"Dad!"

As Leo shouted, a smile disappeared from Adele's face.

When she turned her stiff head, the emperor stood there.

“Your Majesty.”

When she saw Yuria and the maids bowing down, Adele quickly greeted her.

“I see Your Majesty the Emperor.”

“Raise your head.”

Adele waited for the emperor to sit at the tea table.

The maid approached and poured hot tea into the teacup.

With a round tea table, Adele, Leo, and the emperor sat around.

“Leopold. Did you sleep well?”

"Huh." Leo replied in informal language, and Adele was surprised.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't seem to be offended. "Leo. Please use honorifics.”

When Adele said a word, Leo blinked. He only added "yo" when he felt guilty to Adele.

“What about Dad?”

“I also slept well.”

“Why did you come late?” [He's using formal language]

“For Jim. I have a busy job that must be done.”

“What does Dad do? Is it easy to do? Is it difficult?”

Leo spoke in plain language as he did to Adele, but he put a clutter on the back. [He awkwardly added "yo" in each sentence as if he was forced to do that]

Adele had a headache.

"Well. It can be easy or difficult.”

“I want to see Dad at work.” Leo moved his body and raised his face eagerly.

'How. Was it that good to have a dad?'

Looking at Leo, Adele was confused.

'How can you call him dad so naturally even when you first saw him?'

Adele pressed the regret of her young son.

"Okay. I'll take you to the office next time.”

The emperor was too casual. Leo, who called the emperor without hesitation, was also natural.

It seemed that Adele herself was the only one who was uncomfortable and awkward at this place.

Adele didn't know what to do with her anxiety that did not subside. "Leo. You can go and play.”

"Huh." At the emperor's words, Leo ran to the maids with a burinake ball.

“Adele.” Adele stared at the emperor.

When she faced his expressionless face, Adele's face tensed.

“Yesterday was a misunderstanding.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I didn't tell them to send you to jail.”

In order not to dare to make eye contact with the emperor, Adele fixed her gaze on the teapot placed on the table.

“There was an error.”

"It's fine. I am not misunderstanding your Majesty.”

If he says misunderstanding, Adele has nothing else to say.
