"If there's any movement, I'll tell you too. Is that all right?
Lilia accidentally opened her eyes to the prince's words. I narrow my eyes and say with a strange twinkle of an eyebrow.
"Your Highness. What do you want in return?
"You...! No, you're not. My previous attitude?"
When Lilia was surprised unexpectedly by the words the prince muttered in his small voice, the prince smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Never mind. I don't want anything in return."
After that, when the prince stood up, he said that was it and walked to the door. Chris went after him, and in no time the two of them were gone.
"What was that?"
Lilia shrugged unexpectedly and Sakura laughed with pleasure.
- I wonder if this will also affect Lilia about to change.
- What? What do you mean?
- It's nothing.
Unlike Lilia, Sakura seems to be guessing something. Lilia knew nothing, no matter how much she thought, and sighed and gave up.
The next morning. When I finished breakfast and relaxed in my room, the door knocked. Soon Alisa turned to the door and opened her eyes wide for some reason.
"Um, Dear Lilia..."
"Who's here?
Sir, sir.
"Huh...? Your father?
I was hoping it would come sooner or later on one of yesterday's cases, but it's just too soon. I wonder what happened to my job, but that's not why I'm pushing it back. Lilia stood up and headed to the door herself.
Slowly open the door even as you are just a little more alert. My father was there for sure.
"Oh, Lilia. Long time no see. You look good."
"Yes. Your father seems fine and above all. What are you doing here?
"I've come to see how you are."
Lilia blinked her eyes at the words of her father, who said what was normal. From the look on my father's face, he's really worried about Lilia. That surprises me so much.
"Do you mind if I let you in?
"Oh...... Yes. Go ahead."
As Lilia stepped back, my father entered the room. The other one that follows it. Yesterday, I was a maid who spoke up on the south side. The maid is getting annoyed with a pale look. Lilia frowned suspiciously and looked at her father.
"Father. This is yesterday's maid, right?
"Oh. Right."
That's what my father says, pushing the maid's back. As the maid stood forward with a tense face, she bowed her head deeply to Lilia.
"Yesterday, I'm sorry…"
Lilia slowly narrowed her eyes when she heard that. You can appreciate the will to apologize. But.
"Do you understand what went wrong with you?
When Lilia asked, the maid was annoyed without being able to say anything. Lilia sighs and heads to her usual table.
"And your father, please."
"Oh. Sorry."
As if there had been no earlier exchange, my father walked with Lilia and sat face to face. Alisa prepares tea immediately and puts it in front of the two of them. My father thanked me and took a quick sip of tea.
"Mm-hmm. It's still delicious. I guess it was a failure to give way to Lilia."
"I won't give it back. It's my maid."
"I know. So don't stare."
My father waves with a bitter smile. I hope so, but Lilia nodded, exhaling just a little annoyingly, and threw her gaze at the maid earlier.
"Sit down, too. Alisa. Give this kid some tea, too."
"Huh..."
Rarely did Alisa utter a very unpleasant voice. When Lilia looked back to Alisa in surprise, she excused herself as if she had returned to me immediately.
"We'll be ready in a minute"
Alisa is faceless, but looks somewhat unintentional. Most of all, Alisa has something to think about because the cause of this commotion is her opponent. I do my job well except for the first word, so I decided not to ask.
"Looks like we're building trust. Above all."
My father says with a laugh of fun. Lilia turned away from her father and heard the words.
"Well, Lilia is telling me to sit down. Sit down."
A maid commanded by her father trembles and takes her seat as she is told. In front of the maid, Alisa offered her tea.
"Drink. I'm gonna calm down."
Lilia urges me, and the maid puts her mouth on tea. I slowly took the time to drink it and eventually exhaled small. Seeing it, Lilia smiled contentedly and turned to her father.
"Father. What can I do for you?
"I told you earlier. I'm just here to see how you're doing."
Lilia glances half-eyed at the words of her smiling father. When my father smiled bitterly, he shrugged his shoulder.
"Well, I have business to attend to."
"So? Can I ask you something?
"Oh. It was yesterday, but no one is particularly noisy. I said something. I did."
My father smiles ill-willed. I guess I was doing something back there. It bothers me, but I can only flush it out because I feel caught up when I ask.
"However, there are still people who want to know why. Probably, but there will be a call from the royal castle nearby"
- Is this coming?
- Haha. I think the real deal is this way, too. Well, from your father's point of view, I guess I'd be happier to see Lilia.
- Yeah, that's annoying.
- No, I'll be happy for you.
Turning a cold glance at my father, my father slipped his gaze slightly and coughed in a deceptive manner. Tell them to fix it.
"Don't worry, it's not the place to blame Lilia. I don't mind if you come easy."
"Oh. Really? I'm relieved."
When Lilia said in "Smile," my father narrowed his eyes and smiled bitterly. You care too much, take a seat and head to the door. Where my father put his hand on the door, the maid rushed after him, too.
"Lilia. Tell me if you need anything. Don't be shy."
My father looked back and said so before he opened the door. Confirming Lilia nodded, my father left Lilia's room this time.
