The Duke’s Daughter Is the Knight Captain’s (62) Young Wife

Lilia and I have known each other for a long time.

When I was twelve, I went into school, and after a while, I was instructed to be in pairs, and we blew together. By then Lilia was also a girl with a strong temper in front of her and a good opinion around her. I had no friends because of it, and I lived alone.

When it comes to me against, I was desperate to do the challenges given to me by the Queen every day, and I couldn't do anything else. So he was just a kid studying on the edge the whole time. Like Lilia, I didn't have any friends.

We were different in character, but I felt like it was for the price. So from then on, we had lunch together with each other's samurai.

It was thanks to Lilia that the lonely school life, completely untouched by His Royal Highness Rayford, became filled.

It's embarrassing, but you might call me your best friend.

That's my best friend.

He's got a very angry face, and he's staring at me.

"Description, is it?

"Yes. Explain it to me so I can be satisfied."

"… where did you explain it from first"

What part of Lilia wants an explanation for?

For example, having suddenly left the school voluntarily.

For example, that I was suddenly divested of my engagement by His Highness Rayford.

For example, having proposed to Master Wilhelm.

For example, having gone for an entrance exam to the Knights.

Sure, there are a lot of parts of you that you wouldn't know if you didn't explain.

"First...... right. I heard what you said. His Royal Highness, Rayford, told me you'd broken your engagement."

"Right. I didn't think they'd say that at a night club."

"I hear Mary Hopkins appealed to Her Highness. He said he was abused by you. I was about to get knocked down the stairs, or something."

"Right. Your Highness seems to have believed that."

"What the hell are you thinking?"

As Lilia shuddered, I'll look here.

Why are you looking at me like that?

"What do you mean?

"Carol... when did you abuse Mary? As far as I know, that's not true."

"You don't remember abusing me. In the first place, there was very little involvement in the school other than Lilia."

"Then why wouldn't you say so! I guess there was no such thing as an abusive fact! I could have testified!

Lilia absurds her voice.

Sure, you're right if you ask me. I couldn't keep up with the sudden strangulation of His Highness Rayford.

On second thought, I'm an innocent sinned victim, aren't I?

"There was no such thing as the fact that you abused Mary. Yet I told His Highness that you had abused him. You know what happens in this case, right?

"You deserve a false declaration in Article 42-2 of the Criminal Code of the Kingdom. The negligence of ignorance in the third subparagraph is also inadmissible and therefore constitutes a malicious false declaration. It also qualifies as defamation under Article 35-1."

"... no, I knew you were memorizing the whole law. Why aren't you saying anything yet?"

"I'm not otherwise interested. I'm not going to let His Highness Rayford understand my innocence now."

"... Carol"

Sincerely, Your Highness is not interested, is it?

However, there is no doubt that Miss Mary has made a false declaration.

That too, if you don't sue from me, I don't think there's anything particularly shabby about it.

"You weren't interested?

"Yes. It was a forced engagement by your father in the first place, and the Queen's education was really hard. If I think I can get away from it, I'm kind of unwilling to fight it."

"... you weren't even interested in school?

I can't say anything unintentionally to Lilia's words.

School life was fun. It was a study pickle, but I enjoyed spending time with Lilia.

Sure, I may have moved too far on my own.

"... I'm sorry, Lilia"

"What are you apologizing to me for?

"I left school on my own, and you missed me. I'm sorry."

"-!"

As easy as Lilia could tell, I turned my face bright red.

Lilia is strong and has a bad mouth, but she's really a very sweet kid. That's why you've come to visit me like this, worried about me.

"Oh, no, I don't. Yo! It's not like I miss you!

"Yes. Isn't Lilia thirsty? Let's make some tea."

"Don't flush it lightly! Ho, you're really different!

I know, I know.

My only friend is Lilia.

And likewise, I'm the only friend Lilia has.

So I guess Lilia will miss her coming school life.

When that happens, I apologize for taking the liberty of expelling you.

I'll tell Natalia, who was outside the door, to prepare some tea.

I would have tried to brew myself if it weren't for me, but it seemed like you were close for once.

"Uh, already. I was going to come and preach..."

"Lilia, it's me leaving school, but being a friend of Lilia's doesn't change. Let's play together, like holidays."

"... well, you can take a holiday break now."

Lilia asked me to go see her on holiday a few times. But for me, the holiday was the day I entered the royal palace and received an education from the queen. So I said no every time.

But now, I'm free. I got the freedom to go hang out with my friends.

"Well, that's fine. I can't help it on a weekday, but I'll have you on holiday."

"Yes, please take me to the store where the cute bear stuffed animal I used to say"

"Oh, that's not my hobby! Because you said you liked my sister!

"I know you do."

Ugh, and I smile.

Nor is it Dada's best friend. If it's about Lilia, I know most of everything.

Mm-hmm, and Lilia pointing her lips. This trick is mostly Lilia's habit when it's lit up.

In no time, Natalia brought me some tea.

From a cup of hot air, we drink tea from each other. Looks like he was thirsty for it.

"Speaking of which, is your engagement to His Royal Highness Rayford completely gone?

"Yes, Miss Mary is now my fiancée."

"Ha... if that's okay with you, it's fine. But you're a Duke's maid, and you haven't come to a new relationship?

"I'm proposing now. Because I've admired them since I was a little girl."

"Heh, who is it?

Speaking of which, this thought of mine kept a secret from Lilia as well.

I was wondering if I could talk to Lilia, but I'm still embarrassed, and I was, at the time, the fiancé of His Highness Rayford. If you give other men's names poorly, they will be unjust.

So I kept it a secret, but you can tell me already.

"Since I was a child, I've been wanting you at home."

"Heh. So older? Not bad. You know me, too?

"I think you probably know."

Mr. Wilhelm, who has been the Knights Commander for a long time, is a celebrity in the country. I'm sure Lilia knows that, too.

Lilia looked like she would enjoy herself, tilted the cup as she looked at this one, and included a bite.

"This is Lord Wilhelm, the Knights Commander."

"Bu!?

Thoughtfully, Lilia erupted tea.

It took a little while. It's dirty.
