Cedelloi, with a tired expression, rubbed his forehead and instructed Jemero to bring the children. The soft sounds of small footsteps reached his ears, and Arianthe, with open arms, leaped into the room first. Swan hesitated for a moment, then followed, and finally, Maiana entered.
“What brings the three of you here together?”
A joyful expression appeared on Cedelloi’s face. The fatigue that was present just moments ago seemed to have disappeared from his face as he watched the trio.
“I missed Father!”
Arianthe rushed into Cedelloi’s arms without reservation.
Every time Cedelloi felt the overflowing love from Arianthe, he also sensed a change in his own feelings. While he had always cherished Arianthe, recently he realized that the emotions he felt were not as literal and dry as before.
Whenever Arianthe called him Father and affectionately embraced him, Cedelloi occasionally felt a warmth close to joy.
As if getting closer to him just now, Cedelloi realized what it truly meant to love Arianthe sincerely. Finally.
“Is it because the ban on going out has been lifted?”
Cedelloi’s teasing question made Arianthe puff up her cheeks like a chipmunk, then she burst into laughter.
“It’s not completely lifted yet! But I went for a walk with Ash earlier, so I feel a bit better.”
“Yeah, I heard. Did Swan go with you too?”
As he turned his head, Swan, who had been hesitating in the background, nodded with a repentant expression.
Cedelloi sensed that Swan had something to say. Just as he was about to ask what it was, Ash’s words flashed through his mind.
[Even if I ask, that kid won’t speak, so there’s nothing I can do.]Holding Arianthe in one arm, Cedelloi extended the other.
“Come here, Swan.”
Swan, with a surprised look, alternately glanced at Cedelloi and Arianthe, then hesitated before approaching him.
However, he stopped walking, leaving only about one step of distance. Cedelloi extended his arm and gently pulled Swan closer, firmly embracing both children.
“Tell me what interesting things happened during your walk.”
Upon which, Arianthe chirped like a lark.
“I saw a squirrel! And a rabbit too! It was a very white and pretty rabbit. Father, can’t we catch it and raise it?”
“Well, it’s a rabbit. It’s okay to catch and raise it, but can you provide food and take care of it? And rabbits are very timid.”
Swan said.
“It was still a young rabbit. If we bring it, wouldn’t it want to see its mom and dad?”
“Then bring the mom and dad rabbits along too.”
When Arianthe retorted, Swan pouted slightly.
“Rabbits have lots of babies. The mansion will be filled with rabbits.”
“Really! The Duke’s estate is so vast!”
“Kids, don’t fight.”
Cedelloi, mediating the squabble between the children, smiled at Maiana. It was a gaze that seemed to ask what the real purpose of this visit was, filled with affection and a hint of inquiry.
Maiana said.
“My lady, didn’t you have something to say to the Duke?”
“Oh, right! Father, can I sleep with you tonight?”
A puzzled Cedelloi blinked.
“With me? Even Swan?”
As he looked at Swan, the boy’s face lit up with joy. Seeing Swan smile so broadly was a rare sight.
“Is it okay, Master?”
He asked, and before Cedelloi could answer, Arianthe eagerly jumped up.
“Please say yes, Father!”
Cedelloi tilted his head slightly, petting the heads of the two children.
“Alright, let’s do that. Maiana?”
“Yes, Your Grace. What would you like to say?”
“Will you come too?”
In response to the unexpected question, Maiana, looking bewildered, glanced around for a moment.
“What are you talking about? It’s unreasonable.”
“Why is it unreasonable? My bed is spacious. Two adults and two children can easily sleep together.”
Cedelloi spoke with a teasing tone, and Maiana looked at him disdainfully.
At that moment, Arianthe, who had been nestled in Cedelloi’s arms, blinked her blue eyes, gazing alternately at the faces of the two. Then, suddenly, as if grabbing Swan’s hand, she seized it.
“Oops! Why, Arianthe?”
Surprised, Swan asked, but Arianthe, without properly answering, dragged him and ran through the open door.
“Where are you going, my lady?”
“We have something to talk about!”
And with a bang, the door closed.
The two remaining people, left in confusion, stared at the closed door with eyes full of questions and suspicions. When their eyes met, Maiana shrugged.
“It seems like they’ve come up with some secret plan.”
“Have they become close, thanks to Ash?”
“Probably. Since they came back from the walk, both of them seem different from yesterday.”
Cedelloi gently grasped Maiana’s shoulders, leading her to sit on the sofa. Even then, he did not sit next to her immediately but stood behind her for a moment, moving his hands slowly, as if untangling a messy braid.
Feeling his fingers touching the skin revealed outside the collar, Maiana hesitated for a moment, then turned her head to give him a teasing look.
“Why did you make such a joke earlier?”
