It was rough for a while after reading the letter, but it seems everyone settled down.
As I was waiting for that, grandfather spoke to me.
"Lillina, I was thinking, do you want to go on a little trip with us?"
Traveling with grandparents?
Does that mean the journey to ensure demons won't appear?
…S, sounds fun!
Because I've never been on a trip, and because I can get out of this mess.
Perhaps Leon-sama and Sumire-sama will marry while I'm travelling.
"I want to go!"
My voice betrayed my emotions.
But I feel it's for the best.
However, Chris-sama didn't take my answer silently.
"Please wait. Are you going to take Lillina? A different country, no way… Got it, I'm going with you…"
"That's no good."
Chris-sama's was interrupted by Soul-san who started carefully choosing words.
"Please don't say you'll certainly follow her. There are some problems in our country that haven't yet been solved, some of them only Chris-sama can tackle. No matter how much you love Lillinsama, it's reckless to go on a journey."
"But, but…"
"But, but, no buts! To begin with, the demons settled down, let's quietly return home."
Soul-san is on the offensive.
It's not a thing you can usually do when opposing Chris-sama.
As Sana was looking at them with sidelong glance, she spoke to me.
"Lillinsama, of course you will take me as your attendant?"
Sana said with an unusually earnest tone.
Yes, of course I want you to follow me, but what does grandfather think?
Brother is acting suspiciously after hearing what Sana said.
He's moving back and forth and muttering something with a serious face.
Now, what is he saying… 'You're going to follow Lillina? And it's unknown when you'll come back. More than anything, if she's not within my reach a possibility of strange guys coming close with increase…. That's bad, extremely bad. What should I do? Quit being the captain? But if I do that, she may hate me. Ah, it's useless. I don't want Sana to look at me with cold eyes. Ah, what should I do~~.'
He's muttering such things endlessly.
… Alright! Let's leave him be.
Shortly after, Allen-kun and Ange-sama came close with anxious expressions.
"Ah, um, Lillinoneesama… Can, we go with you?"
Ange-sama looks like she's about to cry.
"Lillinsama, I, no, we will absolutely not disturb your travels, so… we want to go with you."
Allen-kun appealed to me with an uneasy expression.
Yes, I did say I want to go on a trip carelessly, but I didn't consider the three who always support me.
… It's no use thinking of it by myself.
Anyway, let's ask grandfather.
"Grandfather, I do desire to go on a journey, would you allow me to bring those three who have supported me until now?"
"Hmm, if possible I would prefer to go with as few people as possible… Yes, those three would be fine. It seems they're strong enough to protect themselves, and above all, they seem to understand Lillina well."
Grandfather looked at the three and said so.
Hooray!
I got grandfather's permission~~.
A smiled returned to their faces thanks to grandfather's answer.
"I'm sorry I made everyone anxious by arbitrarily deciding to go on a journey. But it's tremendous help if you three come with me."
However, Chris-sama, who was quarrelling with Soul-san, stormed here.
"Lillina… Are you really going on a trip? … I should abandon my title as a prince and become your retainer."
I heard a dangerous statement.
"Prince Chris, calm down for the time being. I did say I would take Lillina on a trip, but I haven't mentioned the destination yet. I'm thinking of showing Lillina the western country first. The king also said he'd like to meet Lillina once. Only then I considered going to another country."
Grandfather told Chris-sama such a thing.
So the destination of the first trip is the western country.
I've never been close to it though.
I know it's a big country.
Well, I learned a lot in queen education.
"Then Lillina will visit my country. I'm so glad, I don't mind if Lillina settles down there. I'll prepare a house."
Chris, who's in a good mood, is saying such a thing merrily.
But the twins' mood turned sour from that remark.
Yup, it's unlikely either's mood will improve.
And on the side brother is looking downcast.
I'm sorry, I'm taking Sana.
