Haunted Duke’s Daughter

Your Highness.

Lilia pasted a smile on her face to the prince. The prince seemed to be wary of Lilia for a while, but then swallowed his gulp and gave her a mending smile.

You surprised me with your sudden appearance. What do you want?

I have something very, very important to tell you.

Perhaps sensing the anger in Lilias voice, the prince nodded, his cheeks tugging.

Lets hear it. You may enter.

The prince gave her permission, so Lilia entered the room.

The room was not so different from Lilias room. There were a lot of chairs and tables, probably because there were a lot of visitors, but other than that, there was nothing different. Lilia threw her gaze to the corner of the room and bowed her head, though her eyebrows furrowed suspiciously.

Its been a while, Mr. Glenn.

No, I think we see each other every morning, dont we?

In the corner of the room was one of Lilias classmates, a male student with fiery red hair, Glenn Crescendo. He was supposed to be the princes bodyguard after graduating from the school, and was said to be as skilled with a sword as any adult.

Glenn smiled weakly at Lilia.

Liliane, Im afraid of your face. Please stop.

Im sorry. To be honest, its all I can do to control this anger. Or would Master Glenn be able to take it for me?

His Highness is there, so dont hit me.

Glenn?

The prince, who had been wonderfully betrayed, shouted in surprise and then slowly moved his gaze toward Lilia. When Lilia smiled at him, the prince took a step back.

Yes, anger. Lets hear it.

Please look at this.

Lilia placed the invitation she had received from Tina on the table in the center of the room. The prince looked at it and tilted his head. Glenn came over to look at it as well.

This is the invitation I sent to Tina, isnt it? Why do you have it?

No, wait a minute! You sent it?

The prince looked at Glenn with a puzzled look on his face.

Of course I sent it. Otherwise I wouldnt be able to see Tina.

OhSo thats whatis all about. Lady Lilia has every right to be angry.

Lilia was surprised by these words. What he just said must mean that Glenn had a sane mind. At least he wasnt as stupid as the prince.

SThere are decent people here.

LSo how did this happen?

When Lilia glared at Glenn for an explanation, he let out a pathetic scream and interrupted the prince. The prince protested, but Glenn looked unconcerned.

I know exactly what Lady Lilia is angry about. A baron family of low rank is invited to an evening party hosted by the royal family. Even a fool like me can imagine what will happen.

But, you know, Glenn said, looking all sorts of discerning.

Hes even dumber than me when it comes to love.

Hey.

Yes, sir. Im aware of that.

The princes face turned into a sullen scowl, and Lilia who saw it raised her eyebrows. Glenn quietly left the scene.

Your Highness.

What?

Sit down there.

Lilia then pointed to the floor in front of her. Not a chair, but the floor. As a matter of course, the prince glared at Lilia, wondering what she was talking about.

Do you have a problem with that?

No, no.Nothing.

Seeing Lilias smile, he sat there quietly. The prince looked around as if to ask for help, but the servants who were gathered in a corner of the room, shivering. Not even the soldiers were willing to come into the room.

Your Highness, no one is going to help you. You deserve whats coming to you, so youd better meekly accept Lady Lilias wrath. Dont worry, Ill pick up your bones.

Wait a minute, Glenn. At least stay by my side.

Well then, Lady Lilia. Dont be shy.

Glenn gently stepped back. The princes face was stained with despair, and the thunder of Liliane Aldis struck.

Under the cherry tree, Sakura was laughing so hard that she was hitting the ground repeatedly.

Hahaha! Hihi!

Outside, Lilias lightning still continued to strike. I looked around and saw Glenn, the servants and the soldiers shivering in the corner.

Hmm, hahaha! I know how you feel. Im scared, this is really scary!

Lilias anger is basically quiet. Quietly, with a smile, she makes the other person shrink. It seems that even Lilia can explode when she gets really angry. Its a good discovery.

I told you before, didnt I? I told you to think about Tina-san! Think about the people around you!

Lilias thunder continued and Sakura felt a little nostalgic as she listened to it.

Much of what Lilia said was what Sakura had said to Lilia. She seemed to have remembered it well. She was honestly happy about that.

Its going well.

Sakura was laughing as she listened to Lilias angry voice.

There was no one watching Sakura, only the thin black device in her hand illuminated her.

Oh.Okay, well, I understand.Looks like I was wrong about.

When Lilia regained her composure and took a breath, the prince, who had been released for the time being, sat deep in his chair and sighed long and hard.

Looking at the prince, she felt that she had gone a little too far, but there was no regret and no remorse. She just followed her feelings and acted accordingly. Lilia herself can be said to be the same as always.

SFor your friends, thats where you always change.

At Sakuras teasing tone, Lilia made a Buddhas face. The prince in front of her tensed up, but she didnt care.
