Haunted Duke’s Daughter

192

Tina was standing up in front of Lilia’s room. I didn’t knock or anything. I’m just worried about what to do, I’m here all the time.

A month ago. After the exam, Lilia suddenly got stuck in a dorm room. Whoever calls will not try to see you. Even if the family visits, they don’t talk to each other directly. The exception is only Alisa and Cynthia, and as far as I hear from the two of them how it goes, Lilia seems to be thinking of something in a way that comes to mind.

Since then, I’ve been visiting like every day, but Lilia still won’t see me. I want to help at a time like this, but I can’t even give you that opportunity. That’s very, very bad.

“Ah…”

The door in front of her opened and Alisa turned up. You expected Tina to be there, and without any particular surprise, you’re going to look pale and bow your head. Tina also lowered her head in a panic.

“Um… Tomorrow, an exam at the end of the semester…… Is Lilia…?

Alisa smiled small at Tina. It’s the first Alisa smile I’ve seen since Lilia locked herself in. Surprised I’m rounding my eyes, Alisa said.

“They say you can take the exam. So I’m going to the classroom tomorrow.”

“Really!? Good……”

I don’t know what you’re worried about, but apparently the answer came in Lilia. Then maybe you’ll see me, too. That’s what I thought.

“But just take the test. Let’s do it.”

So you’re not going to talk to anyone? As she dropped her shoulders and sighed, Alisa seemed to laugh bitterly.

“Dear Tina. This way, please.”

That’s what I’m saying, Alisa’s giving me the envelope. When I received it with my neck tilted, Alisa said.

“This is an invitation from Master Lilia. After school two days later. It doesn’t matter when Tina comes back.”

“Huh? I mean, will you see me…?

“Yes, it seems so. What’s your response?

“Of course I’m going! I will definitely go! I don’t care about class. I’m going!

“After class, please.”

Alisa laughs bitterly, then returns to her room. Tina drops it off and then goes back to her room. Lilia finally sees me. I’m so glad about that.

Aware of nature and loose cheeks, Tina went down the stairs in a good mood.

“Is Liliane coming?

Exam day. To the Prince’s question, Chris replied, what do you think? That’s what Chris wants to hear. Chris also tries to visit Lilia’s room in earnest, but he hasn’t even met her once. He says the prince is visiting the room, but he’s still paying the same upfront. I’m not making a scene because of my previous burdens or disrespect.

Eventually, as the teacher entered the classroom and the exam was about to begin, the door to the classroom opened.

“… Huh!

Lilia comes into the classroom. I haven’t seen Lilia in a long time. She’s no different than before. I just have a very sharp eye. He seems so grumpy that he’s never seen it before, and if he stares at it now, even Chris might get away with it.

“Ri, Liliane?

The prince speaks up. I would like to commend the prince for his courage in being able to speak to Lilia today. At least Chris can’t do it.

“Oh, Your Highness. Good morning. I’m sorry to hear you’ve been visiting us so often.”

“No…… I don’t mind. Um, what…”

“I’m sorry. Because I just came to take the exam. Talk to you later.”

“Oh well. No, I get it. Yeah. I have no choice.”

The Prince’s face is bright blue. I just feel a little sympathetic. When I looked at Lilia, I looked at her. Lilia smiles small at Chris and heads to her seat. It was a grieving smile somewhere.

“Uh…… Okay, here we go.”

The teacher says it very spicy. No one responded, but the teacher started handing out paper as an acknowledgement of it.

“Welcome back, Master Lilia”

Alisa bows her head respectfully with Cynthia as she returns from the exam. Lilia smiled and nodded at the two of them and said.

“It was so easy. Alisa, tea, please.”

“I’m in awe”

Prepare tea immediately to meet Lilia’s request. At the same time, Cynthia prepared sweets and arranged them on the table. Alisa also serves tea immediately. Lilia exhaled slowly as she put it in her mouth one bite at a time.

“It’s delicious. Thanks.”

“No……”

A month ago. It’s a real surprise when our Lord was crying in the bedroom with his wretched face. That’s when Lilia abandoned herself saying she didn’t want to see anyone for a while and locked herself in her bedroom. Alisa and Cynthia would be allowed to go in if they spoke, but not to anyone else, even if they were family.

All the detectives on the ceiling have been returned to the mansion, except for Cynthia. This was Lilia’s order, and even if he tried to remain silent, he didn’t go through with Lilia, and went back very hard to avoid buying an unhappiness.

Since then, there have been only three people in this room: Alisa and Cynthia, and their Lord, Lilia. I was often asked what Lilia was doing, but I was not sure because Alisa and Cynthia rarely entered the bedroom where Lilia was either. I just understand that I’ve been thinking of something. Whatever you asked, it was a strain to leave me alone.

“Alisa.”

Lilia called me, and Alisa returned to me all the time. Immediately replying, Lilia looked at this one worryingly.

“Are you okay? Are you tired? Though you know I’m sorry.”

“No! That’s not true at all! So say anything!

Lilia laughs joyfully and says she counts on you. Lilia accidentally turned true when she thought not to laugh a lot today. Look at Alisa and Cynthia in turn and say:

“Though I called Tina tomorrow”

“Yes.”

“You should also be present at that seat. This is an order.”

Surprisingly, I nod with Cynthia. Lilia smiled contentedly and went back to her bedroom.

“I wonder what…”

Cynthia says anxiously, but Alisa also doesn’t have a clear answer or anything. Alisa also quickly switched her mind with a little anxiety.

“Let’s just get ready for tomorrow”

“Right.”

When they nodded at each other, they split up and started preparing for tomorrow.
