"This is it. Master Rayford. Welcome aboard."
Soon after entering the mansion, my father greeted the three of them. Ray rather than the three of you, I guess? Ray, who saw my father, was tilting his neck.
"Um... Could you have heard anything from the castle...?
"Yeah. I thought I was listening. I can't find Lady Rayford. It's a fuss."
"Ya, after all, is...? Sorry......"
"I'd like you to tell the castle people that. We're making room available for now, so please rest there."
Ray, unfortunately, walked away guided by the maids in a courageous manner.
"Well, Lilia"
After Ray walked away, my father turned to Lilia. He has a difficult look on his face and also looks confused somewhere.
"You know Master Rayford, right?
When I nodded to my father's question, he put his hand on his chin and began to think about something. I was wondering what the hell was going on, and my father said as he glanced at Lilia's complexion.
"Lady Rayford said she wanted to visit the Duke of Aldis house as she did every day to the maid who was appreciated. I'm here to see Lilia, you can see."
"I guess so. He said he was free on vacation."
"Hmm...... Right..."
My father seemed to have been thinking about something ever since, but he returned acne without saying anything more. He walks away with a bump and talking to himself. I get a little anxious about the hindsight for some reason, but I don't think you can answer me if I ask.
"I'm going to talk to my father. Let's break it up here."
"Yes, I understand."
My brother immediately ran after my father. Lilia, left alone, sighed small and returned to her room.
My father and brother didn't eat together for dinner that day. It's very rare for a father who always eats with his family when he's home. Maybe the two of us went somewhere because Ray didn't even look like him.
- Do you care?
- Right. I'm curious if your father won't say anything extra.
- Haha. That way?
After all, I never saw my fathers again after that.
the next day. Entering the dining room with Tina,
"Ah, good morning, Mr. Lilia"
Ray was on the table. Coming at Lilia with a smiling smile.
"It's nice to meet you over there, isn't it? This is Ray. Nice to meet you."
Stand from your seat and bow your head to Tina. Tina also lowered her head in a panic.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Tina Breija."
"Lilia's friend at the Baron's, right? The Duke of Ardis tells me."
Tingling, Lilia's eyebrows moved. Look around the room looking for my father. He doesn't seem to be in this room yet, but he'll be in soon.
"Hmm? That's fast. Good morning."
My brother came in first. That reminds me that this brother went after my father yesterday, too. That would mean I was with Ray. Staring at my brother, you noticed that, uh, sounded pointless.
"I didn't say anything from me. Father."
"What's wrong with me..."
My father comes in following my brother. When Lilia glanced at my father, the words became butt shrugged. And turn around. Turn right. Try to get out of the room,
"Father. Where are you going?
My brother was grabbing that arm.
"Yes, no, remember the emergency..."
"Well, Father. Do you hate talking to me so much? It's sad."
"Oh, that's not... no, is it?
Lilia softly lays her own hand over my father's. Lilia smiled at her father for stopping the movement.
"I'd love to know what you told me yesterday."
"Ugh...! Wow, okay..."
My father dropped his shoulder powerless.
I heard before I started breakfast that my father told Ray about Lilia's friend staying and a little bit of Lilia's childhood story, let's just say. There is something a little embarrassing about talking about my childhood, but it won't be a reason for my father to try to escape Lilia.
I mean, there's still something I haven't told Lilia?
I thought I'd ask, but my mother and Theo also came into the dining room, so I was interrupted.
Before breakfast, Ray introduced himself to everyone on the spot. The servants could also be trusted, so they named their real names and revealed their identities. My mother was almost unresponsive when she moved her eyebrows only slightly to say just that, but it was time for Tina and Theo to look wide open and honestly put their surprises on her face.
"So what exactly do you want?"
When Lilia asked looking at Ray sitting next to her, Ray said with a smile.
"I'm here to see Mr. Lilia."
"Because I understand that. What's the real purpose?
"No, so to Mr. Lilia..."
"I'm gonna be mad at you."
"Yeah, yeah..."
Lilia staring half-eyed and Ray pulling her cheeks. Next to Lilia on the other side, Tina looked at the situation, opened her eyes just a little, and laughed bitterly for some reason. That was the same for the whole family except Theo. Though only Theo leaned his neck properly.
"No, uh, yeah. I need to talk to the Duke of Ardis for a second. It's about the country, in secret."
"Oh, yeah. I wish I could say that from the beginning."
And back to breakfast. Ray sighed, but didn't notice that.
When I finished my breakfast, my father opened his mouth.
"Lilia, I'd like to ask you one thing."
Lilia frowns and looks at her father. My father has a serious look, but is it because of his mind that his mouth angle is only slightly lifted?
"What kind of man does Lilia like?
"Is...?
I don't understand what they asked me for a moment, and I open my mouth dumbfoundly. If you look closely at my father, he still looks like he's laughing. I want to think it's my fault.
- That's straight! Lilia, I care too! Tell me!
It sounds like a pleasure to ask you. Seems useless to ask for help. If you notice, everyone in the room was staring at Lilia.
