"Cough, cough…!"
Reiger coughed frantically, choked by the tea he had just sipped.
"Are you alright?"
Yuri was startled too and quickly stroked Reiger's back, attempting to make him more comfortable.
Marilyn frowned and looked at Liz with a somewhat speechless expression.
"You, you're not hurt, are you?"
Seeing such a reaction from Reiger, Liz suddenly panicked, looking like she didn't understand what had happened but felt it must have been her fault.
Despite having just made such a bold statement, Princess Liz was instead frightened by Reiger's reaction, leaving people to wonder whether to describe her as bold or timid.
"…What did you just say?"
Reiger finally managed to catch his breath and couldn't help but ask the pitiful-looking princess.
"Did I hear wrong, or did you misspeak?"
Facing Reiger's unsure inquiry, Liz appeared somewhat uneasy.
"Did I say something wrong?"
The princess herself now seemed uncertain.
