The four children sat opposite to Lelia. She felt like was being cornered.

"Captain, who's that girl? You are trying to get a girlfriend, aren't you?"

"..."

Romeo asked, raising one eyebrow, while the others stared at Lelia.

"Who is she?" Kalix questioned, suppressing his mirth.

"Huh, really...? His... girlfriend? I can't believe it." Oscar murmured bitterly.

Lelia frowned and glared at Griffith without answering them. Griffith was quiet, perhaps because he knew who the girl was.

[You want to portray me as a shameless child?]

Lelia shrugged her shoulders.

"Why would she be my girlfriend? She is Prince Griffith's fiancée."

"Fiancée? You have a fiancée?" Kalix turned to Griffith.

"...Is there anyone here who doesn't have a fiancée?" Romeo asked in an amazed tone.

"No."

"Really?"

When Kalix replied, everyone looked surprised.

"Me, I don't have one..." Even Oscar replied.

[He doesn't have a fiancée because he's hated by the emperor.]

Lelia thought, clicking her tongue inwardly.

Romeo's blue pupils flickered, "You really don't have one? And you, Captain? Don't you have one?"

"Huh?"

[W-well, I don't know. Did the Crown prince have a fiancée?]

[If I were a son, the emperor would have already decided on my fiancée... But I'm sure he'll act picky for his only son, so I don't think Prince Leo has one yet... ]

Four people stared at Lelia, waiting for her answer. Lelia eventually found a wise answer.

"... I heard my father say something about it, since I'm weak. I didn't say anything because I didn't think you would even care about it. I think I have a fiancée... Well, or maybe not."

The 'I'm not sure' tactic.

At Lelia's words, the four children nodded, saying that might be the case.

"You're weak? You look clumsy, but you are very powerful." Kalix flicked her forearm and said.

"Hey, if I hadn't been healed by the priest that day, my arms muscles would have been worn out. If you faint again, I won't be able to carry you again."

"Tch."

"You should be grateful, eh? Ah, in order to save you, I had to bring forth such superhuman strength that day."

Kalix shut his mouth.

Five children, including her, had a rough idea of that day.

When the beast showed up, Lelia carried Kalix down the mountain.

However, only Lelia, Kalix and Griffith knew that the culprit, who summoned the beast, was related to the Emperor of Ascard. After that, they wondered how Lelia knew something like that would happen in advance.

Lelia was unable to tell the truth, so she said in a vague manner, 'Sometimes I have a premonition.'

"Captain, you would have done the same if I were in danger, right?" Romeo thought about it for a while and asked.
