*****
Kicking the door open with a bang, we poured into the study. ...Well, I was in Mira's arms, but let's ignore the details for now.
「Lord Cloud, Lord Rauldo!!」
「What is it? So noisy.」
Cloud, who looked up from his documents, had prominent dark circles under his eyes. He must have been busy dealing with the aftermath of the kidnapping and hadn't slept a wink. Poor guy.
Rauldo, who is my biological father, was lying on the sofa, demonstrating magnificent deep sleep. Why are you sleeping so carelessly, man! That's why Mom ran away from you!
「Lady Melis—」 「She's go-one!」 「—sa is gone!」
My words were forcefully inserted into Mira's line. The gravity of the situation was instantly conveyed, and Uncle Cloud stood up with a bang.
「Melissa is, what?」
「She is gone, My Lord!」
「Are you certain?」
「Yes. As a precaution, I searched the entire mansion with Lord Arthur, but she is nowhere to be found!」
「Damn it, what is this, one thing after another! Hey Rauldo, wake up!」
「Gooooh~~~, ow! Huh?」
Even with Mira and me making such a loud fuss, why is my old man so relaxed? Uncle Cloud lightly nudged the head of the sleeping Rauldo on the sofa, and then swiftly put on his jacket.
「How long has she been out of sight?」
「Since she got up this morning and had breakfast...」
「So, you haven't seen her for a few hours?」
「Yes. I apologize.」
「Don't apologize. The whole mansion has been busy cleaning up after the party and the kidnapping incident. Mira has no fault in this.」
My uncle spoke gently to the downcast Mira, but I could see the impatience in his eyes.
The bedtime story I heard before sleeping... My uncle's strong feelings for Melissa are genuine. Without a doubt, my uncle must be the one feeling the most anxiety and worry about her disappearance.
Yet, as the head of the family, he didn't show it. I honestly thought he was amazing for trying so hard to maintain his composure.
「Huh, Lady Melissa is gone!?」
Finally awake, you idiot old man.
Rauldo, having heard the situation, scrambled up and looked at my uncle.
「Lord Arthur's kidnapping, followed by Lady Melissa's disappearance... Is there a connection?」
「Who knows? But assume the possibility is high. Rauldo, gather any information, no matter how trivial, related to the kidnappers.」
「I've already given the orders. Something should be coming in from the informants soon.」
Saying that, Rauldo left. Informants and stuff, that sounds cool!
Uncle Cloud saw him off, then put a hand on his chin, looking thoughtful. He really is handsome when he's silent. Well, I'm his relative, so I'm reasonably handsome too... but this is not the time to be thinking about that.
「Uncle...」
Anxious, I instinctively looked up at his face, and my eyes met my uncle's, who finally turned his gaze to me, still in Mira's arms.
「Is Melissa Mama o-kay...?」
My mind, which was being pulled by my physical age, was clawing at my childish heart. I felt so worried I was about to cry.
My feelings must have reached him.
Uncle Cloud gently placed a hand on my head and said, 「Don't worry.」
「Melissa will definitely come back safely. Absolutely... I promise.」
I didn't sense any lie in those words. Even though there was no basis for it, I felt I could believe him.
Uncle Cloud believed that Melissa would return safely. And that he would make it happen.
Then I'll believe him too. I'll believe the bedtime story I heard in bed. I'll believe that their secret will surely protect them both.
「If there's anything I can do, I'll he-welp!」
But that said, sitting still isn't in my nature. My uncle let out a small smile at my earnest gaze.
「Thank you. But it's alright.」
Saying that, he looked out the window.
「If anything happened to Melissa, my heart wouldn't be able to bear it. But right now, I feel nothing, which tells me she is safe. If she is safe... then all that remains is to find her. I can't imagine her running away, so it must be kidnapping, or else...」
But there is one thing he knows.
My uncle said, in a low voice.
「If anyone dares to lay a hand on even a single strand of Melissa's hair, then...」
Uncle Cloud cut off his words there.
But I heard the unspoken words, and my throat bobbed.
(If you dare harm Melissa, consider yourself without a life. I will kill you, slowly and painfully.)
That's what my uncle said, with silent voice.
