IT SEEMS LIKE I GOT REINCARNATED INTO THE WORLD OF A YANDERE OTOME GAME

7-10

As luck would have it, the omen slipped into tranquility.

It had been three months of correspondence with both my fiance and his father, and around that time, I became troubled about the storage location of my received letters.

My letter had a wish for consultation from Wolf.

This is because Wolf is currently faced with a very difficult problem.

There were talks of Duke Ranuncula taking in a second wife.

The duke's wife, that is to say, Wolf's mother, died four years ago. During that time, these talks wouldn't go through. There was one particular audacious lady, who since four years ago, had not been seen giving up at all.

The duke said 『Having a second wife at this age is too late』 and so he never had another person, but personally, I think he underestimated himself too much. Leaving his position as prime minister aside, if it's that person, it wouldn't be strange for any woman to say『I want to look after you...』.

In any case, four years had already passed since that time, and Wolf's engagement was officially announced. By the way, this was just from one week ago. If it's among children, an official ceremony for the decided engagement isn't done. I was only told to nod my head to the duke, then to my father.

At any rate, it was then that they began sinking their teeth in for a second time. The relatives began whispering things like「Think, now that your son is getting married. You'll be lonely without a second wife in your old age」which seemed to upset the duke.

These kinds of issues, in truth, even I have it at my home. In our house there was only my father and me, and no doubt presently, there are these hardships. In my family's case, since there was no apparent heir, the fight of being the second wife was even fiercer.

There was only one single warning that came from me. Save for a woman that my father personally introduced to me, I absolutely won't allow those sort of women to step foot into our house.

These people existed in the aristocracy.

The methods they used to show that they could become good mothers was something that I disliked. For example, taking their own servants and placing them into the household. I've also heard that they forced things like clothes, jewelry, horses, dogs, and cats, as much as their circumstances allowed.

Although it would be over once the latter was refused and sent back, the former was worrisome. By taking action, that means the person was capable of doing unreasonable things.

That was what I put together in writing and sent back to Wolf, and the response was this.

『There was a lady who came into the house when my father wasn't around, alone』

That even now, she doesn't understand the refusal for her visits, or rather than doesn't, it was more of, she doesn't want to understand them, was what he replied back.

It seems that woman has always liked Duke Ranuncula for a long time. She was a woman who continued to think of the duke even after he first married, and she insisted to Wolf that she couldn't bear being away from his father.

Do you think it would go well? With that question he asked, somehow I replied to him that it might, with great effort. It was really sweet of him.

Hearing my friend trying his best, I also could not sit still.

『Even if she's not related by blood, the most important thing is that you become a good family. That's why, good luck. I'm cheering you on』

After composing that letter to my close friend, I sent it to him.
