Haunted Duke’s Daughter

Christel?

Are you surprised that Im here?

Oh, no! I beg your pardon!

Chris shook her head and left her seat.

Its getting noisy, isnt it? Ill go tofirst.

Miss Christel! Would you like to join us, if you dont mind?

At Tinas cheerful voice, Chris looked at Tina quizzically.

You didnt tell me what you were going to do.

Oh, thats right. Actually, I did.

Before you start, Tina.

The one who interrupted Tinas attempt to explain was none other than Lilia. Tina tilted her head to look at me, and then her smile hardened.

For now, come.

I tapped my finger on the table. A sound leaked from the ceiling. Sera gingerly kept her distance so that no one would notice.

SIm scared, Lilia.

Just for now, I ignore Sakuras words. Looking straight at Tina, I saw a small movement in Tinas throat.

Yes, yes

Tina stood in front of Lilia with a hesitant look on her face. Lilia gave a smile to Tina.

Tina Breha.

Yes!

Get permission first before you set up a rendezvous in someones room. Do you understand?

Yes! Sorry!

Tina nodded her head vigorously, and Lilia nodded in satisfaction.

Oh, my. Whats wrong?

My gaze landed on Ira and Katie. The two of them only smiled vaguely together. When I looked at Chris and Sera, she saw that their smiles had also tightened. I wondered what was wrong with them.

SIm not going to say anything else.But Lilia, lets hear what you want.

Sakura seemed to be convinced somehow, but it still bothered her.

Lets see.Do you want to go out for dinner?

Should I ask again?

Sure, lets go.

The moment I said that, Chris and Sera blinked at me for some reason. I threw them a look, wondering what it was this time.

I have occasionally heard that Miss Liliane has walked into the common dining room.

So it really was you, Liliane. I was surprised.

By the way, I hadnt told these two people, partly because I didnt think I needed to.

If thats the case, I cant go.

Chris said that with a bit of disappointment, and Tina tilted her head to see why. Chris laughed at that.

Im sure youre used to it with Lady Liliane but it is not desirable for us senior nobles to go to that side. It would make the others nervous.

Then Id better refrain, too.

No, Sera. I think youll be fine. Im well known in this school, for better or worse.

Chriss eyes turned to Lilia. She didnt say anything, but gently looked away. Lilia was definitely the cause of Chriss fame in the school. Apart from the prince, Chris was the only student who had a conflict with Liliane Aldis.

Oh, but the cafeteria is where you get your lunch, not where you actually eat it.

Where are we going to eat?

What? Well.Themy room?

I naturally sighed, thinking that I hadnt thought that much about the words that sounded so unsure of myself. Tina hurriedly said.

No one ever comes to my room, so I thought it would be a good idea to get together with everyone, you know!

You dont have to be so hasty with your excuses.

I looked at Chris with a wry smile and saw that she had a difficult expression on her face. The people on the second floor had gotten used to Lilia, but as expected, if Chris went there, it would cause a commotion again. Chris must have known that.

SI think we should do it here.

Lilia nodded at Sakuras voice.

Tina, is it possible for someone else to go and get lunch?

What? Yes. Its probably okay.

Okay. Alisa, can you go and get some for me?

When I nominated Alisa, she nodded immediately, as if she had been expecting it. She quickly placed her things on the table and left the room.

Hey, when did you

Alia looked at the table with her mouth half open. There were enough cups filled with tea for everyone.

Werent you listening to the conversation?

Katie asked curiously, which made Lilia a little happy for some reason, and her cheeks relaxed.

My maid is excellent.

Lady Liliane, would you like to trade for my maid?

Absolutely not.

She could tell that Chris wasnt serious, so Lilia quickly returned to her posture, snickering.

SI know its a good thing, but I feel like Im being treated like an object.

Such a small murmur from Sakura was inaudible to Lilia.

While we were all drinking tea, Alisa returned with enough boxes for everyone. She dexterously opened the door and walked in. Tina, Alia, and Katie saw this and rushed to help.

Was it too bad to let her go alone?

If we help, people will make a fuss again. We have no choice.

While we were talking, the lunch box was placed on the table.

Thank you, Alisa. Good work.

If its inconvenient Ill move it to another place.

No problem, its fine like this.

She bowed and took a few steps back.
