"Huh...? Tina?"
When Lilia uttered a confused voice, she heard a sigh of relief from the magic formation. Ray says with a smile.
"I left it with Tina. He said to spread it out on the new year's day and wait. It's a magic team that delivers voices in both directions."
I didn't know there was such a thing. Staring seriously at the magic formation, Tina's voice continues to arrive.
"Eh. I heard about the engagement announcement between Your Highness and Chris today and wondered if Lilia was depressed..."
Lilia laughed unexpectedly at the words. It's called family, it's called royalty, it's called these two, what do you think you are?
"I care too much. I always do."
"Yes...?
"Yeah. Sure."
Tina kept her mouth shut for a while to think, but eventually, okay, she said in a pleasant voice.
"Hey, Lilia. I'll talk to you till the end of your night club."
"Talk? Nothing, what?
"Whatever. Oh! That said, did they eat?
"Yeah, I ate it."
"Nice! I want one too!
Lilia grinned internally at Tina's voice, which seemed impossible and bright enough. I know exactly what you care about Lilia. Now I thought I'd keep it sweet on that.
It's not like I don't have anything to think about those two engagements. Even though I was disappointed, it didn't make any difference that the prince was the first person to fall in love. But still, it's not even Lilia's mouth right now, it's something she should cut herself off.
- Everyone took it. I'm the only one who didn't do anything.
Lilia erupted unexpectedly into a sarcastic grunt. I could see Tina was surprised and Ray turned his eyes round too. Lilia loosened her cheeks as she told the two of them it was nothing.
- What do you care about even Sakura?
- Mm-hmm! I'm still worried about this!
- I know. Sakura is something you've always been with. That's all I need.
Say that to sound as gentle as possible.
- Really?
- Yeah. It's true. I can't thank you enough for Sakura.
I could see Sakura laughing lightly. Sakura says.
- But tell me if anything happens. Because I'll ask you anything.
- Yeah, I'm counting on you.
Returning his gaze to Ray, he stared at Lilia with a surprising frown. I coughed to deceive him and told him I was just thinking a little bit, and that's all Ray was convinced of.
Afterwards, the three of us continued our conversation until my father's reception arrived.
Where the story separated me, my father and the king came into the terrace to see if I was listening somewhere. Lilia blinks her eyes, not expecting to come to the king, and hurries to kneel on the spot. The king waved with laughter.
"Liliane, I don't need it. We're the only ones here. I trust this maid, too."
That's what the king tells me, but still the opponent is the pinnacle of a country. There's no way I can get a cheap attitude. You can see Lilia thinks so, the king grinned bitterly and shrugged his shoulder that he had no choice.
"Liliane, we're going back to the mansion."
Lilia nodded at her father's words and said to Tina, who would be beyond the magic formation.
"Tina, it's time to go back to the mansion."
"Oh, yeah. See you at school, Lilia."
Tina's smile came to mind and Lilia loosened her cheeks naturally. Nod, say.
"Yeah. I'll see you at school."
The last of those words, the light was lost from the magic formation. Ray immediately folds the paper on which the magic formation is drawn. Lilia looked at it with regret, but immediately turned to me and turned to my father.
"Thank you for waiting"
"No, I don't mind. Shall we go, Your Majesty?"
"Uhm."
The two of them walk out and leave the terrace. Lilia also tried to follow suit,
- Oh, I knew the king would leave, too.
Lilia stopped moving. Too natural to notice, but surely my father had said a word that I did not think would be a goodbye greeting to His Majesty. It was like inviting a friend you couldn't care less about.
"Um..."
When Lilia spoke, the Father and the King looked back. Taking the gaze of two, arguably the pinnacle of the country, Lilia just let her pull her cheeks too. Still, I have to say more than I've voiced.
"No way, is His Majesty here too?
"Oh. I attend Aldis' nightclub every year, huh?
A place to eat and drink until morning, but to that extent, I thought it was a small gathering. And yet I didn't know there was a king.
"You don't have to worry about me. If we don't get there soon, the night will dawn."
The king who says so feels softly restless. Lilia sighed small, bowing her head that she was awed.
Back at Ardis' mansion, and where my father took me and showed me, it was underground. In the corner of the mansion, there was a staircase to keep out of sight. It was the first time Lilia knew there was an underground in this mansion in a place that was usually closed with suitable shelves and such.
There was already a large crowd in the basement. Not surprisingly dark, the whole room even looks blurry and glowing. If you look closely, it was the little statue in the back, not the room, that was glowing.
"Does that bother you?
My father says, Lilia nods. Then my father turned into a proud face like a child.
"Inside that statue is a magic formation planted. It's a magic formation that works only once a year, and before and after that effect shows up, it glows."
"What kind of magic works?
"That'll be fun later."
My father smiles ill will see you later, and walks to the back of the room. It was the Duke of Zinnias who was ahead of us. I started making some kind of joke.
Lilia, who was left alone, stood up on the spot for a while.
- Lilia, the rice looks delicious.
Return to me in your voice. Lilia quickly headed to one table, sighing of relief at the sakura of the usual, as she was stunned by the sakura that would say rice even if she came to a place like this.
He receives the plates from the servants who move around and takes the dishes arranged on the table one by one. It's a dish made with ingredients that look fancy to see, and it's all familiar to Lilia.
"Dear Liliane, You wanted it here, too."
Looking back at that voice, Chris stood smiling. On that side is also the figure of a prince. The prince looked worried about Lilia.
"Your Highness. Is there something on my face?
"No...... Nothing. Never mind."
That's what the prince says and shakes his head. Lilia stared at the prince for a while, but eventually turned her gaze back on the dish like she lost interest.
"So, what can I do for you?
Asking Chris, Chris shook his head and denied it.
"I'm relieved as usual"
"Oh. You worried about me?
"Yes."
Lilia was just a little surprised that Chris nodded. I thought I would deny it because I have a lot of eyes. Chris smiles and continues.
"There's only one person here who knows all the circumstances. You don't have to act."
"Oh yeah..."
"Yes, so you can spit it out a lot."
Come on, and Chris opens his hands. Lilia opened her eyes and saw how it was and immediately zeroed her grin. I shrug my shoulders and say.
"Too bad. After Tina already asked me."
"Oh...... You were a foot late. Too bad. Then let's dedicate my fiancée."
Suddenly the prince peeled a little. Chris pushes me on the back and the prince stands in front of Lilia. You don't know what to do, I saw Lilia as the prince pulled his cheek. Lilia, who is being watched, also has to be confused without knowing what it means.
