CH 14

As soon as His Highness Alfred came to our house, my sister Miri made a mistake and came after him, which sent chills down the spines of both my parents and me.

This is the first time. My parents shouted and forced my sister to leave…

After that, we asked his highness to go to an accommodation for dignitaries in the royal capital without even greeting him, leaving us in a strange atmosphere because he was probably tired from the long trip.

Today, I had another dinner with His Highness Alfred at a restaurant in the Royal Capital.

“I am sorry for my sister Miri’s misbehavior yesterday.”

I apologized to His Royal Highness Prince Alfred for my sister’s rudeness yesterday.

I don’t think I did anything to warrant an apology.

But the atmosphere there was terrible, and I am sure that His Highness was very uncomfortable, so I could not help but bow my head.

“I was surprised, it’s true, but I was wrong too. I had let my discomfort show through. It seems that I was tired without realizing it.”

Fortunately, His Highness Alfred forgave Miri.

I was relieved to hear him say that he was sorry himself.

I can’t take advantage of His Highness’ goodwill, but it seems that he is not really angry with me.

“But Mirim, right? Is she all right? She’s Leanhardt-kun’s fiancée, which means she’s a future duchess. Did she do something wrong in public?”

In a serious tone, His Highness Alfred asked me if Miri had done something terrible in public.

Yes, she had. I suppose you can’t blame him for thinking so, given the way she’s acting…

A duchess in the future — and as far as His Highness is concerned, it doesn’t look good.

In the past, Miri has been rude to her superiors, and I have been on edge every time.

She’s never been as rude as he was the other day, though.

For this reason, I have warned them several times.

But Milim’s looks and charm made her tolerable in many ways. My parents told me that she would be fine when she grew up, so they left her alone.
