While saying that, Ray shrugged. Although it was a familiar voice, it lacked the usual demureness. Lilia and Sakura were really surprised that he used such a tone against the prince.

As you can expect, was my first time being bullied like this. I see, it indeed feels bad.

First of all, you were the one who created this situation. Why did you come to study so far abroad?

No, haha Its kinda hard to talk about it

Lilia was left behind as the conversation between the two proceeded. Of course it did not appeal to Lilia. Therefore, it was inevitable that Lilia would narrow her eyes and let her anger drip out.

The first person her gaze stabbed was the prince in front of her.

Ah Liliane? Whats wrong?

The princes cheeks were stinging, but of course he didnt know why. As Ray tried to look back at Lilia, Lilia grabbed his shoulder.

Hi !

Rei let out a short scream, perhaps because he felt a piercing sensation. He slowly turned towards Lilia.

Um Lilia-san? Whats wrong?

A deliberate performance that seemed to be somewhat hastily improvised. In response to it,

I understand your feelings, but lets be a little more gentle.

But I am already as gentle as possible?

Ah, ahaha Yup. Just a reminder

Lilia could hear Sakuras bitter, acquiescing smile as, but Lilia ignored it. She put a lot of strength into her gaze at Ray and urged him to continue with the movement of her chin.

Oh, uh As I was saying Im Rayford Clavires. You know Clavires, right?

Its a neighboring country. Does that mean that its your family name?

Yeah. Im the third prince. I also have the right to succeed to the throne, but since my brothers positions are solid, Im like an extra spare.

tch!

The prince was rendered speechless and stayed silent. Lilia wondered why he was trembling just because she said she would keep it in mind, but she moved her gaze towards Ray.

Hey, Lilia are you for real? Do you really not understand?

What is it? Suddenly this idiot is just trembling.

Sakura groaned while holding her head, but Lilia still didnt understand why so she didnt bother with it any more.

So? How should we act going forward?

Lilia understood everything and Ray answered with a tense smile.

If possible, keep everything like before Please

All right, then Ill do that.

Ray, who heard it, let out a sigh of relief. Her keep this in mind seemed to be a sign of acceptance.

If possible, I would like you to continue helping with my studies as usual

Her request was unexpected. Ray hurriedly nodded but then she frowned.

(Ray)>Of course I understand you must be busy. If if you dont have time, its okay

Ah, yeah. It cant be helped because its Lilia.

What? What do you mean?

Its nothing. never mind.

She was not quite convinced, but even if she pursue it, the other person Sakura wouldnt answer. She was a little concerned, but she gave up as well.

But I was surprised too. I didnt think Lilia-san was Liliane Ardis.

No, normally anyone would easily notice it.

The prince said amazed, and Lilia reluctantly nodded with agreement. She groaned, because.

I wasnt born in this country. I cant help if I dont understand.
