Haunted Duke’s Daughter

103

Lilia still has the bear stuffed animal in her hand, by the way. We ended up acting together all day. Seeing that, and opening the door to the room again.

There was a bear. On the bed in the room sat a stuffed animal that looked like it had made the bear about two turns bigger that it now had. My cheeks snap by accident. What the hell is that?

– Isn’t that your brother? I was looking at Lilia’s stuffed animal before I went out.

I see, and I head to my nodding brother’s room. As soon as I knocked on the door of the room, my brother turned up.

“What do you say? You like that?

It’s still my brother’s fault. And I guess Lilia also expected to see that and visit her brother. Lilia said to her brother with a full smile.

“Give it back.”

“Huh?”

“I thought I said I wasn’t interested.”

The tone is still polite, but I can see Lilia’s anger from the tremor of words. Naturally, my brother seemed to have guessed, and let his eyes swim.

“Yes, no. I can’t give it back…”

“That means we have to take it home to the main mansion?

“Well…… It will.”

Even one of the curses made me want to bathe, but the other guy is still my brother. Plus, probably, but I seriously thought Lilia would be happy. Lilia had no choice but to sigh all her emotions and spit them out slowly.

“Thank you”

You understand what Lilia said reluctantly, but still her brother leaked a relieved exhale.

“I’ll hear your hopes next time.”

Lilia frowned in surprise at her brother’s words.

“What is it all of a sudden? Your brother wouldn’t have bought me anything.”

“Oh…… Well, you know, what? I’ve bought a lot from Theo before. Sometimes I thought to you, too. Besides, you haven’t said much about me lately.”

I didn’t think you were thinking that, and Lilia circled her eyes in surprise. My brother, who saw it, smiled bitterly, but soon gave me a serious look.

“I’m honestly glad you’re reflecting on what you’ve been up to. But, Lilia. You can’t do that?

“What do you mean?

“No…… I’m not a talker, so I can’t put it into words… I hope it’s okay. Never mind.”

Go to sleep, my brother’s going back to his room. Lilia also began to return to her room, tilting her neck.

– Anyway, I’d have to assume this would be a place to decorate that size…

I think of my room in the main mansion. In a room that still has a lot of conditioning. I’ll have to sort things out.

– Lilia is still sweet around seriously thinking about the place, isn’t she? Or were you actually happy?

– That can’t be true. I just wonder what your brother would say if he hadn’t decorated it if he came to my room sometimes.

Most of all, it’s just a story that needs to be said or ignored. It’s Lilia’s room, so you can set Lilia free. But I’m still going to decorate it because I got it.

The sound of a modest knock reached my ear as I went back to my room and contemplated a plan to remodel as I prepared for bed. I head to the door with my neck tilted, whoever it is at this hour.

“Lilia. Are you awake?

Tina’s little voice. Lilia opened the door immediately.

“Oh, good. You’re still awake.”

“I was going to take a break… What’s the matter with you?

“Yeah. Can I just give you a minute?

“I don’t mind…”

When she invited her into the room, Tina entered the room thanking her. Tina has a small basket in her hand. When Tina put it on the table, she took out the contents.

“Cookies?”

“Yeah. I tried baking it. Let’s eat together.”

No tea, but with a bitter smile, Tina also took out two small plates and arranged them in each. Lilia sits opposite Tina in the meantime. I put the plate in front of Lilia, and Tina sat down, too.

“Go ahead.”

Tina prompted Lilia to take a piece of cookie. Put that in your mouth and start to blur.

– Ooh. Surprisingly delicious.

– Excuse Tina…. I agree though.

Looking at Tina, I was staring at this one with a serious look. I guess you want to hear your thoughts. Lilia tasted it well before swallowing it and said with a smile.

“It’s delicious.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I’m not gonna lie about this.”

Tina smiled as soon as she could. Good, it sounds small. I don’t think I can do it that disturbingly.

Tina also ate a piece of cookie and nodded satisfactorily.

“But I guess it’s a little less than what I bought at the store…”

“That won’t help. I think they’re wrong to compare.”

Does Tina even want to be a confectioner? When I asked her that, Tina shook her head immediately.

“Don’t worry too much. I’ll make it again.”

“I honestly care…… Well, fine. I’ll give you a taste whenever you want.”

Thanks, Tina laughed, and Lilia smiled, too.

School holidays are still long. Lilia decided to stay here for about two weeks. I suggested it to my brother, who rather thought he was staying here until the end of the day, and he seemed surprised.

“Are you sure?

“I don’t know the intent of the question…… I saw Tina talking to her family, and I just wanted to have a little chat with your father and mother, too.”

“Right…… Okay, let’s arrange it that way.”

My brother’s face, who said so, had a very happy smile.

At the inn, Tina only helps the inn a little, but still the two of us study in the morning, just like before. After lunch, we get dressed and head out to the South Side, where we look around at all sorts of things. Many things are not seen in the city, very fresh every day.
