Chapter 8 (1/2)
Even though Sakura said so, nojust wouldn’t co about it was probably useless
“Hey, Alisa”
When Lilia called out to Alisa sitting opposite to her, a reply of “yes” came immediately
“I can’t quite seeure out what Theo’s intentions were back there Do you get it, Alisa?”
“That’s… I somewhat understand, but I can’t be sure that I’m correct”
“Is that so…”
Alisa knew Therefore recalling all the things that have happened up to now, Lilia should also be able to reach somewhat of an answer The events of today, and at that just thinking back to the encounter with Theo, the conclusion she reached was,
“He wanted to get along better with me…?”
Aftersuch, Lilia immediately said in self derision
“As if, like that could be the case There should be a li self conscious”
Hearing that, Sakura gave a sh, and Alisa lowered her eyebrows sadly, but Lilia noticed neither of them
The distance from the Aldis duke estate to the academy could be traversed in around three hours by coach With that in mind even if one left the estate in the afternoon they could arrive on the same day with time to spare However, for today Alisa wanted to rest easy in the dormitory, and departed fro to run into anyone After classes ended people would be returning to the dor, so if she entered her room now there should be no one there to question her
The prince’s declaration of the break-off to their engageazes froht her dread That said, it would be i into anyone Today would be the only exception
—Nothing will change even if you run away right?
—Oh shut up…
Lilia too understood thatinto the atht to properly harden her resolve She knew that it was just an excuse to herself Even so, to Lilia this was the only choice she could take
A little past noon, the academy’s structure came into view
The acade with the enor and various other sporting facilities also existed For tis on cah placed at a corner of the acadereater than theitself
“Mistress Lilia I…”
With one look at the academy Alisa turned around to face her master Before she could continue her words, Lilia, anticipating her question answered preemptively
“You will be in the same room as me”
“Eh…”
“My, is there a problem?”
As Lilia narrowed her eyes and questioned the maid, Alisa flusteredly shook her head Lilia accepted the response, and looked away
—To be stuck with noisy Miss Selfish from dawn till dusk, how pitiful
—And who ht that be
—Really, I wonder?
It was a voice that seemed to carry with it a mean-spirited smirk Lilia knit her eyebrows,
“After all I’ht?”
Lilia sulked as she said that Sakura was laughing and said that it was a joke, and,
“Tha-that’s not what I thought at all!”
Alisa shouted simultaneously Lilia stiffened in surprise Even Sakura hadn’t expected Alisa to respond to Lilia’s quiet mutter, and was at a loss for words
