"Welcome home Miss"
"I am back Sebastian, is my Father in the study?"
"Yes Miss, will you visit master at the study?"
"Well, I have important business to discuss with him, could you prepare green tea and some pastries please"
"Most certainly Miss, it'll be there in a second"
"Thank you, Sebastian"
...
*knock knock*
"May I come in?"
"Enter"
Sitting in his chair, Father was looking through some documents, and I must say a man focused on his job is the most handsome one. As a character of an otome game, of course, my fathers look is absolutely top-notch, with a built frame, silver hair like mine and blue dark eyes, the first time I saw him after remembering my past life I had to double check if I didn't secretly drool. Seriously dad is just that handsome.
"Hey Lil' bunny, what brings you today here?"
*cough*
Ops slightly lost my composure to Daddy's beauty. This beauty is a grave sin.
"Father I came to discuss the arrangements I just made with Prince Albert"
"Well"
"As we suspected, he wants to break the engagement. Before our talk, he planned to announce the break of the engagement in the royal banquet but I-"
"What?! This is outrageous! How could he even think of humiliating you like that? Who that little piece of shit think he is? Next time I see that stupid face of his I must punch at least once"
Oh Dear Father, he is the Crown Prince you know~? And as much as I want/hope that the scene of that ice mask being cracked by your fists could happen, he is our future king you know that also right~? We can't do that.
"Calm down Father, let me finish. That was his intentions but after negotiations, he said he will talk to His Majesty so that both of our families can reach an agreement"
"Fumu ~ is that so? So what you want to do my bunny?"
"Oh Father, we, of course, must ask for mental compensation and compensation for the time of my youth spent on him and all the royal training right?"
"Of course my daughter, they must pay for ALL the damage done to you and our household"
Father your malicious grin is showing, although you still handsome though. I think this grin is contagious hehe.
"Yes, it is so. I must show them how hurt I am with this incident"
*snicker*
Haa... we truly are a villainous pair of father and daughter. I am glad that no one can see us right now, or else our image will collapse.
"Excuse Master, Miss here is your tea and pastries"
... you don't count Sebastian.
Drinking his tea, father's smile slowly became smaller. Looking at me with worry in his eyes, father pointed something that I still had no solutions to.
"What about your future marriage"
You see this is a real problem since almost all the good ones are taken. And those who are not are either in the heroine-sama harem or are His Highness associate. Furthermore I will be an 'abandoned' woman, not that this will have a huge impact because of my family status, but still leaves a bad taste. But I have a super ally for this.
"Let's let Mother handle it, she will surely choose someone good"
"Yes it is as you said, let's discuss with her later"
"Well Father, I will stop bothering you, see you later at dinner"
...
Leaving Father study, I started to think about all the bachelors available and the plans for my conglomerate development.
*thump*
Which servant has a chest so hard? My forehead hurts. Looking up I see a young man with red hair and blue eyes.
"Cecile look where are you walking, how can the future Queen behave like this?"
"Sorry Brother, I was distracted for a moment"
Yes, the man in front of me is my elder brother Louis Dubois. 2 years older than me and the same age as the Crown Prince he is one of the few close friends of His Highness and he is also in the b*tch lead-sama harem. Because of those two, our relationship as brothers is very strained. Louis would pick up every little mistake that I did and I would thoroughly ignore his existence. This just got worse as we enter the Academy.
I will never get people who choose outsiders over their family, for me this is just a white eye wolf. So most of the times I don't even bother to acknowledge his presence. It's simply not worth my time. Is better to spend time planning my upcoming fortune.
"It is only this? Then, excuse me"
Bowing to him I tried to leave for my room but Niisama held my arm.
"Well?"
"It is true that you and His Highness will break the engagement?"
"Ho, he already tried to gain advantage from his rivals in love hum? Who could have known that our Ice Prince was so competitive. Well, it is true, Father and I will meet the royal family next week probably. It is a pity brother that I cannot help you in the chase for your loved one. Now it seems that Julia-sama will be the future Queen ne? So I kindly advise, as your cute imouto, that you keep a respectful distance from her, after all, would be bad if she was (still) rumored to have many lovers after being appointed as the future Crown Princess, don't you think so Niisama?"
Releasing my arm from my brother, I quickly made my way out of this corridor as I saw the face of my brother gone from a blank stare to a furious one. Dear Brother, your face changes are as entertaining as the Crown Prince! Really be an ikemen is something so unfair to the rest of the population.
"YOU-! Stop this instant for me!"
Stupid Niisama, who would? Go cry to your b*tch lead-sama, I now have more important things to take care of.
"See you at dinner my beloved Niisama"
Waving my hand to brother, I gracefully run towards my room
