Haunted Duke’s Daughter

Chapter 236



A6 Relationship between the two · Tina; 2

For Tina, Lilia is a special friend. They may be closer to each other than Isla and Katin, who have been dating longer than Lilia. Normally, if I think about it, contacts can’t even occur, but when I realized it, it was a pattern that I could call my best friend.

Because we have also become known to be close to Lilia, or these days we have more and more opportunities to deal with other senior aristocrats as well. However, all of them were those whose lower hearts seemed clear about getting Lilia to remember better through Tina.

That’s why I realize it’s easy to talk to those who can’t have such a lower heart. Ira and Katyn naturally do, as do the men in front of them.

Cross Aldis, Lilia’s real brother. I became acquainted with him when he stayed at the Ardis family mansion, and since then he has met and talked many times. What I know when I talk to you is that I care about Lilia. I feel a little envious for Tina without her brothers.

“Mr. Tina. I especially recommend this stew.”

“Really?… Oh, really, it’s so delicious!

“Right?

Recently, Cross contacted me asking if I could see him on holiday. I’m sure you want to hear about Lilia, I’ve always agreed to meet her this way. I’m sorry it’s a treat every time, but Cross always laughed and told me not to worry.

Every time we meet, we talk less about Lilia. By now, I was rather often asked about myself. I’m a little confused about the purpose of the cross.

No. To be honest, maybe I care about myself, or something like that, but I immediately denied the idea. Exactly. This idea would be called complacency. But if that’s the case, I’d be happy to, but I’m embarrassed to ask, so I can’t put it in my mouth.

“Mr. Tina, by the way. Have you seen His Highness at school lately?

Cross question. I still seem to be concerned about Lilia’s surroundings. Tina shook her head, deciding not to listen to the excess.

“No, I haven’t seen you lately. If you are exchanging letters, we continue to do so.”

“Hmm. A letter.”

“Yes, I know this isn’t a very good thing either…”

“No, I hope you don’t mind. If you think about it temporarily, you should admit it if it’s just a letter.”

That said, Cross got eyes like he saw some distant object.

“There is no one related to Lilia today who tries to move on and get involved. There will be no one to say anything about the extent of the exchange of letters”

From its eyes and tone, it seems to be struggling. I guess there’s a lot going on about the Great Spirit that suddenly appeared. It’s something Tina doesn’t understand.

“Mr. Tina, by the way. Will there still be time after this?

“Huh? Yes, it’s a day, I don’t have any plans…”

“That was good. Can you hang out with me for a while after this?

Tina’s heart rattled at that word of Cross’s smile. I tell myself not to get it wrong, and somehow I smile.

“It’s okay.”

“Okay. Then I want you to show me the south side. I want to know what kind of store there is. Tina knows where Lilia goes a lot.”

After all, it’s about Lilia. I get a little jealous of Lilia, but I shook my head saying that was a missed door. Besides, as far as talking to Lilia, apparently Lilia thinks Cross hates Lilia. If I recall that, the cross just seemed a little pitiful.

“Mr. Cross. Good luck.”

“What? What’s going on all of a sudden?

It didn’t seem to make sense, and Cross tilted his neck. Tina smiled small again without saying anything.

Cross seems to just want to know about Lilia, but because of this, he’ll be able to entertain me this time. For Tina, dating, things like that make me just a little excited. I don’t think he’s going to do that.

“Well, let’s go”

That’s what I’m saying, Cross stands up and offers his hand to Tina. Tina took his hand.

At that moment, I felt something, uncomfortable. View the table next door. There’s nothing left, no one’s in the seat.

“What’s up?

“No, it’s nothing”

I guess it’s my fault, Tina laughed, leaving the store behind with Cross.

With Tina, Cross walks down the south side of the street. Under her guidance, she tours the stores Lilia often uses. I heard about it in the report, but when I look around again like this, I realize Lilia has really changed.

For Cross, family is more important than anything else. I have a hobby of collecting good swords, but that hobby also originally started because I wanted a weapon to protect my family. So much so, I can say that the heart of the world for Cross is family.

Among other things, Lilia is still special. He used to admire me unconditionally, such as desperately following behind himself, his brother. There’s no way Lilia is cute like that.

Lilia, who grew up as a senior nobleman’s courtier, was truly surprised when she brought a friend of the baron’s courtier. And it’s not that we can’t force ourselves, and I know very well that we think we’re special friends with each other when we watch Tina. That, as my brother, is very pleasant.

Tina and I were starting to meet regularly. To exchange information. Cross has taught each other what he has done so far, Tina has taught each other in school. These conversations were so fresh because until now I had only had them with my parents.

While we were talking about it that way, we also gradually understood Tina. She was a very kind girl.

“Ah, Mr. Cross, looks like Lilia goes to that confectionery shop a lot. However, I think it’s more like Sakura-sama’s preference than Lilia’s…”

“Hmm…… Shall I buy it?”

Buy a pack from the store owner and walk again. Tina also bought the same thing as Cross. They’re going to eat with their friends.

When would Tina herself have started to attract me? I can’t recall it clearly. When I realized it, I was starting to look forward to spending the day with Tina.

But Cross is a senior aristocrat and Tina is a lower aristocrat. It’s a thought that’s not supposed to come true, something that shouldn’t be shaped. Now he can’t laugh at the prince or anything, and Cross mocks himself with his heart.

“Mr. Cross, what’s wrong?

Tina leans her neck strangely and asks this way. Apparently he was on the look on his face at some point. Cross shook his head that it was nothing and decided to enjoy the rest of his shopping with Tina.

If you’re in unfulfilled love, you have to seal it deep in your heart. Do not expose your mind and involve someone. It’s something I should suppress myself.

But at least not now. Just a little more, you can have fun.

Cross told his mind as he walked next to Tina.
