Haunted Duke’s Daughter

Lilia, do you want to eat with me?

Lilia couldnt help but giggle at the box of strawberry daifuku.

Yes. Thank you, Tina.

I felt misunderstood to the extent that I couldnt cover the fact that my favorite food was strawberry Daifuku, but since Sakura was happy, I gave up inwardly and accepted it.

By the way, Sakura is humming in a good mood, as usual.

We ate some strawberry daifuku that Tina had brought along on the way, and continued rocking the carriage. Eventually, a little after noon, we arrived at the Aldis family mansion.

Wow..Big.

That was the first thing Tina said when she saw it. Her mouth gaped open, exposing her stunned face. When Lilia cleared her throat, Tina hurriedly closed her mouth.

Come on, lets go in.

She opened the heavy door and tried to enter.

I just closed it.

Lilia, whats wrong?

In response to Tinas question, Lilia was silent. If you look closely, you can see that her cheeks are drawn together, but Tina is behind Lilia, so she cant tell.

LSakura. What was that? Im hallucinating, arent I?

SIm afraid its real. I think it was your father since he was excited that Lilia was bringing home a friend.

Lilia held her temples to keep her headache at bay and sighed loudly. She turned back to Tina, who was tilting her head curiously, and said

Tina, what you are about to see is not a normal scene. Its definitely different.

What? I dont understand..

Lilia turned to the door, then opened it and stepped inside.

Welcome back, Miss Liliane!

At the welcoming words of dozens of servants Lilias cheeks tugged and Tina rolled her eyes in surprise. Several servants gathered around and took Tinas luggage, saying they would take it to her room.

Lunch is ready. This way, please.

Then the servants led Lilia and Tina into the dining room.

A sumptuous lunch was lined up on the dining room table. Some of the plates were empty, but they understood when they looked behind the table. A simple kitchen facility had been set up and two cooks were waiting. Lilia gave the cooks a dumbfounded look, and they both chuckled.

Come in.

The servant led me to a seat. I looked at Tina and saw that she had gone pale.

Tina. Are you nervous by any chance?

Oh, ha-ha.Im really nervous.

The cook begins to cook the thick meat. We can tell from the meat that it is high quality. Lilia couldnt think of anything to say, and Tina opened her mouth stupidly.

Lilia, what do I do?

What?

I dont have any money. I dont know what to do.

Lilia sighed and waved her hand.

Dont worry about it. Youve come all this way, so enjoy it.

Is it okay?

Its okay.

When Lilia said this, Tina was still fidgeting. She couldnt bring herself to say anything else, so Lilia waited for the food.

Many dishes were laid out, including a thick steak, and we ate them all.

I should have eaten the strawberry daifukulater.

Lilia nodded silently at Tinas pained words. Sakura was the only one who seemed happy, and that annoyed her more than a little.

LSakura.

SHmm? What is it?

LJust remember.

SWhat? I mean, why are you thinking of green peppers? No, dont eat the peppers!

Ignoring Sakuras screams, Lilia stood up in a panic. Tina stood up as well, tilting her head.

Welcome back, Lilia and welcome Tina-san.

The two of them turned at the sound of the voice. The man there was Kelvin Aldis, Lilias father.

Wow.Good looking

What? Tina is into that?

I stared at my fathers figure intently. He has a muscular, toned body and a somewhat well-rounded face. The teeth peeking out from his smile are white and even seem to be shining.

Yeah. Hmm

What? Hey, Lilia, why are you leaving? Lilia!

Tina started to get upset, and Lilia gradually distanced herself from her. As he watched them smilingly, Kelvin noticed something.

What? So, that means that Lilia, you know, Im..

My father collapses from his knees, hands on the floor, dejected. Lilia didnt say anything since she is busy with Tina.

. Whats going on?

The clamor continued until my brother walked in.
