Haunted Duke’s Daughter

How long has it been? Shoulder shaken, Lilia opened her eyes. He was asleep at some point. Looking next door, Sakura was smiling bitterly.

"Lilia, it's a customer again."

…………

"Don't even look so grumpy. It's Chris, by the way."

I wonder why. I have a slight bad feeling about it. Lilia throws her gaze at Alisa, who stands by the door, as she flaunts her face. When she nodded and showed her, Alisa greeted her respectfully. Sakura returns to Lilia in a quick move.

Alisa opens the door and invites Chris in. Guided by Alisa, Chris sat across from Lilia.

"I'm sorry, Master Liliane. I suddenly pushed it..."

"I'm free, that's fine. What can I do for you?"

"I need to talk to you..."

- Bullshit, you too.

- Who is it?

- Never mind.

Lilia sighed and sat back on the chair. Chris looks anxiously up at Lilia to see if that seemed like a grumpy behavior. Lilia waved small and said.

"Let's hear it."

"Thank you. Actually, it's about His Highness..."

Again, Lilia is about to hold her head. Why come and talk to me on the same day. These two. Is it harassment of myself? It just sounds cursory. It's unpleasant.

- Let's find Lilia a good person, too. You can get married!

- I'm seriously gonna get mad at you...?

- Why!? Scary! I'm really scared! I'm sorry!

I sighed inside and regained consciousness to Chris.

"What does Your Highness think of me?"

"Something bothered you, too?

"No, that's right...... It's not that I'm avoided, but I've been feeling a little cold lately. As far as I know His Highness liked Tina, I still wonder if you dislike me..."

- Though they say it's cold.

- Mm-hmm... Maybe he doesn't know how to deal with it anymore. So, you're being a little cold, or something.

I see, Lilia nodded. When I told Chris as he was, I got annoyed with the difficult look on his face. I'm wondering what's wrong, Chris says.

"Is that because I still care about Mr. Tina? Is it difficult for me to turn His Highness around...?

- Oh, my God!

- Here.

embarrassed, but I still agree. I want you to do it on your own. Don't get yourself involved. But Chris and I have known each other a long time. I don't even think about kicking Chris out of trouble.

"Have you asked His Highness?

"I can't ask. I don't feel like I can get back on my feet if they say I'm not interested in you."

"Yes..."

I'm going to know how that feels. The day the prince broke his engagement, Lilia had nothing but despair, too. That won't be that far, but it won't change the hard part.

- Mmm... I wonder if it will be a romantic consultation. I'm not sure.

- Well, it's a sarcasm.

- I wonder what that means.

But if Lilia was asked if she had any romantic experience, she was just having one thought and nothing else. Even considering how Chris feels, it doesn't leave the realm of imagination. I don't think I can give Chris as much advice as he expects.

But that is if there is a chance of rejection. If I recall the prince I visited earlier, I don't think I need to worry so much. At least, because the prince is trying to think about Chris. If Chris can be brave, it's okay, I think.

"Chris."

When Lilia called out her name, Chris took a small breath. Don't you have to be nervous, are you so scared of yourself? Lilia coughed and said with a serious look.

"I understand your anxiety, but I'm sure you'll be fine. Talk to me for once. It shouldn't be bad."

"What makes you think that?"

"Believe me as I look at you both."

Saying so with confidence, Chris opened his eyes only slightly. It's like seeing something incredible. Sure, things Lilia might not trust about these stories. It makes me a little sad when I say it myself.

That's what I thought, but Chris smiled small.

"I'll believe Lilia."

In a small voice, Chris said in a vegan tone.

"Yes...... Well, I'm here for you. Good luck."

"Yes. Mind if I ask you what you really mean?

"If something happens, the powder will come down on me. I hope you don't get me involved."

"Hehe. I'm awed."

To be honest, Chris smiled with pleasure. Okay, and get up. Lilia also stood up and opened her mouth as she was just a little lost.

"Because it's true that I'm there for you. I wouldn't be able to give you much advice, but if you're stupid, I'll ask you."

"Thank you. Please do."

That's how the two of us smile. I walked to the door and looked back before opening it.

"Sakura, please don't tell His Highness."

"That's exactly what I'm not gonna do."

Fluffy and Sakura appear. He was swelling his cheeks when he said he was out of heart next to Lilia.

"Good luck, 'cause I'm here for you, too"

"Thank you. Bye."

With all due respect, Chris left the room. After the door is completely closed, Lilia sits back on the chair. That face, Sakura sat in the seat where Chris had sat until earlier.

"Why are you two here to talk abruptly?"

Lilia snaps, Sakura laughs.

"So that's how much you trust me."

"You don't know what that means... Oh, yeah. Sakura, I need a favor."

"Hmm? What?

Tell Sakura what you asked for. Sakura was very surprised to hear that, but eventually lifted her mouth angle for fun. I'm just a little relieved that they didn't object. The only person I can ask for this is Sakura.

"Copy that, fine. But I didn't expect Lilia to ask me to do that."

"Well, it's a whim. I'll explain more after dinner."

"Aisa"

Sakura starts singing her nose in a good mood. Lilia closed her eyes softly as she listened to Sakura's nose, even though she didn't think it would be something to look forward to.
