A man was standing here with his daughter, totally awkwardâ¦and he thought nowâs the right time to show off his sons? Caitel was now straight up staring at him in the face.
âSince they are pretty good at running around now, we play with a ball every weekend and learn horseback riding together! They even bring me water whenever Iâm resting because Iâm their father. You canât possibly know how cute they can be. Do you have any idea how much fun it is to play ball with your son? You donât, do you? Hmph, you are missing out on the finer things in life.â
âFine, we get it, Ferdel. Why donât you stop for now?â
I mean yes, I knew teasing and annoying Caitel were his only real hobbiesâ¦but I was starting to get worried now. I didnât know what he would make me do if he got him angry! If my dad suddenly wanted me to play ball with him, it would be all his fault!
âTheyâve even started learning swordsmanship recently. You know our family is practically famous for having trained elite knights for generations, right? Perhaps itâs in their blood. Theyâre already so amazing. Even my brother called them âvery talented.â I suppose this is the joy of raising sons. Donât you think?â
âUgh! Why! You littleâ¦! You little, mean bastard!!!â
He asked with a smile on his face, but I really wished I could slap his arrogant face just once. My father didnât seem to differ much from me in that regard. My father smiled fiercely with his sharp eyes. It was a look that showed how much he wanted to mock Ferdel.
âIs that so?â
⦠uh-oh⦠things always get scary when dad smiled like that. I tried to keep my mouth shut and stepped back to avoid this situation, but I didnât know how he realized it, but Caitel grabbed my arm.Read more chapter on novelhall.com
Ugh! Seriously, freedom was something that I wasnât allowed to have.
I thought that I wanted to disappear in that sharp tension, but dad smiled refreshingly, which was something so unlike him.
âMy daughter wants to marry me when she grows up.â
ââ¦â
Ferdelâs expression stiffened. Caitel stroked my head and breathed a âsigh,â which did not at all sound like one.
âIâm so worried about how to explain why a parent canât marry their child.â
âS⦠Silvia!!â
Ferdel suddenly ran out of the office, taking Silvia beside him.
I was embarrassed, but soon thereafter, I saw my father smiling victoriously; I clicked my tongue. Oh, this pathetic bastard.
Was he happy to win? This man-child was so proud of himself.
