Fara and Asuna have come to the guest house to see me.
I greeted Lacis briefly and invited everyone to sit on the sofa that had been prepared in the room.
Shortly afterwards, Zak brought tea cakes to the room.
He carefully places the tea cakes on the desk in front of the sofa where we are sitting, smiles and leaves the room.
Shortly after the sound of the door closing, which we heard as soon as Zak left the room, Farah murmurs reservedly.
'Master Rid, I am sorry for the sudden visit.'
In the presence of Lacis, I can't let my words fall that far short.
But I smile teasingly at Fara.
''Hmph, Princess Farah. it's okay not to be so fearful. Besides, ...... we'll soon be an officially married couple in Renalute.'
'...... ‼ Yes, that's right.'
After huffing and puffing, Farah blushes and turns her head down while moving her ears up and down.
Yeah, it's probably a cute .......
I feel like I'm tempted to tease Fara all the ...... time, something like this.
At that moment, Lacis, who was sitting beside Fara, coughed and then laughed.
"Rid-dono. Don't tease my sister too much.'
'Ah-ha. 'I'm sorry, Prince Lacis. Because of Princess Fara's lovely reaction. But it's true.'
Fara blushed and turned her head down even after hearing the exchange between me and Leisis.
Lacis looks at me and Farah in turn and makes a frightened gesture of 'Oh dear'.
Shortly afterwards, he turns a little more serious and directs his gaze at me.
'Yes, yes. I'm going to be brothers-in-law with you, you know. I wish you would stop using such formal terms as 'prince'."
'Oh, really? How about ...... 'Brother Lacis' then?
I answered with a slightly puzzled expression on my face to Prince Lacis's unexpected suggestion.
He looked down as if he was a little troubled, but soon looked up and smiled.
'...... Mm, that's good. Feel free to call me that from now on.'
'Ha ha ...... I understand. Brother Lacis.'
It was thus decided that I would call Prince Lacis 'Brother Lacis' from now on.
At that moment, Prince Lacis's gaze shifted to his sister Mel.
'...... By the way, this is the younger sister of Rid-dono, who just now gave us a splendid greeting in the Main Palace. May I greet her?'
'Ah, yes. Brother Lacis, it was the first time you met Meldy, wasn't it?'
After answering Prince Lacis, I huffed.
It was because I remembered the reaction he had given when Mel had made her speech in the main palace.
But despite my misgivings, Prince Lacis smiled at Mel.
'Well then, once again, my name is ...... 'Lacis Renalute'. I have heard that Meldy Bardia-dono is the younger sister of Rid-dono. From now on I will also be your brother, so please feel free to approach me if you need anything.'
'Yes,......, is it okay if I call you Lacis Issama,......?'
Mel is a little nervous and fearfully asks Prince Lacis how to call him, looking up at him.
With that cute gesture, he looked surprised, smiled shyly, scratched his cheeks and nodded his head "Umm, um".
Mel smiles happily at his answer.
'Ehehe ...... Lacis-sama and Princess -sama. Once again, I am pleased to meet you."
The two were also in the same room together.
The prince Laicis also nodded with a smile on his face.
However, Prince Laicis gets some huffing and puffing, and after staring at Mel's expression, he mutters in a whisper, "After all, you look alike. ......."
'......? What's the resemblance, Prince Lacis?'
When Mel tilted her head and asked him, puzzled by his gaze and murmur, Prince Lacis showed a flustered look.
Oh, no, no, no, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I saw the resemblance between you and someone I know, Meldy-dono."
'Someone who looks like me ......?'
As I watched and listened to the exchange between Mel and Prince Lacis on the side, I felt an uncomfortable perspiration running down my back.
I tried to divert the subject by saying, "Oh, yes,......," but it was already too late and he continued speaking.
'Well, ...... it's a maid named Tia who came to our country with Master Rid before. Have you ever heard of a maid called Tia, Meldy-dono?"
'Yes, how do you know about 'Tia', Prince Lacis?
When Mel was surprised, Prince Lacis quickly responded, "...... ‼ Do you know Tia, Meldy-dono⁉?".
'
He then turns his hot gaze, mixed with surprise, on me.
'Yes,...... oh, no,...... how should I know,......?'
At his reaction, I have a puzzled look on my face and I'm just trying to figure out how to get out of this situation.
Suddenly, I noticed that Asuna, who was in front of me, was lying down and shaking her shoulders somehow.
I glanced back at Diana, who was standing behind me, and saw that she was also lying down and covering her mouth somehow.
Danae seems to be staring at me, not understanding the intention of my surly expression or the gestures of Deanna and Asuna.
In the midst of this, Mel continued to speak without seeming to notice my expression or my feelings.
"I know what you're talking about. I know. I play with her all the time."
'What the ...... ‼ Rid-sama, what does this mean⁉'.
Prince Lacis was bloodthirsty at Mel's statement.
In fact, the first letter 'to Tia' he received from her was 'still a prince' without even opening the seal. A softy', I wrote it down in different handwriting and sent it back to him.
At that time, I thought that he would give up with this,......, but Prince Lacis did not give up.
On the contrary, I received a new letter with the preposterous sentence, 'Tia, who gives me, the prince, such an honest opinion, is still wonderful', handwritten on the envelope.
After that, I took a 'no response' approach to the letter, but I had completely forgotten about it until now.
Because ...... I was busy with a lot of things.
When I was pulling a face and saying, "Well, well,......", Mel was holding a 'biscuit' that looked like a kitten and smiled as she showed it to Prince Lacis.
'Ehehe ...... this one. I can be Tia.'
'......? What do you mean, Lady Meldy?"
After asking Mel back, Prince Reyes, who has a puzzled expression on his face, slowly turns his gaze towards me.
At that moment, thinking that I could not care any more, I answered.
'...... Yes. Mel is right, that girl is 'Tia'."
When I replied to Prince Lacis, Cookie, who is in black kitten form at Mel's side, shakes her head as if dumbfounded, and then turns her jittery gaze on me.
At the same time, the 'biscuit' held by Mel also shook her head slightly.
Fara and Asuna have come to the guest house to see me.
I greeted Lacis briefly and invited everyone to sit on the sofa that had been prepared in the room.
