Niko, Mark, and the royal family and the group of adults of the Four Dukes had already completed their greeting, and Felicia, Chris, Gil, my brother, and I were to say hello.

“Felicia Remington, and this is Christine Remington. I'm not going with these two."

His Highness Lambert, who hasn't seen us in a really long time, somehow introduces us to the clutter. You must be tired after coming back from Easter.

“Gilbert Lisburn, another member of the Lisburn family will meet us in Wester.”

You don't have to give me any extra information.

"Luke Allbans and Leah Allbans."

Felicia and Chris and I pinched the skirt and said hello.

"Then you're the secretary and the squire."

His Highness Lambert suitably pointed his hand at it, but I don't think he remembers his name properly, unlike his father. The atmosphere is very troublesome.

My name is Ricochet Eldred.

“It's Jasper Grayson, since the North. It's been a long time."

Jasper's greeting softened the atmosphere of his brother and Gil. Jasper turned towards me,

"Rourke's fine."

and taught me in a low voice. I nodded like this. I suspect that Roark fell into a hole in the northern realm and was not well, but I felt relieved when I asked him directly.

As a result, the official greeting was completed, and I was told to have a chat in the form of a standing meal. Since the formal meal party for the royal family is held separately, it seems that the young ones are young and they want to deepen their interaction. However, since Lord Albert was still at Easter, the four lords below the mark would be the opponents.

His Highness, Lambert, has disappeared. It is difficult to know whether it is busy or troublesome.

His Highness Carlos first went to Felicia, as I expected. Felicia has a subtle face, but she'll be fine for now because Marc is nearby. We gathered naturally at Jasper. Ricochet seemed lost, but he didn't go to the prince and stayed with us.

I looked up at the man who said Ricochet with a smile on his face.

With chestnut hair and chestnut eyes, it is even thinner than the skinny Highness Carlos, and its handsome but slightly lifted eyes and thin jaw give the impression of being slightly nervous. The face that I would have definitely worn if I had glasses in this world. If the work is really a secretary, the appearance is worthy of it and very good, but what about the contents?

I looked up and my eyes closed. Suddenly Ricochet's shoulders moved and his hands were a little prickly.

”Ka”

Is that you?

Ricochet snorted and turned his eyes upward to endure something. He's a strange man.

"Leah, Chris."

I was called by my brother, so I went to him with Chris. I wonder what it is.

"I know you want to warm up old friendship with Jasper, but Leah and Chris would like to see Lord Ricochet first."

It is unusual for a brother to say this. Ricochet has only the first impression of being a strange person, but if your brother can go, he'll be fine. I gently advised Chris.

"It's not uncle, it's you."

Leah, yesterday, I was told to dump you.

"It's not dandruff."

* Giggle * I puffed my cheeks a little to Chris, but I'm glad Chris understood.

Well then, let's go.

That's right.

I held my hand with Chris and turned to Ricochet, who was listening to Jasper's conversation with his brother and Gil.

Hello.

Hello.

"Oh, nice to meet you, little ladies."

Ricochet's initial suspicious behavior was an adult attitude. First, Chris greeted her normally.

"It's Christine, but call me Christine, oniisan Ricochet."

"Oniisama, oniisama, nnh. Gohon. Chris, you can call me Ricochet.”

I calmly watched Ricochet coughing with a kabuki in his mouth to deceive his burning face. I see, I like small children. But isn't it disgusting enough for you to be on your guard? If so, I must also play my part. I pounded Ricochet's leg. Three-year-olds can hardly be recognized by tall people.

Oh, here it is.

Lilia...

Oops, if you are alarmed, you will get a word.

Oh, Lord Leah.

However, it seemed that my favorability level had increased.

Leah, please, Ricochet.

Then he leans his face toward the wall to show it. I feel like I overdo it and I hear your voice, but I think it's an illusion. Chris called me oniisama, so I don't have to.

"How adorable, Leah. Thank you."

I wonder if my feelings have finally calmed down. He greeted me honestly with a normal, vivid face. However, he soon had a sinister face.

"I heard that the little princess of Allbans was a companion, but I didn't know that she was such a weak and poor girl as you. It's hard to travel in a dragon car.”

I felt like I heard coughing in vain all over the room, but maybe the room was dry.

It's okay. Leah, Ryusha, I love it.

It is troublesome to explain why I am going too, so I will do it.

"Sir Ricochet, my sister was once kidnapped and protected by Wester. I was invited from the other side at that time, so I'm one of the principal guests. I know you're worried, but I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on it with me.”

Instead, my brother explained it to me.

"Is that so?" I've heard the story, but I'm sure you're in good spirits. If there's anything I can do, do it. ”

It was the Ricochet that inspired the circle surrounding Jasper. I was satisfied with the smile I gave my thanks to my brother. I decided that Ricochet seemed to be a kind person for the sake of appearance, and I calmed down my chest. Jasper is, of course, a decent person, so two of the three guests seem to be common-sense for the time being.
