Chapter 59: Exchange Notes (5)
Liliana had grown up under her care, so Rose knew Liliana's character very well.
If you ask her directly what happened, this silly girl who is very stubborn in strange places and likes to take responsibility for everything on her own will definitely not say anything.
"Well, because I want to see you, Rose-sister, as soon as possible..."
Liliana replied shyly, avoiding Rose's gaze.
She looked like she was shy, but Rose knew she was probably afraid of something.
"Pfft, I always feel that it's a bit strange to hear you say that, Lily. If Al hears it, he might misunderstand something and get jealous."
Rose covered her mouth and chuckled, helping Liliana pick up the paper bag on the ground.
"Well, it doesn't matter what happens to that idiot! Rather, we should let that idiot eat more vinegar!"
Liliana, who was originally depressed, became angry when she heard Alfred's name.
"Did Al do anything?"
“Ah! This, this…”
Liliana was speechless when she entered the room, and stood there in a daze, trying to put the paper bag into the kitchen.
"Lily?"
"Ah, um, um, it's okay, I'm fine..."
"Really? Lily, you didn't see Al being very close to a strange girl, did you?"
Rose asked, looking into Liliana's beautiful blue eyes.
“Eh?! Uh, Rose-sister, what are you…”
"Pfft, because I know you two very well~"
Rose couldn't help but laugh at Liliana's cute shocked expression.
"Because Al is obviously very slow, but he is always very good at teasing girls in subtle ways, so I think he must have done something to cause you to misunderstand?"
"M-Misunderstanding?"
Liliana seemed very skeptical and murmured quietly.
"That's definitely not my misunderstanding, it's all like that..."
"Besides Al, Lily, are there any other things bothering you?"
Rose clapped her hands twice, bringing Liliana's attention back to herself.
"Eh? Why are you asking that, Sister Rose?"
"Because this is just Al's business, Lily, you will definitely be angry and keep complaining to me, or drag me to confront Al directly, right?"
Rose placed her finger gently on her lips and tilted her head slightly before answering.
“Ugh! Uh, that…”
"If you don't want to tell me, Lily, I won't force you. However, if you really encounter any difficulties, both Al and I will do our best to help you."
Rose stood on tiptoe and gently rubbed Liliana's head to counsel her.
"So, don't think about taking care of everything yourself. That's a bad habit you and Al have."
"Yeah, I, I understand. Actually, I didn't encounter any troubles. I just encountered some unhappy things. Sister Rose, you know that because of Christiana's family, many first-year students will try to get close to me."
Liliana explained with a forced smile.
"But because I was assigned to the Norren class, some snobs caused some problems. But I can handle this little thing myself, so you don't have to worry about it, Sister Rose."
"I see... If there are any bad guys, please tell me and Al."
“Eh? B-But…”
Liliana looked confused.
Although its influence is not as great as before, the Christiana family is still a prominent family in the empire.
She seemed unable to imagine how Al and Rose would deal with those who dared to cause trouble for her.
"Hehe, although it may not sound nice to say this, the power of money is very terrifying. When the time comes, all we have to do is ask Uncle Ron to put some pressure on the other party's family."
Rose explained with a smirk.
"Well, there's no need to go to that extent. If this is the way to deal with it, I'll ask mother and sister for help..."
Liliana looked at Rose in surprise and shrank back as if she was frightened.
"Also, Rose, your expression right now is very similar to when Al was causing the problem."
"Eh? Really?"
Rose tilted her head in confusion.
"Yes! Very similar, Sister Rose, you have been led astray by that idiot Al!"
"Then you are not like that, Lily. You like to show off like Al does, and you like to solve problems by yourself when you encounter them."
"No, no, I don't look like that idiot..."
Liliana argued in a panic, trying to change the subject.
"Oh, right, chocolate. Let's make some chocolate! I came to see you, Rose, today because I wanted to make some trial pieces with you to practice."
"For Al on Valentine's Day?"
Rose raised the corner of her mouth and said deliberately teasing Liliana.
“Wow! That’s true, but Rose-sister, please don’t say it out loud!”
Liliana blushed and grabbed Rose's shoulders, shaking her body vigorously and shouting.
"Okay, then let's start getting ready. It won't be good if we leave it too late. After all, Lily, you guys will officially start classes tomorrow, and I also have work for the student union, so I need to get up early."
"Yeah, I, I know~"
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
When Rose and Liliana were enjoying making desserts in the dormitory.
Alfred was in his dormitory, looking through the materials he borrowed from the library.
By the way, when he was borrowing books from the library, he noticed the presence of Edward and others.
After all, they caused such a big commotion that it was hard for Alfred not to notice them.
But he didn't know what Edward and Ella were doing.
In addition, although they were classmates, Alfred thought that his relationship with the two was average.
So he did not choose to take the initiative to talk to the two of them at that time, but was busy with his own things.
The topic returned to the materials Alfred borrowed.
Unlike the Imperial Library and the collections in Duke Elect's home, the collections in the Illya Elia Library were basically not contaminated by political factors, and much of the history that was unfavorable to the empire was well recorded.
Contents that would never appear in the Imperial Library.
In addition, there are many anecdotes in the materials and books that lack supporting evidence and whose authenticity is questionable.
Although there was no clear purpose, Alfred still found it interesting to look at these things when he had nothing to do.
