The Duke of Fenton, who had been standing still as I hesitated, coughed awkwardly.
“Quite presumptuous, Kito.”
“Why? Are you displeased just because she’s a child of the Marsen family? Lise is merely a tenyearold girl. She’s quite spiteful, contrary to her appearance, Iymar.”
“……Kito.”
In fact, I never mentioned playing chess.
The Baron Kito and the Duke of Fenton argued back and forth in front of me. But the conversation seemed to have concluded.
“How about it, Lise? Will it be alright? Playing chess once a week.”
The Baron Kito asked, and I thought for a moment.
It was not impossible.
If my violin lessons ended early like today, playing chess once a week was fine. Roger would probably grumble but accept it if I explained the situation well.
“It’s not decided yet! You may come to the Duke of Fenton’s, but the children must give their permission first.”
The Duke said.
“The children?”
“Yurik and Yune, that is. If they say no, it’s unfortunate, but you can’t come. But those children are quite particular, you know.”
Ah, that doesn’t seem to be a concern.
“I’m sorry.”
“Oh, no.”
“Don’t get your hopes up too much.”
So I haven’t yet said that I would play chess. To ask me before asking Yurik and Yune……
Hmm, it doesn’t seem to occur to these two.
[This is a time separator.]Exactly three days later, I visited the Fenton mansion. It was not planned.
The starting point was Isabelle taking the children to see the sea, excluding my father and me. It was a rare sea trip.
The bustling mansion quickly became quiet as they prepared for the trip from morning. Isabelle, seeing me left alone to guard the house, said that it would be fine to read a book for a while.
There was no invitation to come along. The door closed, and silence flowed. I seized the opportunity to head to the library. Isabelle had overlooked the fact that a single book would be insufficient to soothe this emptiness.
It was no use for Biti to block my path. Eventually, Biti followed me outside the mansion.
“Miss, it’s fine even now. How about going back to the mansion?”
Biti repeated the words, apparently tireless.
“If you’re caught, you’ll be scolded by the madam, and your books will be taken away too!”
“…….”
“Miss, are you listening?”
No, not at all.
[How about a sea trip with the family?]I accidentally found a tourist poster asking if I would like to go on a sea trip. The sea that Isabelle and my siblings were heading to was probably the sea drawn on that poster. Staring blankly at the poster, Biti, who discovered this, smiled slightly.
“……You wanted to go to the sea too, Miss?”
“Why would I?”
I denied it immediately, but I did like the sea. Especially the winter sea, where the waves crash hard.
After staring at the poster for a while, I reluctantly stepped away. And when I arrived at the square,
“Eh? Isn’t that Lise Marsen?”
I ran into the Duke of Fenton, who was on his way home in his carriage. Unlike me, who was slightly surprised and stiffened, he opened the carriage door.
“Good timing. Are you free?”
“Eh?”
“Won’t you come to the Fenton mansion with me? I’ve received permission from the children.”
He invited me to the mansion. The duke, who was trying to get me on the carriage, saying he had already obtained permission from Yurik and Yune, felt a little strange. He was someone who didn’t welcome me not long ago.
“There’s no need to wait until the promised day.”
“……That’s true.”
“Come to the mansion first and play chess. And if anything is uncomfortable or such, we can decide again then.”
At the words of Duke Fenton, I still noticed that he was wary of me. He doubted whether his children, who had allowed my visit, had really agreed out of courtesy.
“Miss, what’s happening?”
Bitty grabbed my arm before I got on the carriage.
“Sorry. I’ll explain the situation later. So let’s head to the Fenton mansion first.”
“But, but…….”
“Bitty.”
“I, I will not go inside. Never.”
At my desperate tone, Bitty sighed and stepped back.
[This is a time separator.]As soon as I arrived at the Fenton mansion, I saw Bitty standing firmly in front of the garden. She really had no intention of going inside the mansion.
I asked her several times to come in with me, but every time, Bitty refused outright. It seemed there was no way to break her stubbornness. I gave up and followed the Duke.
“Lise.”
“Yes?”
“Please understand that the children are a little fussy.”
The Duke spoke with a serious face as soon as he entered the Fenton mansion. He had invited me, but now that we were actually in the mansion, he seemed worried. Then, a noise that made him forget his worry in an instant was heard.
“Sis! Sis! Sister Lise!”
Yune hopped like a rabbit and hugged me directly.
“Is it really you, Sis?”
“Hi, hello.”
“I was slightly unsure when I saw you from afar, but it’s really you, Sis! How did you come? I’m really happy you came!”
At Yune’s appearance, Duke Fenton dropped the hat he was holding.
“Father. You dropped your hat!”
“Ye, yes.”
