"No need."
Elizabeth watched Philip silently.
Within her eyes, a fleeting hint of displeasure and guardedness was barely discernible. Had Annan not been closely watching her expression, he would have certainly missed it.
Then, Elizabeth quickly displayed a gentle smile very similar to the one before, and quietly said, "I can handle it, Philip. You take care of Prince Annan."
"Oh~"
Philip revealed a smile that bore an unclear meaning, making a drawn-out sound.
He was chewing a melting caramel so vigorously that one could hear the smacking sounds. The creamy fragrance filled his mouth, and one could even see splatters hitting Elizabeth's clothes as he chewed.
Grinning, Philip took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and offered them to Elizabeth: "So—dear sister, want some candy?"
"This is a serious matter, Philip."
