4-koma?

"What the hell is going on?" Lav had a suspicious look on her face as she asked that question.

"What do you mean?" I asked, looking a bit confused on my side as well.

"Well, you've changed ever since you got locked inside with Elanor there." Lav pointed out the most obvious thing out there.

However, it's not like I could tell her the real reason behind my sudden change. So, I decided to lie. "Ah, it's nothing. It was when I got locked with her that I realized that if we had tea with the Crown Prince alone, then there would be rumors about it. However, if it is tea with the crown prince and his fiance, then the rumors will die down on its own. I mean, it becomes an official tea ceremony then." I explained.

Lavinia stood silently for some time. "Hmm, I guess I agree with you on that. However, it's not like the talk that we have during these tea times are typical tea talks or anything." She shrugged as she said that.
