「So, what exactly is Cloud's secret, anyway?」
When he's alone with me, Arthur calls my husband by name without a title.
The awkward tea party eventually ended in silence, and the brothers retreated to my husband's room, saying they had things to discuss.
And so, I was left to keep Arthur company as usual. Mira and Alas were cleaning up the tea party.
I leaned my cheek against my hand by the window and looked down at the two moving around in the courtyard, evading the question by saying,
「I wonder.」
「What the hell. You hinted at something suggestive, but now you're going quiet on the crucial details. That's harsh.」
「It's not that I think it should be hidden, but I also don't think it's right for me to arbitrarily talk about it when my husband himself hasn't said anything.」
「I won't tell anyone I heard it from Melissa!」
「No, if you knew my husband's secret, anyone would figure out you heard it from me.」
In this mansion, there is no one who would be careless with their words.
Both Mira and Alas understand their roles in that regard.
「I'm asking because I think you're the one with the biggest mouth, Melissa. Come on, just tell me.」
「No way. The only thing I can say is that one line from before.」
I couldn't back down here. I could only give hints.
Then, after making a disgruntled face, the angelic little devil asked with a cute face and voice, 「Auntie Melissa, please tell me Uncle's secret.」
「You cunning brat! Still no!」
「Tch, you're stingy!」
The 'cute child' strategy had failed, and Arthur became sullen. He was completely in sulking mode.
「Fine, I don't need you to tell me. But if you don't, then no more holding me. And no more pacifier. You won't get to see your cute nephew!」
「How cowardly!」
As expected of a mental 18-year-old, the threat was fully fleshed out. But he shouldn't think that would deter me.
「That's fine by me. But only if you don't mind getting no present for your birthday, which is coming up soon.」
When I said that, the easily manipulated Arthur's face immediately went pale.
「T-That's dirty!」
「Say what you like. Adults are always dirty, Arthur.♪」
「Grrr...」
Well, eventually, either my husband or Lord Rauldo will explain. Since I am an outsider, it's probably best not to complicate things by talking about the details myself.
Cloud is bad at explaining things, so perhaps I should talk to Lord Rauldo about it.
Thinking, How cute he looks when he pouts and complains, I turned my thoughts to the upcoming birthday party.
Though, the truth is, the present is already prepared.
But the most important gift, I feel, is the time he gets to spend with his father, Lord Rauldo. It would have been perfect if his mother were here too.
I wonder how he truly feels about that?
I had already explained the reason his mother wasn't here, and his reaction was an unreadable 「Hmph.」
Despite having memories of a past life, there are still many actions and words that feel childish, influenced by his physical age.
It makes me feel indescribably sad when I think that he might be lonely.
If I were to add my husband's story on top of that, his tiny brain might just explode.
It's not good to cram too much information in at once. Thinking it best to provide information in small doses, I sighed softly.
At any rate, I decided to make the party lively enough that he wouldn't have time to feel lonely.
In my head, plans were already mounting up.
I decided to think about fun things to lift my sinking thoughts.
──The commotion occurred during that very party.
「Thief!」
Someone shouted, and the sound of shattering glass echoed.
「Arthur?!」
The sight I saw was a thief, clad in black, face hidden, holding a toddler in his arms. It was certainly Arthur... celebrating his first birthday.
「Wait! Give Arthur back!」
I chased after them, desperately reaching out my hand. Arthur, pale, reached out toward me.
My hand cut through the air just short of his small hand.
「Arthur!」
The thief's terrifyingly fast steps were somehow clearly reinforced by magic. I realized I couldn't catch up to him.
「Noooo!」
The thief, who had audaciously invaded during the bright, long summer evening, had successfully kidnapped my annoyingly cute nephew.
「Melissa! Are you alright?!」
