Reese, we and that Imperial Guard – Melt were led into the mansion by Senia.
The insides of the mansion were grand too – equipped with luxurious decorations and sofas. We were led to the inner part of the mansion and while we were looking around, Emilia and Reus had to wearily look back at Melt many times. It couldn’t be helped, because Melt had been releasing bloodlust since a while ago, but why on earth was he being cautious about us, who didn’t even have weapons.
“Melt, please control your bloodlust. Why are you getting excited about with children as your opponents?” (Senia)
“I’m only making sure they aren’t doing unnecessary things.” (Melt)
“Whatever it is, please control your bloodlust. We’re going to reach Lifell-sama’s bedroom soon, so is this the work of an Imperial Guard – baring such bloodlust towards his master?” (Senia)
“…There is no other way then.” (Melt)
By the time Melt reigned in his bloodlust, we arrived in front of a magnificence door. Perhaps, Reese’ older sister, Princess Lifell, is on the other side of this door.
Senia knocked on the door asking a question and a voice could be heard from the inside.
“Lifell-sama, Reese-sama just got back. She requests for you to meet her friends, will that be alright?” (Senia)
“Reese’s friends!? She finally invited them. Please come in right away.” (Lifell)
“Please come in, everyone.” (Senia)
When Senia opened the door and invited us to enter, Reese jumped in first and we followed her.
There were numerous books organized in Princess Lifell’s room, I couldn’t help seeing at this room as a library. On the bed equipped with canopy in the corner of the room a woman with straight long red hair grown until her waist raised the upper half of her body and turned her face in our direction.
“Ane-sama, I’m back.” (Reese)
“Welcome back, Reese. Even though you went out in a hurry, it was just to invite your friend.” (Lifell)
The princess called Lifell was really beautiful. She probably lost a bit of weight, because of the illness, but there was no doubt she had an illness just looking at her bright red eyes.
“Yes, Ane-sama. However, is your physical condition alright? Since I have recovered a bit of my mana, should I treat you with healing magic again?” (Reese)
“Stop being unreasonable. Didn’t you collapse earlier?” (Lifell)
“Compared to Ane-sama, this much is nothing.” (Reese)
“But even if I get healed, the pain will come back again. Leaving that aside, will you introduce the children at the back? I must greet the children that you proudly talked about.” (Lifell)
“Proud… what does she mean, Reese?” (Emilia?)
“Fu, do you mean that’s normal!? Ane-sama too, don’t say strange things!” (Reese)
Reese was flustered, but it looked like she finally returned back to normal. In other words, Princess Lifell is a reliable companion that Reese trusts, because she showed the same appearance as when she is with us.
“Anyhow, let me introduce them. This child is Emilia. She is the first friend that I made in school.” (Reese)
“Nice to meet you, my name is Emilia. I have always been helped by Reese.” (Emilia)
“A polite child as I’ve heard earlier. Yes, I can’t help saying that she is similar to Senia.” (Lifell)
“Right, Ane-sama!?” (Reese)
“How did you get to know Emilia? Because this child has been spoiled by Senia ever since she came here, she is awfully nice to beastkin. Therefore, when you became friends, I was really pleased that you made a friend similar to Senia.” (Lifell)
“Ane-sama… please stop it.” (Reese)
She was a princess of an entire country and yet she was strangely talkative and outspoken. She may be like that only to her sister, but I don’t dislike it. Reese’ face reddened and she continued waving at Princess Lifell.
“You’re cute when you’re blushing. Oh yes, although you may already know this, my name is Lifell. By the way… Emilia’s silver hair is really beautiful. May I touch it?” (Lifell)
“If you are fine with my hair.” (Emilia)
“Hime-sama! Even though you are sick, why do you want to touch beastkin!?” (Melt)
“Well, I don’t mind at all. Since I should paying attention to this, I think that you are losing your hair. I’ll check to make!” (Lifell)
Even though Melt brought the meal to the corner of the room, Princess Lifell didn’t look at him at all and she touched Emilia’s hair.
“Amazing… it is so silky and I can’t really hold it. How did you become so beautiful?” (Lifell)
