Charlotte's thoughts
(A/N Notes: Oh no... It's also here)
Alexander and Catherine were inside a room with a big table as they sat on one side of the table together with their children, while on the other side of the table sat Bernadotte together with his daughter Charlotte,
Both parties were silent until Bernadotte broke the silence with a serious face
"If you forgive me, but I will be blunt do you care to explain what was that gigantic sudden surge of magic that the magic detectors in my nation sensed some weeks ago"
And with that Alexander was quick to answer him with a serious face
"I knew you were going to ask that, so I will also be blunt... It was my son Douglas who caused that magic surge some weeks ago"
He pointed at Douglas, who had his eyes closed as his head leaned to the side, he was sleeping of course, with his hand
Bernadotte kept his serious face as he stayed silent...
"... Wat?"
Until he opened his mouth and made a genuinely confused face, and all the tension in the room disappeared
"Yup, that's right, it was him who caused that"
"... *Trying to say something*... *Tries again*... How!?"
"Well... To put it simply, he was born with a lot of mana that manages to stay completely shut inside him"
"How is that simple!?"
"It is what it is, I can do nothing about that"
The two were having a very casual conversation because they were friends for a long time already. Meanwhile, as the two were talking, Charlotte was starting at Douglas as her head was filled with thoughts
Yes, really... She was reincarnated from Japan and into an otome game she was pretty hooked into, but I won't talk about that because she already died, probably run over by truck-kun or because of a bad lifestyle, and we don't care about that stuff here! We only care about what happens from now on! And because I'm too lazy to think of a proper backstory for her!
She was 17 years old now, and she had been worrying about why she didn't get engaged to Richard when she was still a kid, and she also befriended the heroine while she went to school
"Hmmm?... Is there something about my son, Douglas, that is displeasing you, Charlotte-san?"
"Huh?"
Charlotte was brought back to reality by Catherine when her name was called, and she quickly noticed that she ended up glaring at Douglas as she thought to herself
"Ah! S, sorry! I was thinking too deeply about something else, that I didn't notice that I was glaring at him"
"Ara, is that so? Then it is fine, I was worried for a moment that this sleepy son of mine was displeasing you for sleeping right now"
"Ah! I see, don't worry about that... *Looks at Douglas still sleeping* And is he always sleeping like this?"
"Yes, though he makes up for when he is awake by being a genius and sometimes even making some breakthroughs we never thought of doing before"
"Breakthroughs?"
"Yes, I think it is easier to show you what I am talking about"
Catherine then waved for one of the royal guards to come closer to her and she asked him for his gun, and he complied with her orders. Then she unloaded the single bullet the gun had and handed to Charlotte, who was shocked at what she was holding in her hands
"This gun was named Contender, by Douglas, and only recently we started handing it out to our royal guards as one of their new weapons, and it was also him who designed this gun from scratch, asked our elven blacksmiths to make the body of the gun and the bullets, and asked our dwarven alchemists made the gunpowder. Then he came to me showing it while feeling proud"
"... Can I ask you why he made it?
"He only made so that he would not need to put any effort in case he ended up in a fight"
"..."
And for some reason, the scene of a guy doing some elaborate swordplay only for him to get shot by a gun that was shot by Douglas came to Charlotte's mind
"Ah! That is right! Come on you all, introduce yourselves to her"
Then Catherine remembered as she gave the gun back to the guard, that her children didn't introduce themselves to Charlotte
"... I, I'm Ricardo Maxwell... N, nice to meet you, princess Charlotte"
"I'm Rose Maxwell! It's nice to meet you, Charlotte!"
"R, Rose, that is not a proper introduction for a princess!"
"Do not worry Catherine-sama, she is still a kid so there is no problem for her to be introducing herself like that at her age"
"My how adult-like from you"
"I hear that a lot, also... It is nice to meet you too, Princess Rose. I am Charlotte Brodet"
And the last one who still needed to introduce himself was Douglas, who was still soundly asleep
"Hmmm... Douglas, could you wake up and introduce yourself?"
"Zzzzzzz... Huh?"
And when his mother called for him and moved him a little he waked up, and as he yawned and had a sleepy face. Charlotte could not help but look at him and think...
when Douglas woke up enough to talk, he introduced himself
"... I am the first prince Douglas Maxwell, it is my pleasure to be able to meet you, first princess Charlotte Brodet"
And he gently smiled at her as he closed his eyes...
"..." <... Goddangit... He's the epitome of handsomeness and... Just right into my strike zone... That sleepy handsome face! That voice of his! And that god dangit smile of his! Kuh! If only he wasn't a 10-year-old kid, I would've asked to be engaged to him>
And Charlotte couldn't help but get easily charmed by him, even though all he did was greet her with his natural appearance
"Princess Charlotte?..."
"Charlotte-san?..."
"Charlotte?..."
<"I really want to get betrothed to Douglas...">
"Huh?..."
"Hm?"
Douglas who was calling for her got confused when she said that, and Charlotte who didn't notice that she ended up saying what she had just thought to herself, started to blush. With everyone else looking at with varying degrees of surprise at what she blurted, then...
*Clap clap* "Alexander dear, I will go show the palace to Charlotte-san together with the kids, so you can continue your discussion with Bernadotte-sama"
"Ah! Yes, that will be very helpful, thank you, my dear Catherine"
And with her quick action, she managed to break the silence and left the room together with Charlotte and the kids, leaving only Alexander and Bernadotte seating in front of each other
"So where did we stopped?..."
"Hold up... What was that of my daughter wanting to be betrothed to your son?"
"Oh god..."
"I will make it very clear that I won't give away the hand of my precious daughter to-"
"If I may interrupt the discussion you two are having, but I just want to share something that my wife said about Douglas potential at magic"
John was quick to stop Bernadotte before he became a pain in the ass dad who dotes his daughter way too much, and yes, he managed to marry Anastasia
