Chapter 305: Father-in-law

And as if noticing that, Eira next to me spoke to me.

“Why are you so nervous? Calm down.” (Eira)

“Look who’s talking? You’re nervous too, otherwise why are you holding my hand so tightly?”

“I’m not. Besides, you’re being cowardly by letting your doppelgänger have this identity.” (Eira)

“hey from the beginning I was planning to do this. As Seraphina, I may have to meet my father. You know, he’s powerful, that’s why whenever I have to meet him, I always use my real body.”

“hmph!, they sound like excuses.” (Eira)

“hey I had already said ahead of time, you’re the one who said that at the last minute, you’re the wrong one, still it’s a relief to have done it”

“It’s not like he’s going to eat you or anything. do you have a problem with meeting him?” (Eira)

“Of course I fucking do! I’m making him NTR! I’m not just dating you guys…. I’m dating his wife!”

“If you were so afraid, you shouldn’t have messed with a married woman.” (Eira)

“Afraid”? Who’s afraid? I just… I don’t know how to act. I mean, I’d like to get along with him — he’s your father, and both you and your sister clearly adore him. Which in itself seems difficult enough, from what you all have told me, plus I’m dating his wife. Do you think there won’t be any problems?”

“Damn, I know that too. But as long as it doesn’t come out, it shouldn’t matter. Just greet him as your father-in-law and that’s it.” (Eira)

“Hey, you know, you say so matter-of-factly that he’s my father-in-law? I thought you would be embarrassed, well I guess nerves are more dominant you even hit me without any reason.

“Fuck! Well, yes, I’m nervous but that blow you earned it, damn it! all because of that old hag who dared to commit infidelity!…. This is awkward for me too, and that old hag told me at the last minute too, she’ll really pay me back when I see her again.” (Eira)

yes, this is the circumstance I’m in, Eira told me last minute that her father wanted to meet me.

Lily also told her at the last minute. Apparently, she also had complaints at this news, but as she was late to fix us up, she had to leave without any more details from Lily. other than the fact that we are looking for him to introduce me.

Originally had, planned to leave the twins with my main self, like the rest of the girls, but now things changed.

Luckily, while we were getting ready, due to the occasion Eira more or less told me her story from her point of view and her relationship with her father, the marquis.

As well as what she assumes, is Lily’s current realion with the marquis, so that I wouldn’t worry so much.

listening to her, it was more or less what I had deduced from the snippets and things I had heard from the three of them, and now I understood a bit more.

But just in case with my free doopelganger I tried to rush over to Lily’s to ask her to give me more details, but she had disappeared leaving a note.

{Sorry, sweetheart, but I know you’re a capable man. You’ll make it somehow}

That left me, for some reason, with a bad premonition. I mean, I just wanted to know exactly her current relationship with the marquis, just in case, and ease my worries a bit.

I don’t know why she would run away, but now I was feeling worse and with a more ominous feeling of what this banquet would turn into.

And with what I heard from Eira, the guy really wants them as daughters, the marquis really appreciates them.

So with that it would already be a problem. Obviously he must be pissed off, that not only did he date one, but I date both of his daughters, and from the descriptions I feel that in some ways he takes after my father, so even without the infidelity issue, it’s possible that this doopelganger would die today.

“Hey, I know I shouldn’t butt in, but I have to say you deserve it, for getting involved with mothers and daughters and married women.”(Silvia)

“Hey Silvia, I told you I didn’t do it on purpose, you know I didn’t know her, who would have thought Lily was the mother of the twins, I showed you a picture of her right, there was no hint of kinship”

“well that’s true, still I feel it’s your karma, to be doing things out of control, thinking you can get away with it without consequences”(Silvia)

“Hey!! Who’s out of control?!, it was pure and honest love at first sight…,haaa~ but there really are consequences, I never thought that from that I would end up having to deal with my father-in-law, who is also my lover’s husband?”

“stop!!!! Stop thinking like that, that makes it worse, just normal. You’re just going to meet my father and that’s it, no more, no less. As long as you don’t screw up and say something stupid.” (Eira)

“Well, I think I can. I don’t want to kill myself either. Come here, Selene, give me peace of mind.”

“it’s okay …., it’ll be all right….”(Selene)

I took Selene, who was in front of me, and sat her on my lap. She even soothed me, not for nothing was she my little angel.

“Don’t wrinkle her dress.”(Eira)

“I won’t!…. Hue~, that perfume really gives you a nice smell.”

That definitely won’t happen, and I concentrated on enjoying warmth and Selene’s pleasant smell.

In fact I had bought them all perfumes, when we passed by a perfumery, each one with the one she liked the most, they weren’t overpowering smells but they were pleasant to keep smelling for a long time.

That, together with the feeling of peace that Selene gave me, really calmed me down. On the other hand, Eira changed her focus and looked at Silvia, who finally seemed to realize the problem.

“Come to think of it, you don’t seem surprised by what we just talked about, rather you even opined.”(Eira)

“He told me earlier.”

Silvia washed her hands of it and turned Eira’s attention to me again, sometimes I wonder if she’s really good at keeping secrets, but I think it’s because she knows what to say and what not to say.

’anyway, she has good judgment and must know how I think’

In fact, she knows all about it, because when I found out about Astrid and Cordelia, that same day I went to Silvia to unburden myself.

I wanted someone outside the subject to talk to about these things. Well, with the mother-daughter thing going on, that’s where I ended up talking about the twins and Lily, which was also something I wanted to have someone to talk to.

That, along with the whole Astrid and Cordelia thing, all together was so unreal that I still had that feeling, a little bit of disbelief.

I wanted to collect my thoughts a bit and I wanted to complain a lot about how incomprehensible Cordelia was, with someone who knows what she is capable of doing in the future, and as a bonus there was no one better than a potential yandere, to talk about another one.

And in fact, after I told her everything, she herself was incredulous with the whole situation I set up.

After a lot of her complaints about being as she said ’out of control’ and some comments with tsundere tones, she actually gave me more neutral and concise comments and opinions, which really helped me.

After that talk I felt better and free of any little doubts or worries.

“hey!, why do you always tell her everything?” (Eira)

“Silvia is my friend, besides I don’t tell her everything, just superficial things, right Silvia?”

“I know the number, shapes and positions of everyone’s moles.” (Silvia)

“hey! that’s not superficial, what the hell?!”(Eira)

“well, it’s on the surface of the skin. Ahem… well, what difference does it make? It’s common knowledge. In the harem, and Silvia knows how to keep secrets.”

“Just bring her in already and make her your mistress—stop beating around the bush.”(Eira)

“that’s not going to happen, you seem to keep confusing things…well, anyway, while we’re at it, Silvia, what do you think I should do now?”

“let him kill you, you’ll probably show up and say you’re dating his wife or something.”(Silvia)

“Damn it, Silvia, I wouldn’t…. well, sometimes, when I’m nervous..uhmm… Well, I’m a doppelgänger, I can handle it.”

“And you bastard, be serious. Don’t even think of saying anything stupid.”(Eira)

After all, Silvia understands me. When I’m nervous, I tend to do stupid things. Last time I transformed into Lily when I was about to discuss a serious topic with Eira, which earned me a spanking from Elena. A scenario along the lines of:

[“Nice to meet you, father-in-law. I’ll take responsibility and take care of Eira, Selene and your wife.” ]

It’s not impossible. I don’t know what I’m capable of myself, which is why I prepared.

I had an artifact that allowed me to use ring-shaped spells on my finger, mainly to cast anti-pain spells, since the royal castle has a barrier that prevents you from casting spells.

Well, it doesn’t prevent them, but it would sound an alarm if you do. The same goes for magical senses.

Strong people have a kind of detection sensor that allows them to see or hear beyond the normal, so it’s also forbidden in the castle, thus preventing powerful people from extending their senses and listening to other people’s conversations.

Well, in the end they are just warning barriers, and none really suppress it, but you will be taken out of the castle if you do, and even if you have a very high status like my family it will be taken as a great disrespect.

So in the castle all that is forbidden, plus artifacts with imbuing spells also unless you ask for permission, but with Elena’s blessing and imbuing spells with concealment carved into them, I can smuggle them in.

’Yeah, these trash barriers, they’ll never detect something carved with a spell of Elena’s, imbued with her blessing,’

I kept complaining about how bad these barriers are and how it cost me almost nothing to make this ring, which allows me to use magic and spell at will, that just reinforces my thought that there might be a terrorist attack.

although deep down, I’d rather it happen than run into my father-in-law.

“my father is a good person….” (Selene)

Selene seemed to notice that I was again nervous and tries to reassure me, she is so considerate, when she sees her loved ones in trouble, that I am touched.

“oh, really?”

“yes, they will get along fine….”(Selene)

“well, if so you guess it won’t be so bad.”

“hey, why are you suddenly reassured by what Selene said?”(Eira)

“well, she’s my calmness incarnate. If she’s calm, then everything will be fine. Besides, your nervousness doesn’t help me calm down at all.”

“…well, that’s true. It calms me too through resonance, Selene is good at understanding these things… haa~ the truth is that I don’t know how things will happen either, and that old hag ran away.”(Eira)

Yeah… if Selene said she’d be fine, she should be fine. She is, in some part, like Lily, and has a certain omnisence in things like this.

If I think about it, Lily probably ran away as a joke, to keep us in suspense, even though she’s the one who should be most concerned that I knows her husband.

She probably knows that nothing bad will happen and that it will just be a quick introduction between son-in-law and father-in-law, maybe it’s just Eria and I who are overthinking the whole thing.

“uhm…, but it will intimidate you a little…” (Selene)

“…”

I take it back. I hope those demons or whatever they are show up before I meet him.

..

.

“How do you do, young man. My name is Cedric Montclair. I’ve heard many things about you, many things, including the fact that, besides my pretty daughters, you’ve also been seeing my wife.”

“…”

’fuck, I’m definitely dead’
