“So, what did you want to talk to me about Laura?”

In front of me, a cup of tea was being poured, and it was steaming.

I tried to do it as I saw fit, but I couldn’t figure out how much tea leaves and hot water to use, so I was pretty lax in my attempts.

Alice looks down without sipping up, but she then looks up with determination.

“Actually, I think my sister hates me.”

I was caught off guard by her words.

“Why do you think so?”

“I can see when I look at her. Whenever I see her, she always complains, and when I talk to her, she only responds with the bare minimum.”

“That’s……Did you do anything terrible to Laura that comes to mind?”

I did not expect Alice to say the same thing to me as Laura.

When I asked that, she put her hand over her mouth and pondered.

“Until recently, I had her studying abroad in Glorizal.”

“Ah, she’s told me all about it.”

She told me so much about her experience in Glorizal that I even wanted to see it myself.

“My sister’s placement in Glorizal was largely at the request of my father and, primarily, me……”

Alice looks at me and her eyes are shaken.

“I think she probably resents me for that………”

I wonder if that’s true?

As far as I could tell, Laura had no particular complaints about studying abroad.

Instead, she seemed to be concerned that Alice didn’t like her……

“I think you should talk to Laura about it.”

“I can’t, because if I’m alone with her, we’re bound to have an argument.”

The other day, I remember the two of them yelling at each other.

Indeed, both Alice and Laura were not as calm as they usually are at that time.

“I think it might be a good idea to have a third party involved in the conversation. Why don’t you get Alicia or someone in between?”

Alicia was a good listener and often settled fights around her. Her presence into the room would allow them to talk more or less calmly.

“Yeah……”

Alice clenched her fists and turned over.

“If that doesn’t work, I’ll talk to you again. I consider Alice and Laura friends.”

It was getting late. If we are alone for too long, bad rumours may start to circulate.

I said this to Alice and sent her back to her room.

“What’s the matter, Elt? You give up now?”

I’m playing a game with Leon across the board.

The squares are lined with pieces such as warriors and mages, and no matter how you look at it, it is tough to get back up from here.

Thanks to Laura’s hard work, we had finished checking the first kind, and when we had some time to spare, Leon came to visit and we played some games.

“No, I’m having a bit of a problem. How can I get back on track with this relationship?”

“What, is there trouble among the harem you’ve surrounded yourself with?”

Leon happily brings his face close to mine and says “I’ll keep this between us, so talk to me.”

“You’re obviously enjoying this, aren’t you?”

I gave him a stare and accused him.

“It’s all fun and games when it’s someone else’s harem squabbling.”

“In case you haven’t noticed, I don’t have a harem.”

Alicia and Serena have confessed to me, but I don’t understand love right now. Both of them are very important to me, so there is no way I would ever touch them.

“If two women were in a bitter dispute, how would Leon reconcile them?”

From what I’ve heard, he seems to be used to this kind of thing.

“I would let them have a heart-to-heart talk in a calm place.”

“What do you mean?”

I ask the question, and…

“Of course, it’s a vacation.”

He said as he moved his pieces and defeated my king.

“Eh? Going on a vacation?”

“I don’t mind, but it’s kind of sudden, isn’t it?”

The day after I talked to Leon, I called Serena and Alicia and talked to them.

“I recently became friends with Prince Leon of the Kingdom of Glorizal. He invited me to his villa near the North Sea in his kingdom. I heard that fresh seafood is available this time of year, and he’s going to treat me to it.”

“Fresh seafood…….Sounds like fun.”

Serena had never left the forest in her entire life.

The first time she went to town, she ate fish dishes at a bar and has been interested in that kind of food ever since.

She was intrigued by the idea of fresh seafood.

“Afterwards, I hear there’s a private beach for royalty only, so we can swim in the open.”

“Sure, I’ve been feeling a little tired lately, so I wanted to take it easy.”

Serena and Alicia are both beautiful, so they get a lot of invitations to tea parties and invitations from men.

“Which means…”

“I’d love to go.”

“I’ll go too, as long as I’m with you.”

I got their approval.
