Chapter 59 (1/2)

Prince Once Again⑦

Brother is on my mind and my eyes are wandering there.

”You look as if you have seen something unbelievable, Lillinsama”

Alek-sama says with interest.

Well yeah, it's this brother of mine?

He can't even knock properly, entertaining young ladies with conversation is impossible!

”Yes, I was a little surprised. It is… the first time I have seen elder brother surrounded by women…”

”Haha, captain attracts eyes if he stays silent. Well, once you realize what's inside you will usually back off.”

Ah, after all it's like that.

That means for now, none of those young ladies know brother much.

Yeah, our Sana won't lose to those who only see such face.

I got careless selfishly getting excited when I was called from behind.

”Lillina!”

Yes?

Ah~~, it's not one of my companions.

”Catherine! Rosalind! It's been a while.”

”Jeez! It's been a while, that's not it. We were worried since no letter arrived.”

Both are angry, but they seem to have worried about me.

So many things happened I forgot to write a letter…

”I am sorry. There were lots of things happening and I couldn't write a letter.”

Those two smiled saying~ 'it can't be helped'

Thank you~~

”Ah, that's right, there's a child who wants to meet Lillina”

Meet me?

Huh? Who wants to?

Looks like Catherine called for someone.

A young lady appeared from the crowd.

I've seen her before, but we never spoke.

Then this child comes to me… Eh? Sobbing?

I was surprised at the sudden incident.

At this rate it'll look as if I made her cry.

Then Catherine gave me a helping hand.

”Look here, why are you crying when you can finally meet her. Didn't you have something to say?”

She finally stopped her tears thanks to Catherine's words and started talking.

”Ah, it is the first time I am talking with you, Lillinsan. I am Ilya of the Cardinal Earl house. Ah, that is, actually I… Uuu, sniffle.

Oh, she's in tears again.
