Haunted Duke’s Daughter

Get it back? By who? Whose heart?

A smiling mask fell off Lilia. Your eyes will sit still and you won't be able to hide your grump. The other two immediately noticed it and blued their expression, but the one they were talking about didn't notice at all.

"Let's get that seat back from Master Kristel right away. It's okay, we'll help you with a slight force, too. Don't worry, Master Liliane..."

"Shut up."

It was a small, and low voice. A small sound to the extent that it should be heard by one in front of you. One of the people I was talking to whispered a short scream and stopped the words. On the contrary, the whole classroom is quieting down. But Lilia didn't give a damn, she uttered words.

"I say it again...... I have no intention of engaging with Your Highness in the future. I hope you don't do anything extra with out-of-target guesses. Or do you want to piss me off?

It's time for the three of them to shake their heads with momentum. I'm shaking so bad I feel sorry for you, but Lilia doesn't notice. Even if I realize it, I'm not going to stop.

"Then shut that loud mouth. All right?

Three people shake their heads vertically over and over again. Lilia, who saw it, nodded satisfactorily, OK.

- Scary. Scary, Lilia.

- What is it? I said it politely, didn't I?

- Sure, it was just words! I'm scared, my eyes! I feel like I'm killing you!

- It must be your fault.

Sigh small and raise your gaze. The three of them were still standing in front of Lilia. I'm upset that I'm sorry, but I'm not going to leave. When Lilia shrugged her eyebrows in surprise, one of the people she had talked to earlier lowered her head deeply.

"Dear Liliane, Sorry, sir."

"Nothing's fine. Be careful from now on."

"Yes......"

That's how I lift my head and finally head away from Lilia to my seat. Sakura's voice echoed in his head as Lilia watched behind it.

- Lilia. Those three. No, not just the three of us.

- What is it?

- Well, yeah. I mean the people around me. Be careful.

Lilia frowned and Sakura continued.

- Because those just want Lilia's power as a duke house. Not if we're friends or something. No, well, some good people. Be friends with someone who will see Lilia properly.

Suddenly I wondered what to say, but apparently Sakura is worried about Lilia. Lilia grinned inside and nodded knowingly.

- I'm just not sure I can tell honestly... Don't you know Sakura?

- Hmm...... My knowledge is also vague about the surrounding people. You should rely on someone else.

- Who do you rely on?

- Someone above Lilia's room.

Lilia's cheek pulled slightly. I've never heard of that. Who and for what purpose? Sakura told me to be nothing when I was swallowing raw spit without knowing it.

- Sounds like someone who was at Lilia's mansion, so maybe your father or brother put it on with an escort or something? He's a very good hider of signs, so I think he can gather information.

- ……………. Oh, yes…….

It was just inside me. Why did you do that in silence when those two wouldn't have to hide it from Lilia either? Lilia sighed as she pressed her temples to get a headache.

- Okay. Let's ask you when we get back.

- Yeah. There must be three of them, so it should be okay to lose one or two of them!

Were there three of them? Lilia only held her head this time.

It was morning time, and the prince came into the classroom. And right after that, a teacher comes in. It makes me feel like I was accompanying him, but the prince always insisted that it was just a coincidence. I suspect there are such coincidences every day.

The reason the prince comes during the morning ceremony is simple, anti-lilia. They avoid that because if they come early, they can also talk troublesome to deal with them from Lilia. I got a little depressed when I heard that from Sakura. The fact that we continue to do that today doesn't seem to have Lilia's words believed the other day.

Teachers will stand in front of the table and inform them of any contact matters. But Lilia didn't hear anything about it. In my head, Sakura's lecture, which I called leisure time, continues.

Today's Sakura lecture was about science. It's quite interesting to be explained on the grounds of what I've taken for granted up to now. If I realized, the teacher's story was over, and classes had started at some point.

- Oh, I'm sorry. Class. Then I'll shut up, good luck.

- It was a pretty good place... You don't have a choice.

Will this continue at night? With a little shame, I do my gaze to the teacher. The first class is arithmetic. Listening to the teacher's explanation for a while, Lilia frowned.

What is this, I think? I said it's my first class in two weeks, and I was wondering if you're still having this problem. Lilia sighed in her heart at that explanation, which was too boring.

- Sakura. I'm not sure I can stay awake.

- Hmm...... Continue?

I guess Sakura felt the same thing as Lilia, she didn't blame Lilia for what she said. You know, Lilia grinned and nodded small.

Then for a while, the teacher's one-sided story, the explanation, continues. I used to nominate someone from time to time, but fortunately it didn't hit Lilia.

And when I realized, it was noon. Teachers should have been switched for each class, but Lilia hadn't noticed at all. Everyone was about to leave the classroom if they looked around at what was getting noisy. Because of that and my hunger, I think it's noon. I was just listening to Sakura, and the morning was over.

"Dear Liliane! Would you like to join us!

The three surrounding men came to Lilia this morning and said so. Lilia looked at them with frigid eyes, and shook her head. To the three of you who are surprised, say.

"I'm sorry. I feel like being alone today. It's because of me, but it's okay with me, the three of you."

With that said, right, we left the classroom convinced ourselves. I don't know what convinced me, but it was convenient for me to be alone, so it's a good idea.

- Sakura. I'd like to ask you one thing.

- Yeah. What is it?

- I... the... Going to the dining room over there alone is a problem...?
