CH 92

At the thought that they could eat the food from their past life they had actually given up on after reincarnating, everyone was drawn to this far more attractive topic than the main subject.



The whole family’s instinct was to try to escape the real problem that would definitely be troublesome.



“…Ah, um, that Imperial Japanese? Why did it cause so much uproar after Nee-sama spoke the language?”



William, who was excited at the mention of simmered mackerel miso, led the conversation back on track a little regretfully.



The Kingdom had just started its diplomatic relations with Imperial Japan, and no one in the family knew of its existence at the moment.



“Based on what the Imperial Prince of Imperial Japan said, it seems that Kingdom people are not able(?) to speak Imperial Japanese.”



The Kingdom people’s inability to speak Imperial Japanese was very extreme to the point that the Imperial Prince couldn’t hide his joy even in the public eye when he found someone who could.



“Yeah, yeah, when I went to pick Emma up, the diplomats gathered and asked to have a talk with Emma about it. We almost couldn’t go home, you know? I was saved by Mother-in-Law who came in between.”



Leonard smilingly told the family about the disturbance from the diplomats.



“F-Father!? Did you pick a fight with the diplomats while I was sleeping so comfortably?”



Emma was shocked as she came to know what happened for the first time.



Even though Emma was always told not to make trouble, wasn’t this just adding fuel to the fire and was on the verge of exploding? ‘If it comes to this, I will definitely get scolded,’ Emma shrunk her neck. Sure enough, when she looked at Melsa, two blue veins that would only appear when Melsa was most angry were there on her forehead.



“M-Mother! I-I’m so sorr……y…”



“………diplomat? Oliver deFros?”



Melsa’s murmur interrupted Emma’s voice, who thought it was better to apologize as early as she could.



“Yeah, Mother-in-Law called him that. Do you know him?”



Leonard remembered Hilda calling the name of the most troublesome man of the bunch. He looked to be around the same age as Leonard and was one fussy man.



“That b̳a̳s̳t̳a̳r̳d̳! He became a diplomat, huh!”



*smack* Melsa hit the desk and spat out a curse, which was very unlike her.



“M-Mother?”



“Melsa?”



“When I was in the academy, that guy kept saying stuff like ‘Women don’t need to study,’ ‘Why don’t you bow down when you’re just a woman,’ and that I got good grades because I flattered the teacher… Argh, just remembering it makes me angry!!”



“Ah! There was that guy, I remember!! That pitiful guy who couldn’t understand Melsa’s charm at all!”



Well, it seemed that he was an acquaintance from the two’s academy days. Though Leonard forgot who he was even after he met him face to face.



“To think he pushed through his own business even though my cute Emma was sick and unconscious, he is still as rude as ever!!”



Melsa couldn’t contain her anger as once she remembered one thing, the memories continued to pop into her mind one after another.



“Eh, M-Mother, I’m, um, fine, though?”



Emma’s words didn’t reach Melsa at all.



“Regarding this incident, as Count Stuart House… no, I will have Mother help, so from the Duke Sullivan House too, I will personally make a formal protest!!”



“M-Mother? …I’m… fine, you see?”



Uh oh.



Melsa, who always told Emma to not cause any trouble, be quiet, and not stand out, was about to throw dynamite to the already fueled fire.



“…………”



“…………”



“…………”



“…………”



In this indescribable atmosphere, hurried footsteps approached Emma’s room, which was supposed to have been cleared out of people, and a knock was heard on the door.



“I thought I already told everyone to not come near this room?”



Leonard opened the door to see the servant.



“Pardon me! There’s a visit from H-H-H-Hi-His Majesty the King!”



The servant was gasping for air with a pale face as he made a shocking report.



“Now… is it?”



A Count house was not in a position to be visited by the King.



Leonard asked, thinking he must have misheard.



“His Majesty the King is i-in front of the mansion gate and asks to be allowed inside!”



The servant once again reported to Leonard in an easy-to-understand way.



・・・



How did it become like this!?



This was as shocking as a volcano that suddenly erupted behind my back just before the dynamite was thrown.



Emma’s uproar at the banquet, just how big it will become…



And so, The Tanaka family meeting was concluded by the King’s visit, without them actually doing any substantial talk.
