*****
It was too late to regret leaving the courtyard.
Many guests had come to Arthur's birthday party. The atmosphere was lively, and Arthur, who was actually reading the mood and behaving like a one-year-old, was laughing happily.
Yet, it was a mistake to think that a bit of fresh air was a good idea.
A shadow suddenly crept up without a sound. Simultaneously with Arthur saying, 「Ah,」 the weight in my arms suddenly lessened, and Arthur was snatched away.
My outstretched hand couldn't reach him, and his anxious eyes looking at me vanished into the darkness.
「I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault... I'm sorry, Husband, Lord Rauldo!」
「Calm down, Melissa. It's not your fault. It's my fault for allowing the thief to invade.」
My husband gently stroked my back as I sobbed in panic and apologized. It didn't stop my tears, but it calmed me down somewhat.
「Rauldo is chasing him now.」
「Do you think he'll find him?」
「I don't know, but if he fails, I will go.」
「You will, Husband?」
「Yes. Tonight is the night... isn't it?」
As he said that and looked up at the sky.
There was a Zash-zash sound of footsteps parting the bushes, and I hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.
However, the arms of the person who approached us, Lord Rauldo, who was leading a group of security guards, were empty.
「I lost him. He seems to be quite skilled; it was impossible even for me to keep up.」
Lord Rauldo has a talent for swordsmanship and excellent physical abilities. The fact that he couldn't catch up...
「If only I hadn't let go of his hand...」
「No, Sister-in-law, it is not your fault. No one can respond to a surprise attack.」
「But...」
I said, lifting my tear-streaked face. Lord Rauldo's eyes truly held no trace of blame for me.
That only made me cry even more.
How pathetic, how pathetic, how utterly pathetic!
Even though I always act silly, I truly believed that when push came to shove, I would protect him. I genuinely believed that.
My annoyingly cute nephew, who felt like my own child.
「His warmth, his scent, is still on my arms... and yet, my fingertips are growing colder and colder. The scent is fading. Only those anxious eyes cling to me and won't leave...!」
「Melissa, calm down.」
If left alone, I would have continued to blame myself endlessly. I was even prepared to accept punishment.
But my husband gently embraced my trembling body.
「It will be alright. Didn't I tell you? I will go.」
「But...!」
「Leave it to me.」
Saying that, my husband gently kissed my forehead.
And then my eyelids.
My cheek.
And then—my lips.
The transformation occurred at that very moment.
*** Arthur's Perspective ***
Oh, I screwed up, I messed up, I failed.
All sorts of words of regret came to mind, but that didn't mean there was anything I could do about it.
With this powerless, tiny body... there's almost nothing a one-year-old can do.
I'm currently being carried away by a mysterious man in black. I'd be ecstatic if this were a cute, sweet-smelling girl, but I'm not happy at all; it's a rough, stinky man whose lumpy body hurts.
I was enjoying a blissful time at my birthday party, being held by various women who called me cute, only to be kidnapped.
What's going to happen to me?
If they mistook me for the Duke's son, will they demand a ransom?
If they intended to kill me, they would have done it right there, so kidnapping seems like the more likely scenario.
I'm strangely calm because, for now, there seems to be no immediate threat of harm. What happens later, I don't know.
The man eventually got into a carriage that he had parked somewhere, and the carriage sped away at a furious pace.
Looks like we might be leaving the Ducal territory.
(Where on earth are they—)
I took a quick peek and could see several men inside the carriage.
「Alright, success. We'll deliver him to the master right away.」
They must be talking freely because they think I'm just a one-year-old.
I see, so they are hired hands after all. If there's a mastermind involved, I should take a good look at who they are.
If possible, a captivating beauty would be nice.
If my scary uncle knew I was thinking that, he would definitely glare at me.
But right now, he's not beside me.
Neither is my beloved Melissa.
Nor my biological father.
To feel so anxious when no one is around.
I guess I was enjoying my life there more than I thought.
Remembering the peaceful days in the Ducal House, I smiled secretly to myself.
