When I looked at Tina, she was also sipping her tea. Apparently, I was able to divert the conversation. It was only a stopgap asure, but it was better than being in a foul mood in front of Lilia. Rather than that, the rest was a matter for the prince. Ive already fulfilled my promise, so Ill just have to do my best.
Speaking of which, I rembered that I had received an invitation to an evening party hosted by the royal family, but I wondered how Tina had fared. Id like to think that the prince didnt make the sa mistake, as expected, but I decided to ask her just in case.
Tina. Theres a soiree tomorrow. You didnt get an invitation, did you?
.
Tina looked away. The mont she saw this, the corner of Lilias eyebrows lifted.
Did you get it?
Ah-ha-ha.
Um ! People go to.
SYou almost called her stupid.
LWhat the hell was that idiot thinking?
SHmmm.I dont know.
Doesnt he understand how much trouble Tina will be in? Lilia desperately suppressed the feeling of being overwheld with anger and took a slow deep breath at Sakuras urging. As she did this once, twice, three tis, she began to feel a little calr. When she had cald down to so extent, Lilia tapped her finger on the table.
Tina.
Yes, yes! What is it?
Hmm.? Why are you so nervous?
When I tilted my head and asked her, Tina pulled her cheeks together and looked away. From her reaction, I might have done sothing to her, but I couldnt think of anything. As I was thinking that, Sakura told while holding back her laughter.
SLilia. You look so scary. Tinas going to be scared.
LOh.Ill be careful.
I thought I had cald down, but apparently I hadnt been able to hide my expression. Feeling a little remorseful, I smiled at Tina, but she still looked worried.
Im sorry. Tina, could you do a favor?
Yeah.What?
Can you bring the invitation? Im going to have a little talk with His Highness.
Tina seed hesitant, but she must have realized that Lilia was not going to back down, because she nodded obediently and left the room.
After a short wait, Tina returned with the invitation.
Thank you. You can go back to your room now. You dont have to attend tomorrows soiree.
When she said this, Tina smiled, though her eyebrows remained lowered.
YeahIm sorry, Lilia. I just couldnt say no.
Dont worry about it. Have a safe trip back.
Tina finally said, Take it easy, with a worried look, and left the room. I watched her go and sat in my chair for a while longer, drinking my tea, then slowly exhaled and stood up.
LNow, lets go.
SOh!
Sakura replied very happily. However, I could see that her voice was trembling slightly, probably from anger. It seems that Sakura has sothing on her mind. Hearing Sakuras voice like that, Lilias anger was rekindled.
Lilia slowly made her way to the door. On the way, she turned to see if Alisa had tried to call her off, and for so reason she froze. Then Lilia left the room without being disturbed by anyone.
Normally, it would be polite to ask soone to inform the prince of her visit, but she didnt care about that. Lilia walked down the hallway with a smile on her face.
She passed a few people on the way, but as soon as they saw Lilia, they all took a big step away from her and stood upright, until she passed by.
They didnt want to have anything to do with Lilia now, not even the smallest thing. Sakura could tell, and she seed to be struggling to hold back her laughter.
After a short walk, I reached the princes room. Perhaps because of his position, there were two soldiers by the door of the room, keeping an eye on the surroundings.
Oh, its you, Liliane.
The soldier made a surprising sound. He must have thought it was unusual since she rarely ca to this place now.
Lilia smiled at the soldier.
Id like to see His Highness, can you arrange for ?
!
The soldier gulped briefly and imdiately bowed his head reverently. I was a little uncomfortable with his reaction, as if he had seen a demon, but the soldier knocked on the door honestly, which was good.
SNo, an evil demon is still prettier than you.
Sakura muttered, and just as Lilia was about to complain about it, the door was opened.
Yes?
A woman in a maids uniform appeared. She looked at the soldier, then at Lilia, and her eyes widened in astonishnt. I smiled and turned to her, wondering what she was so surprised about, and she shut the door vigorously.
An awkward silence flows. The mask of Lilias smile fell off, and the two soldiers who saw it took an involuntary step back.
Huh.
A voice leaked out of Lilias mouth.
Hmph.
Keep your face expressionless.
Hmmm
Lilia tried to touch the door of the room.
Im sorry, my servant was rude.Oh!
The prince looked up, saw Lilias expression and took a big step back.
