After Eseria showed off her new toys and books at her elder sister and elder brother’s birthdays, she continues to earn by being an adviser to the Wallace Company and spends her everyday life leisurely. It is mainly because of the fact that her mental age is higher than her appearance. She receives lots of praise from her tutor for her liberal arts subject and even her parents tolerate her out of common-sense behaviors.
Eseria loves such tolerant parents but one day, her whole family suddenly became serious when they were having dinner. She can only tilt her head to what’s happening.
「Eseria, we are going to the royal palace next week to say hello to my aneesama. Do you have anything scheduled next week? Cornelia, she wants to see you too so you are coming with me, right?」
「Yes, mother.」
Cornelia nodded obediently but Eseria casually asked back.
「Mother, who’s your aneesama?」
As soon as she said that, the dining room became quiet immediately but after a moment, screams from Miredia and Cornelia rose.
「What! How can you forget who my aneesama is!? Are you serious?」
「She’s from the Duke family of Careid like mother, it’s her majesty the queen!」
「Ah, sorry! I see!」
After being pointed out, she pulled out the memory of that inside her head and replied. Looking at them, Digress and Najek can only sigh.
「It’s not like it’s her fault. Eseria has never seen her majesty the queen after all.」
「Right. Being blood-related doesn’t mean you already know that person when you are born. Until I met her, I’m like Eseria too.」
「Yes, I have never brought her to the royal palace before since she’s too small and might do something rude. Now, she’s already seven years old so I thought it’s time to bring her there…..」
Looking at Miredia, who had put her hand on her cheek because of being anxious, Eseria gave her assurance with confidence.
「It will be okay, mother!」
「Really? Then, let’s go as planned.」
「By the way, mother, do you have anything to do with her majesty the queen?」
Cornelia, who thought that there’s something going on, asked her mother why she would go to the royal palace in the first place. Miredia replied with a troubled expression.
「Not really….it seems like a lot of things have made my aneesama depressed recently. “I want distraction” is what she said before saying she wants me to visit her along with my children.」
「Distraction?」
Cornelia saw her little sister somewhat confused so she spoke in her mother’s stead.
「Eseria, I’ll tell you the details after eating.」
「Yes, aneesama. I’ll listen to you later.」
Given the expression of her elder sister, Eseria immediately knew that it must be something that can’t be talked about over dinner so she obediently quieted down.
