T/L: This is my first full translation (since it’s short). Those who have more comprehension in j.a.panese and wished to translate it, feel free to do so. I used this omake/spin-off of DD as my translation training. Here you go ^^

これから少しずつアップします。
AN: I will upload it bit by bit

「あの、お母様」
[Excuse me, Mother]

「ん？なあに、アイリスちゃん」
[N? What's wrong, Iris-chan?]

「お母様って、お父様の何処を好きになられたんですか？」
[Mother, which part of Father do you fell in love with?]

「まあ…そんなの、全部よ全部。だって、旦那様ほど魅力的な方はいらっしゃらないじゃない」
[Oh my…that is, everything. Well, that's because no one else is as excellent as my darling husband]

「お父様は確かに仕事ができる、素敵な殿方だと思いますよ？そうではなくてですね、馴れ初めみたいなのを聞きたいな…と。何でもお母様、小さな頃からお父様の事が好きで好きで仕方がないという感じだったと王太后様から聞きましたから」
[It's true that Father is excellent at work, I think he's a gentleman too, you know? But that's not what I'm asking about; I thought…I could hear how you both fell in love. Because you see, I heard from the Queen Dowager that you always looked like you were smitten by Father since childhood]

「あら、王太后様ったら。恥ずかしいわね」
[Oh my, Queen Dowager…. I'm embarra.s.sed now]

「で、実際のところどうだったんです？」
[And, in actuality, how did it go?]

「うーん……内緒。お父様とお母様の秘密」
[U~n… It's a secret. It's your Father and Mother's secret]

「ええ…気になりますわ」
[Eeh….Now I'm bothered about it]

「…奥様、旦那様がお帰りになられました」
[…Madam, The lord has returned]

「まあ、旦那様が？すぐにお迎えしなければ」
[Oh my, my husband is? I need to welcome him back then]

「………セバス」
[………..Sebas]

「はい、何でしょうか」
[Yes, What is it?]

「わざと？」
[Did you do it on purpose?]

「そのような恐れ多いことは、致しません」
[Such a dreadful thing it is, I haven't done it]

「そう……ああ、気になりますわ。お父様は筆頭公爵の嫡男で、将来宰相位につく優良物件だったと思うけど…お母様なら選り取り見取りだったと思うのよね。王家に嫁ぐことだってできたと思うもの」
[I see….Ah, Now I'm wondering about it. Father is the eldest son of the Head of Aristocracy, a future Prime Minister is an excellent a.s.set or so I thought…if it's Mother she could easily breeze through it right? Even though, she could also marry into the royal family is what anyone would think of.]

「奥様は王家に嫁ぐべきだったと？」
[Are you implying that the Madam should marry into the Royal Family?]

「そうではないわ。お母様がお父様と結婚してくださったから私は産まれた訳ですし。でも、やっぱり同じ女性として、気になるものなのよ！」
[I didn't say that. It's thanks to Father and Mother's marriage that I could be born. But, as a fellow female, I'm wondering about it!]

「左様でございますか」
[I agreed]

「今度お父様に聞いてみようかしら…」
[I wonder if I should ask Father next time…]

T/L: Okay. That’s it….If you have any corrections for this translations, feel free to tell me about it. Since I’m not really confident with my j.a.panese comprehension ability for literature things (v.v) See you next chapter =D
