CH 109

What I felt when I heard from Fara was sadness for Eltia.

The education Fara had received.

The words that her father had passed on to her.

Eltia's disownment of her.

Overall, I don't know what Eltia's true intentions are.

But I don't think she is doing this out of hatred for Fara.

Rather, it is the opposite, isn't it?　

Perhaps, I feel that the secret agreement has a lot to do with it.

But I am sure that Fara does not know about the secret agreement.

I was lost in thought about what she had told me."

" I am sorry, Master Rid. I'm sorry for taking your time to listen to my doubts about my mother. ......"

"What?　I'm sorry. Don't worry about it. As I said before, she is going to be my mother-in-law."

Fara was smiling happily at my words.

I was looking at her smile and thinking that I wanted to do something about her relationship with Eltia as well.

At that time, I heard a soldier's voice from outside the room.

"Prince Lacis would like to see you, Master Rid. May he come in?"

I was "startled" by the soldier's unexpected mention of name, and my face turned pale.

I was reminded of what he had said to me the other day when I was dressed as a maid.

"...... something happened between you and my brother, ...... Master ...... Rid?"

"⁉ No, nothing at all⁉"

Fara seemed to be suspicious of my facial expression and asked me a question as if she was suspicious of me.

I answered in a slightly suspicious manner.

"Then, would it be all right if my brother came to see you?"

"Yes, ...... it's fine."

Fara still looked doubtful at my reply, but she replied to the soldier outside.

Soon after, Lacis came into the room.

'Fara, I'm sorry to bother you so suddenly."

Then, as if to stop him, she said to him outside the room.

"I will hate you if you come here today."

"Fara⁉ That's an exaggeration......."

Before Lacis' plaintive voice could reach her, the sliding door to the room was closed by Fara.

She returned to where she had been sitting earlier, looked at me, coughed, and then said,

"I'm not going to let you give Rid-sama to my brother,......"

"I'm only interested in Farah and she's the only one I care about."

"......⁉"

"Oh ......'

Hearing my words, Farah blushed and turned her head down with her ears going up and down.

I, too, blushed and turned over, realizing the meaning of my words.

'No, I'm fine.'

"hope you are feeling better now, Master Rid?　I was not able to make it when I came to see you the other day. I have been wanting to tell you for a long time how sorry I am for my rudeness in the Match and to thank you for your kindness. Thank you so much . ......"

Lacis greeted Fara lightly and then bowed to me, spinning her words in quick succession.

"No, no, there were many circumstances involved, and I am fine now that you have apologized to me. Besides, you don't have to be so formal since you will become my brotherin law if you proceed with the talk with Princess Fara:"

"Umm, hmm. Well, then I'll take your word for it."

I am not angry with him anymore.

However, I feel that I have some sense of bitterness toward him because of the incident.

When he heard my response, he quickly changed his language.

He then broached a topic that I didn't want him to touch.

"Master Rid, do you know that you have a lovely maid named 'Tia' in your place?"

......

⁉ "Miaster Rid, are you all right?　Are you still in bad shape?"

"..... no, nothing of the sort."

The name "Tia" was mentioned and I coughed.

Lacis is rubbing my back while looking at me with a worried expression.

"What's wrong with this 'Tia' person, brother?"

I looked at the owner of the voice and saw Fara with a firm expression on her face.

I feel that her expression and atmosphere is similar to Eltia's.

". I'm the maid who was also in Fara room yesterday, don't you remember?"

'I remember ....... Do you also remember Asuna?"

'　Of course I remember. ......"

Asuna, who had been standing behind Fara from a while ago, was suddenly shaken by Fara and answered.

I think she glanced at me then.

After hearing the two reply, Lacis blushed a little and seemed to be in the mood to say something.

"Don't say such a thing to the two of us.'

"You should keep your feelings secret.　"

He said, unaware of my feelings.

'...... apparently I fell in love at first sight with that Tia,....... I talked to my mother about it, and she assured me that it was love at first sight."

"!?"

Asuna suddenly swooned at Lacis's unexpected words.

The actuality of this is that the actuality of this is not really a problem.

What's wrong even Asuna?　Isn't there something wrong with the air?

, "Yes, it's true. The air in this room may certainly not be 'good one ' .

" By the way, brother, what happened to that 'Tia' you fell in love with at first sight?"

Fara's words are as cold and dismissive as ever.

Eltia and Fara had definitely made me feel that they are parent and child.

Lacis replied to Fara's words as if to reply.

"I actually wanted to see her again yesterday. I went to the guest house and was able to see her. I was wondering when I would have a chance to see her again, so I confessed my feelings to her."

"So, you confessed your feelings to "Tia". And how did she respond?"

"Mm. I was rejected. She seems to like you, Master Rid."

"⁉"

I and Asuna both coughed at the same time.

Lacis, whether it's me or not, in front of the person in question. I don't think that's the right thing to say.

Lacis looked at me with a dubious expression on her face and said.

'What's wrong with you two?　Are you sure the air in this room is safe?　Fara, shall I warn the maid of honor to clean up properly?"

" I'll make sure to give them a good warning. I'll make sure to give them a good warning."

"Oh, really?　I hope so. ......"

Fara's eyes were not smiling.

The composition of a sister being told that her brother has confessed to the man who will be the sister's husband is spread out between her eyes.

Maybe I should say something, but I don't even know what to say.

Asuna is lying on her face as if enduring something.

Is it at least a relief that Farah knows everything and Lacis knows nothing?　

In the midst of all this, Reicis looked at me and said.

'Mister Rid, I'm sorry to be pathetic, but I have a favor to ask of you."

".....⁉ What kind of favor, ......?"

I flinched inwardly at his passionate gaze, but when I replied frantically, he continued.

'The truth is, when I confessed to Tia, she told me that she would not approve of me unless I was stronger than Rid. Of course, I had always intended to challenge Rid's challenge again someday. If I were to challenge you again, and if I were able to beat you, I would really appreciate your support for my relationship with Tia. ...... ."

"......Well, that's a matter between the two of you, so ...... it's hard for me to do anything about it. Besides, I unfortunately don't know anyone called Tia."

I was desperately trying to find a way out of it .

Fara is looking at me and our exchange with a cold look in her eyes.

Asuna is still lying on her face and shaking her shoulders

"I'm glad to hear you say that.. Also, please take care of Tia for me. ......"

Brother, please don't do this to me.

Lacis said to my words as if he had just remembered.

"Mister Rid doesn't know her?　But I am sure that Lady Diana was there at that time. If you ask her, she should be able to tell you. I would like you to ask her about Tia. ...... ."

"I'll ask her next time. "

At this point, I was really glad that Deanna was not here.

I thought it was meddlesome, but what I did for her was not in vain.

The mercy is not for everyone.

Fara, who had been watching and listening to the exchange between me and Lacis, said coldly and dismissively

"Rid-sama, as a candidate for marriage, is here today to deepen our relationship. If you are apologizing for your rudeness the other day, I have nothing to say. However, if you wish to talk about your love life, I would like to ask you to leave it for another time. I suggest you leave us for today."

The atmosphere of awesomeness from Fara made Lacis flinch and cough as she said, "

" I apologize again for my rudeness the other day, Mister Rid."

"Oh, no, really, it's all right now. ......"

When Lacis was about to tell me about Tia, Fara covered her voice with anger.

Then Farah stood up and pushed Lacis back and forced him out of the room.

Then, as if to stop him, she said to him outside the room.
