Chapter 341
Chapter 341
When Fara and I arrived at the cafeteria, Father was already there, looking over some papers and waiting for us.
"Father, I didn't realize you were already here. I apologize for the delay."
"Father-in-law, thank you for waiting."
"Well, here you are."
When we called out to him, he handed the documents to Carlo, the butler who was standing by, and looked at us.
"Speaking of which, there was a bit of a commotion earlier,......, did something happen?'
"Yes⁉ Well, ......."
Apparently, the sound of the magic activated when I visited Farah's room was echoing throughout the mansion.
I think Father is smiling a little, as if he already knows what happened.
I glanced at Fara, who was standing next to me, and saw her blushing and looking down in some embarrassment.
Hmmm,Well, it's okay. I've already heard most of what happened'.
'Chi, father,......, that's a little nasty.'
Fara looked a little surprised to hear father's words, but immediately huffed and said back to follow me, "Father-in-law, ...... it's mean.
But Father is enjoying himself
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Let's have dinner soon. You too, get to your seats quickly."
"Yes, Father, I will."
We sat down on the chairs as we were urged to do so, and soon after, dinner was served.
The meals are surprisingly similar to those in Bardia's mansion.
If I had to say so, I would say that there is a little bit too much meat in the meal.
During the meal, our father, perhaps sensing what we were feeling, began to talk.
"I try not to change the meals in the Bardia territory and in this mansion in the imperial capital. If you want to eat the imperial capital's mainstream seasoning, please let Carlo, the butler, know."
"I understand. father, What is the seasoning of the mainstream of the imperial capital like?"
Oh, I am curious about that too.
When he saw our reaction of interest, he shook his head in a playful manner.
"It's good that you are interested in it, but I don't recommend it."
He explained the reason why he did not recommend it.
He told me that the Imperial Capital receives a variety of foodstuffs from all over the empire, but at the same time, it takes time for them to be transported.
As a result, most of the ingredients are baked or boiled and seasoned heavily to prevent food poisoning.
If one thinks about it, if foodstuffs are brought from far away by horse-drawn carriage at room temperature, it is natural that many of them would be damaged quickly.
It is said that for royalty and high-ranking nobles, there is a method where foodstuffs are transported to the Imperial Capital alive and then slaughtered.
However, if even ordinary nobles use this method, it is not realistic because of the high cost of transportation and labor.
"...... and that's all the reasons why I don't recommend it. But that is why I am looking forward to seeing the reaction of the central aristocrats when they eat the food we serve at the " reception."
When I finished explaining, my father began to laugh gruffly.
Is the food in the imperial capital really that bad?
However, even if everything my father says is true, it is not a good idea to make assumptions without eating the food.
Besides, I believe that the transportation of ingredients by charcoal trucks is one of the business activities we should develop in the future, so let's try it at least once for the sake of market research.
With this thought in mind, I responded with a nod of the head.
"I see. ......I understand your reason. However, I still feel like I would like to try it at least once, so may I ask you to serve me some of the food from the imperial capital tomorrow morning?"
"I see. Since it's a good opportunity, may I ask you for a plate too, father-in-law?"
It seems that Fara also wanted to try the cuisine of the imperial capital, and she raised her hand in front of her own chest as if following my lead.
"What is it? If you want to try it, I won't stop you. Carlo, serve it to Rid and Fara for breakfast tomorrow."
When the father said so, he replied, "Yes, sir," and bowed on the spot.
Well, I'm a little afraid of what kind of food will be served, but I'm looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast.
Afterwards, we all have dinner and talk a little about tomorrow.
At this time, Fara asked Father a question about the attire that we should wear when we appear before Their Majesties.
'Hmmm... ...... Fara's attire?'
Yes, I think it's fine the way it is. I think that Renaloute's clothes suit Fara, so I think it's fine the way it is.
The father slowly turned his attention to Fara after hearing what I had to say.
She looked a little embarrassed, but then she became serious and began to talk.
"Master Rid said so, too, and I'm thinking of greeting them tomorrow wearing my Renalute outfit."
'Ha, I see. Then that's fine."
Despite the seriousness of Fara's tone, Father's cheeks relaxed and he answered in a lighthearted manner.
Fara looked at him with a puzzled look and asked him a little anxiously, "Are you sure about this?"
"It is true that tomorrow we will appear before Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress, but we are not the kind of people who worry about such things. Some of the central nobility may say something behind our backs, but no matter what happens, there will always be those who will talk behind our backs. There is no need to worry about it. Rather, Fara and Rid should wear the outfits that make you feel the most confident."
I nodded at Father's strong words and turned my gaze to Farah.
"That's right, isn't it? Fara, I still think you should wear your Renalute outfit tomorrow as usual."
"Yes. ...... Thank you."
She smiled happily as she listened to our words.
Soon after we finished eating dinner, we went back to our rooms and prepared ourselves for tomorrow.
"Okay, ......, I think that's all right. I have to tell you the last and most important thing.
I muttered to myself and called Deanna into the room and asked her if she would go and talk to Farah and Asuna.
She bowed and left the room.
well, when I say call out to them, the girls are in the next room, so it's okay if I call out to them.
However, I felt like I had to somehow stop myself from doing so today because of the incident that happened earlier.
Not long after that, there was a knock at the door and I heard Diana's voice saying, "Master Rid, I have brought Lady Fara and Asuna with me."
I quickly answered and asked everyone to enter the room, then urged Fara and Asuna to sit on the sofa.
I asked Diana, who had called them over, "I'm sorry, but I think this is going to be a bit of a long conversation, so could you please get them some tea?
Awe," and she left the room.
I sat down on the sofa across the desk from them and took a deep breath.
Let's see,......, I will now explain about the 'memories of my previous life' that came up in my conversation with Valerie and the others.
Thus, I began to talk to Fara and Asuna about "memories of a previous life."
