"Loupie."
"Daddy!"
The moment Clementine steps his foot inside their mansion, the little girl carefully gets down the sofa and runs towards him. The Duke easily carries his daughter in his arms and he was rewarded with Penelope's kisses on his cheeks. After that, the little girl giggles in delight and hugs his neck.
"Loupie misses you a lot, daddy!"
"Hmm. I also miss my little princess."
"Daddy, why did you go home late?"
"...I'm just a little busy with work."
In truth, Clementine stayed in the Royal Palace longer than he expected because of King Galia's mistake. Not only he messed up a single document. Even the files of their initial plans for the next six months were full of mistakes because the King doesn't even know how to comprehend the words written on them! If he's not thinking about their kingdom, Clementine will definitely slap his resignation letter on that old bearded man's face.
