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 67 : Afterwards...
After finishing the extracurricular field trip, two days later, my body finally returned to its original state.
Pain started coursing through my body when we were traveling in the carriage on the way back, and it continued even after returning home.
Maria cried, and Father said he was still too soft in my training.
Fortunately, there was a three-day break from school, so I managed to recover in time.
“Phew… Well, I’m mostly back to normal.”
“Hehe~, good morning. It was worth helping you, wasn’t it?”
“…Helping? Oh, that? You mean trying to take advantage of me when I couldn’t move?”
Taking advantage of my immobility, she went through a lot to take care of me. Somehow, I managed to protect my chastity again!
“Lies… your muscles won’t loosen up unless they move a bit. If I attack you like that, you have no choice but to move, right?”
“Still the same huh. Well, whatever. So, did we receive any news?”
“Yes, we received an invitation from the royal castle. Probably an explanation about the recent incident. Since you defeated a large portion of demonic beings and Master’s~ involvement was on a large scale, also being the second prince makes it easier for you to meet the king.”
“Ugh… troublesome. Can’t someone like Nois-sensei or Serena go attend it instead of me? Those two could handle the meeting more easily…”
“That’s what I thought. There are people who are particular about such things. If master is present, you can accompany him as an ‘other’ attendee.”
As I mentioned before, the position of a princess isn’t that strong. Nois-sensei is retired, and is working as just a teacher now. If this were a private matter, it wouldn’t matter much.
“Well, let’s go, even if it’s a hassle.”
“First, let’s have breakfast.”
After getting ready, we went to the dining hall. Maria hurriedly ran towards us.
“Onii-sama!”
“Ugh… tackling in the morning is harsh, little sister.”
“Ah, sorry… hehe, you are back, Onii-sama.”
“Haha, you can do as you please.”
Since I returned home, Maria has been like this. For a child who feared losing her family, living until she received news of my wellbeing must have been unbearable.
Therefore, I accepted the tackle from my cute little sister — it’s a brother’s duty to fulfill her sister’s desires.
“Hehe~, I’m glad.”
“Grr… Guess, I will put you in the bed again?”
“Stop! I’ll die! Please, sister, let go! I don’t want to die yet!”
“Well, there’s no helping it.”
And so, we all had breakfast together. Sebastian and Dad were there, and it felt like the family was finally together after a long time. I was bedridden for almost two days.
“Alex, you did well again. You fulfilled your duties as a member of the royal family.”
“Why are you suddenly saying that? It’s making me uncomfortable…”
“What did you say!?”
“Waah! I’m sorry!”
“Master, please calm down. Alex-sama, I understand your feelings, but please endure for now.”
“Sebastian, is one word too many?”
“I think it would be beneficial to reflect on your usual behavior. Now, since breakfast is over, shall I prepare some tea? After that, you can talk in peace.”
“Grr… understood.”
Then, Kaera and Sebastian brought tea. After drinking it, we felt really refreshed.
“So, what’s going on?”
“Nothing much, just as it sounds. I heard from Nois about how bravely you fought.”
“It’s not a big deal. I just didn’t want to let important people die.”
“Hmph, speaking arrogantly again… Alex, I didn’t know you had such determination. Well, I’m getting old too.”
He said that, looking up at something and sighing deeply. What’s wrong? Something feels off…
“You are still lively.”
“Of course, I’m still in the game. Now, I understand your resolve. I’m looking forward to the audience after this.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
At that moment, Sebastian entered through the door. Somehow, he seemed to have been waiting outside cautiously.
“Alex-sama, a messenger has arrived from the royal castle. It seems it’s time for you to go.”
“Sigh… I see. Well then, I’ll go for now.”
“Onii-sama, do your best!”
“Yes, I will make sure everything goes well properly.”
With those words from my three family members, I boarded the carriage with my guard, Kaera, and headed to the royal castle.
