wasn't something that I should have done." "That's right. Do you now know what you should have done?" "...At least thing I could do is to give a separate warning to Miss Linaria and Grayson-sama. But even still, it doesn't mean that the situation would change...I should have reported it to Father" Probably by having the other noble ladies who were also victimized to consolidate together or at least by giving out care to them, I could have done all sorts of things but it was such a high hurdle for me. "That's right. As a Duke's daughter that's the least thing you should have done. But originally reporting it to me should have been the first thing you should have done." That's something like a warrior's sympathy...I wanted to be able to control it without even the need to reach the point of reporting it. ...A, but Father and the others were quite informed of what is happening within the Academy. There's no meaning in hiding it and what's more... "...From that incident...as the future queen, a higher level of action must be what you are looking for" "Ah. That's right. If you understand it that much, then it's fine" While I said it in a relaxed manner, Father has finally smiled a little and then he closed his eyes once again slowly took a deep breath. With the sudden weird silence, for some reason even I got nervous. "Today, I've thought of giving you a choice" "A choice is it" "From here on, I want to hear how you want to live from now on" I unconsciously held my breath. "Normally, being born in a Duke's household, you can not choose how you are supposed to live. It's because you are living off the people's money (tax). Your future is always for the sake of the people and the country." Eunie here: another cliff-kun right here and nope this is the whole chapter. Well then the moment we are waiting for is finally here~ how will she live her life now? AND YASS!! SOMEONE SHOULD COOK THAT IDIOT CROWN PRINCE!
