The Reincarnated Princess’s Aspiration

We walked into the large house and proceeded to the doorway that was farthest away from the entrance. A second before Wolf could reach for the handle, the door swung open from inside. Across the threshold stood exactly the man I’d expected to find—the chief.

“Thank you for coming,” he said, greeting me politely and inviting us in.

I stepped into the room, feeling a little nervous. As soon as I set foot inside, I noticed a smell particular to medicinal herbs.

The room itself was packed with objects. There were three separate shelves with small pigeonhole compartments, and these shelves took up the entirety of one wall. The first shelf housed vials, another stored scrolls of paper that had been rolled up and fastened with string, and the last was composed of drawers, so I couldn’t see those contents.

On another wall, dried plants that I didn’t recognize hung upside down. Beneath those was a desk heaped with old books—these books were piled up on either side of what looked to be a druggist’s mortar, which was positioned in the center of the desk.

“I apologize for the mess. Please, sit.” The chief pulled over a chair from a corner of the room and brushed some dust off the seat with the back of his hand.

When he offered me the chair, I found myself glancing up at Wolf.

Wolf gently pushed me forward, gesturing that I should accept the chief’s offer, and once I’d sat down, he stood behind me and a little off to one side. “You should’ve cleaned up a bit more, dad. You can’t invite a cute girl into this mess.”

“It may not look like it,” the chief said, “but I did tidy up a little.”

“Clearly, you didn’t try very hard.”

They were both frowning at each other with no hint of affection, but the mood of the conversation was relaxed. Their voices weren’t as harsh as the words that carried them either, and the general atmosphere was calm. The only time I’d seen them together had been my first day in the village, so I’d imagined them having a more impersonal relationship. However, if I ignored their positions as chief and heir, it seemed like they had a perfectly normal father-son rapport.

My nerves had been buzzing since I’d walked in, but now I felt the tension in my shoulders ease up.

I let my breath out in a small puff, and then the chief looked me in the eyes. At that, I jolted upright from my slouch. I saw a slight narrowing in his honey-colored eyes, which were surrounded by deep wrinkles, and his frown returned before I could realize that he’d been smiling at me.

“Have you gotten used to life in the village yet?” he asked, tilting a pitcher to pour water into a cup.

“I have,” I replied. “I am rather clumsy, and I do get a lot of things wrong because of that, but Lily’s always around to help, so I’m managing.”

“She’s great, isn’t she?”

“Definitely.” I nodded vehemently while taking the cup of water from the chief.
