「Nonnalie...」
Duke Cloud held his head.
「Nonnalie, huh...」
Count Rauldo showed a wry smile.
It was good that Melissa's kidnapper was identified, but perhaps it should be said that the culprit was indeed the same as the one who kidnapped me.
「Was the same mastermind behind my kidnapping also behind this one-shu?」 When I asked, my father Rauldo shook his head and said no.
「The search for information on this kidnapping did start by tracing the mastermind of Arthur's kidnapping. And we quickly identified a certain noble.」
That person was an individual hostile to Duke Cloud... or rather, to the Fondis Ducal House. Since they said it was easy to reach that conclusion, these brothers are clearly excellent.
「However, that noble admitted to the crime of Arthur's kidnapping but claimed to know nothing about Melissa. And we have confirmation that they are not lying about that.」
I wanted to ask how they confirmed the truth, but that is likely an adult-world matter that a one-year-old is better off not knowing. I'll refrain from asking.
Once the employer was known, tracing Nonnalie and her associates was quick. The noble who masterminded my kidnapping, resigned to their fate, readily divulged information about Nonnalie. Soldiers were immediately dispatched to the hideout, but it was already empty. Well, that woman wouldn't be foolish enough to stay in the same hideout for long.
However, Nonnalie was apparently involved in widespread activities, and many people in noble society knew her. For the competent brothers, finding her movements from those connections was apparently not difficult.
And they found Nonnalie... or rather, they discerned Nonnalie's movements.
Whether Nonnalie was involved in Melissa's kidnapping or not—it turns out they didn't even need to confirm that first.
「Someone who knows Nonnalie saw her carriage driving near the border.」
It is highly likely that Melissa is inside that carriage.
「But no one checked inside the carriage-chu, right? What if it's not her?」
「We'll deal with that when the time comes. At the very least, since they kidnapped her, they likely won't kill her immediately.」
That might be true, but there's also the possibility of kidnapping someone only to kill them later.
As my face clouded with worry, a large, warm hand was placed on my head. It was my father, Rauldo.
「There's no fundamental reason to kill Lady Melissa. Kidnapping her... well, it's probably because of the Light Magic she possesses.」
Lord Cloud has already explained Melissa's Light Magic to my father Rauldo. I vividly remember how my father was initially surprised, but quickly adopted a serious expression. He must have thought they needed to rescue Melissa quickly before things got complicated.
「Relax, Arthur. Both my brother and I are strong. Our information gathering was fast, wasn't it? We'll rescue Lady Melissa right away.」
Saying that, my father Rauldo grinned broadly, trying to reassure me. He truly is a good-looking man.
Why did Mom abandon such a handsome guy? Well, if she's been in love with another man all along, perhaps it can't be helped.
「Hey, Father.」
「Yes, what is it?」
「If you rescue Melissa Mama safely, will you remarry Melissa Mama?」
「Yes, Arthur, if you value your life, it's better not to make jokes like that.」
The air instantly froze, and my father Rauldo's face twitched as Uncle Cloud emanated clear killing intent.
If I were to say that wasn't a joke, but the truth, the Duke might seriously lay a hand on his own younger brother.
In that case...
(I guess I shouldn't make the declaration using my 'child privilege' that I'll marry Melissa when I grow up either...)
I value my life, too.
I inwardly smiled wryly, feeling half-joking and half-serious.
