Tina lowered her brow butt like she was in trouble when she received the letter Lilia had returned.

"I'm a little worried. I don't know what to do."

You can do whatever you want, I just thought, and Lilia uttered something that bothered her.

"Tina. Have you heard from His Highness and Chris?

"I guess you mean the engagement. I didn't ask you directly."

Again, Lilia nodded. It was the night club at the end of the year that the engagement of the two was officially announced. Given the time it takes for information to reach Count Lester's territory, where Tina lives, it is something Tina would not have known otherwise. I guess it's a tea party to explain directly to Tina. I guess you don't have to go when you think about it that way, but the prince himself might want to explain it.

"Tina. I'll go with you, so join us"

"Mmm...... Okay, if Lilia says so."

Tina nods even as she seems anxious. Somehow, I feel like I'm in a sarcastic position right now.

- You just have to think of my hard work.

- That's fun, this.

- Uh. Fair enough. Lilia than that. When are you due for the tea party?

Drop your gaze on your letter again. It said here that a dorm maid would pick you up in Lilia's room after school tomorrow. Seems the same if Tina checks it out. It also said that when I can't participate, I want you to tell them at that time.

- I wonder what Tina would have done if she hadn't been able to participate.

- I guess you decided you'd talk to Lilia. I was wondering if Lilia would have encouraged me to join her if she'd heard what was going on.

- You feel like you've been dancing with your hands. I knew I should have told you not to go.

- Stop it.

I shrug my shoulders small and look back at Tina. Tina looked at this one strangely. Cough up, say.

"Anyway, leave your plans open tomorrow"

"Yeah. Okay."

Lilia nodded contentedly too when she saw Tina snort.

The next day. After a brief greeting in the classroom, go straight into class. Lilia only took it in the morning, as usual, and went back to her room in the afternoon. I kept waiting as I chatted with Sakura, and when the class was a little over, the door was knocked.

"Dear Lilia,"

Alisa calls Lilia's name. That's it. Understanding who came, Lilia stood up. Going to the door, there stood a young maid who looked familiar somewhere.

"Your Royal Highness has offered to show you Liliane."

"Then it's quick, but can you give me some guidance?

"I'm in awe"

My maid greets me with respect and starts walking. Lilia soon followed suit.

The place they brought me is an unpopular classroom. There are no signs of people around, but slight noises are being heard from inside the classroom. As soon as the maid knocked, the door opened.

"I've been waiting for you. Please come this way."

Encouraged, enter the classroom. Almost all the desks were cleaned up in the corners of the room, leaving only four in the center of the room. A prince and Chris were sitting in the back seat, and the two men who acknowledged Lilia's appearance stood up.

"You're here, Liliane. I'm sorry to call you."

"No. Never mind. You're talking about an example, right?

When Lilia heard, the prince nodded with a serious look.

"I will be present, but I will do nothing more. Are you sure?

"Whatever. I'm not leaving it to anyone. Liliane is just sitting there..."

Before the Prince's words ended, the door was knocked. The prince gets stuck in words and his cheeks pull slightly. When Lilia and Chris saw the prince, they took a small, deep breath and hid the look on his face.

"Your Highness, this is Tina."

"Oh. Let it pass."

The prince and Chris sat down, and Lilia also sat urged by the prince. And then the door opens, and Tina comes in. Tina lowered her brow butt slightly anxiously when she saw the prince, but she sighed a small relief, acknowledging Lilia's appearance.

- You seem so nervous.

- It's not normal to call royalty.

The maid guides me and walks me to the table. I stood by the empty seat and opened my mouth.

………… Er... "

I guess the nervousness made her head even white, Tina couldn't say anything, she was turning bright blue. You guessed that, the prince said.

"Prepare some tea. After that, wait outside until I call."

When the maids immediately lined the table with tea and confectionery, they left the room in a courtesy. I suppose the prince had heard in advance that he might have this instruction to observe from that flowing motion. Only four people were left in the room.

"Tina."

The Prince calls on Tina. Tina replied with a small voice, yes.

"We're the only ones here. You don't have to be nervous. Just sit down."

"Yes...... I'm afraid so."

Tina leaked a small exhale and sat next to Lilia. When Lilia and I met each other, I leaked a thin, bitter laugh.

"Well...... What should I say from?"

The prince shrugged small and Tina immediately corrected her posture. Lilia grins bitterly, but stretches her spine in the same way. The prince thought for a moment, and eventually nodded, OK.

"Apologize to both of you first. Perhaps I should visit, given what I'm about to talk about, but Chris stopped me."

Listening to it, Lilia sighed in awe and in her heart. Even the invitation to the tea party was a surprise, but I didn't think you were going to come directly to the room. Turning to Chris for stopping it, Chris was laughing like he was in trouble.

"Then I suggested a tea party, but it became a place like this by keeping it out of people's eyes. I hope you forgive me."

I wonder where you were going to do it, but I won't put it in my mouth. I just remember that Chris was struggling where he wasn't looking.
