"I'm not mistaken. I used to be a very bad person."
"I've heard it several times, and I still can't believe it."
Lilia felt just a little fresh with the dubious Ray's eyes. This gaze was directed at me when I was about to change, but the opposite is seldom true.
"It's not a good story to be honest with, but I'll tell you sooner or later"
When Lilia said that, if you feel like it, Ray said with a carefree eye.
"Well, that's enough. I'll study."
"Lilia is always the same at times like this. Yeah, please."
As Lilia glanced half-eyed, Ray rushed to retrieve the material.
After dinner. Should I say as expected, Tina came to visit the room. Welcome in with pleasure and drink the tea prepared by Alisa for two. It's the usual sight.
"Hey, Lilia. Is that rumor true?
To Tina, who has asked without a priori, Lilia smiles thinly and says:
"What does Tina think?
Didn't think she'd be questioned, Tina blinked several times and closed her eyes for a little while to think.
"I wonder if Lilia would be surprised to be there these days."
"Really?"
"Yeah. All I have to do is wish I was. If it's true, I can go out with Lilia."
Tina laughs lightly when she says so. Lilia no longer knew how to answer and slipped her gaze softly.
- What are these two cute creatures? But Tina, Lilia is mine!
- Who's yours? Say your bedtime words after bed.
- Terrible.
Lilia glanced back at Tina and nodded and said.
"It's a rumor, but it's true. Tina's sweets were delicious, so I go buy them myself from time to time."
"Oh, yeah. Maybe it doesn't have to be my fault?
"You don't have to worry about it. 'Cause I'm just going because I want to."
Somehow, but even without the trigger of the confectionery Tina gave me, I feel like I was going any day. By this evil spirit.
- Terrible. But I won't deny it.
After all, Lilia sighs inside. I don't feel bad about it.
"Next time, can we go shopping together?
He asks me upwards as if Tina expects something. And while I laughed bitterly, you know, I answered after putting it between.
"I can't go until I calm down because now my identity is known, but after I calm down, fine. I want to know what Tina recommended."
"Good. Enjoy...... Wait, I recommend it?
"Yeah, that's right. Because I'm hoping."
With a full smile, Tina became stubborn and hardened. I had moved my mouth several times, but it was speechless. When the view was interesting, Tina eventually had the grin that drew her.
"Let it go...!
"Yeah, I hope so."
Clearly, let me highlight my expectations. Tina nodded silently and many times.
- You're raising too many hurdles. Tina's blowing herself up.
- Get out of the way?
- Uh... I'll explain next time.
Lilia nodded inside as she leaned her neck toward the unintelligible word she hadn't heard in a long time.
"That's right!
Tina slaps her hand. Tina said, laughing mischievously at Lilia tilting her neck.
"Because I'll also listen to Ira and Katin's recommendations! And tell me about Lilia!
- This kid got his friends involved plainly. Subtle black. It's Crotina.
- If you really hate it, you won't say it. Although a little unexpected.
I want to think that's all you're forgiving my heart. Lilia smiles and says.
"Okay. I'll think of a recommendation for you, too."
"Ugh, yeah......"
Tina turns away, and if she doesn't hang in there, she whines. Lilia decided not to hear it and put her mouth on the tea laughing with the sawdust inside.
a week. During that time it was the usual routine, as if there had been no rumors or anything. And the morning of the holiday, the door slammed with momentum.
"Oh. Your Highness."
It was the prince who came in through the door that Alisa opened. I'm going to see Lilia with a nervous face somewhere. As Lilia leaned her neck, the prince said in a hard voice.
"Coming soon, from the royal castle"
Lilia glanced, and in the corner of her sight Alisa breathed.
- Suddenly. I thought I'd hear from you in advance.
- There should normally be.
With just a few doubts, he urged the prince to go ahead with his gaze alone, and the prince continued.
"Father's story is that you don't have to be anxious. It's not a call to punish Lilia. It's just that someone told me to explain myself."
"That's a lot sudden"
"I think so, too. Talking about possibilities, maybe someone is trying to sharpen the power of the Duke of Aldis family on this occasion"
When the prince said that much, he sighed small. That face is something to worry about. The prince sighed heavily and said.
"What do you mean, the Duke of Ardis himself won't shut up? You won't have to bother beating a tiger's, no dragon..."
Apparently, the Prince is not worried about Lilia, but is anxious to make Lilia's father angry with the Duke of Ardis. Lilia couldn't resist for a moment and lowered her head gently.
"I'm sure of it."
"If you've guessed, give me a mouthful. Tell the Duke of Ardis to stay still."
"Oh. Can you give me time to see your father?
"No, I guess..."
The prince sighed not knowing how many times it would be. I just feel a little sympathetic. I know if I can see my father, I can work with him as Lilia, but if I can't see him, I can't.
The door was knocked and the prince returned to me all the time. Alisa heads to the door in the face of tension. After a short conversation, I turned back to Lilia.
"Dear Lilia, I'm from the royal castle. He said he wouldn't mind a uniform, so he wanted me to come with him."
Lilia and the prince frowned. I thought it was an official call, but apparently it's not. It's not supposed to matter if it's a uniform.
"Alisa, let me through."
Alisa nods and opens the door. A few women entered and breathed when they saw the prince. The prince shook his head, smiling bitterly, at the women who panicked and bowed their heads on one knee.
"You should do your duty more than you do about me. But I'm coming with you."
I don't know if it was on schedule, but the women responded with no particular surprise and awe.
