Haunted Duke’s Daughter

61

Now when I snorted firmly, I nodded satisfied that the prince was convinced too. Let’s go, and I called Ray and I tried to give him back the squeal.

“Oh, wait. Your Highness, can I have just one?”

“Hmm? What?

I stop, I look back.

“I don’t mind my attitude towards me as it is, just refrain from doing so in front of Tina. He’s about to hate me.”

The look on the prince’s face froze. Why do you stare at Lilia? But I’m not going to explain this to Lilia any more. Instead, I’m a little embarrassed to put it into words myself.

– Lilia is adorable.

– Shut up.

Staring silently at each other, Ray, who I saw, put out a helpship for me.

“I wonder if anyone would be angry if a good friend of mine was badly told”

“Friendly……? Oh, well. Speaking of which, you’ve been telling Liliane lately that you’re getting better…”

I nodded as I was convinced, and immediately held my head. Watching quietly without being able to say anything, the prince eventually squeezed out his voice looking very painful.

“I have no choice…… Let me explain to Tina…”

Apparently, that’s what he decided to do. But given Tina’s character, I wouldn’t be convinced by that. I guess the prince is about to suffer because he knows that too. I had no choice, Lilia sighed.

“I was the one who started it. Let me explain it to you. Your Royal Highness will be fine as ever.”

“Oh, yeah? It helps……”

Lilia’s eyes narrow just a little to a prince with a relieved expression of relief. Really, you must like Tina. You know it’s hard given Tina’s identity, but to the extent you still can’t give up.

Then maybe it’s not a bad idea to just help a little.

– What’s the real deal?

– If you make a loan to His Highness, it will be convenient later. A lot.

– That’s Lilia. Belly black.

– Excuse me.

Such a light mouth, Lilia turned her gaze to the prince again.

“Your Highness, if it’s okay with me, let’s cooperate”

“Is…? Tell me what?

“You want to get along with Tina, don’t you?

When Lilia smiled and said so, the prince opened his eyes. Then I look at Lilia in suspicion. While I thought it was rude, Lilia continued pretending not to notice.

“Let’s just ask Tina what she likes and so on. And then, if you’re going out with someone, where do you want to go, etc. If there’s anything else you can do to help me, let’s do it.”

“What’s the purpose?

“No, nothing. I hope you don’t have to.”

The prince put his finger on his chin for a while and was thinking about it. Don’t do anything to rush it, wait. Eventually the prince nodded small and said to Lilia.

“Can you ask?

“Yes. I’m in awe”

As Lilia carefully bowed her head, the prince was only nodding once, a little surprised.

I break up with the princes and walk to my room. Different students along the way felt a more fearful gaze than ever before. I guess the story of interacting with those five is spreading fast. Everyone is turning a frightening glance at me.

However, there were exceptions among them. For some reason, some students send a gaze that is neither respectful nor longing for Lilia. Without knowing what that means, Lilia walks down the hall early enough.

– I wondered what would happen, but you didn’t just work in the wrong direction, you worked in the right direction.

– What do you mean?

– There are more kids out there who support Lilia. Seems like he thinks people who only listen are scared after all, but I guess he somehow figured out who he saw in person. I was trying to help Ray.

Lilia leans her neck and turns to those who feel her gaze. There were three junior classmates, two frozen with their faces blue, one staring at Lilia with glittering eyes.

With that said, I recall. This child is certainly one of the students who came with the prince. Naturally, he’s not a classmate with Lilia. The kid noticed that Lilia was watching him too, and as soon as he broke his face with joy, he rushed over here. The other two reached out to stop him, but without stopping, he came to Lilia’s sight.

“Senior Ardis!

I’m a female student with a blindfold on my face. To the words the female student said, Lilia opened her eyes slightly and then deviated.

– Oh, it’s lit.

– Shut up.

– Because I’ve never been told anything about seniors before. Yeah, yeah.

– Shut up.

– I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a glance of respect! Senior Aldis!

――…………

– Ugh… I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Don’t think of peppers. Don’t eat them. Please!

Sakura’s voice began to panic and Lilia lowered her drinks. See the female students again. I stare at Lilia with eyes that seem to look good with the same noise of sparkle.

“Have we met somewhere?

When Lilia heard, the female student gave her a slightly sad look, but she quickly returned to smiling.

“I was with His Highness earlier. Ray, I went looking for a teacher because you were being harassed. Then I happen to see His Highness. She asked me what it was, so I explained the situation, and she came with me.”

I thought the timing of the Prince’s appearance was too good, but I guess this kid went to get help. From what you said Sakura was fine, maybe you knew this was going to happen. That’s what you think.

– No, I’m not.

Sakura herself, who is nothing else, has denied it.
