''What are you guys doing?!'' Elizabeth shouted with an furious tone that surprises both Asher and Charlotte.
It's their first time seeing her like this, while Olivia isn't surprise because she knows that Elizabeth have a moment of like this, but it's still her first time seeing her became mad so her eyebrows rise a little and glared at those two for making her precious Elizabeth get angry.
While Asher is a little surprise, but...
Though he already knows she's going to be like this, but not this exaggerated!
Because she looks like she's going to cry and it's too adorable!
It's because of the two of them, who's just making each other mad, It's nothing serious but Elizabeth take it too seriously...
(AN: Her expression looks like the pouting Aqua, the big eyes! I think it's on the rock paper scissors part? But she is mad.)
Charlotte immediately hugged her tightly, her eyes tells you that she already have a plan on fooling Elizabeth so she won't be mad at her.
''Ah! I'm so sorry Elizabeth! I have sinned against you! What have I done?!'' She shouted, apologizing to Elizabeth with an exaggerated tone and comedically posed at the same time to make Elizabeth laugh, calming her anger.
''Hehe...'' Charlotte's action works, it make Elizabeth chuckle!
'Ugh... That's so embarrassing!' Charlotte's face became red after she realized that her action is too cringe! She even saw Asher make a disgusted face after he saw her antics, which she felt it's a normal reaction because she react the same too!
Elizabeth then calmed down... A little, but that doesn't make her calm her angry mind!
''Why are you guys insulting each other? You guys just have met! And more importantly, you guys are my two friends... It hurts me to see you guys hurting each other with words...'' Elizabeth didn't know why her two friends suddenly hate each other when they met!
Charlotte immediately felt guilty at the expression of Elizabeth.
Who wouldn't feel guilty at making those adorable face cry?
''Oh... Elizabeth, It's just an play between the two of us so don't take it seriously too much.'' Charlotte is a quick thinker. So she can make a lie she can confidently to say and you won't even notice she lied to you.
''Oh... Is that it?'' She then look at Asher and Charlotte like they are a weirdo.
'That's a pretty weird play...' Elizabeth and Olivia have the same thought when they heard Charlotte's excuse, it's their first time seeing a play like that...
''Mhm.'' They both nodded at her, their facial expression is so normal that it work on Elizabeth to think they aren't lying but she still have some doubts.
''You don't need to take it seriously Elizabeth, me and Charlotte are getting along pretty fast, you know?'' Asher lied naturally as he breaths, surprising Charlotte.
This lie make Elizabeth's doubt completely disappeared.
After that lie,
Charlotte eyed on Asher as if she's declaring him as her rival.
She is pretty shocked this time because she never thought that Asher is a good liar, considering his age.
She arrogantly thought that she's only the children in her age that is good at lying at this empire, at least she only thought on noble kids.
Looking at the innocent face of many children nobles, it's not surprising when she thought she's only the mischievous and a good liar at her age.
'I guess you really can't underestimate him...' Charlotte cautiously thought.
Charlotte then stop thinking and look at Elizabeth.
''....'' Her friend, Elizabeth is suddenly quiet...
''....'' Elizabeth's face is slowly turning red and redder every second.
''Uuuu...!'' She then covered her face with her hands while making a cute sound.
She felt shame and embarrassed right now! She just shouted at the two of her friends because of the misunderstanding!
That exclaim even attracted nobles near at her table.
Luckily, they stop looking at her and focus on what they are doing earlier. They can't do anything to her or say anything bad to her considering Elizabeth's high status so they just continued doing their things.
Anyway, she shouted the two of her friends from misunderstanding!
''I'm so sorry for shouting the both of you from misunderstanding... Please forgive me for being a bad friend! and don't leave me! '' She then bowed and apologize to the two friends of hers, while hey eyes are slowly getting wet and red
She's really scared if that shout make them fear her, then leaving her alone in the next day.
Of course she's just overthinking.
''...'' Asher and Charlotte is just silent, that make Elizabeth more nervous.
'Are they going to leave me? Uuu... I shouldn't shouted them like that! Elizabeth, you stu-' Her self blame thoughts quickly got interrupted by Charlotte.
She just said it's fine and nothing serious so she doesn't need to bow and cry to them.
Asher did the same while consoling her.
''It's fine Elizabeth. You're our friend too so you don't need to overreact and apologize to us too much at that misunderstanding.'' Asher tried to console her from overreacting again...
Maybe this will be a tiring journey.
''Really?'' She asked with an big adorable eyes with slightly wet from almost crying that is looking at Asher with a questioning gaze.
Asher gritted his teeth and tried to calm down on his desires to hug Elizabeth tightly and say yes while consoling her much much more.
He's a cute lover too!
Maybe it will be a tiring and fun journey.
''Yes, Elizabeth so you don't need to cry and bow to us from your overreaction.'' Asher said with an serious expression on his face, telling Elizabeth to stop thinking too much and overreact.
In the future, this troublesome personality might end her life so he needed to advice her on early age.
''I'm not saying to not worry about us or stop being cheerful to us, It's just that... It might lead you doing something dangerous.''
''...'' This serious conversation is making Elizabeth overthink and became quiet.
Seeing the serious expression of her friend, Elizabeth decided to trust it.
''Okay~!'' Elizabeth smiled. She is back from almost crying to a cheerful one, It change so fast like her like sad and mad expression before is a lie.
'That is great... I don't want my relationship with her to be one-sided.' Asher sighed in relief, but when he think about what he did to Charlotte earlier...
He then look at the progress quickly.

----
'Hah... That's great that my taunts didn't affect her that much.' It's Asher's plan to make Charlotte be interested on him, so he did that.
He's not petty enough to make Charlotte became so mad at him, but just enough so she can be interested at him, making her interact with him and slowly fall in love in the future.
He can keep he's emotions on check, even if he hate someone so much so he didn't do that for no reason.
''Oh! Wait! You guys interrupted me for introducing Olivia!'' Elizabeth realized Asher still don't know Olivia, because she got interrupted by the two of her friends.
Well they didn't interrupted her but they did distract her and make her misunderstand of something.
''Asher, this is Olivia! She's a girl that isn't like those spoiled noble kids!''
''...'' They became quiet that make Elizabeth confused.
'Aren't you too a spoiled one?' They all have the same thought.
Elizabeth is known to be spoiled to her parents in the empire.
Well she isn't really really spoiled but she like to be spoiled by her parents.
''Hey! I felt like you guys are thinking something rude to me!''
''It's just your imagination.'' Charlotte refuted.
''Okay... I have some doubts but I will continue introducing Olivia.''
''Olivia is strangely mature- or that was they say to her from the adults. She also like cute things like a small teddy bear or a small white fox!''
''She is also talented girl like me! She is a kind caring girl that she never shown to the people she cared about.'' She introduced Olivia like she is a saint, and that make Olivia felt embarrassed.
What is this adorable creature saying?!
Though she is cold, she still have shame and embarrassment too!
''Elizabeth! You're wrongly introducing me.'' Olivia complained when she can't take it anymore. That shame and embarrassment she felt when Elizabeth is still introducing her!
''But it's true! So you don't need to feel embarrassed at your true self is showing to others! Your true self is great so you don't need to hide it!'' Elizabeth retorted, trying to make reasons so she can say to everyone of Olivia's true self!
She doesn't wanted her friend, Olivia to be lonely so she did this!
Olivia is a lonely person, she doesn't have a friend except Charlotte and Elizabeth.
She really doesn't meet anyone extraordinarily or something abnormal she will like to have friends too.
All she met everyday is noble kids who are sometimes envious, or fell in love with her at first sight because of her beauty.
It doesn't interest her or gain her curiosity so she ignore them.
'Hah... Should I leave in this empire? No, I should take advantage of it before leaving.' She thought at that day when she didn't enjoy here at the empire.
She's at the someone mansion.
It's from Marquess Evan, she's at his son's birthday party.
But at that day, she met Charlotte and Elizabeth. The 'Abnormal' ones that make her sometimes honest on her feelings on them.
She's really confused at that day.
That was last year ago.
Day by day,
It pretty much shocks her when she felt comfortable from the two of them.
They are the only one who reveal her true feelings whom she always hide to other people so they are very special person to her.
She will protect them...
She knows her little brother's obsessiveness to her and she didn't even care about it.
Why would she? He would just use his own sister too, like a tool if he doesn't have his obsessiveness to her. That's what she learn when she observe Cylde's personality.
A fake, evil, traitorous, cold and apathetic person. He's the type of guy she really really dislike the most.
It's on her top 5 most hated list.
'Maybe I will kill him in the future, I can't let him make trouble to me.' She cruelly thought, even she doesn't hesitate to kill someone who's her family who will make trouble for her.
Maybe Cylde might threatened her best friends in the future.
''Hah... Do whatever you want.'' Well she can't really stop Elizabeth so she just let her, while enduring the big embarrassment inside her.
''Okay~!'' She then continued introducing Oliva like she is an tsundere girl, which is true.
They then continue having fun conversation and playing at the same time in the back yard.
Until it ends.
''Bye Asher! Let's meet again if we can!'' Elizabeth waved at Asher while smiling.
She really have fun today! Plus her friends collection grow!
''Goodbye Rival! Thanks for the fun time.'' Charlotte mischievously smiled while saying good bye to Asher and declaring him as her rival at the same time.
Asher is only the worthy rival that is good at lying.
Maybe Olivia too but she's too scary!
Anyway, she have fun at this party with her only friends while gaining an rival.
A really worth it party.
''Mhm.'' Olivia just waved at Asher with her usual expression, a blank face.
Just as usual with Elizabeth, she did have fun.
She did discovered something and that is having an conversation with Asher is pretty interesting, like he's pretty mature at his age? Like her.
But she's still cautious to him, even after observing him but she doesn't view him as a person that will try to hurt Elizabeth.
That's what her observation skill told her after she observe him for the whole time.
''Bye.'' Asher smiled and wave with his whole right arm repeatedly at the slowly disappearing silhouette of the three main heroine.
'It's a success.'
[That's great, host! Now be prepared for the incoming of the loud sound.] The loli guide praised and warn him from the incoming loud sound.
'Okay.' He thought while walking in the mansion to go to his room.
[Ding!]
He stopped walking.
'....' Asher felt his ear bleed.
[The quest is successful!]
But it's worth it.
