PMBPHP Chapter 52

Timir’s POV*
About the time when Gresis recovered from the epidemic and returned to work. (Around chapter 17)

---

I’m Timir, the crown prince of the Tenar Kingdom.
A leopard beast man.

It’s normal for beast people to give birth to multiple babies in one litter.
I’m a triplet, and I was the first to be born, so I’m the first prince.
The two people who were born later said they would cede the throne, so I became the crown prince.

It’s spring now.
When I see the calm blue sky seen from the window, I think I want to have tea in the garden, but because of work, I eat food in the office almost every day.

I totally hate it.
I thought it was about time to take a break, but I asked the second prince Frair, who was staring at the documents nearby, about something that was on my mind.

“What did you think of Lilith?”
“The impression is not bad. But if it’s the princess, it’s a piece of cake to get along.”

Frail, my brother and the next prime minister, was calm as usual.

“I think I’m going to determine the humanity of Lilith.”
I cut it into Frair.

The first time I saw Lilith was when I came to the audience during the face-to-face greeting.
To be honest, I didn’t have any expectations for a human woman.

Because all the people I met in diplomacy until now had the worst impression.
Even if they were friendly superficially, it was obvious that they were degrading and making fun of beastmen behind the scenes.

However, the greeting gestures of Lilith in front of us royals were elegant and beautiful, and the smiling figure seemed to be full of affection, and it looked really cute.
What a good impression, it’s the first time.

I really wish it would stay like this. But she’s also a human. . .
While having expectations and anxiety, I also wanted to figure it out for Gresis, who has no luck with women.

“To figure it out, huh? I’ll go with you, too.”
It seems that Frair has the same feelings for our brother.

A few days later, in the morning, Frair and I were heading to the villa in the royal palace where Gresis lives.

It’s 10:30 a.m. now.
According to the information obtained in advance, Gresis is absent from work, and Lilith should be spending time in the garden.
It was when I approached Gresis’s house.

“Your Highness Princess Lilith, please stop.”
Suddenly, I heard a woman’s voice.
It’s probably a maid.

“Ah, you were a disappointing person. . .”
I felt terribly disappointed.

“What are the guards doing?”
The frustrated Frair rushes ahead.

Lilith is escorted by the Royal Knights.
Ostensibly an escort. However, the original purpose is monitoring.
Humans don’t know what to do. For that reason.

If you harm the maid, no matter how much you are an escort, you won’t be silent.

What the hell is going on?
Following Frair, I hurried to see what was happening.

“No, that’s no good.”
“What the hell is going on?”

Almost at the same time as the handmaid’s words, Frair arrived at the scene, and I also check the situation from over Frair’s shoulder.
Lilith with a wreath and a maid with a red face were sitting there.

What is this situation?
I didn’t understand the reason.
Frair feels the same way, right?

“Well, good day. His Highness Timir, His Highness Frair. Are you going for a walk? Or do you want to see His Highness Gresis? I’m sorry, but he’s away right now.”

“Ah, I know Gresis is out.”

I wonder if Lilith’s attitude has suddenly changed.
While answering with a smile, carefully observe Lilith and the maid.

The maid got up from the chair quickly.
Usually, maids don’t sit with the royal family. Why were you sitting?

“I had time, so I came to see Lilith’s face.”
In order to determine. Of course I won’t say that.

“Well, is that so? Thank you for coming all the way. Oh yeah, please listen to me, Your Highness Timir, Mai, I recommend that she would be cute if she put a wreath on, but she says it doesn’t suit her.”

Lilith spoke regretfully.
A wreath? Is that so?

“. . .I heard you telling her to stop something. There are also words that refuse if it’s no good. What is that about?”

Frair has entered interrogation mode.
The locked-on maid is shaking her shoulders.
What are you going to do if you threaten the maid? My head hurts a little.

“Please stop recommending the handmaid to the same seat as the Princess. Also, I told her that she can’t feel free to give such a wonderful wreath as a gift.”

“Mai is tall, so I just wanted her to sit down for a while to put the wreath on. And even children can make such a wreath in my country. Mai underestimates herself that she doesn’t suit everything. Don’t you think it’s a waste? Even though it’s so cute.”

Lilith desperately appeals to us about the cuteness of the maid.
What are we accusing her of?
I could understand that Lilith was not disrespecting the maid.

“But forcing is not good.”
Frair was as calm as ever.
Lilith turned to the maid reluctantly.

“I’m sorry if you didn’t like it. It was normal to give wreaths in my country, so I wanted you to get them. Like everyone else.”

Everyone else?
We looked around for the first time.
Handmaids, chamberlains, gardeners, and even exclusive guards dispatched from the Royal Knights with a serious face have a wreath on their heads.

“Buha!”
I accidentally blew up.

I’m very curious about what Lilith said to get them to put a wreath on their heads.
Frair bent his body, and he desperately endured his laughter, unable to bear it.

“I don’t understand the reason why you stubbornly refuse after going this far.”
Frair seems to have entered it in a strange place.

“I was raised because my parents denied that it didn’t suit me even if it was fashionable. Her Royal Highness Princess Lilith’s feelings made me very happy, and I wanted to receive it like everyone else. But I didn’t have the courage. Excuse me. It’s too late, but can I have it?”

Smiling at the reserved handmaid’s offer, Lilith put a wreath on the handmaid’s head.
A gentle air flowed between the two of them, and I felt relaxed.

“Lilith, can you make it for me too?”

I didn’t know you had such a hobby, Frair turned that kind of gaze to me.
It’s a misunderstanding. It’s still not enough to determine humanity.
If you don’t listen when Lilith is not around, it’s meaningless.

“Yes, I’ll make it right away, so please drink some tea and wait.”
I watch Lilith skillfully making a wreath.

The flower must have been prepared by the gardener for Lilith.
If you look around, you can see that everyone is looking at her warmly.
The maid I mentioned earlier made me tea, so I asked her secretly.

“Isn’t everyone despised by Lilith? Can you be honest with me for Gresis?”
“No way. She’s a very kind person.”

“Is that so.”
I’m glad that terrible disappointment was unfounded.

“His Highness Timir, it’s done.”
“Thank you. It was really done right away.”

Lilith puts a wreath on my head and smiles.
Yeah, she looks pretty happy.

“After all, please make it for me too.”
Frair suddenly spoke up.

“Yes, I’ll make it for you.”
Lilith doesn’t have a bad face, and she’s making a wreath happily again.

If you look closely, she seems to be changing the type and color of the flowers she choose.
I guess she’s making it with each person in mind.

“It’s an adorable thing. My sister-in-law.”
Frair has an unusually calm face.

“Really.”
I’m sorry for doubting you, but I’m glad I came.

We liked Lilith, and I’m sure that with Lilith, Gresis will be happy too. I thought it was a good harvest.

We returned to the royal palace with peace of mind.
On the way to the office, I met my wife and my mother, the queen.

My wife, who noticed us, opened her eyes wide as if surprised.
I wonder what happened.

“Timi, what happened?”
We completely forgot that we had the wreath on our heads.

“Oh, Lilith made it for me. Hey, Frair.”
“Ah.”

Frail seemed to be embarrassed to be seen by our mother with a wreath on his head, but our mother’s gaze was glued to the wreath, and she didn’t see Frair at all.

“Well, did Her Highness Princess Lilith make that wonderful wreath? Don’t you think it would definitely look better on us than your highnesses? Hey, mother-in-law.”

“Yes, that’s right. We would definitely look better. Absolutely.”
The aura of the two people is amazing.

They only react to valuable things. The wreath made by Lilith seems to be very valuable.
Well, even I know that compared to humans, beastmen who are clumsy with their hands can’t make it.

To be honest, I feel a little sad, but it suits women better than us. If you ask me, well, that’s right.

Frair and I had no choice but to present the wreaths to the women.

It goes without saying that the value of Lilith has increased among my wife and mother.

Timir’s wife calls him Timi as a nickname. It is not a typo. But now we know that the princes didn’t trust Lilith from the start. They did a little investigating first.
