Haunted Duke’s Daughter

22.

Advanced schools are divided into several classes for each academic year, but there are classes that are common across all academic years. That’s Lilia’s class, and it’s about a class just for senior nobles. There is no difference within the school building between what is used by ordinary people, including equipment, but only classes are isolated. It’s because of the constant fashion when you put it in the same class.

Upon entering the classroom, Lilia quickly heads to her seat. The seats are arranged evenly spaced in five vertical rows, six horizontal rows. Lilia’s seat is in the front row. Because it’s still early in the morning, or few people. I could sit in my seat without anyone talking to me.

– Lilia. Are you okay?

– What?

– No… Seat next door.

Pointed out to Sakura, Lilia remembered what she had forgotten so far. View seats next to right. The prince’s seat.

– I can’t…

– I guess. What are you gonna do?

– Yeah, well…

Even if the prince were to be in the same classroom, there was no choice in that. That’s what school is all about, so I can break it off. Except when it comes to the next seat. Lilia stood up completely and turned her gaze toward the window.

Three students were bickering. Lilia is also full of familiar students, but she knows especially well the long red-haired person in the center.

Kristel Agnis, eldest daughter of the Marquis Agnis family, known as Kris. It’s not that I’m close to Lilia, it’s more of a pattern when I can even say enemy, but now I can’t replace my belly on my back. Lilia walks quietly to Chris.

“Oh.”

Chris soon noticed too. He smiles disgustingly and stares at Lilia. Lilia hates this smile.

“Morning, Chris. Can I have a minute?

“Oh, good morning, Master Liliane. What can I do for you?

The tone is polite, but it conveys signs of ridicule from the ends of the word. It’s really unpleasant.

“Can I ask you a favor?”

“Please? If that’s what I can do, what can I do? In the name of the Duke’s house, please give your order.”

It’s a way of saying it’s really a handicap. But when I get on with the provocation, I can’t talk. Lilia ignored all the provocations and decided to keep talking.

“Your seat and mine, will you trade them for me?

I rounded my eyes like Chris was surprised. That should be it, too, and Lilia’s seat, next to the prince’s, was won by Lilia even after she was half blackmailed. That is what we all know, including the prince.

“I heard something happened between you and Your Highness… Seriously?”

Chris was out of surprise or his tone was vegan. Lilia nods.

“Yeah. I definitely don’t like the neighborhood alone. You said you had a good neighbor next door, and that’s not a bad story, is it?

“That’s right… What are you up to?

They stare at Lilia with clear hostility. Lilia shrugged her shoulders and replied, Nothing.

“I am. Enough about Your Highness.”

“Yes…… I don’t know if you told me to come back later.”

“I won’t tell. Let us swear by the name of Ardis.”

Still, Chris was still staring suspiciously at Lilia, but he immediately broke his face. Quickly pack your desk luggage. Plus, it was easy, but it even cleaned.

“Sa, go ahead, Master Liliane. This seat is yours from now on.”

“Oh, thanks…… I didn’t think you’d make it that far. I’m not cleaning…”

“I don’t mind. Then excuse me. Ugh……”

Leave the surroundings alone and head to the place that was Lilia’s seat. After that, they chase him like the two surrounding him panicked. I can tell a lot about Chris’ feelings. Lilia smiled small and bitterly, sitting in the seat she was given.

– Now you can rest assured. Yeah, but I’d rather be back there if I could……

– It’s unusual for Lilia to stand out.

– That’s because I wanted to distract His Highness. I don’t care now.

After a little time, the rest of the students come to school as well. Every time a student in the back seat comes, they negotiate and have their seats exchanged. Repeating that three times, Lilia finally got the rear seat at the window. This seat won’t stand out.

– You were a good negotiator while I was there.

– No, you know what, Lilia. That was half compulsory. Lilia’s favor is an order for most people. I closed my eyes today, but like no other.

– I’m going to ask you normally… Ok……

I’m really just going to ask you, but apparently the other guy felt it was an order. You must have had frightened eyes in the street. For the first time, I thought Ardis’ name was out of the way.

Sitting at the chair, I just took a breath,

“Dear Liliane!

A familiar voice reached my ear. The look on Lilia’s face draws slightly. Shortly after the voice, about three female students came into the classroom. I’m walking straight to Lilia.

“Dear Liliane, that seems to have been enough. I was so worried.”

One of the three says, and the other two nods over and over.

“I’m sorry. I’m okay now.”

“Oh, good! I’m relieved. By the way…… Why are you in such a corner seat? Are you kidding me, Master Kristel…?

The female student’s eyes are narrowed. Lilia sighed openly when she saw it. I know how Lilia feels about these kids, but I feel a little happy now that I want to keep them company. The three men who saw Lilia sigh were visibly wolfish.

“Oh, um… Dear Liliane……?

“It’s nothing. I wanted this seat. You’ve heard rumors about me and Your Highness.”

“It’s, well… I didn’t care because it’s a rumor with no roots or leaves.”

“It’s a fact. I will avoid engaging with Your Highness in the future.”

The three of them opened their eyes to surprise. I guess that’s natural, too. Because Lilia was on the prince’s side before she pulled off. It’s not strange to be told you can’t believe it.

“Dear Liliane!

A talking female student shouted. All of a sudden, I feel like it.

“What?”

“Don’t be depressed! Master Liliane will surely regain His Highness’s heart!
