The first daughter of Count Flache, who appeared after 11 years, eventually fainted in tears on the front steps of the count’s mansion.
“I’ve taken good care of her for a week, but she cried too much today.”
Should have intervened earlier and pulled her away. Hayden muttered, as he finally lifted the slumped Lue into his arms.
“She must’ve had a hard time at the embassy.”
“Daddy, are you okay?”
Siya, whose eyes were red from crying again, timidly followed her father and reached out to him.
Count Ethan Arther Gennes of Flache first accepted the hands extended by his second and third children.
“Plus, you had a ceremony today. You must be tired.”
“Is sister sick? Very sick?”
Tears were again dripping from Bella’s surprised eyes.
“Sister hasn’t drunk much water but has made many tears, so she’s tired. So, Bella should also stop crying and drink water?”
While Count Flache couldn’t respond, Hayden moved on, answering each of the children’s questions.
“Want to drink water!”
Bella’s eyes widened as she forcibly stopped her sobbing.
As soon as they heard the news that Lord Gronby had audaciously invaded the authority of Lady Flache and headed for Belfort, all the mischievous young ladies who had happily run out hand in hand immediately returned.
“Go to the eldest daughter’s room.”
The Emperor himself said so. Ethan Arther Gennes, who had finally regained his composure after hugging his children, barely responded.
“Your Majesty, I will guide you…”
“I know where it is. It’d be better if you freshen up first. Can’t you do at least this much as their father?”
“……Thank you.”
Ethan, whose legs had nearly given way at the sight of his daughter, was propped up by the Imperial knights. Meanwhile, Ansello, the loyal butler of the House of Flache, hastily ushered the Emperor inside.
“Call the doctor for now.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Though neither luxurious nor boasting a long history and tradition, the House of Flache had a serene and cozy atmosphere, good for children to play.
And as always, Rustica Gennes’ room was also prepared in the place where this family stayed.
“‘Father, this is our big sister’s room. Mother said not to go in.'”
Hayden already knew the location of the room since Siya had shown him around when he had once visited.
The Emperor, dressed in his uniform, ascended the stairs without hesitation, passed through the corridor, and entered the room meticulously arranged by Milene Gennes.
The room, always spotlessly clean and filled with sunlight, had tasteful and dignified furniture appropriately placed.
Upon entering the room, Hayden quickly laid Lue, whose face was pale and wet, on the bed as the maids removed her boots.
“Water first.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Take good care of the precious lady.”
“Yes, we will do our best.”
He looked at Lue’s pallid, moist face and extended his hand.
Ah. His hand was covered with taut leather gloves. Hayden hesitated for a moment, then took off the gloves and wiped her cheek.
Then he stood up. A doctor was on his way, and there was nothing more he could do.
Being under the direct orders of His Majesty the Emperor, the first daughter who had suddenly appeared was already special. He looked around the room once more.
‘Thoroughly the taste of the Countess of Flache.’
Would this side be more to Lue’s taste than the embassy in Caleta that he had personally decorated? After inspecting his soaked hands, Hayden left the room without any regrets.
[Star Icon]The two masters of the House of Flache could only take turns leaving their post.
Currently, there’s an emergency situation in the West where a monster wave has erupted, and His Majesty the Emperor is even visiting his daughter’s in-laws.
Although the situation in Belfort was subdued much faster than expected, the Count and Countess were doing their best to block the farther west.
Amid the chaos of hosting the Emperor and subduing monsters, Emperor Hayden brought an exceedingly welcome gift.
“Thank you sincerely, Your Majesty.”
Although in his fifties, Earl Ethan Aser Gennes stood upright with a slender, muscular figure, as befitting a knight, and gladly bowed to the young Emperor.
“I should be the one thankful for heeding my request to stay away for a week.”
If their daughter were coming, propriety dictated that they would rush to the transparent road in front of Chalea as the delegation from Caletta arrived.
Yet the Emperor had requested a week’s time from Earl and Countess Plache.
Warnings of a monster wave were already ominous in the west, and it was fitting that the Plache couple stay in place for now. The Emperor promised that, given a week, he would personally remove Rustica Gennes from Caletta’s oversight.
“Being able to see her face, a week is quite bearable.”
The Emperor had not forgotten to notify the Countess and the Earl that he brought Ru with him.
Milene, having met her daughter in the morning, was filled with joy as she sent her husband to the Earl’s house.
Ru has grown so much, darling. She’s a complete lady now. I can’t understand how she resembles you so much.
