The day after Lise told me about Alicia's feelings.

A somewhat nervous Sam went to Alicia's room.

"Mr. Sam?"

When I knocked, Alicia, wearing a one-piece dress and a light cardigan, peeked out from her room.

"May I have a moment of your time to talk to you?"

"Of course. Please, come in. But please don't look around the room too much. It's not a beautiful room and I'm embarrassed.

"Excuse me."

When Sam was invited into the room, he looked around Alicia's room.

Thinking back, this was the first time he had visited her room.

There were many stuffed animals on the bed and shelves, and books were placed everywhere, but it was not messy at all.

It was Alicia's room.

"Please, have a seat here."

There was a small table and two chairs, probably for drinking tea.

Sam sat down on one of the chairs and faced Alicia across the table.

"So, what can I do for you?"

Alicia asked, and Sam swallowed hard.

Sam was nervous.

He had been married to Liese and engaged to Stella and the others, but he had often let himself be carried away by momentum, emotion, and the flow of the moment, so this was the first time he had had to face them like this.

(It's not that I don't believe in Lise, but I don't want to imagine what it would be like if Alicia didn't like me or not. (Yeah, go for it!)

"Well, I don't have anything very clever to say, and I don't think it's very nice of you to suddenly ask me something like this."

"Yes, what is it? You can tell me anything you want."

"-Will you be my wife?"

"--What?"

Alicia's eyes filled with tears as Sam's courageous confession was made.

"Aaahhhh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! No, it's not!"

"...... not?"

"Oh, no, no, not at all! But, you know, I'm sorry if I offended you!"

Alicia suddenly started crying, and Sam was in a panic.

Alicia takes out a handkerchief and presses it to her eyes.

"I'm sorry. I'm ...... sorry for crying all of a sudden, but I'm so happy."

Sam's chest heaved with joy to hear her say that.

At least he knew that Alicia didn't mind.

"But why all of a sudden--oh, did your father tell you?"

"Yes, well..."

I had actually heard about it through Lise, but I didn't mention it because if I had mentioned my sister's name, Alicia might have shown unnecessary concern for her.

"So you proposed to me, P.," she said. But I don't think it was because your father asked you to.

No, sir, I don't.

Alicia's concerns were valid, but Sam made it clear that he did not want to mislead her.

"I didn't do it because someone asked me to."

"......I won't hide it from you, since you already know. I adore you with all my heart, Master Sam."

Alicia, who took Sam's words to be serious, confided her feelings to him with red cheeks.

However, this is short-lived as her expression turns thoughtful.

"However, I have never wanted to be forced into a relationship with you. I would rather go to a monastery than cause trouble for Sam.

Please stay. I'm not bothering you!

"--What?"

Sam panics at the mention of a monastery.

He had never thought that Alicia would think of such a thing.

She must have been very reserved, not wanting to disturb her sisters.

Her excessive concern was typical of Alicia, but she could have been more brazen.

"I must confess that I was surprised when I first heard of your feelings, Alicia-sama. I didn't expect it. But I was happy."

"...... Dear Sam"

"I love spending time talking with you, Alicia. I can't help but smile when I see you talking about your book. It broke my heart to hear that you might be about to get married, even if you don't want to.

Sam gets up from his chair and goes over to Alicia and kneels down beside her.

He takes her hand and lays his own on top of hers.

It made him happy to know that Alicia was thinking of him. I was very grateful.

"So, you mean, you really care about me?"

Yes. I intend to.

Alicia, unable to hide her surprise at learning of Sam's feelings, gives a wry smile.

"I know I should probably spend more time on this kind of thing, but I heard you don't have much time, so I had to take action.

"......Mr. Sam, are you sure you want me to do this? Do I have to give up on Master Sam?"

"If it's okay with you that I have four fiancées, let's be happy together."

"--Master Sam!"

Alicia jumped into Sam's chest.

The force of the plunge caused Sam to collapse in Alicia's arms.

Alicia would have been in tears at the thought of having done something so immodest, but she was oblivious to her current position.

Her cheeks flushed with happiness and excitement, and she gave me the biggest smile I had ever seen as she pushed Sam down.

"Of course! I look forward to working with you for many years to come, Master Sam!"
