After having lunch in my room, I visit Aria-sama's room.
Normally, everyone should eat together unless there is something special to do, but I had something to do, so I had lunch in my room.

I didn't run away because I was afraid of being pursued. I just had something urgent to do. And I wasn't thinking that it would be good if the prince pursued me during lunch and lost interest in me, you know?

I'm sorry......, just a little, no, I admit that I wish it would happen. Because I'm scared, and I don't have a choice.
Well, let's put that aside.
It is because I have a business to visit Aria-sama which I would prefer to avoid if at all possible.

I have two things to do.

One is to see what Aria-sama will do from now on.

It is essential to know what the target of the escort is going to do.

The second is to give her a magical tool.

I took lunch in my room because I was working on it. I don't have any proper tools here, even though I call it a magical tool. It is a simple tool that I made with things I could find around the house. However, it will be useful in case of emergency.

Well, the effect is not that great because it's so trivial, and the effect wears off after a few days.
Oops, while I was thinking, I seem to have reached my destination.

I knocked and received a response from inside, "Come in," so I opened the door and went inside.

"Excuse me, Aria-sama"

As I was about to go inside, I went back and closed the door.
No, I tried to close it.

"Sakura-chan? Why did you try to leave the room when you just arrived?"

...It's funny.

Why is Aria-sama, who should have been at the table in the middle of the room when i saw the inside of the room, now holding the door in front of me?

I could not stop the cold sweat from running down my spine, even though it was summer, thinking about how quickly she had done it and what would happen in this room.

"Just in time. I was just talking with mother about Chiffon and Sakura-chan. Since we are here, I would like to ask you a lot of questions."

That's right. In the room, there was not only Aria-sama, but also the queen and even Chiffon-san.
No, I had not considered this possibility at all, but I had thought they were resting in their respective rooms since it was right after lunch...

"Come on, inside, will you? You're not trying to escape, are you?"

I'm sorry, I want to escape if possible. It is not an atmosphere that can be said even if the mouth is torn. Oh, I can't stop sweating.
Unable to look a hand gently placed on my shoulder, I could only shake my head.
Then, without prompting, we were seated at an interrogation table called the after-dinner tea party.

Fi-finally, it's over...
A time of shame that will cut your heart out of your mind....

I was like in the last episode of some anime, blanked out on my chair and drooping down. And with me by their side, Aria-sama, Chiffon-san and the queen were all excited.

They made me talk about everything. Yes, everything, including that kiss....

I didn't intend to talk about such things either, you know. But these people are so perceptive. If I even slightly get upset, they assume that there is something wrong and pursue me. Even just one of them is too much for me, and now three of them are attacking me. There is no way I can hide my love life from them....

Before I knew it, they were questioning me and me telling everything.

The reason why they were questioning me so much was because they had been trying to ask me a lot of questions at the lunch table, but neither I nor the prince had shown up. They were so enthusiastic that they were disappointed and after lunch, they were discussing how they could find out more, when I came to them. It's just like a fire that breaks out of a fire, isn't it? Damn prince. He escaped...!

If shame could kill a person, I would have died three times already.

To begin with, I have no experience with love. This is my first time in this life, of course, and I don't have much experience in my previous life. Even if I say I had experience in my previous life, it was mostly in the form of one-sided wooing, and I have only fallen in love with more than one person on one hand. By the time I became aware of it, 90% of the time I had my heart broken, and the remaining 10% of the time I managed to confess my feelings to someone, only to be rejected out of hand due to the difference in race.

Huh? Maybe I have practically no experience including my previous life?

"So the ceremony should be a big deal! It's the wedding of the second prince, after all. We should invite guests from neighboring countries and make it a big event!"

"But that would make Sakura-sama feel uncomfortable. I think it would be better to keep it within the family."

"What are you talking about? I'm not going to be able to show off my lovely Sakura-chan in her wedding dress!...... Ah, Sakura in the dress I designed. I'm sure everyone will be in awe of her in the dress I designed."

As I was absentmindedly pondering, the conversation in front of me somehow turned to wedding. How did it come to that?
