Haunted Duke’s Daughter

"Brother. How far did you talk to him?

"Hmm? I just invited you to come to Krabiles. Waiting for a reply"

Ray breathes briefly. But soon, I looked straight at Lucas.

"Brother. May I have a word with Master Liliane?"

"Hmm. Fine."

That's what I say and nod to Eagle Deep Fried. Sounds great, the prince whispered and was stunned by Chris' even smaller voice that you would say.

Ray turns back to Lilia. Am I to blame for looking a little nervous? On a tighter look than usual, Lilia also stands up and looks at Ray.

"Lilia"

Ray calls his name. Lilia says nothing and waits for it to continue. And

………… Sorry, wait a minute. "

Ray missed his gaze. The prince or Lucas sighs as if they were frightened, and Ray stares at them both. I took a small, deep breath and turned to Lilia again.

"Lilia!

"You don't have to call me twice. Just say it."

"Ah, yes. Excuse me. I like it! Stay with me!

There is no rhetoric or anything, and Ray bows his head when he clearly tells him so. Taking that, Lilia nodded and said.

"I don't want to."

"Huh..."

Ray clouds his face sadly. Princes and Chris seem a little surprised too, but what are you so surprised about?

"Hmm? Lilia, why?

Suddenly, as usual, Sakura appeared. Lucas and the others open their eyes, but ignore it, Lilia says.

"I was going to tell His Royal Highness Lucas."

"Yeah? Why the guy? Oh, fine. Go on."

"I'm not leaving this country. I can't even think about dowry in another country."

Whatever it was before, I don't think I'm going to leave this country now. I owe you something that hasn't been returned. The family, of course, is bothering the king about Sakura. I don't think I'm going to daughter-in-law to another country, saying yes goodbye, more than I'm aware of that.

Besides, above all. I have many friends here, starting with Tina. It's still lonely that I won't see you again.

"Right. I'm sorry, but I can't help it."

Lucas shrugged his shoulders and Lilia bowed her head.

"My apologies, my lord Lucas"

"No, no, you don't have to worry about it. By the way, Grand Spirit, let's talk..."

"I categorically refuse!

"Don't say that! This is a treat from my country. It's boring, though."

"You don't have a choice, just a little bit, do you?

How about the Great Spirit, who is flexed with one confection? I glanced at Sakura and frowned.

Sakura exchanged words with Lucas, but her gaze was toward a different one. To Ray.

"Lilia"

Ray's voice. Leaning her neck, Lilia looks at Ray.

"You don't have to come to Krabiles,"

"What? What are you trying to say?

"I'm coming to this country. As son-in-law adopted by Ardis."

Lilia stalls, ooh, and Sakura relaxes her cheeks for fun. Prince and Chris anticipated or unresponsive, and Lucas narrowed his eyes funny. But Lucas immediately hid his expression and looked to Ray.

"Rayford. Are you serious about that?

It was a low, but often passing voice. Ray gets stuck in words and squeals his throat small. But Ray didn't do anything to escape Lucas' gaze, and he nodded.

"Yes, of course."

"Right."

Besides, they didn't say a word. Two people staring at each other silently. It's such an atmosphere that I think it's instant. Everyone drinks solitary and watches over the two of them. I did that for a while, but eventually Lucas softened his expression.

"What about my brother?

"Do as you please,"

"Right. If my brother didn't stop me, I wouldn't have anything to say."

Lucas nodded satisfactorily, taking his seat. Prince and Chris follow suit.

"Ray, I'll give you the time I was getting from Lilia."

With that said, Lucas nods at the prince and leaves the room. Chris followed it, and the frightened maids rushed after it. I don't know if I should suddenly decide to do that, but maybe the prince or Chris didn't say anything, so he was preparing himself for the separate room. I don't know what it was supposed to be.

"Lilia"

Called to see Ray. Ray stared at this one,

"I can come here."

"Sounds like it. But let me get this straight, I haven't really thought about Ray yet."

Ray smiled knowingly at the words.

"So let me turn Lilia around. Never."

"Yes...... Well, good luck with that. Don't expect me to. I'll wait." "

Tell him so, and Lilia will just head to the door. Regardless of the library, I'm embarrassed to be alone here. But Sakura is here. I wonder if that's why all the princes went outside, too.

Leave the room and close the door. Exhale slowly,

"You're not being honest. My face is burning... I'm here!

Lilia walks as she strengthens herself with a scratchy face that begins to say extra things. Thin, smile.

"So, how do I get home? Sakura, you know?

"Because I understand! I'll show you! Get your hands off me! I want to be there!"

"No"

"Terrible!"

that night. In the room where Lucas was staying, Ray sat opposite Lucas. To report what happened right after Lucas left. Even when it came to reporting, it was over in less than a minute.

"I mean, just declare, dissolve," he said?

"Ugh, yeah......"

"Pity though my brother...... I'm very anxious right now, brother."

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

Lucas sighed loudly,

"Ready? When I..."

They kept asking me about my experience late at night.

It was Sakura who finished his conversation with Lucas and waited for Ray to return to his dorm room. I feel intimidated to stare at this one silently. As Ray was pulling his cheeks, Sakura immediately smiled bitterly.

"Well, for now, your thoughts have been conveyed."

"Yes. Finally. We need to hang in there..."

Sakura nodded again and again to the words Ray said as he nodded and indicated his consent.

"Good luck with that. No one will come from your country anymore, but there will still be contact from other countries."

When I heard that, Ray became a mysterious face. Sakura is right, there will still be talk of friendship from other countries. Maybe, just like Ray, some people will make the decision to abandon the country. No, it will definitely come out.

"I'll work with you in a little bit. Good luck with that."

Yes, and when Ray replied firmly, Sakura laughed satisfactorily and disappeared. Take a breath and sit on the chair. Exactly because of everything, I am quite tired.

Starting tomorrow, I have to hang in there.

I don't think it will be a bit difficult to meet each other in the future, but I can't relax.

Ray closed his eyes quietly as he pondered the plan from tomorrow.
