Since I’ve Reincarnated as the Villainess’ Father, I’ll Shower My Wife and Daughter in Love - Chapter 51

Princess’s scheme?

“Good evening, Duke Fohr.”

“Selena, I’m working.”

…

This place is the office. I sighed to Selena, who entered the room abruptly and interrupted my work.

“I heard that Celeu is with you today. Why did you come here?”

“I wonder what kind of reaction you’d make if I said that I want to leave my brother with his fiancée candidate alone together?”

Unintentionally, I broke the brush I was holding in half. While keeping calm as much as possible, I responded back.

“In that case, I’ll stop you with all my power.”

“Oh? You seem calmer than I thought. Are you really against Celeu’s and Laurier’s engagement?”

“Yeah. Well actually, if Celeu-sama becomes the Prince of Kuzut just like the game, I will definitely stop the engagement. However, right now he is still only a child. I will not stop it if he truly does like Laurier.”

(T/N: Kuzu 通り Means street or something similar I don’t get what it’s referencing I know its the otome game but I’m at a loss)

When I said that, she looked a little surprised and smiled.

“Maybe my brother will develop a different personality than the game.”

“Any basis?”

“You haven’t realized it? It’s you.”

“What? Me?”

“My brother has begun to respect you a lot ever since he has been saved by your words. That and with the sweets from the other day combined, you are thought to be ‘the person he longed for’.”

“That’s stupid.”

Selena sighed at the fact that it is normal to be thankful for small things like that and yet I cannot believe that Celeu would think highly of me for what I did.

“Well, aside from your lack of self-awareness, there will probably be no problem if you only have the two of them for now. He’s still a child after all.”

“Don’t forget that you also look like a child.”

“Well, putting that aside, can you tell me about the conversation you had with my father?”

“… How much do you know?”

“I only know that my father requested something from you based on how I was asked to leave my seat with Laurier.”

I sighed and talked briefly of what I knew about the allegations of betrayal of the prime minister and the investigation and the invitation of the next prime minister. What Selena said afterward, however, made everything I said become of little value.

“I see, this explains about the information I have frequently obtained from Laurier about you.”

“May I ask how you intend to use that information? You’re not interested in getting involved in this, are you?”

“Yes. Even with this, I am grateful to my father. I was thinking of helping you.”

It sounds like expression with some implications, but having someone with connections and voice power will be beneficial for me.

“So, is the Duke Fohr going to be a prime minister?”

“I wonder. It’s a heavy load for me.”

“What is your real intention?”

“Of course, it’s troublesome, so I’m going to push the role onto someone else.”

Selena said with a laugh.

“If so, then how about training one?”

“Training? Do you have anyone in mind?”

“Yes, he is not someone unrelated to you or Laurier. He is the son of the Duke Macbeth Grene and is one of the targets of the Otome game.”
