Haunted Duke’s Daughter

184

It was after noon that I reached my dorm room. I don’t have anything in particular, so I think I can pull a cage in my room for the day. When I told Alisa that because I didn’t disagree with Sakura either, she immediately prepared tea and sweets.

“Because of this, and let’s take it slow for the three of us today. Cynthia, come down.”

Speaking to the ceiling, Cynthia came down. Alisa will have extra tea ready soon.

“Excuse me.”

Alisa and Cynthia said, sitting across from Lilia. We both sat together. We did, but it still doesn’t seem to calm down. The movement is irresistible and the expression is stiff. I can’t help but care less, so Lilia drinks tea without saying anything more.

“Um, Master Lilia”

Cynthia opens her mouth and Lilia sees Cynthia. With a tense face, Cynthia said.

“Master Lilia heard you can see the Spirit, is it true?

When asked, I remembered that if I said so, I hadn’t told the two of them. I know you’re hearing it from someone, but I haven’t done what Lilia tells you with her own mouth yet. When I saw it, Alisa also stared at this one. She still cares, too.

Lilia looks at Cynthia’s shoulder. The little bird was stuck on its shoulder. You’re going to think it’s just a bird at first glance, but the fact that the other two haven’t noticed that bird tells me this is also a form of spirits. But just in case, I decided to ask.

“Cynthia. Do you see anything on your shoulder?

“Shoulder, is it?

Cynthia tilted her neck and looked at each of her own shoulders. Alisa also looks at Cynthia and her own shoulders. When they were about to shake their heads, Lilia zeroed her grin.

“There’s a spirit on board.”

Cynthia peels her eyes a little and checks her shoulders again. But naturally it seemed impossible to see, and it solidified in confusion. Most importantly, I couldn’t let the spirits fall off where I could see them, but they would still have solidified.

Looking over the room, there were other spirits floating. The number is six. I don’t do anything, I’m just drifting.

– You have so many spirits.

Even the mansion could see many spirits in its own room. Even if I knew I had no choice but to realize it, I would be frightened.

– I wouldn’t be here so much if I were.

– Oh. Really?

– Yeah. I guess every kid’s just here to see Lilia.

Uh, and I’ll raise my gaze. My eyes met with one of the floating spirits. The spirit, who looked like a dwarf, smiled joyfully and began drifting again, out of sight as if she had seen nothing.

“You still see it”

Lilia lowers her gaze to Alisa’s voice. Alisa was staring at Lilia with a serious look.

“Master Lilia is going to be a magician.”

“Right…… I’m sure it will.”

It is also what the King tells me directly. It cannot be avoided. I wish I had other options, but there’s nothing I can do about all this.

“We… Can I continue to serve you like this?

To Alisa’s inquiry, Lilia tilted her neck. I wonder why you ask that. Alisa mumbled hard to say and Cynthia opened her mouth instead.

“If you’re going to be a magician, you must also have the opportunity to hire someone better than us. You can hire people to work in the royal castle.”

If a magician hires servants, those costs are to be borne by the royal family. This can also be described as a remedy for those who have become magicians from the civilian population. If you hire a servant, you can also hire someone who works in the royal castle, so you can naturally hire someone who is highly capable from the start. For this reason, they say many people hire again, even if they are of aristocratic origin.

You two are afraid Lilia might do that. Lilia sighed, staring at both of them.

“Alisa. Cynthia”

Called by name, they tremble their bodies as if they were frightened. Seeing it, Lilia continues.

“I’m not letting you go. Or do you want to leave me?”

“That’s not true!

The two shouted at the same time and Lilia smiled satisfactorily.

“That’s fine. Nice to see you again.”

When I smiled at the two of them, it was time to sigh of relief and smile.

The next day. When Lilia showed her face to the classroom, she simultaneously felt her gaze from all over the classroom. Looking over the quiet classroom, Lilia shrugs her shoulders and walks to her seat.

“Dear Liliane,”

Chris called me along the way. Turning her gaze toward Chris, she smiled happily.

“I thought you’d never come back. Welcome home, Master Liliane.”

“Oh. It would have been better for you not to come back, wouldn’t it? With me, my beloved highness is the last thing I can be.”

“I don’t think so.”

The two of us smile cold at each other. Everyone was distancing themselves from Lilia and Chris.

– I wonder why you’re still acting… Isn’t that enough?

– I can’t stop now.

I smile with Chris and head straight to my seat. When I sat in my seat, Saila and the others came together. Lilia accidentally laughed bitterly at the happy smiling sairas.

You look good.

When I say that briefly, Saila and the others moisten their eyes and say:

“Dear Liliane too…… When I was told they had taken me to the royal castle, I wondered what would really happen.”

“You exaggerate.”

I think I’m going to worry about that much, but I don’t feel so bad. If I threw my gaze around, some of them noticed this gaze and smiled happily. Lilia has turned her eyes round to the unprecedented reaction of her classmates.

“Dear Liliane!

Return to me much to Saila’s voice. To Lilia like that, Saila says.

“Master Liliane is going to be a magician.”

Where the hell are you purchasing information from? When she accidentally pulled her cheeks but agreed, Saila let her face shine.

“Bye! Yes or no! Make me your maid of honor, Liliane! Because I will remember my maid’s job by the time I graduate!

“Unfortunately, the servants have already decided…”

“There’s no limit on the number of people, right?

Lilia wanted to hold her head when she saw Saila smiling. There is certainly no limit to the number of people. There are no restrictions, but that’s why I don’t want to increase the number of people too close to Lilia. Sakura will struggle.

– Mm-hmm?

– With me and Sakura, you’ll have a different personality. More will make it harder to delude you.

– Oh, well, sure… But no matter what you think, you can’t keep falling for it…

– Still, it’s less likely.

– Hmm…… Right.
