"..."

Lysette was silently looking outside from the window of her family's carriage, her cheeks were still dyed red from the embarrassment she continued to feel, due to Edward's earlier attempts to soothe and apologize to her and Nanako for the embarrassment they passed through during their pseudo-date around the city.

But at the same time, she felt happy at the amount of attention she received from Edward, which was far more than she could ever wished for, and that was with him having to share part of his attention with Nanako.

However, instead of making a smile, Lysette had a pensive expression while her cheeks remained tinted in a red color as she kept looking outside from the carriage's window.

Lysette thought about all the things Edward did around the manor, as well as the amount of attention he always gave her, all of which only made her feel unworthy of his affection. After all, she rarely helped her father in administrative affairs, she never had to help around her family's manor, and never once did she have to struggle to make ends meet.

All she had to do was study both for her future as the heir of the Neville territory and the academy that all nobles had to attend, while occasionally having to accompany her father for social events. Compared to Edward who also had to study and occasionally attend certain social events, on top of his daily tasks, it was akin to nothing, and Lysette couldn't endure the feeling that she was leeching off Edward's goodwill and affection.

Without saying anything, Lysette closed her eyes and nodded as she decided.

"Lysette-chan! Welcome home!"

"I am home, Father"

Daughter and Father both greeted each other respectfully at the entrance hall of their manor, and after doing so, Hamilton stepped closer to Lysette, whom he began to pat her head, both in relief and joy for seeing that his daughter's mood had turned a lot better compared to yesterday's night.

"I great to see you in great shape. So how was your day with Little Edward?"

"Ahaha... Erm... Well..."

At her father's question, Lysette's cheek reddened as she was reminded of all the things that happened back then, especially the parts that involved Edward showering her with love.

"I-It... I-It was a... Very... Enlightening experience... ... ..."

That was all Lysette was able to say before turning quiet out of embarrassment, as her mind began to show her all of those scenes of Edward kissing her. In turn, Hamilton remained silent with a joyful smile at seeing that his daughter had a great time with her fiancée, but under it, he hid a small frustration at how Edward was seducing Lysette way too much. But he also had another thing on his mind, that he couldn't help but ask.

"Lysette-chan... That dress you are wearing... Is it by any chance a maid uniform?"

"! Ah! Y-Yes, they are... Nanako-san lent them to me so that I would have something comfortable to wear for the day"

"Yes, that is very attentive of them"

"... Hm. Father, what do you think of the dress?"

"It looks very beautiful on you, Lysette-chan"

"Thank you"

Receiving praise from her father, Lysette couldn't help but make a relieved and happy smile. Having greeted his daughter, and seeing that he didn't have anything more to worry about, Hamilton thought that it was now a good time for him to go back to fulfill his duties as a landlord.
