Chapter 36

“Your Highness Just what are you thinking here?”

“About what?”

“The recipients of the invitations are mostly those of the upper nobility Within all that, Tina alone is the exception here Might you have any idea, just what that girlbecause of that?”

“What do youher because I wanted her to come?”

—Ah, this guy’s hopeless He’s not even trying to understand Lilia, let’s give up here

—You’re right I feel bad for Tina, but this is out of my hands

Sighing together with Sakura, she turned her back to The Prince Now that she knew there was no point in any further conversation, she had no ation to show up, so she decided to head back to her roooodthe town earlier see away

“Wait, Lilianne! Our conversation’s not over!”

She stopped at The Prince’s words and answered without turning around

“No, it has concluded Now that I have realised the pointlessness of any further exchange of words with you, there is no longer any reason for me to be here”

After this she left without saying anything

or other fronored it

There was no one who impeded her path of return Anyone who saw Lilia’s face all scattered like away like a flock of birds But when she neared the exit there was one person standing there who didn’t flee

“Mistress Lilia…”

Tina was looking at her with a worried expression Probably because there were other upper class nobles around, she see too falance at Tina, before passing her by

“Hang in there”

“…!”

Tina widened her eyes at the short parting Lilia sent before leaving Without turning back to see her reaction, Lilia quickly took her leave from the place

When she got back to her roohtly surprised, she was guided to her seat by Alisa Taking a sip of tea, she felt a bit of life returning to her

“Good work out there, Mistress Lilia”

Just howit strange, Lilia si and didn’t respond

“Might there be any plans for tomorrow?”

“Not really… No, there is actually But there isn’t anything

anything requiring your assistance, so it’s fine if you guys have a rest At least take a break on the weekends”

Hearing that, Alisa had a troubled look It see, so Lilia spoke first

“You can take this as an order”

“Uu…”

“Take a break tomorrow”

Alisa looked like she still wanted to say soiving up, and didn’tfor a while, before eventually opening her mouth

“We shall take a break during noon only Will that be acceptable?”

“…Suit yourself then…”

She ondering just why she was so opposed to taking a day off, but it didn’t seeave her consent with this

—Lilia, what are you actually doing for tomorrow?

—Not ements
