Haunted Duke’s Daughter

188

That night. Lilia had been summoned to a dark world. In front of the cherry tree, Lilia and Sakura sit opposite each other.

“Lilia. Tomorrow is the exam, but…”

Lilia nodded at Sakura’s voice. It was a short month in retrospect. In the end I also feel like the usual month. I’ve done almost nothing special.

“Promise day will be three days from now. What shall we do in two days?”

“No, what about the exam?

“You’re done in the morning. Or do you think Sakura will take time?

“Uh…… I don’t think so.”

Yes, Lilia said, Sakura smiled bitterly. Keep silent with each other, strange silences flow. For some reason, I felt just a little awkward.

“Have you ever left anything to do?

Lilia gave a little thought to the question, and nodded.

“Enough is enough. I can replace you right now, okay?

“Not at all.”

Lilia shrugged her shoulder, sadly, to Sakura’s immediate response. With that said, I say what I remember.

“Is Sakura okay with studying this world? Whatever the arithmetic or whatever, history or magic?

“History is with nature when it comes this way. I’ve learned more or less about magic. Where do you think the healing magic team you used for Tina is?

“Huh? Isn’t that the magic formation Sakura made?

To Lilia’s answer, Sakura smiled bitterly and shook her head. That seems to be the magic formation we got from something in this world. I don’t get to see the magic team much, so I’m sure Lilia would remember if she was watching it with me.

“It’s from the material Alisa used to teach me. That’s the last page.”

With that said, Lilia also remembers. The material I was using when I was teaching Alisa magic. There were many magic formations painted on that one. Apparently it was one of those magic formations.

“Maybe you remembered just seeing it once?

“Yeah. Can I compliment you?

“Right. I honestly admire you.”

When Lilia was looking at it, it was a reference that there were some of these magic formations. I didn’t think Sakura would remember it in one go. Thinking about it, this girl’s memory may be one of Lilia’s best known.

“Mostly because I remember. You’ll be fine with your magic class.”

“Right. Don’t worry about it.”

So the conversation broke off, and Lilia sighed small. I would still like to talk to Sakura, but even if I want to talk about this, I can’t put it into words.

“Lilia. It’s time for bed. If you fail the exam, you’ll regret it, won’t you?

Lilia nodded at Sakura’s suggestion. Tomorrow is the last exam for Lilia. I want to take first place at the end and replace Sakura with satisfaction. We still have two days, so we won’t even have to rush to talk.

“Sakura. See you tomorrow.”

“Yeah. See you tomorrow”

Waving to Sakura, Lilia fell asleep.

The next day. When Lilia headed to the classroom, rarely there was already a look of a prince. I’m sitting across from Chris and spreading the material. He was talking to Chris about something with a serious look on his face.

Good morning, Your Highness.

Learn to be interested and say hello to the prince. The prince opened his eyes to his surprise and immediately erased his expression.

“Sometimes it’s unusual for His Highness to study in the classroom.”

It’s like making fun of me, but it’s just for real. Anyway during class, I see it for the first time in any other time. I guess the prince also knows Lilia just meant it, shrugging her shoulders with a bitter smile.

“I study as much as I do. And.”

The prince stares at Lilia. It’s not malicious, it’s challenging eyes.

“This time, let me win”

In order to beat Lilia, they decided to study until just before. Nice try, I think, while Lilia narrowed her eyes. Prince and Chris pull their cheeks together, but Lilia goes on without worrying.

“Sorry, we can’t just lose this time”

Prince and Chris frown in surprise. Lilia said nothing more and headed to her seat. The Sairas aren’t even coming together today. They are also studying in their seats.

Lilia sits on the chair and closes her eyes quietly. Slowly, you increase your concentration. I still don’t expect to lose to Prince or Chris, but I forbid to be alarmed. All the best, crush.

– I’m scared.

Until then, Sakura, who had kept her mouth shut so as not to interfere with Lilia’s concentration, said that briefly and with a bitter smile.

As before, Lilia finished the exam the earliest. Deposit the answer with the teacher and leave the classroom to escape from the sight of someone who said something. He exhaled slowly and turned to his room.

– Well, what shall we do?

I don’t have any plans after this. Just wait for tomorrow’s answer back. Lilia’s mind was strangely calm, even though the time left was small.

– Because of that, and why don’t you invite Alisa and Cynthia to relax?

– Right. That would be nice, too.

It’s not a bad idea to spend the rest of your time with those two. Lilia nodded at Sakura’s suggestion.

Fun times pass in an instant.

Talk to Alisa and Cynthia as they drink Alisa’s tea in their own room. About the old days and about the present. When the previous Lilia topic comes up, I feel so embarrassed. Anyway, back then, I can tell you now. I was really stupid, he said.

“But I can respect Lilia now.”

I’m very happy with those words between the two of you, but I feel sorry for you, considering what lies ahead. Soon, I’ll never see either of these two again. Just a little bit when I think about it, I miss you.

– Lilia……

– It’s okay.

Alisa also carried me to my room for dinner that day, and the three of us blossomed into memorabilia.
