Haunted Duke’s Daughter

"Hih..."

Alisa screams briefly and glances at Sakura as Lilia blames her. Sakura immediately hid her face, sorry.

"Hey, Lilia."

"What?"

"I'm going to this country for a bit. It's gonna be all right."

"Stop."

While I say that, I know exactly how you feel about Sakura. Lilia turned to Alisa and told her what the Spirit had said as it stood. The look on Alisa's face gets worse as soon as possible.

"Alisa. Tell Her Royal Highness as it is. And that Sakura is angry. Because I think you'll officially protest."

"I'm in awe"

Alisa respectfully leaves the room. After dropping it off, Lilia took the man's painting to the corner of her desk. And look at the second one.

"It still happened!?

"I still have it."

The second one is also a dude with a nice face. Unlike the earlier ones, there is also a gentle atmosphere somewhere. Before Lilia could say anything, Sakura had asked the dwarf spirit about this man.

"Someone like a chunk of patriotism. It doesn't just mean he's hard headed, but he's admired by people in the country. My personality is warm, and I was really angry about when my brother opposed going to study in the country next door."

Apparently, this one is a decent manly one. So Lilia nodded. This one has no prior information or mistakes.

"Something I've heard somewhere about studying in a neighboring country."

Sakura tilted her neck and Lilia answered immediately.

"It must be about Ray. Because this man seems to be the second prince of Krabiles."

"Heh? Krabiles'...? Wow..."

Sakura's voice was a mixture of sympathy somewhere. I look at Sakura wondering. I wondered if you were thinking strange again, but apparently you were right, and Sakura quickly turned away. From what I've heard, I don't think you're going to answer me this time. Lilia shrugged her shoulders and said nothing more.

"What are we going to do with this fringe?

You don't know what it's like not to see each other in person.

I would not otherwise have the right to choose Lilia, but I should say thanks to Sakura, I can refuse even if the King or Father wants to proceed. You won't have a problem meeting in person and giving an answer. Maybe I can just thank this noisy best friend for that.

Most of all, I don't think the King and Father would be so bad at each other.

"What do you think of Sakura?

Talk to Sakura. Sakura shook her head, not knowing, even as she gave a difficult look.

"Because of this, and why don't you talk to Ray? I'm a brother, and I might be able to talk to you a lot."

"So is that. Tomorrow, let's hear it soon."

That's what I said, nodding a few times.

Next to that Lilia, Lilia didn't realize until the end that Sakura was pitying something while looking somewhere far away.

The following day at noon. As Ray studied as usual in a private room in the library, the door was knocked and Lilia came in. When Ray smiles and greets him, Lilia smiles and greets him back thinly, too. This short exchange, Ray liked it.

"Ray. I need to ask you something."

"What?"

It's unusual for Lilia to ask Ray something. I'm going to do whatever I can, and I'm going to ride myself out a little bit.

"What's your older brother like?

I found myself feeling shriveled at once. I force myself to make a smile as I slightly pull my cheeks.

"Eh...... Why do you care about that?

"I need to talk to you."

"To? Of what?

"Edge talk"

"Whose?

Me and your brother.

Now it's time for Ray to be stunned. I sat back on the chair, remembered Lilia's words firmly, and dropped deeply. I didn't think you had enemies in you. Sure, Ray's family wouldn't know about Ray's one-sided thoughts on Lilia in the first place, etc., but that doesn't matter to Ray. Again, for Ray, it's an enemy.

Lilia seemed to have a little trouble reacting because Ray suddenly lost his energy. But it will always be because Ray doesn't look up, that look gets a little harsher.

"Ray. You're not going to answer that?

To Lilia's low voice, Ray rushed up.

"Yes! Yes!

Then tell me.

Tell me, the truth is that even if you tell me, I'm going to be in trouble. My brother is a brilliant man who can do a lot, but he is also not brilliant at something special. You can say that, but to that extent, even Lilia should be able to find out easily.

What Lilia would like to hear is what people look like from Ray. That's how he interpreted it, and Ray opened his mouth.

"Someone nice to everyone, I guess. People help is like a hobby. I can get out of the castle and talk to the city people casually. I think there's a lot of people out there."

"Yes."

So satisfied, Lilia has nodded several times. It just makes me a little nervous, but I didn't even want to lie here.

"You talk a lot honestly. Even though I'm going to be a lover."

When were you there, there was Sakura next to Ray. Surprised inside, Ray nods and answers.

"I don't think I'm going to call people bad, flesh parents. I'll turn it around myself."

When Ray said so, Sakura laughed happily as she opened her eyes to a little surprise. Then no, I'll head next to Lilia.

"What are you talking about?"

"It's too early for kids like Lilia"

"Nice work, huh?

"Sorry!"

Lilia clasps both cheeks of Sakura and Sakura slaps Lilia's arm with tears. It also looks like we're having a fight, but I guess it's the usual thing because you can tell we're both not serious. They're better friends than rumors. Just a little bit, I envy you.

"Ray. Don't worry about what Sakura says. 'Cause this kid hasn't thought about it."

"Terrible!"

Ray watched as he grinned at the two soothing people.
