"Alice......"
It was Alice who came up the stairs late. She turns her harsh gaze to Leon and stands to shelter Silvi.
"Alice, back off."
"I won't leave."
Leon roughed up his voice, but Alice didn't retreat.
"Dear Leon. If Master Leon is going to trouble your daughter any more, I will tell her about the situation from me to her husband. Are you sure?
"... it"
"The lady won't say anything to her husband because she's kind. But I'm not. I am the exclusive maid of the lady. I'll do anything to protect your daughter."
For a moment, Silvi looked like a spark scattered between them.
We just have to give in to each other. But it was Leon who broke it first.
"... ok. I'm leaving today."
"Thank you"
"If it's because you're an exclusive maid, protect your sister from that man, too.... you got it."
That's what he said, and Leon left for his room without waiting to hear back. Follow it with a gaze, and Silvi is caught nagging. Alice rushed over when she saw it.
"Hey! Are you okay?
To Alice, who changes her blood phase and peeks into Silvi, she said with a weeping laugh.
"It's okay. I'm just a little out of my mind... Alice, thank you for coming."
"... because it's good. In the meantime, let's go back to your room."
"Yes."
Ask Alice to lend me her shoulder and go back to her room. I locked the door and when I sat on the couch I finally felt comfortable.
"... hey"
"What?"
Slowly looking up, Alice, with a serious face, was staring at Silvi.
"... talk, I heard you a little bit, you, Leon served you an ecstasy, didn't you? Isn't that because of that tea that Leon ordered me to take?
"Huh...! It is"
Stuck in words. I guess I guessed it with that attitude. Alice looked bitter.
"I brought you tea and I was back to work.... It was a little noisy not long ago that you weren't here. But at about the same time, Arthur's use came and explained the situation to me, so I didn't have to come. He said he's keeping you sick. I'm seeing a good medic right now. Don't worry, I'll return it to the Mansion as soon as the procedure is over... Everyone seemed relieved, but soon I realized it was because of the tea I carried. Because Leon's face when I heard the story, it was so distorted. I thought I'd done something to Silvi. And in time, I'm sure the tea I brought caused it... and honestly, I didn't care until you got back."
"But that's not Alice's fault."
"That's not what I want to hear. Don't cloud it. Tell me the truth."
Alice's expression said she didn't want you to make fun of her. Seeing it, Sylvie nods cocklessly as she leans down.
"... yeah. Alice is right. That tea had ecstasy in it. That's why I ran away. Because Leon couldn't have held me."
"I knew it. You said you escaped, out the window?
Alice turns her gaze to the window with Chirali. Silvi shook her head vertically without looking at you.
"Alice knows I can use magic, right? I used levitating magic. So... I did my best. But it happened to be Arthur... and he helped me."
"He said he helped... but it was the ecstasy that served him, wasn't it? No way, you Arthur held me..."
