Chapter 64 (1/2)

New fiancée?➃

I drank the tea Sana brewed and continued eating sweets, when brother who didn't speak a word until now whispered.

”Princess Sumire visited our country a long time ago~. Umm, when was it? … Ah, right. Before Prince Leon came to our territory for the first time, it seems for some reason she came to meet him in person before being formally engaged. Well, I don't know details since it's all hearsay, but it's said she liked Prince Leon at first sight.”

Why does my brother know such a thing?

I'm amazed that brother is unexpectedly well-informed.

So that means Sumire-sama fell in love with Prince Leon and thought that I stole her spot as fiancée from right in front of her?

What a perfect misunderstanding…

Preferably, I'd wrap it up and return it.

”What's the matter with that! Even if you couldn't tie up the engagement, it's not Lillinsama's fault! I don't know what you're misunderstanding, but you're blaming the wrong person!”

Thanks Allen-kun~~

That's right! I didn't say I wanted to, but I became his fiancée.

Still, the feeling of love is great.

The direction is totally wrong, but I feel envious of such a feeling.

”Lillinoneesama… What will you do in the future? It's not okay to return to territory, right~?”

”Well~, Sumire-sama's situation will only get more complicated if I stay near… I'll ask father for permission to return.”

There's a person who made subtle expression after hearing my words.

It's brother.

I can hear you saying something…

”If Lillina goes home, so will Sana!? Hey! I won't be able to enjoy this delicious tea or sweets, and more importantly, I won't be able to see her face…”

He is mumbling to himself.

Let me tell you that Sana is my maid.

I'm definitely taking her home.

Sana seems to be able to hear what brother's saying… but she ignores it.

Well, I wonder if things during this time are unforgettable.

If by any chance, even if I don't think so, Sana decides to remain here I will allow it with a smile.

I don't think so though.

ーーThat evening

I reported today's events in my father's room and told him I wanted to return to our territory.
