How About a Refill? ~The Elegant Tea Party of the Grand Witches~

by the lake

◇

"So, what's your sister doing now?

"I'm spending time in the mansion now. I will refrain from socializing for a while."

I see.

(After all, you're worried about onee-sama... I can't help it. I can't compare it to a beautiful onee-sama)

Miriam answers by pretending not to notice Zukin and his painful chest.

(I wonder why it's so painful...)

Miriam and Emilio are facing each other in the carriage.

The Second Prince Ivan was involved in this kidnapping of Alessia, and Ferdinand thanked both the King and Emilio.

In addition, the Ivan side also cooperated with the search by providing information, and sometimes was unable to publicly denounce Ivan's crime due to the abduction of the unmarried Marquis daughter, and was not punished publicly. However, unofficially, an apology was made by Ivan to the Marquises of Caparoni, which made it almost impossible, albeit not deprived of the right to inherit the throne.

Nevertheless, it was Miriam who, individually, climbed the castle to thank Emilio and the three savior witches.

"Today is faster than usual, why don't you stop by a bit and go home?

"Yes! Are you sure?

Yeah?

(Don't you want to see onee-sama early...?

"No, I'm very happy."

To Miriam, who smiled, Emilio suddenly held her face and looked up to heaven.

(What, so cute! The healing power of Miss Miriam, in my heart, who has been busy killing me for days...!

In this case, the fiancée of the First Prince was difficult to determine in the first place, and speculation called for speculation, and the information was considered to be one of the causes.

As a result, Emilio's fiancée was increasingly moving to get Tachibana to decide as soon as possible.

(Because both father and mother were unusual royal royal love marriages, the congress has nominated candidates, but the final decision is left to me. However, we can't postpone it any longer)

Emilio turned to Miriam, who was sitting opposite him.

Looking at the view from the carriage window and occasionally finding something and smiling at its side, it tightens your chest.

(After all, Miss Miriam would be nice if we shared the future... When I get back to the castle today, I'll hurry up and report to my father, and soon I'll see the Marquis of Caparoni about my engagement... hah! Before you do that, I need to tell Miss Miriam how I feel! Today?

Fufufu!

Emilio suddenly heard a laugh as she thought about it, and raised her face, Miriam smiled and looked at Emilio with her hands down.

"Excuse me. What were you thinking? It's like a facade! I'm crazy... please forgive me."

That said, Emilio felt her whole body burning up as she tilted her neck.

"... what a danger."

Yes?

"No, I can't bear to have you attend nightclubs because you're so cute. I know how your father and Leo feel."

"Well, I've never been heard from anyone before. Look, I'm plain..."

"That's not true! Miss Miriam is so beautiful!

"No, people like your mother and sister say it's beautiful. Compared to that, I can't..."

"I think I know the reason for your abnormally low self-esteem... The criteria for beauty are too strict."

(It's such a bad thing to be born and grow up surrounded by that family...)

Emilio looked distant and the waiter knocked on the door as if the carriage had reached its destination.

Looks like you're here.

"Um? Which way is the stopover?

"You'll find out when you come. Come on, come on."

Escorted by Emilio, Miriam stepped out of the carriage and breathed into the sight before him.

"What a beauty..."

The shallow water surface of the inhaled emerald green is highly transparent, and the lake bottom can be seen far offshore. As the depth of the water deepens, the sky blue and the trees appear like a mirror, and colorful flowers sway in the wind along the lake shore.

"Have you been in the mansion lately? Sometimes it's good to touch nature and change your mood."

"Thank you! It's so nice."

Emilio escorts Miriam as the Chamberlain quickly spreads the rug under the lakeside trees and prepares the tea set.

"Here you go. I have some of your favorite sweets."

Amaretto of "Prodotti da Forno."

"Now you're totally a (...) ma (...) re (...) t (...) faction!

Ufufufu

Miriam smiled at Emilio, who was very good at picking amaretto.

Oh, how cute! I want to buy you as much amaretto as I can!

Miriam's hair, disturbed by the wind, slips gently into his ear and his gaze is entangled.

Emilio felt that if he wanted to convey his feelings, it was only now.

"Is Emilio going to get engaged to onee-sama?

In a moment, mysterious remarks popped out of Miriam and stunned him.

Why are you with your sister?

"Oniisama told me that Emilio is looking for her fiancée."

"Oh, I see. So, why your sister?

"Emilio is really, really nice and very kind."

"Really!?

Emilio broke his face when he was flattered.

"So, you look great with a beautiful onee-sama. The other day, when I was having tea with you at my house in Shia, I heard you were playing a story..."

(Talk playing!? I was just arguing about Miss Miriam.)

"Wait a minute, will you?

Emilio took Miriam's hand and wrapped it gently with both hands.

"It's not your sister I'm thinking of being my fiancée."

"Really? I'm sorry, sir. I knew it...."

"I don't think so, it's not being communicated at all..."

Huh?

Emilio raised Miriam and sat on her lap, holding her shoulders.

"Dear Emilio! What's the matter!?

"It's you. Miss Miriam."

"... eh?

Emilio dyed her cheeks bright red and peered down at Miriam's face, staring at her forehead and forehead.
