My Secret Which I Haven't Told Him (Not That I Intended to Keep it Secret)


Translated by: S3

Treat me to a Ko-Fi to give me more motivation!!!



*****

It ran, it ran. The black beast galloped fiercely through the night's darkness.

Even with me on its back, the massive beast did not slow its speed, charging onward with fury.

The wind, which sliced at my ears, howled byu-byu.

I could see Lord Rauldo following a little way behind on his horse.


「Are you not cold, Sister-in-law?」

「I'm fine.」


Although we left in a hurry, I was perfectly prepared. I was wearing plenty of clothes.


「You could have waited at the mansion...」


As Rauldo said that, I saw the beast nod as if in agreement.

But that was an unacceptable suggestion.


「Arthur was kidnapped because of me. There's no way I could just sit and wait, doing nothing.」


The warmth of him had completely vanished from my arms. To think I would feel such loneliness over it...


「Sister-in-law is completely a mother now.」


The moment Lord Rauldo said that, the beast emitted a killing intent, making me smile wryly. It seemed to be saying: She is a mother, but not Lord Rauldo's wife!


「You become short-tempered when you're in this form. That's not good.」


When I lightly tapped the back of its head peshi, it let out a whimper kuuun, and I couldn't help but laugh inappropriately.

However, the beast did not slow its pace. It continued to run at an incredible speed, and I pulled my clothes up to cover my mouth.


(To track a scent while running this fast... Impressive.)


The beast could easily detect the residual scent of the child that humans couldn't.

Following the scent, the beast kept running.

We were heading for my cute nephew, towards the kidnapper.


(Wait for me, Arthur!)


It didn't take long before the target mansion came into view.


***


A building, a bit too small to be called a mansion, like a noble's villa, stood alone in the wilderness.

I wondered what was fun about building something here, but it was probably constructed on the premise that almost no one would visit. In other words, it was a building for carrying out something nefarious.

Lights were visible in the mansion, proving people were inside.

Suddenly, several people in black outfits came scrambling out.


「As expected, they aren't so foolish as to not notice us.」


Saying that, Lord Rauldo smoothly drew his sword while still on horseback.

His talent for swordsmanship was greater than Lord Cloud's... no, he was likely one of the top three in the country. He smiled fearlessly.


(When he makes that face, the dissimilar brothers feel a little alike.)


I briefly recalled an image of Lord Cloud I had seen before... No, this isn't the time to be thinking about that.

I shook my head and changed my mindset.

Armed men other than those in black outfits came out of the mansion. They were likely security.

Lord Rauldo mowed them down bassa-bassa all by himself. Facing that many people, he was still using the blunt side of his sword and not killing them—that was truly amazing. It showed the level of composure he possessed.

The beast stopped, watched Rauldo's movements, and then looked up. Its gaze was fixed on a second-floor window. A room with the lights on.


「Is that it?」


The beast quietly nodded to my question and then started running. Right into the heart of the enemy!


「Waaah, I can't do anything at all!?」


I have held things heavier than a spoon since birth... but while I've held various things with these hands, I've only held a sword a handful of times. Are you charging into the enemy with me, who is completely useless in a fight!?

In response to my near-scream, the beast quickly glanced back at me. Its eyes seemed to say, (「You're fine, right?」). No, it was probably saying exactly that.

That wasn't a test; it was certainty. Trust. The beast believed in me.

Our eyes met for an instant. But that instant was enough.


「Good grief... it can't be helped. I'll get serious too.」


I smirked and concentrated magical power into my right hand.

Few people know. Among family, my younger siblings don't know, only my parents know. Lord Cloud knows, but Lord Rauldo doesn't. My magical power.

I extended my right hand, concentrated with massive magical power, towards the mansion... and quietly, yet fiercely, I unleashed it!

The mansion shook with a roar. At the same moment as the sound of doors and windows shattering echoed, I screamed.


「Arthurrrrrrr!!!!」


The name of my annoyingly adorable nephew.
