I wondered if I should continue to consult him. Should I speak up for His Highnesss sake? What do you think, Lady Liliane?
Lilia nodded, she could not help but understand what Chris was trying to say. Even if she were to give advice to the prince, she would probably feel uneasy if she knew that they would not get together.
But I also believe that their fears are unfounded. Im sure the prince understands that much. Even if we dont do anything, he will take care of it.
Its fine as usual. Im sure His Highness is aware of that.
Do you think he understands?
SHes the prince, isnt he?
LWhat do you think, Sakura?
SHmm? Lets just leave it alone. I hate to say it, but if you dont even realize it, I cant handle it.
It sounded a little thorny, but I think it was definitely true. When I told her what Sakura had said, Chris nodded.
Thank you, Lady Lilia. I am relieved that you have co to the sa conclusion as I have.
What? You didnt have to co if youve already decided.
No. To be honest, I was worried..
Chris smiled vaguely at that. Lilia didnt ask any deeper questions, but took the cup of tea.
By the way, Liliane, what are your plans for the vacation?
Chris asked, and Lilia shook her head.
I havent decided anything in particular. Im thinking of spending so ti at my parents house, though. What about you, Chris?
Co to think of it, I hadnt asked Chris how she was spending her vacation since she ca to the school. I was a little curious, so I asked her, and she gladly answered.
Im the sa way. Ill take my ti.
She said that she would think about the rest later. I felt my cheeks relax a little at the similarity of her plan. However, I quickly cleared my throat to cover it up.
After that, the two of us continued to drink tea in a relaxed manner. Occasionally, we would talk as if we rembered sothing, but it was always about two words or less.
Just as I was beginning to think that it was ti for lunch, there was a knock on the door again. Alisa went to greet the guest.
Lady Lilia. Its Lady Sera.
Lilias eyebrows twitched. She and Sera talked every morning, but it was rare for her to visit Lilias room herself. It was probably the first ti. Surprised inwardly, she nodded to Alisa and invited Sera in.
Excuse ..huh?
Sera froze, her eyes bugging out of her head. I tilted my head to see what was going on and followed her gaze.
Chris didnt look surprised, but she froze when she saw Sera.
Im not sure why Christel is here?
Chris, who had co back to her senses at the sound of Seras hard voice, did not answer, but threw a glance at Lilia. She looked at her as if she wanted to know what she should do. Lilia didnt have any particular idea either, so her mind was completely blank.
LSakura, help !
S.I think you should just introduce them to each other like normal. I dont think Sera would talk now even if you tortured her.
Welco, Sera. Its unusual for you to co here on your own.
Oh, yes.Am I bothering you?
No, not at all. Alisa, prepare the tea.
Alisa quickly bowed and started preparing the tea. Lilia beckoned to her, and Sera walked up to Lilias side with a hesitant look. When she pointed to the chair next to Chris and told her to sit down, Seras cheeks tensed up.
Oh, um.You know.
Dont worry, its not like Im in any kind of conflict with Chris.
What?
Sera let out a squeak of surprise and turned back to Chris. Chris was frowning suspiciously at her.
Chris. You dont have to worry. I trust this girl.
Oh, really?.If you say so, then I believe you.
She was easily convinced. I thought it might take so convincing, so I was disappointed.
Sera, just trust Chris. Thats enough for now.
Okay. I understand.
She answered imdiately as well. I was still thinking of persuading her, but I was confused.
SThey trust you, its the result of your hard work.
L Im rather worried, though.
But since Sakura is convinced, there will be no problem now. Thats what I told myself, and decided to return to the story.
So? What do you want, Sera?
No.Tina told yesterday that she would be on her way later and that I should go ahead of her.
I havent heard anything.
Slightly puzzled, I threw a glance at Chris. But Chris shook her head, laughing a little sadly.
Well, Im not that close to the girl.
It was true that Chris was not close to Tina. Just as we were thinking about what Tina wanted to do, there were three knocks on the door. This ti, Alisa opened the door imdiately and said,
Its Miss Tina, Miss Alia, and Miss Katie.
The corner of Chriss eyebrows lifted.
LWhats the matter with this girl?
SMaybe its like, I warned you before, what do you think youre doing?
L Oh, I see.
Im convinced, but I cant be bothered to stand between them. Lilia said to Chris in a slightly harsh voice.
Chris. I know how you feel, but you have to control it.
Yes, Im sorry.
Chris imdiately nded her expression. Lilia confird it and then nodded to Alisa.
Alisa invited Tina and the others in. Tina and the others were also surprised to see Chris and rolled their eyes.
