Recently, Cordelia and the servants noticed that the mood in the mansion was much heavier at breakfast and, of course, that was because of Elviss mood.

(This probably started after I decided to go to Oba-samas fief)

She had heard from Isma that Elvis had been restless during the Zakharov incident, but he didnt show that side of him to her. She didnt know if she could describe his behaviour as anxious right now, but it was overwhelming since the mood was so heavy.

(I gave him sweets, like Isma-oniisama had advised me to, after the Zakharov incident, but I dont think his mood would improve even if I give him sweets now.)

Isma-oniisama also proposed that I let Otou-sama spoil me, but I cant think of how to let him spoil me right now. And, I also want Otou-sama to feel happy from spoiling me, so I cant come up with a way to do this.

(Hmm, its hard to ask him to go on a ride with me under this heavy aura. What else can I ask for?)

Cordelia was troubled, then she suddenly remembered when she had headed to the castle with Elvis.

(Oh yeah Otou-sama seemed to know a lot about the restaurants in town.)

She certainly remembered that he had said something like that when she went to the castle with him to get the permit.

(Alright, Ive decided.)

He said I couldnt go there on my own, but he never said that he wouldnt take me.

I want to eat tasty food, and the lively aura might divert his attention. Most importantly, this request is just selfish enough so he can spoil me. Cordelia concluded and made up her mind.

Otou-sama, I have a request.

What is it?

Wont you go on a date with me on your day off?

She said it jokingly, but that one word made Elvis choke.

Their date, or rather, their outing would be decided on another day, and Elvis returned to his room as soon as he finished his meal. Afterwards, Hans called out to Cordelia with a smile.

Ojou-sama, youre already at the age where you utter those words.

Of course, Im sure I conveyed that the word date was a joke to Otou-sama. After that, it seemed like he went back to his usual dignified behaviour, but I feel like he spoke less than usual.

However, 16-year-olds in this world were considered adults, so Im nearly there at 14.

He might have been surprised, since Ive never discussed love with him before, but I never expected him to have such an extreme reaction like that. He might have choked worse than he had when Obaa-sama talked about how he was like as a child, if I had worded things wrong.

(But I feel like Otou-sama has more emotion than he used to.)

Its hard to say that his facial expressions have become richer, but its easier to read his mood now. Thats why the servants interact with him more now.

While thinking that, Cordelia expressed her wish of wanting to go to a restaurant in town when Elvis called her to his study after dinner. Elvis thought for a while, but he agreed.

???????

A few days later.

Cordelia walked alongside Elvis for the first time in town.

Elvis looked rougher than usual, but the sharp glint in his eyes remained the same.

However, he didnt feel out of place.
