Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! Chapter 63

After I talked back to Rachel-sama, I was caught by an escort guard, but I managed to fight him off and tried to escape.

… Of course, that's not what happened.
Why I said such a thing is because I can't keep up with the situation in front of me I escaped into delusions.

Sumire-sama is crying in front of me.
Even though she's older, I feel guilty when I cause such a thing to somebody with younger appearance.
I guess my bloodthirsty expression left that much of an impact on her.
Haa~, I want to go home.
I wonder if there's anyone who can help with this situation.

There is a sign that my wish has been received.
Is there anyone who can break into Rachel-sama's tea ceremony, though?
I can't see it from here, but it seems that guards stopped a person.
Well, access to this place is limited.
That should have been obvious… Apparently irritation clouded my judgement.

I should have known.
That's right, if somebody's going to come, it's only this person.

"Mother! I've heard Miss Lillina is here…"

Yes. Leon-sama.
It's going to be extremely troublesome.

Sumire-sama, who had been crying until now, stopped after hearing Leon-sama's voice.
For a moment I was relieved when Sumire-sama moved to Leon-sama at a speed that wasn't humanly possible.

"Prince Leon… I am so happy. At last I am able to see you. And to come with such timing… I was so scared… I was enjoying tea with Her Majesty Rachel and Lillinsama, but Lillinsama seemed to be in a bad mood and she got very angry. Her face was so scary I cried."

Oh~~.
Amazing, it's too bad I haven't said anything wrong.
Just with that line, she completely turned Sansan into her enemy.
Her face is so expressionless that even I'm scared.

On the other hand, Leon-sama, whose arm was grabbed by Sumire-sama, seems troubled.
I may be looking at this, but I'm not going to say anything.
Rather, I thought I should be disappointed by the lines spouted by Sumire-sama.
Meanwhile, Leon-sama said something to her.

"Um, Sumire-sama? Right. I am sorry, but could you let go of my arm? I have business with Miss Lillina…"

"Prince Leon, Lillinsama is in a bad mood right now. It is better if you give up on it, you'll only be stared at with a terribly scary face."

Sumire-sama keeps desperately gripping Leon-sama's arm.
What's with this situation.
May I go home?

"Rachel-sama… I am sorry, but I will excuse myself. I know it is disrespectful, but for the sake of Leon-sama and Sumire-sama, I shouldn't stay in this place any longer."

Rachel-sama sighed and said.

"… Right. I cannot bear to watch this kind of childish interaction any more. I am sorry for getting you involved, Lillina. I will do something about it."

Having received permission from Rachel-sama, I stood up.
Leon-sama, who noticed it, is about to come dragging Sumire-sama along.
Yep, but I have nothing to talk about.
I signaled Sana with a gaze to leave the garden.
I hear Leon-sama saying something from behind, but it seems guards are doing an excellent job.
Together with Sana, I hurried to the house.

I am now back home drinking tea that Sana has brewed.
Sana's reporting today's events to everyone.
Incidentally, the partic.i.p.ants are me, Sana, Allen-kun, Ange-sama, Alek-sama who came to see the twins, and my brother who used Alek-sama partic.i.p.ation as an excuse.

Bis.h.i.+!
Pakiiin!

Listening to the story, I've heard something break in twins' hands.
Looking at it… Wow~, the cups are broken.
Ange-sama's seems to have just cracked, Allen-kun's completely shattered.
Sana cleaned up quickly.

"Lillinsama… I'm going to sneak into the castle and deal with him in one strike".

"Allen, please stop it."

It's okay to joke about it~, but it seems as if you're really going to do it.
Let's stop.

"Lillinoneesama… Personally, I! I think it's time to use the corps! Let's attack the castle!"

"Ange-sama, that's no good either."

Those two aren't in a state to be joking now.
Without a doubt they'll go off if something strange is said.

"Allen, Ange, please don't bother Lillinsama. Let's not do something crude. If we're to do something, let's plan properly and keep it a secret…"

Alek-sama said as he readjusted his gla.s.ses.
He's also hopeless.
