Walk a little from the dorm and get into the Ardis family carriage. I thought Alisa and I were alone this time, but we already had a client on board.
"I've been waiting for you, Lilia"
"Welcome back, is that okay?
My brother and Ray were there. Lilia froze with her legs on, eventually zeroing her grin and lowering back.
"Alisa, I'm gonna walk you home."
"Huh? Oh, you shouldn't, Master Lilia! I know how you feel!
"I know, what do you mean?
"Huh!? No, you know, um..."
I panicked so pathetically that Alisa watched me ask my brother. Lilia laughs bitterly, joking, and rides the carriage. I sat face to face with my brother and said in 'Smile'.
"What are you doing here? Brother."
"Ma, wait, Lilia! I was never mean......!
"Oh, yeah! I'd rather miss Lilia alone..."
"Ray?"
Point your gaze at Ray. Ray let his cheeks pull,
"Cross invited me!
I sold my partner without hesitation.
"Hey!"
"It's a fact! Definitely true!
Two people making a scene in front of Lilia. Lilia had heard it for a while, but eventually sighed and signaled to your table. The carriage starts to run slowly. Still, the two of them are noisy.
- Sakura. Please tell me something interesting until you two settle down.
- I mean, ignore it? Yeah. Fine. Then......
Lilia listens to Sakura's lecture. The two of you don't realize how Lilia is doing like that. In the chaotic air, Alisa was alone, looking like she was about to cry as she held down her stomach area.
I heard from two people who finally regained their composure, and it seems that Ray, who could only make time for one day, why he originally asked Cross to stay at the Ardis family. I don't think Ray is the cause if you ask him just that, but he says it's Cross's idea to board Lilia's carriage. If you asked me why, there was nothing in particular.
- Hey, Sakura. Can I be angry with you?
- How are you? I'm sure I missed Lilia soon. Sister, you're my brother!
- It won't be possible.
- Er... Yeah, well, yeah. Right.
For some reason Sakura's words feel like a stick read, but she decides not to care and turns her gaze to Ray. Ray pulled his cheeks and stretched his spine.
"How can you be so busy this time when you always seem free?
To Lilia's inquiry, Ray was stuck in words. He was wandering his gaze as hard to answer, but sighed as Lilia gave up staring.
"Eh...... In the meantime, is that what happened when Lilia was called to the castle?
When I tilt my neck without knowing what it means, my brother says with a troubled smile.
"Only some really knew that the third prince of Krabiles was coming to this country. That's when Ray's identity spread. Now I get invitations like every day."
"You can say no to invitations."
"I'm pretty much saying no. Still, I couldn't turn down invitations from the Dukes and some Marquis, and when I filled my plans with them, my vacation would crumble beautifully."
I see, Lilia nodded. Lilia says no to invitations she doesn't want to go to, but I guess many times she still won't be able to say no, given her position and relationship. Lilia might have more of those things if she graduated from school, too.
"Trouble."
"Yeah. It's mostly belly searching. You don't have to worry about that when you talk to Lilia, it's easy."
That's what I said, Ray laughs in the light. Lilia sighed, yes.
"I mean, you're insulting me, right? Well understood."
"Huh? No, I'm not! Because it's not!"
Hearing Ray's voice, Lilia turns her gaze to the view outside. Ray seemed to be screaming something for a while, but eventually he drooped over and shut up. My brother slaps that shoulder gently. Why does a man's friendship seem to be budding anyway?
"Just kidding."
So briefly, Ray leaked a soothing exhale.
As Lilia entered the mansion, the servants in a sloppy line bowed their heads simultaneously.
"Welcome home, Miss Liliane!
To greet her loud voice, Lilia frowned and looked back at her brother. My brother had a very good smile and watched how Lilia was doing.
"Is this your brother?
"Hmm? What are you talking about?
Slightly, mischievously, my brother is laughing. Lilia sighed as small as she gave up. How can my own family do things that don't make sense?
Lilia turns her gaze back on the servants. Everyone smiled bitterly and watched Lilia.
"Get back to work. Because you can ignore all your brother's orders today. I'll allow it."
"Huh. That's too bad, Lilia. I'm better in this hall..."
The servants go back to their respective jobs. No one, no exception, everyone left the spot.
"Huh?"
Behind his brother, who leaks a dumb voice, Ray is letting his mouth press and tremble. Perhaps my brother gave instructions to welcome Lilia. The servants obeyed Lilia's instructions because they became what followed. My brother doesn't realize it and remains stunned.
"Brother. You're not impressed with using busy people for crap."
Send a cold glance to my brother. My brother slipped his gaze slightly, and quickly fell apart.
"Be careful..."
Lilia nodded contentedly when she saw how it was, leaving her brother intact and taking Alisa right outside the mansion. I'm going outside, and I'm leaving the flower bed to Theo on my way. Most of all, I don't expect anything to be blooming because it's getting completely cold.
In the flower bed was the figure of Theo and the other, the figure of the maid. The maid talks about something and Theo listens with a nod to it and writes something down on a small piece of paper. I approached him softly because I was just a little concerned and glanced at him from behind Theo. Spring flowers and how to grow them were written.
"Which one do you plant?
As Lilia spoke from behind, Theo was surprised enough to jump up. I looked back like I was in a panic, and my expression immediately glowed.
"Sister! Welcome home!
Theo hugs me happily. Lilia stroked that head as gently as she could, even as she seemed troublesome.
"Yeah. I'm home, Theo. You're not planting anything now?
"Ah...... I thought I'd plant it, but everyone said I should be ready for spring..."
Lilia grinned bitterly at Theo, who seemed just a little sorry. It's a flower bed that I leave to Theo. You don't have to worry about Lilia and the others.
"Alisa doesn't have any flowers or anything she wants you to plant in the spring?
Speaking to Alisa, who refrains right behind her, Alisa shows a slightly troubled bare gesture, then opens her mouth. Theo hastily wrote down the names of the flowers that would be lined up.
- That's discipline. I can't believe you're still taking care of the flowerbed.
- Really. Honestly, I don't care anymore.
- No, you can't. At least give him a proper compliment.
Lilia nodded and smiled at Theo.
"It's always bad. I'm counting on it when I come back next year on vacation."
"Ah...... Yes! I'll take care of it!
That's what I said, Teo slapping his chest. Lilia smiled and nodded, and Alisa and the maid watched with a smile.
