The news arrived the next day after I met Chris-sama.
Right now, we are all staring at the letter lying at the table.
In this place there's me, Sana, Allen-kun, Ange-sama, brother, Alek-sama, moreover grandfather, grandmother, mother, also Chris-sama with his attendants Ryan-san and Soul-san.
A letter arrived from the Royal Capital this morning.
The problem is the sender.
The senders are both Leon-sama and Sumire-sama.
What on earth is it?
""Let's burn it!""
The twins suggest first.
No, it's confirmed the letter's been received, so burning it won't help.
"Can't we bury it?"
Sana… Fundamentally, that's not a solution.
For the time being, I'm not going to open it with everyone around.
"Now, it's already troublesome, so why not just read it?"
Brother is getting bored.
However, even though it's just an off-hand remark, it may be the fastest method.
By the way, it's addressed to me…
"Hmm, we're just wasting time like this. As Ricardo said it may be the fastest to just open it. Lillina, since it's addressed to you, please read it first."
Sigh, it can't be helped…
Let's see?
I broke the seal as everyone's eyes gathered.
What's inside… yes?
There were two envelopes.
Apparently, they're from Leon-sama and Sumire-sama.
Which one should I open first?
Let's read the one I grabbed first… Looks like it's from Leon-sama.
'Dear Lillina,
When I heard you had headed for a place full of demons I thought my heart would break.
However, before I could go help Lillina, the elites of mighty knights stood in my way.
I could not go help you after all. I am sincerely sorry.
After that, I came to realize again that you are important to me.
Even if my memory does not come back, my heart seeks you.
Lillina, I really want to go pick you up, but I cannot leave.
Would you come back to the Royal Capital?
I want to talk with you more.
I understand that I have a new fiancée, but I find it unacceptable.
Lillina, I cannot think of anything except you.
I am sure as a prince I am wrong, but I believe I will regret it if I get married without saying anything.
Thus, filled with shame, I decided to send this letter.
I am waiting for you in the Royal Capital.
Leon.'
…
I read the letter and stiffened.
Grandfather became suspicious of my state, without saying anything he took the letter from my hand.
And then…
Bzzt bzzt!!
The letter was torn in two.
A~~ah, he did.
And he's now attempting to set it on fire.
Brother is putting the letter back together while grandmother and mother who don't know the content are desperately stopping grandfather.
After restoration, everyone's reading it.
Something's embarrassing.
Although it's not a letter I've written, I'm slightly resistant since it's addressed to me.
The reactions after reading are as follows.
Sana, Allen-kun, and Ange-sama are rushing to dispose of the letter again.
Meanwhile, grandmother and mother are insisting that it should be saved for the future use.
Chris-sama… Ah, huh, the black aura from before has appeared again!
Ryan-san and Soul-san are desperately trying to calm him down.
What's with this situation…
Leon-sama's letter alone caused such a fuss.
I wonder what's written in Sumire-sama's letter.
I'm terrified of opening it.
'To Lillinsan,
Apparently, you have already exterminated monsters.
There was a report from my ninja.
It seems it was resolved because of the ninja's help.
I would like you to thank me.
Now that the demon extermination is over, should you not come to the Royal Capital soon?
You are disqualified as a vassal if you cannot do such a thing.
You owe me my help, of course you can come to greet me, right?
It seems that were are no victims, so I recommend that you come and report in a hurry.
Sumire.'
…
This time it's mother who took the letter from stiffened me.
And before grandfather had a chance to destroy it, everyone read it.
As usual, the three competed to tear the letter into pieces.
Their faces are… awfully scary.
But the mother who acted first hid the letter in her pocket.
With an amazing smile.
That doesn't reach her eyes.
At that moment, Chris-sama's aide, Soul-san, who kept silent until now, muttered.
"Hey, is there something strange about the prince and princess of this country?"
Ah~, yes, unfortunately it's hard to deny that.
But the princess isn't a princess of this country.
