The Tanaka Family Reincarnates-Chapter 301
Guardian [Part 3]
“…In a good mood, aren’t you? Your Majesty,” the queen sighed.
“It’s been a while since the last time I went wild, Victoria.”
The king smiled broadly with his white teeth showing.
“His Highness Edward will also participate this year, so please don’t get too excited and go over the top. You are already this old…”
Seeing the king’s smile, Queen Victoria Charlotte Royal shrugged her shoulders while thinking, ‘What a hopeless man.’
The king had always enjoyed physical activities more than doing government affairs. He was the sort of man who would join the knight training whenever he had the chance. And Victoria, the one who had been decided to be his marriage partner since childhood, held a strong interest in the country’s history and government, the exact opposite of him.
Queen Victoria’s POV
—”Women should just stand aside and smile prettily.”
I always knitted my brows to everyone who said that to me whenever I tried to learn more than I had to.
I no doubt had a high position among the Kingdom’s women. Even so, after entering the Royal Castle, I was still not allowed to do the things I wanted to, which led to my dissatisfaction towards this place.
In such a rigid Royal Castle, His Majesty and I were each other’s fiance(e), partner in crime, and comrade in arms.
He arranged it so I could also attend his classes, which were taught by the best teachers who were gathered to be in charge of his education. In turn, I created small opportunities for him to slip out to the knight training.
We became how we are now after cooperating with each other on the things we wanted to do and succeeding in doing many tricks together.
“I leave the government affairs to you. …Well, the Kingdom would be more peaceful and safe if I entrusted them in your hands. As always, the bunch of thickheaded people in the Royal Castle are a pain in the neck.”
“Why does a new person keep appearing even after one person retires? Good grief.” The king scratched his head.
He seemed to not realize that, in fact, everyone felt compelled to be strict because their king was too unrestrained.
“Oh my, doing government affairs is also pretty tough, you know? Look, we have to deal with all sorts of things because of a certain someone’s illegitimate child, the shortage of cotton, and the incomprehensible demand from the Empire…” Please visit 𝑓𝗿𝐞e𝑤𝚎𝗯n𝗼ν𝙚l. 𝑐𝒐𝓶
“! Hold up! Even you also think that Lady Joanna’s father is me? Rose has been looking at me with cold eyes, Edward has been treating me like a stranger recently, and Jadwi told me to stay away because my beard prickles… Ah, what about Max? It’s about time he returns from his study abroad to the Empire, right? Hm, the weird thing is… he didn’t write anything about it in his letter, did he?”
The king looked at me worriedly.
My son, this Kingdom’s first prince, Maximilian Lewin Royal, had gone on short-term study abroad multiple times to learn about the politics of various countries in between the breaks of his government affairs duties.
Similar to me, his mother… no, maybe even more than me, he had a keen interest in government and different policies so he studied it greedily, like a starving wolf.
“*sigh*… He’ll be back soon, regardless. Of course, I wouldn’t write such a shameful story in my letter, would I?”
I really couldn’t bring myself to tell my son that his father might have an illegitimate child through a letter from across the ocean.
“I-I told you already! I have never loved a woman other than you and Rose! Believe me!”
“…What happens twice will happen three times, right?”
