Haunted Duke’s Daughter

Memory of S5 Alisa (Part I)

The Baron Phyllis family is a merchant whose father made his fortune in just one generation. There were many things to deal with, and young Alisa didn't know what was selling. However, my father looked very good doing business. I had no doubt that I would inherit my father's trail because I was the only child in this house.

Alisa didn't go to school with the intent of her family, but she was followed by an excellent tutor that my father seemed to know. Some teachers may have been better than school teachers. That would be why they put tutors on, not schools.

Alisa was proud to say she was brilliant. Especially when it comes to magic, I have learned to be interested myself, and I have learned a number of demonic squares more than teachers.

Girl greedily seeking knowledge to inherit her father's trail. Parents who expect the girl. Everything was going well, no problem as it was, and everyone thought it was something Alisa would inherit.

Until that day.

One day, my parents were to head to Wang Capital for a business meeting. Listening to it, Alisa rarely said all about me to her parents. He wants to go, too. The parents were to make their way to the King's Capital together, promising to the best of my rare beloved daughter, My Lady.

For Alisa, who is still young, the Wang Capital is the only special place. That's why I was so happy when I decided I could go to Wang Capital, albeit in combination with business talks.

"Look, Alisa,"

The words my father has told Alisa many times in his carriage to the King's Capital.

"There are more mansions in the King's capital than in the town we live in. Part of it belongs to senior aristocrats. If you're wrong, don't get involved with them. When a senior nobleman is against me, I can't protect Alisa either."

Alisa has also already been taught what a senior nobleman is like. If you touch their inverse scales, you won't be able to leave the King's Capital alive. Regardless, there will be some meaning to the threat to tell young Alisa, but you can't take it lightly because some people are actually out of news.

"Yes, I will not enter a mansion I do not know"

"Yeah. I know Alisa would be fine."

My father was smiling, but he seemed very worried.

And my father's worries were allayed.

Alisa, happy with the word that she could go to a nearby store while her parents were in business, walked around Wang Capital by herself. My father would have thought that Alisa would undoubtedly never leave, but Alisa, excited about her first king's capital, didn't realize that at some point she'd gone so far away that she didn't even know the way. By the time I realized it, I didn't know how to get home.

Still, Alisa walked around the king's capital all by herself saying her father couldn't be bothered.

"Oh, young lady, that's a very nice dress. A noble child, I presume?

A man in a carriage spoke to me in one place. The carriage was stamped with a royal crest, so it would be something the royal family would be involved in. When Alisa nodded honestly, the man nodded, saying yes or no,

"You're lost. Uncle will send you."

That's how the man drove the carriage with Alisa.

in a section inhabited by senior aristocrats.

The man, you'll see from here, dropped the girl, went home with care, and left.

"Here, where..."

Alisa lacked calm. It's already too late to realize that, and it's a more unfamiliar place than it was earlier. You can't even tell the way home. Again, I started wandering to find someone in the carriage.

Thus Alisa, who walked for a long time, reached in front of a large mansion.

"Wow..."

It was a bigger mansion than I've ever seen. The vast garden also has flower beds where you can see a wide variety of flowers. Some flowers I saw for the first time, and I went into that garden as if I could flutter and attract them.

I walk around the garden excited about the flowers I see for the first time, the big mansion, and stuff like that. Eventually, Alisa reached the front of the mansion and finally returned to me.

I wonder what I'm doing on someone else's property. I might still have made it back when I thought so. But Alisa entered the mansion with such anticipation that the doors of the mansion were open and that there might be people in the immediate vicinity.

Immediately after that.

"What are you doing?

In a low voice, Alisa flaunted herself. Looking back, a man in armor stood. In that hand there is a sword, albeit contained in a sheath. Unexpectedly, I bumped into something. If you look back in a hurry, you'll see another man there, too.

"Did you come in knowing this was the mansion of the Duke of Aldis house?

When I heard about the Duke of Ardis house, Alisa's head turned white. Among the top nobles, it is undoubtedly the highest noble. It's where I shouldn't have been involved. My head is getting cold rapidly. I wonder what I've been up to.

Intimidation enough to even feel like killing from the two opposing men. Just standing there and finally.

Later on, I heard that these two men were actually on their way without knowing what to do. I'm a soldier who has recently come to work here, but if I report to the Duke or the Royal Family, the girl is guilty of entering the Duke's mansion without permission. I don't know what kind of intermediary there is. This world, it could even lose its life. I have to leave this place to hide everything and find Alisa's family. In that case, two men are held accountable for relinquishing their duties. They couldn't do anything because of it.

Alisa also realized that she was in a position not to know when she would lose her life right now, but was unable to move because of her fear. I can't complain about being killed here any more than I've been in a high-ranking noble mansion.

No one can get physical. But it didn't last long.

"What are you doing?"

A girl appeared from behind the mansion.

She was a very beautiful girl. A girl who seems her age, wearing a luxurious dress. Alisa would get nervous not to get dirty if she wanted to wear a dress like that, but this girl looked like she was wearing it everyday. As a matter of fact, it was very different for a girl from her usual clothes.

"Lady!"

Man's words. Apparently, this girl is a courtier at the Duke of Aldis' house. But I couldn't think of anything else.

"I'm asking you what you're doing"

When the girl narrowed her eyes and said, the two men corrected their posture as they panicked.

"The unfamiliar have entered the mansion and are about to be caught."

The girl's brow moves slightly. The girl's eyes caught Alisa's. Take that gaze that even remembers the cold, but Alisa didn't turn a blind eye. More than fear.

You have beautiful eyes.

Though I thought so.

"You think you're suspicious of a secret detective or an intermediate or something like that?

Two men agreed to the girl's inquiry. The girl's eyes narrowed in disgust.

That's why I'm trying to kill you.

Two men stopped moving slightly, but still nodded clearly. The girl who saw it sighed loudly.

"Pity."

A girl walks over here.

"Are you going to scratch the name of the Duke of Aldis' house for being scared to death of such a child?

A girl stood in front of Alisa. I looked into Alisa's eyes and squealed her nose.

"You don't have to worry. I'll send you back. Call your father now."

The second half is a word directed at a man. The man inside the mansion ran like he was in a panic.

Not so long ago, two different men appeared. They're both muscularly fit. One of them said to the man behind Alisa.

"Don't bother Master Kelvin with this kind of thing. Intruders always say slaughter."

Alisa blues her face, and the girl,

"Heh...?

He had a very, very low voice. Everyone on the spot accidentally froze, but the girl never said anything more.

In that short exchange, I guess I somehow guessed what happened on this occasion. A man, presumably the Duke himself, said bitterly.

"Well, I don't think I'm going to kill the girl I want. So, Lilia. What do you want?

The girl questioned looks straight at the Duke and says:

"I just need to kick you out of the mansion, I thought, but I changed my mind. I'll take you to your family."

Everyone seemed surprised by this. It's like seeing something incredible.

This is something I heard later, too, but he couldn't believe Lilia was trying to move for Alisa at the time. However, it was denied in the immediate aftermath.

"If you take your eyes off me, someone here might kill you. It would only discredit the name of Ardis, such as being afraid of such a girl and putting it in his hands."

The duke nodded. The face looked like a lot of fun.

"All right, all right. Then I'll come with you as Lilia's escort."

"Master Kelvin!?

The man next door makes a sad scream. Naturally, I've never heard of the Duke himself providing escorts for my daughter. It should rather be in a position to be escorted. But the Duke put his hand on the shoulder of the man next door with a mean smile.

"Are you even complaining about something?

"No......"

Somehow, but I think you're going to be struggling. But it's not what I can say when I get lost here.

Not so long after that, Alisa left the mansion with the girl and the Duke.
