"Welcome home, Master Lilia"
As Lilia entered the room, the maid who was in the room bowed her head respectfully. Lilia saw how it was and gave her a rare and tender smile.
"Yeah. I'm home, Alisa. Long time no see."
Alisa, with her face up, had her eyes round. While wondering what's going on, give finger directions behind your back. Then the maids of the mansion came into the room with their luggage.
"Ma'am, which way should I take this doll?"
Looking back at that voice, there was a maid with a big stuffed animal. Lilia accidentally pulled her cheeks, and with that said it was there, she whined in a small voice.
"Huh?"
"It's nothing. Right...... Can you put it on the bed first? I'll ask Alisa later."
"I'm in awe"
The instructed maid carries the stuffed animal to bed. Alisa looked at the stuffed animal with interest.
"Are you worried about that stuffed animal?
When Lilia asks, Alisa says, even though she seems a little spicy.
"Yes...... Well, is it surprising that Lilia returns with a stuffed animal..."
"Right. I think so, too. I'm a girl, too."
- Huh?
――…………
- Wait, it's a joke! I'm scared!
I sigh when Lilia does. You interpreted that sigh as fatigue, and Alisa pulled the chair. I have no reason to say no, so when I sit at that chair, they prepare tea as soon as possible. A flowing trick. Sip of the tea served and Lilia took a breather.
"Dear Lilia, May I ask what happened?"
To Alisa's voice, Lilia breathed, but soon made a smile.
"What is it about?
"You don't have to hide it. Something must have happened in Count Lester's territory. Tina doesn't seem to be with you."
"Nothing. We're not always together."
"Perhaps so. But if you look at it, you'll see. This is still a special maid of honor for Lilia."
Somewhere proudly says Alisa. Lilia got a little happy that she thought so, and her mouth angle just went up a little bit.
- I guess that means you're looking closely at Lilia. We have to take care of it.
- I know.
I don't need to be sarcastic, I'm not going to let Alisa go. But if Alisa herself had changed her mind, she wouldn't be talking about it.
"Dear Lilia,"
to Alisa's voice. Lilia pretended to think a little,
"I'll talk to you when I'm done carrying my stuff."
I glanced all around me. Several maids are unpacking. Alisa nodded quickly, bowing her head that she was awed.
After the cleanup was over and the maids all left the room, Lilia told Alisa as she omitted everything. About Tina, too, everything.
After that, there was nothing in particular, and he even returned to the main residence of Ardis. I've had several conversations with Tina, too, but I haven't been able to talk like I've done before. The two of them were falling apart. I wish I could at least talk to myself naturally.
After hearing it, Alisa had a difficult look on her face somewhere and kept her mouth shut. With that said, I recall. I was wondering if Alisa was also from the Baron family, a lower nobility.
"I'm disappointed."
Alisa shook her head immediately when she heard it trembling inside but without giving it to her expression.
"I was surprised, but not even disappointed. Lilia didn't do anything wrong."
While I say that, I just keep saying that.
"I also know how Tina feels. Tina, in particular, won't be familiar with the previous Lilia. Listening to Lilia and others, apparently, because among Tina, she has a very high appreciation for Lilia. Seems like you're looking at me before and I'm a little embarrassed"
I see, trying to drink tea while convinced that
- Previously on me?
- What...?
I stopped moving to Sakura's strange voice.
"Alisa. Looks like you're looking at me before, is that...?
"It stays that way. I think of Lilia as a very sweet person, and I'm actually a disappointed person to meet her."
"Really?
"Yes. Oh, of course I'm not thinking that right now! We are proud to be Lilia's maid of honor!
That's what Alisa says as she panicked, but it doesn't come into Lilia's ear.
I used to hear some pretty harsh words from Alisa when I heard her previous ratings, but I didn't think she was even disappointed. But I'm sure it's not surprising that Alisa was disappointed because at the time she also seemed to value Lilia highly as a benefactor to her life.
"Um, right. Dear Lilia,"
Alisa calls me, Lilia looks up. Alisa was looking straight at Lilia.
"Now I respect Master Lilia. It's not easy for you to admit your inaction and try to change."
"Oh, yeah? Thanks."
I feel so ashamed when they tell me that. The effect of Sakura is so great, both for the reason that it tried to change and for the future that it is about to change, but I am glad that you are seeing it this way.
- Because I only said the direction. Because it's Lilia who's hanging in there. Confident.
To Sakura's words, Lilia nodded small.
