Chapter 40 – Part 1
Each of the vassals sat down on the seat appropriate for their position. The dinner was also attended by Luca and her younger brother. They were probably brought by Viscount Rochelle.
The viscount, seated first on the right in the highest position, had a lot of power on his shoulders. As soon as Luca met my eyes, she was startled and avoided my gaze. When my father entered, all of the seated vassals rose from their seats at once.
I could find my seat without asking my father because there were two chairs at the head of the table. Of course, it was also because my dad sat me there.
“Thank you, Dad.”
He didn’t respond, but I sat down comfortably in the chair seeing the corners of his lips raised slightly.
I giggled and looked straight ahead, realizing that everyone’s eyes were on me and panicking.
“Hiccup.”
I covered my lips with both hands, but it was too late. The third vassal from the left chuckled and burst out laughing.
“You must have been surprised to see a lot of old men. That’s understandable.”
“What old men are you talking about? I am still young.”
The stiff atmosphere was naturally relieved by the laughter of the uncle across the table.
“Sit down.”
The vassals sat down at once at Dad’s words. The table was already full of food, but the chef and servants brought a portable tray to make sure they prepared enough. Dad didn’t sit down even after checking that everyone had sat down. I waited patiently for him to be seated.
“Before everything else.”
“… ”
“… ”
“… ”
The eyes of the ten vassals were fixed on him.
“I have something to tell you.” Dad put his hand on my shoulder. It was very warm. “I’m sure you know that this child is my only blood relation.”
Some just stared at him calmly, while others held their breath. The most surprised one was probably me.
To hear from my own father’s mouth that I am his only blood relation…’
There’s been so much improvement!
I praised myself inwardly.
“Mariette Dilton Descartes.”
“…”
“I want to inform you all that my daughter has been officially registered under the Descartes name as of today.”
“Congratulations, Princess.”
“Congratulations.”
The third uncle who smiled at me earlier and the other uncle across congratulated me. I lowered my head to hide my burning cheeks.
“Ah, thank you. C, cool uncle!”
Laughter erupted again. After that, my father didn’t stop talking. Dad took hold of the dining table and bent his back slightly. In my eyes, he looked like a predator who started hunting.
“After that, Princess Descartes will succeed me and become head of Descartes at the same time as she graduates from the academy.”
’But I have yet to enroll…’
Sure enough.
“The Princess’ age now is…?”
“Wasn’t she said to be six now?”
“She isn’t even a boy, how…”
The quiet dinner table began to roar with shock.
Dad continued nonchalantly, “Until then, I will fulfill my responsibilities and duties as the parent of this child, this Princess Descartes here.”
‘…Me?’
“She will fulfill her duties and responsibilities as Descartes’ one and only successor.”
‘This just means that I have to study hard…’
In other words, my shoulders had become heavy with responsibilities.
It was then that Viscount Rochelle stood up. His chair rattled and fell over loudly, perhaps because of the movement of his belly fat. “Your Excellency! How could you make such an important decision too easily? Isn’t she just six years old now? But what is this about giving her the position of the successor!”
It was only then the other vassals came back to their senses and started talking.
“Th, that’s right. Isn’t it too early to make a decision?”
“The duke is still young, so I think you can decide later.”
“I think so too. We won’t know what will happen in the future, so isn’t it too early…?”
“But now, the duchess’s seat is also vacant, and there’s no sign of it being filled…”
“There will be no one filling in that place, so please rest assured,” my father blocked the statement with an iron wall.
“Please reconsider, Your Excellency!” It was only Viscount Rochelle who seemed not to lose his old wish.
“Viscount Rochelle.”
He took a step forward when my dad called him, waiting for an opportunity.
