I have a very important request!
Please read until the afterword!
“Th-That’s not true! My sister is a very kind person!”
“Whoa!?”
Her timid demeanor completely changed, and Eline’s fierce appearance made me instinctively recoil.
W-What’s going on here? I was surprised by her request to become friends, but I never expected her to consider Lisette as ‘kind’.
Well, of course, I know that Lisette is actually a kind-hearted heroine, right?
But how does Eline, who was on the receiving end of the bullying, know that…?
“My sister always says terrible things to me, but every time, she looks like she’s about to cry! When I was harassed by the servants, she deliberately scolded them for different reasons to help me! Please stop calling such a sister a ‘Villainess’!”
Ah, I see. Lisette would definitely pretend to be a Villainess to help her sister.
However, Lisette herself probably has no idea that her sister thinks that way.
Even though it’s just an act, it doesn’t change the fact that she was bullying Eline, and she probably thinks she’s hated.
“Ah…”
“Princess Eline, thank you for understanding Princess Lisette.”
Before I knew it, I was patting the head of this adorable Second Princess.
D-Did I go a little too far…?
But.
“Ehehe…”
Eline smiles happily, looking bashful.
It seems that my worries were unfounded.
“If that’s the case, please let me cooperate with you. I’m sure Princess Lisette loves Princess Eline very much.”
“R-Really…?”
“Yes. That kind of friendly princess is only her.”
That’s right. She always wanted her family to notice her, but they didn’t.
She even went so far as to choose to become a ‘Villainess’, and failed.
When Sandra and I pay attention to her, she becomes so happy and tries her best to devote herself to us.
There’s no way she wouldn’t be happy to receive affection from her sister.
“So, let’s go meet her right away. …Ah, please keep it a secret that Caz can speak human language, okay? It’s a secret just between you and me.”
“Y-Yes! A secret with Prince Harold!”
When I put my index finger to my mouth and pretended to be a little playful, Eline nodded happily.
…I’ll lecture Caz later for wandering around in such a place.
◇
“P-Prince Harold! Y-You’re late, aren’t yo…u…”
Lisette, who was happily talking with Sandra, noticed me and her face lit up, but her expression clouded over in an instant.
She noticed Eline hiding behind me.
“I apologize for being late. Actually, after the audience with His Majesty Salomon, I met Princess Eline, so I invited her to join us for tea since we were here.”
“U-Um…”
Eline is still hesitant, probably not ready yet, but I deliberately pushed her small back and made her stand in front.
“Princess Eline, feelings won’t be conveyed unless you put them into words, you know?”
“Y-Yes!”
I whispered something so presumptuous, but who am I to say that?
I haven’t conveyed my feelings either.
“U-Um! S-Sister, I want to join you too…”
Although her voice is barely audible, Eline summons her courage and speaks.
Now, your sister has done her best, so it’s Lisette’s turn.
“Hmph! Being with someone like you would make the tea taste bad! Leave this place immediately…”
“Princess Lisette. Isn’t it unnecessary to do such things anymore?”
“!?”
Lisette gasped, coldly pointed out by Sandra.
As expected of my favorite fiancée. She seems to have understood the situation with just this exchange. However, her gaze tells me, ‘Please explain later.’
“Sister! Th-That… P-Please!”
Eline bows deeply, and Lisette hesitates.
Well… I should lend a helping hand too.
“Princess Lisette. Princess Eline says she wants to have tea with you, whom she loves and thinks is kind. The rest… is up to you.”
“Ah…”
I knew it, Lisette thought she was hated by Eline.
Even I, who knew ‘EnHaza’ inside out in my previous life, never thought that would be the case. It’s only natural that you wouldn’t understand.
“Th-That… I know I’ve done terrible things to you until now, right?”
“No! My sister has never done such things to me! My sister has always cared about me! My father, mother, and even my brother didn’t look at me, but only my sister looked at me!”
…How ironic.
Not only Jean, but King Salomon and Queen Paula didn’t look at Eline as well as Lisette.
If you think about it, Lisette, who was pretending to bully her, was definitely looking after Eline.
That’s why she wasn’t suffering like Lisette and her heart was saved.
“Princess Lisette.”
“W-Wait a minute…”
Pushed by Sandra, Lisette stands in front of Eline.
And then.
“Sister! Sister!”
“Eline… you idiot…”
Eline jumps into Lisette’s arms and sobs.
Lisette, who accepted her, also shed tears.
“I never imagined that Lord Hal would be doing something like this while he was away.”
“It was really a coincidence. Rather, Caz created this opportunity.”
“Ehem!”
Caz, who was hiding inside my chest, came out and puffed out her chest on my shoulder.
Looking at such a partner, Sandra and I chuckled.
