Saishou no Utsuwa wo Motsu Koyakunin no, Henkyou Nonbiri Slow Life: Shusse Dekizu Sasensareta Hazu ga, Nazeka Mawari kara Tayorare Makutteimasu

Zen Leadon has spent more than a decade serving in the central government, shuffled from one post to the next without ever earning a promotion. His stagnant career has become a source of disappointment for the prestigious Leadon family, and his eldest brother, Yohia, finally decides to demote him to a quiet posting in the countryside. For most people, such a fall from grace would be crushing—but Zen is absolutely thrilled. A leisurely life far from the capital is exactly what he has longed for, and he embraces his new rural assignment with open arms. Yet his good fortune arrives with unexpected strings attached: he is suddenly charged with sheltering the kingdom's princess, whose very life is in danger, and with stepping into the role of her father. To make matters more complicated, the young princess is the fourteen-year-old daughter of Zen's first love. Thrust into a responsibility he never anticipated, Zen must somehow reconcile his dream of a peaceful, slow-paced life with the weighty duty of protecting a child tied to his own past.
