Haunted Duke’s Daughter

63

“Cynthia, you have common people’s clothes, don’t you?

“Huh? Yeah, well… I have…”

Then come to me for the weekend.

Cynthia opened her eyes slightly. Alisa opened her mouth on behalf of Cynthia, who solidified as if she had lost her words.

“Dear Lilia, Does that mean you want Cynthia to escort you?

“You will. What do you think?”

Orders, took the form of, but if Cynthia is anxious, she thinks it doesn’t matter as ever. Even now, we know that the man’s secret agent was on Lilia’s side. That spy apparently could handle the rough stuff too.

Cynthia seemed to think for a while but eventually snorted firmly.

“I’m in awe. We will be with you.”

Cynthia’s face had turned into that of her job. I said hello, wondering why it makes so much difference.

From the next day on, it’s my usual class. Lilia’s behavior will also become the usual. Prince Lilia’s response was the same as before, as declared.

Is Ray the only one who has changed? It wasn’t the way we talked before, it was a relief.

“Lilia was number one in the last exam, wasn’t she?”

One day, teaching Ray to study as usual, he suddenly asked me that. Lilia nodded with a surprising twinkle of an eyebrow, staring at Lilia.

“How are you studying?

It was like exploring something. You just wondered, or was that prince asking you to ask? Either way, I can’t possibly answer that.

Who would believe that evil spirits are teaching them, etc.?

– Lilia, it’s terrible.

– Just kidding.

Now how should I answer? I’ll think about it, but there can’t be a good excuse. I had no choice but to do it in a few words.

“Effort.”

“Huh? Effort?

“Yes. Effort.”

I didn’t say anything wrong. Since then, Lilia has been trying her own best.

Ray laughed and didn’t pursue it any further.

“Then I’ll make an effort too…!

“You’re not in first place already.”

“Let me go over Mr. Lilia!

By the way, Ray is more expensive, so I told him to call it off, but for some reason, he’s been refused a lot. Because it’s easier to call it.

“Yes, I’m looking forward to it.”

Lilia raised her mouth slightly and answered that.

Over the weekend, Tina came to see me the night before study day. I bought it today. Take a box with Dafu.

– Dafu! What a good boy! I want to call you Master Tina!

– You’re cheap.

While smiling bitterly, Tina and I collude while eating Dafu. Sakura sings her nose very happily while eating Dafu. Sakura is comfortable asking if the song is good, so I won’t stop it in particular. Lilia, who is listening, feels a little, but happy too.

When I put Tae Fu in my mouth again, I saw Tina smiling somewhere fun.

“I didn’t know. Lilia likes Dafu.”

“Huh? No, I…”

No, I was just trying to answer. That’s what Tina’s been saying, which would mean she was on the look. It’s harder to delude now.

“Yeah, right. You’re one of the favorite things I’ve ever eaten.”

“It is! Then I’ll bring you Dafu again!

Tina laughs uncontrollably. It just makes me feel a little guilty, but it’s not like I hate it, so I wouldn’t be able to call it a lie.

– No, Lilia, you’re lying!

– Whose fault do you think it is? By and large, whose side are you on?

– Dafu.

– You’re not even a person…

Sigh inside, but not so uncomfortable. I’ve been having a little fun with Sakura lately.

– Ugh. It’s a little embarrassing to think seriously about that… Well, more than that, Lilia, I have to tell you about the prince.

I’ve obviously changed the subject, but Lilia decided to stick with it. I was just wondering if it was time to talk about it.

“Tina. I need to talk to you a little about Your Highness…”

That’s how I’ll also explain to Tina what I talked to the prince. I didn’t think it would be so easy to convince you, but the advice Tina got grumpy.

“I can understand what His Highness is trying to say… I’m not convinced.”

Cute and swollen cheeks, Tina says. As for Lilia, I honestly don’t care because she doesn’t want to be close to the prince anymore, but it was obvious just to see that Tina didn’t think so. I admire that it’s something that often pisses me off about people.

“Tina, at least I don’t think that’s okay. You don’t have to be angry.”

“But…!

Trying to scream something, but Tina nodded without saying anything more and sat back on the chair. Staring at Lilia to the top,

“Is Lilia enough about Her Highness…?

That’s what I’ve been asking.

“Not now. I don’t care about him anymore. What about Tina, who says so?

“I… I’m not sure… I still don’t know how His Highness can make me feel better…”

“I hope you don’t say something about me. I don’t remember making friends with a child who was so despicable.”

“Ugh… Sorry……”

Tina is depressed like she’s sinking. Lilia sighed, pretending to drink tea and hiding her face.

– I wish I hadn’t told you if you were ashamed.

– Leave me alone.
