Haunted Duke’s Daughter

101

My brother’s gaze slips slightly and I head to the back of Lilia. Tina and I broke up at dinner again, so nobody should be here. I looked back wondering and screamed unexpectedly.

“… Huh!

I want to praise myself for being somehow indulged. Staring at Broso with his helmet there, he still returned acne without saying anything.

“Broso. Good luck. Rest now.”

Broso nodded small and left the scene quietly.

“Brother, since when has he been here?

I didn’t notice at all until I followed my brother’s gaze. I wondered, wondering if I didn’t realize I had passed beside him.

“I’ve been walking behind you forever, nothing.”

Lilia opens her eyes wide. That’s what I didn’t notice at all. I tried to ask why, but Sakura laughed.

– You don’t have to worry, it’s an escort. Thanks, but there’s no way I can leave Lilia alone. Whatever your brother is because he’s strong, Lilia just needs to escort him.

– Wait. You noticed that, didn’t you? Why didn’t you tell me?

– I didn’t think it was necessary… Wouldn’t you be weird if I told you?

Asked back, think a little. If I had indeed listened, my consciousness might have been right for Broso. In that case, I would not have enjoyed it purely so far. Then I guess I’m still glad I didn’t ask.

I said it because Lilia had a difficult look on her face or while my brother seemed a little sorry.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t think I needed to tell you. Yeah, you should’ve said that.”

“Oh, no. I don’t mind. Sure, because you would have cared.”

As Lilia shook her head, her brother leaked a sigh of relief.

“By the way, brother. Is Broso staying in this inn too?

“No. He said he was here for our escort, too, but he let me go home under my authority”

“You let me go home?

Before trying to ask where, my brother nodded and said.

“He’s from here. I let him go home.”

Lilia glanced a little, then nodded like she was good at it.

“I was wondering why you chose that guy, is that why”

“Oh. I thought it would be nice to finally have someone to go home to. The one from far away is hard to get home. Just fine.”

That’s all I said, then suddenly my brother laughed.

“Don’t worry. I’ll protect Lilia. So sorry, but we’re in the same room at night…… Just kidding.”

Staring half-eyed, my brother slipped his gaze. I don’t think it’s sane, like trying to sleep in the same room as someone I don’t like.

– You don’t get paid…

I tilt my neck inside without knowing what Sakura’s words mean. I immediately remembered that my brother was in front of me and coughed to deceive me.

“So long, brother. I’m going back to my room.”

“Oh. What about dinner? Take it in the cafeteria or in the room, but”

I was just a little surprised that it could also be eaten in the room because I thought it had to be a dining room. But that may also be natural. Some of the nobles are even known to the common people for their faces. If those people want to settle down and eat, they should still eat in their rooms. I can’t deny my concern just this time.

I thought about it a little bit, but it doesn’t mean I have to take it in my room. Lilia replied, in the dining room.

“Okay. Shall I take it in the cafeteria? Lilia, call me when you’re ready.”

“I’m not ready for anything, though. Tina tells me you can borrow some clothes for a while.”

“Right. I’m not particularly prepared for this either. Let’s go.”

That’s what I said and started walking. Follow my brother’s back. A few more steps to the stairs and his brother opened his mouth.

“Lilia. You need to get dressed tomorrow, okay?

Does that mean you still don’t think you’re going to get dressed for a while? Lilia gently reached out her right hand and thought through her brother’s hand.

“Ugh! Oh, I’m sorry! Just kidding! Ouch, no, wait, it really hurts!

My brother trying desperately to escape and Lilia holding my brother’s hand over and over again wondering if this is still the case. From the edge, he must have looked like a good brother and sister.

– Peace…

Sakura, who is outside the mosquito net, said he watched as he stretched out.

There were several other guests in the dining room. Three elongated tables are arranged and solidified around three people in each place. It seems that some people are drinking, which is very noisy.

“Ha. Nice air.”

My brother laughs happily and sits in the corner seat. Lilia also sat opposite her brother, tilting her neck to see what was good for her. I guess a woman who works here brought a glass of water without being waited for much longer.

“Yes. Lilia”

“Thanks…… Huh?”

When I looked at the woman’s face, it was Tina. Staring at Tina in surprise, Tina looked away shy.

“Weird, huh?

Tina’s clothes, unlike before, are made-up. Apparently, he hastily changed his clothes. It’s just a little crumbly, but that suits him. Most importantly, it would be rude to say that to an aristocratic maid, albeit the Baron’s.

“You look great.”

– I said hello.

– You shouldn’t lie.

– Yeah. I hope I’m of the same opinion. Besides, Tina won’t mind.

As Sakura said, Tina was smiling happily.

“So? Why are you dressed like that?

“Yeah. The guy I’m hiring here is wearing this. I guess it’s like a uniform.”

“There would have been something else.”

“Because it’s easy to understand, I think…”

Tina says so, but Tina doesn’t seem confident either. Again, they don’t even know why this clothing is. I’m not that interested. Managers’ freedom.
