Introduction
Kuriagari Moriku: Tea parties are held regularly at the Imperial Palace. The hostess is the Imperial Princess, Lady “Lilia” The participants are mainly young ladies from count and marquis families. And [your name], the daughter of a duke, is one of them.
Kuriagari Moriku: At these tea parties, love stories bloom while tea is enjoyed. Therefore, it should be women-only, yet──
Kuriagari Moriku: ─Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?
Kuriagari Moriku: What's more, he's fitting right in, holding a teacup as if his presence were completely natural.
Kuriagari Moriku: Seeing this, the other young ladies are also bewildered.
Kuriagari Moriku: Lilia: Brother, you always attend these tea parties, are you perhaps free?
Kuriagari Moriku: The Princess says this with a slight hint of sarcasm.
Kuriagari Moriku: Kuriagari Moriku: I'm not free. This is also a duty as the Crown Prince.
Kuriagari Moriku: Even though he says that, he only attends because [your name] participates.
Kuriagari Moriku: The Princess knows this too, but she's a little fed up with him coming every time [your name] attends.
Kuriagari Moriku: “Do not mind me, ladies, and please continue your conversation.”
Kuriagari Moriku: After a moment of silence then...
Kuriagari Moriku: “Am I, perhaps, making you uncomfortable by being here?” Lilia: “...Of course you are, aren't you?”
Kuriagari Moriku: She brings the tea to her lips, gazing at Kuriagari Moriku with a look of exasperation.
Kuriagari Moriku: “Say... [Your name], do you dislike it when I'm here?”
Kuriagari Moriku: The Crown Prince, rumored to be difficult, now looks just like a puppy.
