Episode 46's

The sunlight enters through the window of the room, Lily who is still lying on her bed since fainting after meeting Lucas, and the,

'What time is it glare.what time is it?'

Slowly Lily opened her eyes, found herself in her room.She saw the surrounding was empty, there was no Rina or anyone else in her room,

"What happened?. It looks like I just met Brother Lucas then.ah, I fainted huh?",

Someone suddenly entered Lily's room without knocking on the door, Rina who came with a bowl of warm water and a towel was surprised to see Lily who had just regained consciousness,

"N-missy?! You finally realized!"

Rina dropped the bowl of water earlier and ran over to Lily while crying,

"Wait,Rina!why are you crying like this?.I only fainted for a moment.", right..",

"What's a minute?!Miss has been unconscious for 4 days!I'm.very worried about Miss..",

"What?!4 days?!I fainted during that?!",

"really..Miss has been unconscious for 4 days, and Mr. Lucas has been very worried about Miss until now..",

"Where's brother now?",

"He was in the living room, for 4 days he did not want to go back to the Everon mansion",

"What?!"

"Wait Miss!you haven't changed clothes!"

Lily immediately ran out of the room to meet Lucas in her nightshirt,

"SILLY!!",

Lucas, who was drinking tea, was shocked and spouted out his tea as Lily broke down the door,

"L-lily?..YOU'RE SOBER!",

Lucas approached Lily who was still standing in the doorway,

"Thank God you've come to your senses.If you know your brother is worried about you..",

"Sorry brother, I didn't mean to make you anxious..",

"It's okay.it's better than you not waking up at all..",

"Don't say it like that, don't you want me not to wake up again?",

"Of course it's-! agh." that..",

Lucas turned his eyes away from Lily and covered his face with his hands, Lily was surprised why Lucas suddenly turned his face, he said,

"Sister??what's up?",

"La-anu..Lily.yourd..",

"Hum?..OHHWAA!!SORRY!",

Lily immediately ran back to her room with a reddened face, how embarrassed she was to meet her brother in a nightgown and such a messy appearance, though,

'I'm really crazy!'

Moments after that, Lily returned to see Lucas after bathing, and changed clothes.Honestly Lily was still embarrassed by the incident,

"Ekhem, Brother",

"Yes??",

"Why did I pass out for 4 days??",

"Hmm, said the doctor who saw your condition, you're too tired, so I suggest you don't work for a while",

"But, 2 more days there's the High Class Association, I must attend",

"Why this time?4 Years ago you went there at Duke Wilen's residence right?and after that many invitations came in to invite you, but you refused them all",

"I as the youngest daughter of the Everon family as well as Marchioness Gradina should at least get back together after so long right?besides I also received some tea invitations from some nobles in Gradina",

"But this time the High Class Association will be held at Duke Wilen's residence again",

Lily fell silent, she recalled Arina Wilen, Duke Wilen's second daughter, whether Arina had a grudge against Lily or not after the incident,

"It's okay, at least I have to show myself in front of them",

"Alright, I don't believe you.Oh yeah, there are some small gifts that the nobles sent for your recovery",

"Hum?a bounty??I didn't see him in the room",

"I got rid of all the things to the barn",

Lucas showed a very happy and radiant facial expression, Lily can only resign to the behavior of her brother one, it was,

"Huh, it's okay, I'll open it later.Oh yes brother, will brother continue to be in the capital??I heard from Rudolph that you've been living in the capital for half a year",

"Hmm, I will be here longer if the condition of His Majesty is no development, after all it is my duty as the Head of the Army and the right hand of the Crown Prince to help him",

"Sister was a big contributor to the war 4 years ago, and now the right hand of the Crown Prince, is it not that big brother forced himself??",

"Of course not, I have trusted His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Queen to assist the Crown Prince in matters of state",

Lily knows her brother is a great and multitalented man, he can be in every way, of course Lily is proud of it but she is also worried that her brother might just be used by someone someday, he said,

"Sir, it's time you went to the palace",

"Oh so?that's fast", yeah",

"It's been a long time, you called the Crown Prince 4 days ago and said it will come tomorrow, after tomorrow you say tomorrow again, and tomorrow again you say today, today,from then on you must leave now, NO DENIAL.",

"I-I understand!Don't push me like that!",

Lucas couldn't do anything else when Irvan cornered him and kept going, not wanting him to leave now,

"No need, I'm not busy, right?when will I meet my sister",

"Thank you Lily", though",

Lucas rubbed Lily's head with a smile, Lily led Lucas to the front door and Lucas left for the palace,

"Miss, are you okay?",

"Let's calm, I'm good",

"I mean.tentan Mr. Lucas",

Lily clenched her hands and bit her lips, Rina even knew she wasn't okay,

"It's okay.I'm relieved to see Brother Lucas is fine, but we're in",

"Miss..",

Lily slammed her body into the mattress and hid her face in the pillow,

'Hah..my feelings are chaotic.I miss i-.ah no!!Stupid cika!what are you thinking now?!'

/Skip afternoon

"Rina, I'll go for a while to the Palace library",

"Eh?now Miss??but it's late in the afternoon, you better go tomorrow",

"There's no time, tomorrow I have to prepare for the High Class Association at Duke Wilen's mansion, Lady Arina also invited me, there's no way I'll turn it down after 4 years right",

"Alright Miss, I'll be ready",

"Eh!no need, I'll go alone", though",

"But you could be in danger..",

"I have magic, just calm down, I say yes",

"Heart in the way Miss"

/In the Crown Prince's palace, the,

"What about the 2-day Upper Class Association??",

"Duke Wilen has taken care of everything, it's an important event for the noble ladies held by his daughter, he must have acted as quickly as possible",

"Is that??",

"By the Crown Prince, YOU MUST PAY ATTENTION TO THE POOR AND TAX THE NOBLES!WHY ARE YOU EVEN DISCUSSING THE AFFAIRS OF THE LADIES?!"

"B-but the lady's business is also a state affair.haha..how can I neglect it?.."

"THAT'S THE LADY'S JOB!!YOUR TASK NOW IS TO TAX THE NOBLES!!POOR FOLK!THE BARREN LAND OF THE WESTERN REGION!AND INVITE NEW LEGISLATION THAT YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS MONTH AS WELL!!"

"Why are you so emotional..?I'm creepy because of you..",

Lucas continued to scold the Crown Prince who underestimated the important task in the country, and the Crown Prince continued to goosebumps made, regardless of what possessed Lucas this time,

"Then what about the knights?.doesn't the warlords have to organize them?..",

"Crown Prince.that's the task of the commander of the army.while I as the commander have completed everything as quickly as possible for your sake..",

"Didn't you run away for 4 days?!why did you just leave?!"

"I WANT YOUR MAJESTY TO DO THAT TASK WITHOUT ME!!DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY MOUNTAINS OF PAPER ARE ARRANGED IN MY ROOM BECAUSE YOU GAVE ALL YOUR WORK TO ME?!WHICH CROWN PRINCE IS YOU OR ME?!"

"Lucas.quiet it.I'm just kidding.ahahaha..",

'He's very creepy..'

The Crown Prince could not look Lucas in the eye when he was angry, even to speak was very difficult,

"How can I calm down?!hiks..I want to spend time with Lily even if only briefly after 4 years.but you really have the heart to do this to me.."

The Crown Prince immediately opened his eyes wide, Lily's name instantly caught his attention,

"You mean Marchioness Gradina??",

"Of course, who else, if not?"

"Has he returned to the capital??",

"Why are you so curious?"

"BE TRUE?!I HAVE TO SEE HER SOON!!",

"Your highness.finish your work..",

"But..",

"NOW."

"B-good..",

/Lily Acquisition, Palace Library

"Your Majesty, what book are you looking for?",

"Ah, I'm looking for a book on magic, is there?",

"Of course, the book is on the shelf number 5 row to 30 on the 3rd floor, would you mind me dropping in?",

"No need, thank you, I can do it myself",

"All right, Your Majesty", please",

Lily climbed the stairs to the 3rd floor, then searched for the 5th row to 30th bookcase,

"Meet!but..very high..how can I take it?..",

Lily looked for every way to retrieve the book that was on the high shelf, but there was no item whatsoever that she could use, either,

"Damn.all right.I have to jump", I",

Lily jumped as high as possible but still could not reach the book.She was upset and desperately tried to reach for the book,

"Live a little more! come on.less than a few inches..",

Before long, a man's hand picked up the book from behind Lily,

"Lho??",

"When will you grow taller?you want this one book, right?",

The man's voice surprised Lily.The melodious voice with a flat tone and made the goosebumps of the person who first heard her,lily slowly looked back and found a man with a large body and dark blue eyes looking at her flat but warmly impressed, his eyes widened looking at the man, his hands trembling slightly, his eyes were warm,

"Over time not meeting Lily, how are you??it's been 4 years",

"Eh?Ian?"

Seriate...
