“Well, does that mean your daughter and the newly engaged party will be thrown in jail for unauthorized use of my seal? Well, it’s not just about them ending up in jail, though. Since the seal they used without permission belongs to a noble, who knows what will happen.”

“N-No, please, anything but that!”

“After breaking the agreement, failing to return the funds, and not wanting to send your daughter to jail… Isn’t it a bit naive to expect everything to be forgiven just because you’re groveling?”

Douglas, my father, continued to taunt Olivia’s father, who remained prostrated.

“Now, now, Father. Let’s call it quits here regarding this matter. Marrying someone who dislikes me to that extent wouldn’t lead to happiness.”

“Kaiser!”

“Are you sure about this?”

For now, I had to intervene to prevent Olivia’s father from being killed by my father, Douglas.

The previous me might have let it happen, but now, with the memories and values of my past life, I didn’t want that.

“Yes. However, simply backing down without a plan might invite ridicule from other nobles. We’ve thought about an appropriate response that benefits our family.”

“Ah, splendid, my son! Very well then! Do as you please. Consider it a lesson in nobility!”

“Thank you, Father.”

“Schwarz, it’s been a long journey.”

“W-Wait, Douglas!”

“Hmph, become the cornerstone of my son.”

With that, Father seemed pleased as he laughed and ignored Schwarz’s attempts to stop him, leaving the scene.

Whether Father trusted me or simply believed that as the victim in this situation, I should be allowed to handle it as I saw fit was unclear. Nevertheless, his departure was convenient as it spared me from having to explain my future actions.

“Now, Schwarz.”

“P-Please, spare my life!”

Did Olivia realize the position her actions put her father in, causing him to kneel before me, pleading with someone much younger? If she did, she wouldn’t have let things escalate this far.

Even if they wanted to break off the engagement, there were better ways to handle it…

In a way, this was her comeuppance for failing as a parent. It was her own doing, but witnessing a grown man beg with tears and snot was truly painful.
