Reincarnated as the Legitimate Son of a Duke Family's ~ Just Trying To Live Live My Life Normally, But Somehow I've Got a Harem?~ - Chapter 27 : Big Misunderstanding!

Haah, I had a rough time because of my father.

It’s supposed to be a day off, but I’m already tired to the point where I can’t even my limbs.

Or rather, I’ve only just woken up, haven’t I?

There’s no helping it, so I decided to have lunch together first thing.

“Haha, it’s been a while since we all ate together.”

“Yes, and I apologize for the delay. Sebastian, you’ve worked hard.”

“Not at all Master… I haven’t done anything significant. Sir Alex has been working hard.”

“I see… is that so?”

“Oh yeah, Father. Have I been doing well lately?”

Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve met my father in this life since regaining my memories. It’s natural, but I usually call him ‘Father’ and speak politely. I have that much decorum, after all.

But still, a father, huh? I don’t have any memories of a father figure from my past life, and in this life, I haven’t been very filial.

“Hmm, I heard from Sebastian earlier… What kind of change in attitude is this?”

“It’s not a big deal. I’ve just become an adult, that’s all. I thought I should improve a bit. Also… even with this, I’m still the son of the hero Sigurd.”

“Oh?… Are you prepared then?”

“Huh? Prepared?”

“No, forget it… By the way, I heard that your engagement was canceled. I received a letter apologizing for it.”

“Oh… actually, I don’t really understand it either. I just received a letter from his majesty as well.”

Suddenly, I received a letter, and it said that the engagement between Serena and I was cut off. Come to think of it, I haven’t even gone to introduce myself once. Maybe I should ask Serena about it next week.

“It might be impossible if you look at your usual life. Honestly, to think you would reject such a well-bred young lady… no, is that really the case?”

“Huh? What now?”

“What are you going to do about Princess Serena? And Lady Merle?”

“I’m not going to do anything. They’ll both continue to live their lives as before.”

“I see… Hmm, I’ll go after eating.”

Hey, what kind of monster is this? I really want to take a nap as soon as possible. Both Maria and I take after our mother, and we really don’t look like father and son.

“Eh? You’re not taking a break?”

“Oh, Maria. More importantly, I should meet His Majesty the King first.”

“…You haven’t gone yet?”

“Well, um, compared to that little brat…”

“If you’re done eating, please go!”

“Y-Yes! I’ll go now!”

With a pat on the back from Maria, he hurriedly left the room. He really has no dignity as a father… Hmm? He looks just like me.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

I never thought I would misjudge my own son like this.

As I ran towards the royal castle, I pondered about such things.

“I thought he just wanted to be lazy. But somehow, he’s become a completely different person.”

While it’s said that you should see someone for three days to truly understand them, the change in his sword skills is abnormal. After all, it’s not a skill that can be achieved in a short period of time. It’s impossible without years of special training.

“And if he was hiding it all along… I’ve really failed as a father. Well, I don’t spend much time at home to begin with…”

Perhaps Alex had been thinking everything seriously and hiding it in his own way. The name of the hero Sigurd is too impactful in this kingdom. That’s why there were high expectations for Alex, his son, from the moment he was born.

“I may have burdened him with my expectations… I may have done something wrong. Maybe Alex has been trying to live while being considerate in his own way.”

If Alex had been outstanding, he might have become the crown prince. No, to be honest… that’s what was initially expected. That’s why Princess Serena, the first princess, became his fiancée.

“In that case, the country might have been divided. Did he fear that?”

In terms of appearance and personality, he resembled his mother and was a kind child to begin with. In fact, Maria’s personality is more similar to mine.

“As for me, I was opposed to that blockhead taking the throne. However, if Alex is willing, it’s a different story.”

Of course, I have no intention of forcing Alex. But… I’ll prepare for any possibility.
