Chapter 68: Festival with Vivienne (IXX).

The horses pulled the carriage and we were close to the capital city by ground. It has only been a thirty minute ride but I see Vivienne getting more curious by all the animals that we came across on a field of green grass.

"Mama... What is that?"

Vivienne pointed into a cow and I leaned at the window to tell her what it was. "That\'s a cow."

"Cow...?"

"Yes, that\'s a cow."

It happened a few more times and goodness me she was just so cute, she kept asking all the animals that we came across with.

"Gwoat?"

"Yes, that\'s a goat."

"Ohhh okie goat."

I patted her soft head and her expression was still looking excited. Her feet were rocking back and forth happily so I wondered if she was excited about getting to see Rose again soon.

"Are you excited to see mommy?" I ask her and she turns to me with a nod.

"Yes... Mommy."

I chuckled holding Vivienne to my lap as she continued to look into the window. "I\'m excited to see her too."

Father was watching us both looking happily at us as time went on, we had to stop.

The carriage has arrive to the city gates and I noticed there were more visitors than two days ago. There were so many carriages in line waiting to get into the city, I could recognize a few of them being rich merchants on the other parts of the world, especially kingdoms and there were even people speaking their native language from [Sprivanto].

Speaking of sprivanto...

I actually didn\'t hear anything from Big sister Valentina and Gisela if they were going to visit for the festival but since I didn\'t get any letter pertaining to it I\'m mostly guessing they would be busy to visit. I believe that they already have a daughter close to Vivienne\'s age already.

"Please be careful! One at a time! Thank you for visiting and enjoy the festival!"

Several Knights positioned at the front of the city gates were on duty, checking the visitors if they were safe and I believe they were given duty to check if there were any demons hidden among them or anything like that.

"Kein... Actually, you won\'t be on duty like them?" (Baron Hills) asked and I look towards the hardworking knights saluting and welcoming every visitor that came by. "Its not like I don\'t enjoy getting to see you resting but now that your escort mission is over, you didn\'t get any orders similar to those boys?"

"No... I have separate orders from the royal family. It was mostly disclosed but the first princess has her orders for me and I think I would be relieved from my current duties." I explained to my father and he didn\'t look satisfied but still respected my privacy.

I would still need to explain to him that I\'ll be going away for a while... and I have to write a letter to Princess Cecilia about her plan to leave.

I can\'t drag father to the trouble I\'ve brought myself in for now so I mustered up a convincing smile and held Vivienne by her side. I guess she was a little surprised because she raised her arms and looked up at me. "Wah!" (Vivienne)

"It\'s alright father." I tell him, hoping that he\'ll be able to brush it all off. "I\'m going to treat this as a small vacation and besides Vivienne- will be with me. I have to show her around the city and maybe into your art competition that you\'re going to be holding like always."

"And you\'ll be meeting Rose, I hope her highness... is well. Remember Kein, she\'s an engaged woman and while I found your words of declaration of bringing her in as your wife-"

"Be careful."

I gulped.

I know that was actually a bit like words of impulse when I told father teasingly that I\'ll be bringing home a wife but I promise to fix everything. "I will be careful, father. It\'s a bit complicated and I can\'t explain because I was ordered for my mission to be disclosed, I just ask you to trust me."

"I do trust you, daughter of mine. This sounds like trouble and if royals are involved I won\'t be able to get you out of this one." (Baron Hills)

"I don\'t expect you to, father. I would prefer if you tell everyone you don\'t know anything to be safe. Ignorance is bliss as they say."

I was a bit nervous of what his next words will be, my heart feeling a bit heavy because I was afraid he\'ll be disappointed in me getting tangled in a mess like this for liking an engaged princess. I expected a few scolding but... he told me something else.

He reached out to hold my shoulders and smiled. "I\'m glad you\'re just happier now, Kein. Just be careful and enjoy the festival alright? Tell her highness, she\'s welcome to visit our home if she wants to."

You\'re too much of a good father- Baron Hills, I can\'t believe a man like you in this world exists, it\'s like I hit the isekai family jackpot... I know for a fact that many people who get isekai will either get a shitty family- which I did but I found something better after.

"Thank you, father. I promise to be safe." I tell him getting a little teary eyed. "You\'re... one of the best things that came into my life sir... The day you adopted me is where everything changed for the better. I am... eternally grateful."

Thank you... for giving me shelter, for giving me a home, and for giving me a better future I couldn\'t even imagine having when I transmigrated into someone else\'s body.

I bowed my head deeply to hide my tears. Vivienne held my hand seeing that I was crying... and called out to me, "Moma..."

"I\'m okay I\'m sorry... I just feel happy to have you both."

"As I am, lass."

Sniff... I feel a little emotional but I suppose its just one of those days. I didn\'t even notice we were next in line to enter the city because of the comforting silence we were having. I composed myself and wiped all of the tears replacing it with a smile.

"I\'ll see you later, father."

He nods in my direction and I don\'t need to know what that meant with words.

Clack!

One of our servants opens the carriage door to reveal so many people walking alongside the busy streets of the city. Father and I went out at the same time to feel the spirit of Puronian people on such a beautiful day like this.

Many people are doing tricks, bringing their own instruments and dancing. The merchants were double the persuasion to get people at their stall.

"Welcome! Come to my booth! Its worth the look!"

"Are you looking for charms to bless you by our light goddess?! Come take a look!"

"Do you see anything interesting you would like to purchase?! Since its the festival if you buy anything I\'ll give you a sweet discount miss!"

I helped Vivienne get out of the carriage and into the ground, I held her hand as she leaned in closer being amazed by the vast sea of different people. "Moma! So many people!" she yells out at me looking excited to explore everything on her own.

Her nose was sniffing into the direction of where the food stalls were and I found that a little cute to watch. "Moma Ubie nuts that way!" (Vivienne) pointed in one of the directions and I just patted her head.

She definitely has the same sensitivity of smell like a dog in my opinion but she could be wrong. "I\'m impressed you would know where it is, Vivienne."

Father takes out his hat from his [Storage Ring], placing it on top of his head and turns to me. "Kein, enjoy your time with my granddaughter. I\'ll be at the art booth to watch and judge. Swing by now, will you?"

The art competition he usually holds every year. I won my title as champion six years ago by beating a grown adult who was too arrogant about his title, not letting me in because of my age and not seeing my worth in skill.

Ah... Rose was cheering for me the whole time back then and even defended me from the same arrogant man I fought in the art tournament. I could remember how she watched me in the crowd, yelling my name to win.

It was really nostalgic, I needed to ask her to swing by with me later. "Yes father. We\'ll see you there."

He nods at me before kneeling to Vivienne\'s direction. "Stay close to your, mother and visit grandpa later. Have fun and eat all you want, granddaughter of mine. Hold out your palms for me." (Baron Hills) takes out a money pouch out of his pocket and handed it over to the little girl.

Vivienne who was holding both of her palms out suddenly received a huge money pouch, when it landed on her hands I could even hear some of the coins clinking.

Knowing father\'s history of being soft towards his loved ones. I would be guessing inside that golden pouch there\'s about a hundred gold coins in there for Vivienne to spend.

"Grampa?" She looked up towards Baron Hills who looked at her happily when she called him grandpa.

He reached out to pat her head and told her, "Spend everything like there\'s no tomorrow, kiddo."

"I wuv you, grampa."

She hugs Baron Hills and jumps happily with the money pouch she revealed. I eyed my father like, what the hell dad?! He was having those flowery effects all around him!

I swear... I have to tell him to lessen the spoiling later! That\'s too much money for a three year old girl! Oh no I feel like I\'m going to carry everything Vivienne buys later...
