Chapter 15: The day before the departure: Morning
(A/N Notes: Just two more chapters for the dragon)
Early in the morning
"I'll make sure to come back as fast as I can, Douglas-samaaaaa! *Sobbing*"
"*Nods and waves his hand* Good luck there..."
Douglas was seeing off a sobbing Sophia who was inside a carriage, that was already moving, was going to her mission area, even though she didn't want to
"You know... I kind of feel bad for Sophia, but there is not a lot we can do for her right now. Well, son. I and your mother will be away for this week, so make sure to not make any mischief while we are away"
"Hm *Nods* Have a nice time there... Mom... Dad..."
"Thank you, sweetie. I am really happy to be the mother of a nice boy like you"
And with that Alexander and Catherine, entered a carriage and left in the opposite direction that Sophia's carriage went. And with that everyone who was seeing them off, went back inside the castle and go back to their usual routine
Some hours later
"Fufufufufu!" <Now that Sophia isn't here, I have Douglas to myself for the entire week, and I'll make to pamper him to his heart's content>
Charlotte was walking down the corridor as she held hands with Douglas in a happy mood, they were going to his study room so that he could have his private lessons, she knocked on the door, and his tutor let both go them in, Douglas them sat down with Charlotte standing behind him
"I heard a lot about you from my fellow friends who all kept praising you, do you mind if I give you a test before we start the lesson?"
*Shakes head*
"Great! Them let's get started"
The tutor then passed a sheet of paper to Douglas, who picked the pencil and started answering the questions
<... Isn't this one of the situations where the reincarnator sees the test and answers all the questions, that are very simple when compared to modern Japanese tests... This my chance to show my cool side to Douglas, by helping him with the questions!>
With that Charlotte peeked at the test Douglas was doing, and when she saw the contents of the first question...
"!?" <Wha, whaaaaaaat!? Wha, what kind of math question is this!?!?!? Calculus!? Algebra!? And how is he answering all of them as they're nothing!? Not even I had learned that kind of stuff in my time at the university back in Japan!!!>
As Charlotte screamed to herself inside her mind, Douglas finished answering the test, and the tutor picked the test and checked, then he made an extremely surprised face
"Wha!? E, everything is correctly answered a, and... you even found the solution for this near impossible question!?"
<You're kidding me, right?>
Charlotte who thought she would have an edge when it came to studying, was easily outsmarted by Douglas. Then she noticed that he was looking at her with expectation eyes
"... That is right, you are a smart boy! I am so proud of you, Douglas!" *Caressing him on the head*
And when she caressed his hair, he made a very happy and pleased expression, that only made Charlotte's face and heart melt in love
"Well... Since I will not be of much help here, I will be taking it to leave"
"Hm? Ah! Sure, sure. I will make sure to teach the crown prince flawlessly"
"That is good to hear... Hm?"
"..."
Charlotte saw Douglas extending his arms towards her, and she immediately understood he wanted a hug, which he gave him one
"Chu"
"!?"
And Douglas kissed her on the lips as they hugged, and let go of her. Charlotte then left the study room with a red face as she covered her lips with one hand
"That's not fair, Douglas..."
A few minutes later
Charlotte who was bored decided to go to the library to read a romance story, she picked a book and went to a table to read. A minute later a man sat at the same table as her to read a book, but slightly away from her, and they kept reading in silence
" "I miss anime..." "
" "... Huh?" "
When they noticed what the other had blurted out unconsciously, they looked at each other with a really surprised expression on their
< <Could it be!... That you're also a reincarnator!?> >
Some minutes later
"Wow! I never thought I would meet another reincarnator, and that reincarnated as the villainess"
"Me too! I didn't think you would a reincarnator, but now it makes sense that the scenarios are all messed up"
"Yeah, sorry about that. But Gramps kept proposing ideas that my otaku self couldn't resist"
"I understand how you feel, and you don't need to apologize, since thanks to you I don't have to worry about any death flag and I even managed to get betrothed to Douglas, who's exactly my type!"
The two managed to hit off pretty well, Charlotte and Jack, who was the former prime minister and had already retired from politics, he's also John's father, kept talking about their thoughts after they reincarnated for quite some time
"Charlotte?... *Sees her and Jack getting along*......"
Douglas who finished his lessons, went to the library when he heard that Charlotte was in there, and when he saw the two getting along very well, he didn't feel happy, so he decided to go near them
"So that explains why dad acts so differently than in the game"
"Yeah, who would've thought that a kick to his face was he needed to be set on the right path"
"Oh yeah, not even I would- hm?"
Charlotte then felt someone leaning on her, and when she looked she saw Douglas seated and he tightly hugged her arm and leaned on her
"Douglas? What are you doing here?"
"..."
<Why didn't he answered me!?... Wait, could it be?...> "... Douglas, are you jealous by any chance?"
"... *Looks away with his cheeks tinted of red*"
"..." <OH MY GOD!!! He's jealous, and he looks so cute like this!!!> "Douglas... I love you!"
And unable to hold herself, Charlotte started to passionately shower him with kisses, with Jack watching she do that
<I know I'm married and such but... Couples go explode!!!>
His heart was still very otaku as always
"... Can you two please go somewhere else to flirt?"
"Ah! W, w, w, we will be doing that right now!"
And with Jack's warning, Charlotte quickly left the library with Douglas, as they held hands. And as they walked down the corridor they happened to pass by Maria
"Hello, Douglas-sama, Charlotte-sama"
"Hello, Maria-san"
"Hm... *Nods*"
"And make sure to not forget to come to the meeting place early in the morning"
"Okay..."
"Huh? Are you two going somewhere?"
"Yes, I and the prince will be searching for a present for Sophia since her birthday is around the corner"
"I see"
"... I will bring something for you too..."
"Really! Ah! I mean, thank you, Douglas"
And the three went back on going their own ways, once Douglas and Charlotte entered his room, Maria was quick to start pampering him to both of their heart's content in the privacy of his room
