Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! Chapter 52

According to numbering by NovelUpdates, this should be chapter 43. However, for the sake of simplicity (and since the last chapter actually numbered by the author is 36), I’ve decided to stick to the chapter number at the end of raw chapter url. Apologies for the confusion.

About a month after brother returned to the Royal Capital, I received a letter from him.
It's unusual to receive a letter from brother.
I just want to get it framed.
Well, what's its content?~~

“To Lillina

Lillina, thank you for your time.
This time I've got a request for Lillina and so wrote a letter.
Actually, something troublesome has happened.
A letter should have arrived from father to mother along with my letter.
Mother should grant you permission to come to the Royal Capital.
I am sorry, but I beg you.

Postscript

By the way, is Sana fine?
Has the whisker become a good whip?
Sana will be coming to the Royal Capital too, right?

Ricardo"

… First of all, I have something to say.
You're really interested in Sana, aren't you.
Huh… It makes me want to bully my brother.
Will Sana be staying at home this time?
But even if Sana would deny it, she wants to see my brother, right?

So, the problem occurred, and he wants me to come to Royal Capital.
Why do I have to go there now?
Moreover, the details aren't written.
Ah, I'm an idiot…

I have no idea what to think, guess I should go ask mother.
I left my room and headed to mother’s.

Kon kon

"Mother, it's Lillina. Can I enter?"

I heard a voice saying “You can enter” from inside.
It seemed that she just read the letter as I entered.

"Lillina, is it about the letter?"

"Yes, it is about the letter from father that mother has read. I received letter from elder brother as well. He wants me to come to the Royal Capital, but the reason wasn't written…"

Mother sighed loudly.

"That Ricardo. What was the letter even for?"

"Probably he's interested in Sana. Postscript was only about her"

"Well, isn't that alright? That girl is not quite bad. The reason he wants you go to the Royal Capital is simple, Prince Leon blundered. Leaf also wrote he wanted you to come, because he can't give you details via letter. However, Lillina, you don't have to go if you don't want to. Just that. But I won't stop you if you say you're going, decide for yourself."

I thought for a moment about mother’s words.
Do I have to go the Royal Capital for Leon-sama?
Now that the engagement was broken off, I don't really dislike seeing him.
Rather, I want to help if he's in trouble.
Then the answer is decided.

"Mother, I will go. If he's in trouble, I'd like to help if I can. Besides, while Sana may refuse, I want to let elder brother see her."

"Fufu, I though if it's Lillina that would be the answer. All right, go. Well~, take Sana, Allen, and Ange, they'll be the best escorts."

"Thank you. It would be better if I hurry, so I'll talk to those three right away. I want to leave as soon as we are ready."

"Yes, please do. I don't think there's any danger, but don't be careless."

Having finished talk with my mother, I talked to others at once.

"Lillinsama… You are much too kind" said Sana.

"Lillinsama, let's finish it and come back!" said Allen-kun.

"Going with Lillinoneesama to royal capital! I'm so happy! Let’s spread the splendor of Lillinoneesama to everyone!" said Ange-sama.

Yeah, only Ange-sama is a bit different.
Or rather, please stop it.

We all talked together and decided to leave the next morning.
Everyone can ride a horse, so if we hurry we should reach royal capital within a day.
Well, what on earth was Leon-sama's blunder?

ーーThe next morning.

We left the house early in the morning.
There was nothing in the way, and we proceeded smoothly.
I wouldn't mind encountering a demon or bandit.
Such wish didn't reach, and we arrived at the royal capital in the blink of an eye.
We immediately went to father’s residence.

"Welcome back, Lillinsama."

I was welcomed by Sebastian as usual.

“I haven't seen you in a while, Sebastian. Is father or elder brother here?”

"Both have been awaiting your arrival, Lillinsama. I'll show you to the room. Sana and the other two, please come along."

Sebastian guided us to the room.
I wonder if it's a serious story if both father and brother are waiting.
Suddenly, I felt anxious.
Did Allen-kun notice? He spoke to me in a loud voice.

"Lillinsama, it's okay. I'm here, so are Ange and Sansan. I'll absolutely take you back to your territory."

The voice that called me was a bit humorous.
I made a little smile and nodded back to Allen-kun.
That's right. Let's help Leon-sama with whatever happened and go back quickly!
