Hmm? What's going on here?
Just as the son-in-law was unknowingly stirring up a fight with the hateful pricks and the second daughter struggled to contain her laughter and wetting her crotch. Papa, who had informed Mama that he was negotiating something important and had finally arrived at Peter's location.
Here, gathered a dazzling group of nobles dressed in splendid attire.
However, few could equal his refined dandyism, which he emanated while clothed in an austere attire with subtle elegance. He is James Terrace, the current Earl Terrace, and Charlotte's father.
At a glance, it was clear who belonged to the Swift camp and who were the visitors - a precarious situation that the Swift displays its dominance, and other aristocrats are invited to join in the fun. Today, however, that is to be reversed.
But what is this situation?
He thought it would be fine as long as Margaret was with him until he arrived, but he was nervous that Desmond, who was a social novice, would not receive the baptism of the aristocratic society well.
He wonders what this is all about.
Perhaps this was something to do with him.
But even so, it was not one of mockery. Rather, it was bewilderment and surprise, as if he was taking advantage of the situation.
Daddy found his formidable wife *cough*, the Demon King, *cough* the Witch *cough* ―― Margaret, his mysterious wife. She clung to Desmond in a black dress that emphasized her cleavage.
Well, it can't be helped. It was his wife, after all.
On the other side of his arm was Charlotte, the second daughter, who confronted Peter Swift, her ex-husband, and Peter glared at Desmond with his temple veins bludging.
...... what is this chaos.
James was not as clueless as Desmond, but he was still puzzled.
What could have happened for the audience to be this agitated? The first thing that comes to his mind is his son-in-law must have done something. he hopes it's a good one for Terrace.......
James had a compelling reason for being late and pleaded earnestly to Margaret to prevent this from happening. However, despite being at the center, his wife not only did not serve as a buffer but also seemed to be eagerly immersed in the situation.
――As expected of that girl's mother.
Having already stalled one troublesome situation, the situation feels as if the center of power has already erupted into chaos as if some underhanded tactics were causing this.
James' stomach churned.
But since Margaret is watching over them with such an expression on her face, nothing unfavorable should have happened to us at least.
――he wants to believe that.
With that faith, Daddy headed over there to be another guardian for the time being.

"Let's go to Swift's mansion!"
The one who was so fired up was none other than Teresa Terrace, the eldest daughter of the Terrace Earl family. She has brown skin, large emerald eyes, and platinum blonde hair were straight but very similar to her mother and sister.
She looked very much like her mother and sister. Of course, there was also a strong emphasis on her intense bust that seemed to almost burst out of her pure white dress.
Despite being 38 years old, her firm and glossy brown skin was so fresh and cute that she seemed like a teenage girl's skin, but her face was full of ambition, at most, she looked like she was in her mid-twenties. However, she appeared older than her mother and sister - perhaps because of the years she spent traversing battlefields with pride in her martial prowess, which automatically converted her youthful appearance from childhood to that of a young woman.
Nowadays, she is not only walking but literally flying around with her friend Schwarz, the Black Dragon, who has become her closest ally, making it impossible to keep up with her.
Upon learning of her younger sister Charlotte's pregnancy, her father became eager to take revenge on Peter Swift and, along with her sister and brother-in-law, crashed Peter's party. Upon hearing this, how could she not also feel motivated?
Even if her mother forgave him, there was no way her father would.
――he definitely wouldn't.
For Papa, this was finally a chance that had come unexpectedly. Indeed, with Teresa by his side, the things he feared would be significantly reduced. However, he had to ignore the fact that she herself was more than enough trouble already.
James is going to face the Swifts as a noble, not by force to subdue them. If that were possible, he would have done it already. How many times had he thought of doing so?
If Teresa were to make a suicide attack on the Swift. all of our struggles up until now would have been for nothing.
We can fight like noble people now, but if she rushes in without thinking, what was the point of all our hard work? Why did our family put up with the Swift for so long? How much did he have to spend on stomach medicine and healing magic to cope with the growing negative reputation and complaints against the <Platinum Knight> Order? Everything will be ruined.
Moreover, despite Teresa's youthful appearance in her mid-twenties, she is actually a thirty-eight-year-old (unmarried) lady. As the leader of a noble family, it would be inappropriate to bring her to social gatherings. Furthermore, her attire is similar to that of Margaret and Charlotte, except for the slight variation in the shade of white.
Normally, showing off one's breasts is rather encouraged as a symbol of fertility, but as a lady, the lower half of the body, from the belly down, should be concealed by a skirt that extends down to the feet to protect the child, as is moral for a lady.
Both Margaret and Charlotte, as noble daughters or princesses, hid their legs.
――However.
Teresa had, unbelievably, modified her dress.
It was a violation of a noble society.
Her pure white dress had been cut out at the front and back, revealing her beautiful, lascivious brown legs. It was more than just a slit. Her groin was fully visible. If one got closer, one could even see the slit itself, not to mention the puffy cameltoe.
It wasn't shorts, but a leotard similar to her knight's outfit, and from the back, her captivating buttocks were almost completely exposed.
One should consider the feelings of a father who had to stop his 38-year-old unmarried daughter from attending social events. And Teresa was even planning to bring some of the beautiful girls from the Platinum Knights ――in other words, runaway girls of respectable status who would have been invited to this event in formal and proper attire.
And, moreover, a dragon.......
Even if we beat Swift, it would still be our loss. we might make enemies of the noble families who had their daughters taken away, and even with the "power" from the dragon, Teresa, and Randolph from the son-in-law's side might not be enough. Moreover, they heard again from their son-in-law and daughter about the current situation of "Aldora".
.....The country is changing. Or perhaps also the church.
"Teresa, the venue has been changed,"
Papa was doing everything in his power to negotiate.
――with his eldest daughter(noble).
――because he found out that his wife had told his oldest daughter before telling him.
If the Platinum Knights had stayed put and the dragons had remained calm, it would have just been a conflict between nobles. But...
"Hah, that location, I can see the trap he's setting up from miles away."
Said Teresa, her buttocks and groin area in full view.
"I expected to see him show the determination to face us in his own mansion," she added.
She snorts, and Papa somehow managed to lead her to the party venue he had prepared separately.
"Yes, I will make another preparation"
"Fuhaha, I'm itching for a fight!"
Leaving her laughing hysterically, James headed for Peter's venue with his stomach in knots.
"Master, here is your medicine,"
James receives the medicine from the head maid who serves him inside the carriage.
"Thank you, you are a great help as always."
"There is no need."
She bowed her head. Although she looked her age, her face bore a striking resemblance to Katherine's.
I really wanted to see that!
That's probably James' honest thought when put in Desmond's style of words.
He joined the Peter Party and heard the story from his wife―― Well done, son-in-law! She was clinging to him with the beautiful pair of fruits sandwiched between his arms. Maybe our eldest daughter missed out on the best part. And if Margaret had still been clinging to Desmond like this, he won't be able to tell her.
"I wish I could have shown it to Teresa-chan too."
"Stop it, my stomach can't handle any more of this,"
"Oh, it's just a joke,"
Their connection was not as strong as the mental communication between their daughter and son-in-law. Margaret could not read James' mind, and their telepathy required mutual consent (mostly Margaret's). They could talk without using magic or being detected by 【Magic Sense】, but the link is mainly opened only when Margaret connects them.
However, James was recognized as a companion by Margaret herself, the one that has Ero Elf's blood, and under pressure, he worked hard and poured his energy (even with lotion) and somehow managed to impregnate her and make two daughters, and received 〈Ero Elf's blessing〉.
However, the strength of their bond is limited to "blood".
The strength of the contract becomes stronger in the order of "blood," "flesh," and "bone".
By the way, the strength of the contract between Desmond and Charlotte is "flesh."
James sighs inwardly, but he is impressed by his son-in-law's skill. The way Desmond's eyes swim around as if he is a little confused makes him seem like a chicken, but he never thought he was faking it all along.
Being a nobleman, maintaining appearances is quite obligatory, however, as a baron, it is not strictly necessary. Pretending to be weak is pushing the limit, but he seizes the opportunity to strike when his opponent was caught off guard.
――《The Damwead Heretics 》....A sleeping dragon, he must have been hiding his true power until now. Although he is his son-in-law, he is a frightening man.
But if he is on our side, we can count on him. James could not help but feel the corners of his mouth loosening as he looked into the eyes of the hateful bastard, who was desperately trying to push away his anger in the face of him.
It was similar to Charlotte, who was holding back her laughter, and Katherine who was holding her cheeks in the hallway.
However, when he sees Earl James Terrace, Peter seems to come back to his senses.
"It would have been better if you had come a little later."
"If I had shown up any later, wouldn't there have been a bloodbath?"
".................."
Is it appropriate to take the silence in "The Witch of Terrace" as affirmation? However, the Red-haired Daddy had to stifle what he wanted to say.
"Oh, "
"Isn't this Earl Terrace? Are you well?" asked Peter calmly.
"Yes, thanks to you. And how are you feeling, Marquis Swift?"
James's cheeks seemed to lift.
Be patience.
As a matter of fact, with Charlotte pregnant, he could no longer put on a big face, but how could he afford to remain arrogant now?
Peter finally looked around arrogantly, as if all his previous anger had been a lie, now that the actors were finally gathered.
"Charlotte, I heard a rumor that you're pregnant. May I confirm it?"
