8.

It must have been because Caroline said something ridiculous like why are Eli and Perioze’s Sister together.

I glanced at Caroline once, then poked my head slightly to the side and spoke to the Crown Prince.

“I was taught not to interrupt conversations. I apologize for my lack of education, Your Highness the Crown Prince. Have you been enjoying longevity and good health?”

“…?”

“Ah, you don’t know what longevity and good health means. I’m sorry, this is also due to my lack of education, using useless words from foreign countries. Though this is our first meeting, has everything been peaceful within the imperial family?”

“…?”

After greeting him with incomprehensible words to tell him to go to hell, Lloyd frowned and waved his hand once.

The little brat should have stayed quiet from the start.

I snorted inwardly and made Perioze’s Sister speak.

I intended to make her only look at me, only listen to my words, and only think of me so she couldn’t have any stray thoughts.

“Sister, sister. How was that bread from last time? Wasn’t it incredibly delicious? I know you enjoy cookies with espresso, but when it comes to coffee, it’s latte! When it comes to ‘bread,’ it’s salt bread! This combination simply cannot taste bad no matter what! It’s a combination I really, really love, so I hope you enjoyed it too, sister.”

“Excuse me, Eli.”

But why are you coming to interfere, Caroline?

I looked at Caroline, who had deliberately gotten up from her seat and come to the table where Perioze’s Sister and I were sitting.

Isn’t it quite rude to leave the Crown Prince and get up?

But the Crown Prince didn’t seem to mind at all, just sitting in his seat drinking tea.

It seems he’s already infinitely lenient with Caroline.

Yet he frowned when she didn’t greet Perioze’s Sister.

“Didn’t you get my letter?”

“Ah, I did receive it. I was going to go but couldn’t. Something came up on the way there.”

“What happened?”

“I’m currently on a date with sister, so can I tell you separately later?”

“You, since when have you been close with the Princess….”

“You’re annoyingly talkative, why is that?”

Suddenly, Perioze’s Sister couldn’t stand it anymore and glared at Caroline while abruptly interrupting.

It seems like we’re lacking sugar, so why isn’t this damn staff bringing coffee and bread? It’s been ages since we ordered.

I was looking toward the stairs with my heart pounding, worried that our sister might cause trouble, when the tactless Caroline responded to sister.

“I’m sorry, but I have some business with my friend right now.”

“Right now she’s my friend who has an appointment with me. I suppose your eyes are just decorative?”

At Perioze’s Sister’s words, Caroline’s face immediately hardened.

I was already looking at sister with heart-fluttering eyes at the part where sister called me her friend.

“What happened? Did it happen on the way to our house?”

Caroline pretended not to hear Perioze’s Sister’s words and asked me.

Then Perioze’s Sister let out an obvious scoff and spoke as if for Caroline to hear.

“It’s rather amusing that a mere baron calls a marquis to the baron’s mansion. What’s the reason? Is it because our Eli is of commoner origin?”

When Perioze’s Sister asked directly without filtering, Caroline’s face turned pale.

“Origin aside, she’s now a proper member of a marquis family, so are you, a mere baron family member, in a position to order around our Eli from a marquis family?”

Amazing! She called me our Eli!

I was moved that Perioze’s Sister took my side and called me our Eli.

Of course she was 100% on my side, but she kept emphasizing that I was of commoner origin and bought the family with money, so to others it might look like she was putting both Caroline and me down.

Since our sister’s conversation pattern is always like this, I understand it well enough, but I became a bit worried that those who don’t know might see it that way.

Then, from behind Perioze’s Sister, Crown Prince Lloyd spoke.

“Princess, that’s enough.”

Instantly, Perioze’s Sister’s face changed to look like a bristling cat.

No, why is that bastard suddenly interfering? Though I do like seeing sister looking like a bristling cat.

I glared at Lloyd subtly while cursing him inwardly.

“Your Majestyyy!”

At my outcry, not only Lloyd but also Caroline and Perioze’s Sister flinched and looked surprised.

Though I absolutely shouldn’t have, I arrogantly cut off Lloyd’s words.

It was because I couldn’t stay still at the continued criticism toward Perioze’s Sister.

Actually, I was also confident that if Lloyd got angry at me, Perioze’s Sister would become my shield.

“Though it is presumptuous to speak, Your Majesty, it would be better if we young ladies handled our conversation among ourselves.”

When I imitated the speech pattern of another world that had spread like a trend in the original world, using deep breathing to produce a thick voice, Perioze’s Sister, who had been looking at me with a bewildered expression, burst out laughing.

This was the first time I’d seen sister laugh so loudly, so my eyes naturally widened.

I stared at the delighted Perioze’s Sister, and soon that laughter was contagious and I ended up laughing along.

“Lady Brensia, are you daring to mock me?”

Then, Lloyd spoke to me with a serious expression.

Since he couldn’t openly say anything about Perioze’s Sister laughing, he seemed to be picking on me as the easy target.

But who is our sister?

“That’s enough, Your Highness.”

Isn’t she Perioze McKenzie, the nasty villainess of this era who throws Lloyd’s own words right back at him?

I cheered inwardly as I watched Perioze’s Sister, who was glaring at him while copying Lloyd’s tone exactly.

Wow! That’s it, that’s it!

Seeing the explosive coolness of Perioze’s Sister from the book in real life was something beyond satisfaction and thrill that I couldn’t quite describe in words, but felt wonderful.

Lloyd glared at Perioze’s Sister with a murderous expression.

The current Crown Prince cannot treat Perioze’s Sister too badly.

It’s only after he becomes an adult and his position as Crown Prince becomes perfectly solid that he starts tormenting sister relentlessly.

But perhaps because Caroline is present, today’s Lloyd feels a bit more excessive than usual.

“The Princess started the trouble over something trivial in the first place.”

“I did?”

“Didn’t you speak as if it were rude to invite a marquis’s daughter to a baron’s mansion?”

“Isn’t it rude? Not even sending a proper invitation, but using personal connections to tell someone to come and go.”

When Perioze’s Sister glanced at Caroline while speaking, Caroline’s face hardened.

“You speak as if the Duke has never once summoned me, the Crown Prince, to the Duke’s mansion.”

“Is what father did the same as this?”

“Are you trying to say it’s different?”

“Truly, something must be covering your eyes so you can’t see anything. Father’s matter and this matter have completely different contexts, Your Highness.”

“The fundamental context that you’re deliberately tormenting Lady Caroline isn’t different. Did you think I wouldn’t know that even the day you used the Duke to summon me to the Duke’s mansion was a scheme to prevent me from meeting Lady Caroline?”

At Lloyd’s words, Perioze’s Sister’s face instantly hardened.

“A scheme.”

Unable to bear seeing Perioze’s Sister’s face that looked like she might cry, I bolted upright.

“Your Highness! I happen to have something to say to Your Highness!”

Caroline looked at me with surprised eyes, and Perioze’s Sister asked “What do you have to say?” with a face where the tears had disappeared at my outcry, but I continued speaking while staring intently at Lloyd’s blue eyes.

“If you don’t have a conversation with me, you’ll definitely regret it later.”

At my words, a cold aura settled over Lloyd’s face.

Fortunately, Lloyd approved of a private meeting with me, and after giving Perioze’s Sister, who was bewildered not knowing what was happening, a reassuring look, I followed him into the private room at the very back of the cafe.

This place had soundproofing magic throughout the interior and was often visited for important deals.

“So, what is it that I’ll regret if I don’t hear it?”

Lloyd, who asked as soon as he sat down, seemed very concerned about leaving Perioze’s Sister and Caroline behind.

He must be anxious that Caroline might suffer at Perioze’s Sister’s hands.

Since he only has some degree of favorable feelings toward Caroline at this point, he must have accepted the private meeting I requested.

Hmm, what should I do?

I had brought Lloyd out simply because taking either Perioze’s Sister or Caroline would make my position between the two awkward, so I hadn’t properly thought of what to say.

So I just stared at him silently in response to his question.

With an expression as if I had something very important to discuss.

“What is it you want to say, Lady?”

Lloyd asked, slightly frowning his handsome face.
