Dad Is a Hero, Mom Is a Spirit, I'm a Reincarnator (父は英雄、母は精霊、娘の私は転生者)

Enter.

So you've come.

Do you know why you were summoned?

Yes, my lord.

Then what of your connections to Prince Ravisel?

I have cut ties with him.

You were unaware of the discord between the royal family and the spirits.

I appreciate that you can't have imagined what you did to be problematic.

However, because of your actions, the royal family is now after Ellen.

Ellen told me to have a word with you...

Apparently, until I do, she has no intention of speaking to me.

Do you understand why Ellen burned the prince's letter without reading it?

Never mind what it said.

Now there's no evidence it was really from His Highness,

or even that you delivered it to Ellen in the first place.

Milady has saved me, hasn't she?

First my father saves you, and now you're indebted to my daughter.

My deepest apologies.

I'm restoring you as Sauvel's guard.

What?!

Did you not hear me?

I-I did, my lord.

However, I still can't fully trust you.

I'll be keeping my eye on you for a while.

Yes, my lord.

Be grateful to Ellen.

Alberto!

Lord Barvel!

I'll...

GODDESS VÁR'S CONDEMNATION

Lady Ellen, would you like me to refill your drink?

Thank you, Pawpaw! Yes, please!

Ellen!

Lord Rovel.

Nothing?! Are you ignoring me, Ellen?

Did you speak with Alberto?

Yes. I've lifted his suspension.

So please at least look at me!

Could you please forgive your dear father?!

Father.

Ellen!

I think you should be more clear with the people around you

about what will and won't cause issues.

Humans and spirits have different values, after all.

True...

It's wrong of you to blame Uncle Alberto after neglecting to do so!

Yes, ma'am.

As long as you're reflecting on your mistakes, you're good.

There. There.

Ellen!

My, my. I can't tell which of you is the parent here anymore.

I understand that you're thinking of me, Father.

But if you're going to use me as bait, please let me know in advance.

I couldn't help taking it out on you.

It was a horrible punishment.

Now, we can think of how to deal with Mr. Blackheart together, can't we?

Mr. Blackheart?

I mean Prince Ravisel, who is purely evil at heart, sinister, and spiteful.

What a fitting description!

Just so you know, you are too, Father.

How?!

That's awful! That's really awful of you, Ellen!

Father, haven't you had enough?

Oh, come on. Just a little longer.

Now, now! Let us lighten the mood a bit and have fun today!

Very good, Pawpaw!

Okay, let us show Lady Ellen our skills as those who serve the knights on a daily basis!

Understood!

Nine, ten! Are you ready?!

Come and find us, milady!

Now then, where could you all be hiding?

I'm going to find everyone right away!

Huh?

Not here.

How about here?!

Not here either.

I can't find them...

Oh, drat! How could I let this happen?

This simply won't do.

Pawpaw!

Your pawpaw shall assist you.

Ah!

There!

Found you!

That's our Lady Ellen!

Found you!

All right! Your father's going to help too!

Right here!

Here!

Over there!

How's that, Ellen?

I'm playing with Pawpaw and the others.

Father, please don't butt in!

I'm sorry, Ellen!

Could we play one more time?

Why, of course!

Miss Ellen, can I please join in too?

Miss Ellen! Hey! Please, I beg you!

It's interesting to see so many unexpected sides of Lord Rovel.

Indeed. Moreover, Ellen's presence here brings such joy.

Here I come!

Grammie, can I come over and play again?

Of course you can, Ellen!

Come anytime.

I will!

You too, Pawpaw!

You're always welcome here.

Thank you very much!

Uncle Alberto.

I'm so glad.

If anything happens, be sure to consult Uncle Sauvel about it, okay?

Thank you very much. I shall never forget your kindness.

You're overreacting.

Hardly.

At the very least, I want to be able to convey my gratitude.

Okay then.

My!

What about me?

Ellen doesn't do well with beards, so...

Oh man.

Ellen.

Now, your father has a few more things to talk about with Sauvel,

so would you mind going on home without me?

Okay! Oh, and Uncle Sauvel!

Our first order of business is what to do with this.

How about using the suggested mine?

We could. However, we'll need to look into it first.

True enough.

Either way, you really saved me here.

You spared our house from ruin during my time as head of the family.

Ever since you came back, Brother...

It's like I've been on a lucky streak.

It's more that things have been wrong until now, Your Grace.

Besides that, Sauvel...

Why don't you hurry and invite your beloved and your daughter here?

Even Mother's curious.

I also believe that's a fine idea.

So, who is this woman you fell in love with?

About that...

She's the poster girl for an eatery in town. Her name is Aria.

Our daughter's name is Rafilia. She's about the same age as Ellen.

Oh?

I used to dine there with a few of the knights, and...

She treated me kindly.

Then please bring Lady Aria to the house as soon as possible.

Why in such a hurry?

At present, Lady Ellen is the only heir to the Vankreift family.

However, it is her duty to one day take Lady Origin's place as spirit queen.

We must make certain the royal family knows the Vankreift family has a legitimate heir.

Once Ravisel ascends to the throne,

he may well issue a royal decree forcing his son on Ellen.

You're right.

Normally, as a divorcé, I wouldn't be allowed to marry for another three years.
