「Hey, hey, leave it at that now.」

「I apologize for this.」

I try to mend the situation in a hurry, but I know it will all be over later. But since this is the usual scene, His Majesty is also looking amused while looking dumbfounded.

「It’s as if you two are having a lover’s quarrel.」

At His Majesty’s words, both Douglas-sama and I looked at each other and shook our heads at the same time.

「That’s impossible.」

「…Yeah, right.」

I am in agreement with Douglas-sama on this matter.

「It’s like dealing with an overly naughty little brother.」

It’s too much for my hands. I mean, I don’t even want to put it on my hand.

「I’m probably the older brother being pushed around by my strong-willed little sister.」

No thanks, I already have a brother who doesn’t fit in with my mouth and figure.

「And most of all, I don’t want Liam to hate me.」

I said this and remembered a very, very pretty smile in my head.

Liam is Douglas-sama’s child, a boy who is now 8 years old. He is a very smart, very honest and polite little gentleman who is so smart that it is hard to believe that he is related to Douglas-sama by blood. Douglas-sama is not honest or wise at all, so he must be like his wife. Although his wife passed away soon after the birth of Liam, I am sure that he would have been a great successor to her.

This Liam, in any case, loves his father, Douglas-sama. From my point of view, Douglas-sama is like a younger brother who is not very good, but from the point of view of the ladies of the world, he is a good man even if he has children, as you can see from the fact that he is a member of His Majesty’s entourage alone. It is him, Liam, who is kicking the vultures who are trying to take his wife’s place. Liam, who doesn’t want his beloved father to be taken away from him, has driven them away with a single word of「no,」so it’s a common belief among the ladies and widows that「make Liam like you before you Douglas-sama like you.」No one has succeeded yet.

In such a situation, Marie and I are one of the few people who are liked by Liam-sama, although we are unmarried women.

「Yes, it is. It’s hard not to smile at Liam-kun when he doesn’t like you anymore, isn’t it?」

Right?

It’s too bad to lose that angel’s or fairy’s smile for the sake of Douglas-sama.

「I know, I know. My son is a miracle of existence itself.」

Truly, it is miraculous that there is no Douglas-sama element.

「Well… now that I think of it, I miss him.」

「I haven’t seen him for a while.」

Myra-sama is one of the captives of Liam-kun smiley face.

I wonder if he will grow up after a while without seeing him, I think about it with Myra-sama.

「Then why don’t you invite them to your next orphanage visit?」

Then Ryniel-sama said to us.

「Liam-kun, if only you and the Commander would be willing, but there are kids his age, and it might be a good experience for him.」

It’s true that we cannot summon a child to the royal palace lightly, and if he accompanies us to the orphanage, it will be a great opportunity for both Myra-sama and us to meet Liam-kun.

「That’s lovely. Let’s do it. Hey, would it be nice, Your Majesty?」

「Ask Douglas, not me.」

「Douglas, please?」

Myra-sama, who puts her palms together and tilts her head to look up at Douglas-sama, is adorable, but Myra-sama is mocking him. Let’s keep such mockery only to His Majesty. I’m sure he will be glad to be fooled by it. The proof is that His Majesty’s eyes are a little scary when he looks at Douglas-sama.

「I can’t just nod my head when the queen asks for it.」

He’s not sure if he was defeated by Myra’s mockery or by the way His Majesty looked at me as if he wanted to say something, but I nodded to Douglas-sama. I hope it’s simply out of concern for him, Liam, but I think about 30% of the time it’s out of defeat for one or the other.

「Yay, thanks, Douglas.」

Myra-sama is so happy that she jumps up and down, and my face relaxes as well.

「Good for you, Myra-sama.」

「You guys must be happy, right?」

「Of course we are.」

I nodded broadly.

Of course I’m happy. I hope that this angel’s smile will heal my stormy heart.

「I’m looking forward to it!」

Marie was smiling happily, so the three of us were smiling together.

「Haah, you people haven’t changed.」

Without hiding a wry smile, His Majesty said.

「But Marsha, Douglas aside, you’re not going to keep this up, are you?」

What are you talking about?
