Chapter 303

I took Mariel-chan to a room where Otousama and Okaasama were having tea so she could greet them.

「Miss Mariel, thank you for coming. Please, feel at home」「Ah, umm, thank you very much for your precious time the other day! Father was very joyful」「No need to mind it. Those weren’t bad conditions for us after all」

Mariel-chan said hello nervously. Otousama is handsome, but the expressionless face he keeps to maintain dignity may look scary. Even though it’s fine to give Mariel-chan a small warm smile since she’s scared.

「I was able to get into a charity work, so I appreciate it. Please, convey my thanks to your otousama from me」

Okaasama smiled. Okaasama is usually close to expressionless, but her sociability is good at times like this. It’s one of the social life skills. I have to learn from her example.

「Y, yes! I will make sure to convey your message!」

Mariel-chan replied with a blush.Okaasama is a gorgeous beauty when she smiles after all. Her entire face turned red from being smiled at by such Okaasama. I have no doubts that Mariel-chan is screaming internally「Uooh, I was smiled at by a beauty! A sight for sore eyes!」.

「Otousama, Okaasama. It’s about today’s dinner, but I am thinking of having it with just the two of us」「Oh my, you won’t be dining with us?」

「It’s Mariel-san’s first time staying over, so she’s nervous. I would like her to eat at ease」「I see. That’s true」「Yes, it’s regrettable, but it can’t be helped」

We enjoyed a conversation with the two after getting their approval and excused ourselves.

「Haa… that was tense. But, the beautiful couple was a sight for sore eyes!」

Hou, Mariel-chan said in satisfaction while letting out a sigh. As I thought.

「I have been devastatingly poor since my past life… I haven’t cooked at all since then. Rather, you know? It’s unusual for a Duke’s daughter like yourself to cook, Cristea-san!」

Indeed. I had it tough at the beginning.
