CH 48

The royal palace is divided into a royal residential area and a general area for government affairs.

I haven’t been to the main residence since I visited His Majesty King Leroy, who suffered from the infectious disease.

At 10 a.m., I was guided by Gresis-sama and visited a room in the main residence.

“Gresis, Lilith, thank you for coming. I’m happy because I didn’t have a chance to talk slowly with Lilith.”

The first prince, His Highness Timir, greeted me in a gentle tone with a smile.

“Thank you for the invitation Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

I bow like a lady.

“Won’t you call me Timir-oniisama?”

He looked lonely.

“Yes, Timir-oniisama.”

“That’s fine, Lilith.”

His Highness Timir nodded a lot, and he was in a better mood immediately.

“Don’t stand there, have a seat.”

The second prince, His Highness Frair, pulled out a chair.

“Thank you very much, Frair-oniisama.”

His Highness Frair looks satisfied.

“Why are you guys sitting next to Lilith?”

Gresis-sama quickly pointed out to my brothers-in-law who were quickly seated on both sides of me.

“Unlike Gresis, we don’t have enough friendship with Lilith, so this is good.”

“Jealous men will be hated.”

Having gave up after being told by the two of them, Gresis-sama sighed and sat down opposite me.

I can see Gresis-sama’s face in front of me, so I don’t think it’s bad even in this seat.

“Um, here is souvenir cookies. If you don’t mind, please go ahead.”

Before I forgot, I gave the box of cookies to Prince Timir.

“Thank you. Shall we eat it right away?”

The maid, who responded to Prince Timir’s words, took the box of cookies and left the room.

After a while, tea and cookies on a plate were brought.

If the plate is good, handmade cookies also look high-class.

“Isn’t it nice to have a souvenir? I’m quite picky about taste, but please don’t be offended.”

His Highness Frair has a cheerful tone, and he is the type to say what he thinks honestly.

But I don’t hate it.

His Highness Flail and His Highness Timir immediately put cookies in their mouths.

I got a guarantee of the taste from Gresis-sama, but I’m still nervous.

“It’s good. I like the crispy feeling.”

“That’s true. I didn’t know there could be such a difference between cookies.”

“It was made by Lilith.”

After confirming the reaction of the two people, Gresis-sama explained.

“Does the princess make cookies!?”

Both of them had exactly the same reaction as Gresis-sama.

Even if they look different, brothers are still alike.

I was relieved that the cookies were popular with both of them.

When I looked at Gresis-sama with relief, he nodded as if to say it was good.

“By the way, Lilith, how is your life with Gresis? Is there any inconvenience?”

I was asked by His Highness Timir.

“I am doing very well.”

“That’s good. I don’t want you to be offended, but I’ve heard a rumor that Lilith is cheating recently.”

“Cheating?”

I have no idea.

“It seems that you gave a handmade yellow ribbon only to the assistant commander of the Royal Monster Subjugation Unit.”

“That’s a misunderstanding. That’s a gift to all the knights.”

Gresis-sama immediately denied it and explained the culture of handing over the ribbon of the Kingdom of Seiran.

“There are more than a hundred, right? It’s amazing that you made that many ribbons.”

“Well, if it’s a Lilith, unlike us, it’s possible.”

His Highness Timir, who is surprised, and His Highness Frair, who analyzes calmly. Even brothers have completely different personalities.

“Because of that, we returned safely. At the time of the celebration, I went around collecting the ribbons, but I failed to collect Agar’s ribbon. My friends asked me if he was the only one who escaped the collection. Someone must have misunderstood what I was talking about.”

It’s the first time I’ve heard that Gresis-sama was collecting the ribbons.

“I’ve already collected that ribbon.”

“Isn’t it because of Gresis? Don’t do anything confusing.”

His Highness Timir is stunned.

“Well, it’s okay if there’s nothing wrong. If you don’t grasp it here, you won’t be able to defend it. Besides, my child has just been born, and I don’t want my wife to worry unnecessarily.”

I just found out for the first time that Prince Timir is married.

“Timir-oniisama, did you have a baby? Congratulations.”

“Huh? I should have told Gresis, but haven’t you heard?”

His Highness Timir looks at Gresis-sama.

“I think I heard it, but I forgot to tell Lilith.”

Gresis-sama seems to have remembered it now.

“Gresis, that face, I didn’t plan to say it.”

His Highness Frair seems to see through it, and he is thrusting into Gresis-sama with a stunned face.

His Highness Timir told me with a wry smile.

“Four children were born.”

“It’s rare to have quadruplets.”

When I was surprised, His Royal Highness Frair caught me.

“Not really. Beast people usually give birth to three or six children at a time. We also had the same birthday, the first came out in the order of Timir, then me, and finally Gresis. It’s called the first prince, but it can be said that we are all the first prince. That’s why everyone has the right to succeed to the throne, but Gresis and I declined.”

“Is that so?”

I didn’t think that all of the princes were born on the same day.

“Lilith, are you interested in baby beastmen?”

There was something in the way Prince Timir said it.

“Is there any difference from a human baby?”

“You’ll understand when you see it. If you don’t mind, would you like to come and see it now?”

“Is it okay so suddenly?”

“I have work to do, so if you’ll excuse me. Lilith, let’s continue to hold tea parties regularly in the future.”

“Yes, Frair-oniisma, good luck with your work. I’m looking forward to working with you again.”

Prince Frair, with a gentle smile, touched my shoulder and left his seat.

“Shall we go too?”

After being told by His Highness Timir, Gresis-sama and I also got up from our seats and walked after His Highness Timir.

The fingers of Gresis-sama, who came next to me, were gently entangled in my fingers.

“Um. . .”

“Is it no good?”

“It’s not it. . .”

Is the power of the animal ears and tail that are always standing up without a heart?

I feel like Gresis-sama is not energetic.

I squeezed my entangled fingers to cheer him up.

Lilith hasn’t realized the implications of beastmen having multiple babies at once yet.
