My brother was grumbling until the end, but it's fine.
That's because for the first time in a while mother settled it with her first.
What's left is the troublesome matter of answering the letter.
Then mother, defying grandfather, took out the restored Leon's letter and said.
"Lillina, you don't have to write another letter. Instead, I'll send this Prince Leon's letter to Queen Rachel. It will surely be interesting. Fufufu."
Mother suggested such with a smile.
Interesting… Perhaps Rachel-sama's fan will fly.
It'll be the same punishment as what brother’s just received.
Sana, who was listening, murmured.
"If it's okay, let's send Princess Sumire's letter together as well."
No no, Sumire-sama's letter is pretty bad.
The original letter unmodified by Hanzou-san just looks like picking a fight.
"Sana, let me tell you. It's better not to send Princess Sumire's letter. If her engagement with Prince Leon is destroyed as a result, he will come back to Lillina. Wouldn't it turn out like this? It would be troublesome if Prince Leon absolutely refused being close with Princess Sumire."
It's as mother said.
It'd be a problem if the engagement between Leon-sama and Princess Sumire was broken off because of her letter full of abuse.
"I'll scribe a letter to Queen Rachel. After that, Ricardo should report about demons, as he's the captain of chivalric order. To begin with, it's wrong to ask Lillina to come."
Mother's in a foul mood.
But I think it's better if brother goes to report.
Besides, Alek-sama is also there.
He will provide a proper follow-up.
"There you have it Ricardo, please report properly."
"… Understood."
Brother who was admonished by grandfather was slow to reply.
It seems it's hard to let Sana go on a trip.
"By the way Ricardo, have you gone to the dragon's nest lately?"
"Eh? Why such a thing?"
The dragon's nest… Ah~, it was for Sana's sake.
It's when brother came home covered in soot.
"You~, the dragon was angry. What's up with your grandson's education? Although he was asleep, he inadvertently breathed fire, he said he wasn't sure how you got out alive."
… Eh?
Dragon said?
Can you talk with dragons?
I was so shocked I asked my grandfather.
"G, grandfather… Um, can you talk with dragons? And above all, has grandfather interacted with them?"
Everyone is immensely curious.
I'm waiting for grandfather's reply.
"Ah, yes, I can communicate. Rather than talking, it's a voice echoing in my head. Perhaps Ricardo misunderstood, but that dragon isn't a demon. I have no idea when exactly, but it settled in this area forever ago. From the dragon's perspective, we came later and started living here without permission."
The dragon brother messed with isn't a demon.
Well, isn't that bad?
"Ricardo, because you will take over this territory in the future, please apologize to the dragon. Don't cause any more mischief. Because I was told to bring sweets as an apology, I'll have you properly take care of it when in the Royal Capital. It's only necessary to bring approximately the amount for hundred people."
Wow~~ the dragon's image changed drastically.
It likes sweets… that's a little cute.
I also want to meet it once~.
"Mmm? Does Lillina want to see the dragon too? Well, if you do, I'll take you there the next time. I think the dragon will take a liking to Lillina. That fellow likes strong people. Incidentally, it seems it's even better when the person is adorable."
… Yup, the dragon's image changed once again.
"Lillinsama, it seems troublesome, so wouldn't it be better to give up on meeting the dragon?"
Allen-kun said so anxiously.
Certainly. If it finds me not to its liking it'd only be a bother.
"Yes. I'm curious about the dragon, but I'd likely inconvenience everyone that cares about me, so this time I'll give up."
Yeah, let's not jump head-first into every trouble.
Even so, trouble is already everywhere in the Royal Capital, once it became impossible to settle down in the territory I'd really have no choice but to travel around the world.
"Hmm, I see. Then shall we head for the western country? If we're too slow, we'll be caught in some stupid trouble from the Royal Capital. Let's prepare and leave in two days."
Soul-san, who heard grandfather, said something to Chris-sama.
"Look, Prince Chris. Lillina will be coming to the western country in two days, so let's go home today."
"No, we should go together in two days."
"What are you saying? Haven't I told you the work has acc.u.mulated? You'll be forced to work as soon as you arrive. If so, you better go home early and finish it."
"Y, yes, you're right. I'll feel lonely not traveling with Lillina, but not being able to meet Lillina because I'm swamped with work would be upsetting. Lillina, I'm going ahead. I'm looking forward to your coming, so please take care."
When he said that, Chris gently stroked my head and reluctantly went away to say farewell to everyone. TL :awwww
It's formidable to act so quickly after making up his mind.
