After lunch, Cordelia asked Emina to accompany her to the castle, and Hans appeared in a rush.
Hans, whats wrong?
After asking that, Cordelia realised that Elvis was behind him, even though he would definitely not be home at that time, and quickly approached him.
Welcome home, Otou-sama.
Yeah.
However, even though he was home, she could guess that it was only temporary from the way Hans was rushing. But she couldnt come up with a reason for why he was home.
Otou-sama, did something happen?
There was no response from Elvis, but it was unlikely that he had forgotten something at home, and, if he had, then he could have just sent a messenger.
(Oh, thats right. I sent him the report)
He had already received the letter since he hadnt said anything upon seeing that Cordelia was ready to go out. However, a letter was a letter. She should report that she had won the reward again, but she wanted to ask something else first.
This hairstyle does it suit me?
She had faith in Eminas skills. But, she wanted to hear Elviss honest opinion as his daughter. However, her tension increased after she had asked that.
Elvis finally opened his mouth slowly at Cordelia, who was holding her breath as she waited for a reply.
Arent you cold?
Huh? No, Im not
It was true that her hair usually covered her neck and back, so there were a lot of areas for air to touch. However, she didnt feel cold because of the season.
Cordelia tilted her head, and Elvis turned to Emina.
Understood. Ill bring a shawl.
Emina left after she bowed respectfully.
(But Im really not cold)
For the time being, its not like I dont look good even if I look really cold.
Its a bit disappointing since I didnt receive a clear answer, but doesnt seem like hes dismissing my hairstyle.
However, I wanted to hear his opinion if possible
Its not bad.
――― Thank you very much!
Cordelia, who was observing him, was praised by Elvis, who looked sour like usual. He hadnt said anything else, but coming from him, it was enough.
Are you going to the castle now?
Yes. Vernoux-sama will be picking me up at the east gate.
Then Ill take you there.
Huh?! Th-thank you very much.
Cordelia was surprised when she realised what time Elvis had come home. She never imagined that he would briefly return home for her. Still, she felt at ease if she was with him.
I feel relieved that youll be with me Otou-sama.
If possible, she would like him to accompany her to meet the Prince, but her wish wont come true. The notice itself came to Cordelia In other words, it might be undesirable for her to be accompanied by an adult, since she was treated as an adult. And, Elvis only said that he would accompany her to where Vernoux was.
(If I ask for too much, then it would look like Otou-sama is using his daughter to intervene.)
This would only be a disadvantage to both Cordelia and Elvis, so she had to accept it.
