Haunted Duke’s Daughter

“Oh, um… Lilia……”

“Oh. What’s wrong?

“… Huh!

Tina breathed and made her expression strong. Lilia tilted her neck and Sakura sighed.

– Lilia, I’m scared of your face. Calm down.

– Oh… I’m sorry.

I wasn’t aware of it, but apparently it was on my face. Lilia took a deep breath this time, and pasted her usual smile.

“Sorry, I just had a few thoughts.”

Apologizing to Tina, Tina still seemed alert, but came into the room in such a way as to fear. I approached Lilia and bowed my head.

“I’m sorry.”

I didn’t expect to be apologized for, and Lilia leaves her mouth half open. As soon as I fixed my expression, I tilted my neck.

“Why are you apologizing?”

“Because…”

“Don’t worry about it.”

Sakura is right, Tina hasn’t done anything wrong. And yet you can’t hit Tina.

“So? What happened after that?

“I just wanted to talk to you. I’m back.”

“Well, you got away with it a lot.”

Not much time has passed since then. I don’t think Theo has cut the story off, so I decide that Tina has been running away from Theo. But Tina shook her head when she smiled bitterly.

“Mr. Cross on the street helped me. Theo, I grabbed your collar and took you somewhere.”

“Your brother?

My brother is tough on Lilia, but Theo has a sweet spot. Because Theo is weak in the family. My father and mother make it somewhat tough on Theo like that, but my brother always feels like he’s spoiling Theo. I didn’t think the brother would be forced to take Theo.

– You must have taken care of me.

– What, your brother? To whom?

– To Lilia.

– That’s impossible.

I laugh with my nose without even imagining it. Sakura says with pleasure, I guess.

– Your father and brother are so clumsy.

To Sakura’s words, Lilia had to lean her neck.

Look at Fumi Tina. I didn’t say anything, I was watching this one. Lilia sighed small, tapping the table with her fingers.

“Shall I study to change my mood? Bring the materials.”

“Oh, yeah! I’ll bring it!

Tina leaves the room immediately. Lilia dropped it off and sighed slowly.

After that, I waited awhile and Tina didn’t come back, and if I went looking for her, she was lost and protected by her maid. Tina, who was being served sweets and tea, looked very uncomfortably small.

Dinner that night had become so sumptuous that I wondered what had happened. I’m frightened that you want to look so good. Tina had her eyes black and white on many of the fine dishes lined up in front of her.

“Never mind, eat.”

My parents told me, I was finally starting to eat.

The next day. After breakfast, Lilia and Tina were studying in Lilia’s room. I am off for a reason, so I will thoroughly study what Tina doesn’t like. Let’s get this over with before Tina gets back to her home, that’s what I thought, and Lilia remembered to say so.

“Tina. How long are you staying?

“Huh…… Should we go home soon?

I get a slightly crying look and ask. Lilia shook her head in a panic.

“That’s not what I meant. I’m just asking because I need to arrange a carriage or something.”

“Ah. Oh well… I don’t know what to do…”

Apparently, he got into it thinking hard. Enjoy wanting to sigh, then ask with your gaze what to do. A little thought, and I said.

“Lilia, the… Will you come to my house?

Is it about the inn? With that said, Lilia hasn’t heard that either.

“Right. Let’s ask your fathers now.”

“Yeah. So, if you can come, I’d like to go with you…”

Does that mean you’re going to stay here until then? Lilia doesn’t have any particular problems, but I don’t know how my fathers will answer.

– You should hear this now, right?

– Yeah. It’s easier to make appointments if you ask early.

“Tina, I’m gonna ask you, just wait a minute.”

“Huh? Oh, but I guess it’s annoying to go now. You know, work…”

“Then I’ll ask you again at night. I’ll be there in the meantime, so from here to here, untie me.”

Pinch the material in front of Tina. Uh, and Tina stopped moving. Put that tina down and Lilia heads to the exit.

“Because if it’s not over by the time I get back, I’ll add more”

“Yes!? Wow, okay! Lilia, take your time!

Tina rushes to start solving the problem. Lilia nodded satisfactorily, gently closing her own door.

– Lilia. I think that’s just a lot… Didn’t you get about ten pages?

– You’ll be fine. It’s just a quick fix.

Still, I do think it might have been too much. I decided to walk slowly to my father’s room.

Knock on the door to my father’s room and wait a minute. When he entered the room, following the voice, he also saw his brother and mother, Theo.

“Oh…… Am I the only one out?

My parents and my brother laughed bitterly when I lowered my brow sadly and asked him that.

“Don’t even say what you don’t think”

“That’s rude. I think so. Earlier in the needle.”

Returning lightly to my father’s words, my brother sighed.
