The Grand Duke looked at the servant fussing without changing his expression.

“What’s missing?”

“That… That… That…”

“Tell me properly.”

“That thing the Grand Duke stole from the Imperial Palace has disappeared. I was told to keep it safe in case something unexpected happens… but it seems to have disappeared without a trace.”

Unlike the bewildered servant, the Grand Duke did not even change his expression, as if he had already expected this to happen. On the contrary, the servant’s lips quivered, as if his appearance had frightened him even more.

“Tell me in detail. There wasn’t even a trace but it disappeared?”

“…Yes.”

“Without any signs?”

“Y-Yes.”

“How funny. Since when did the Grand Duke’s house become such a sloppy place?”

The servant could not say anything at all.

His face was clearly smiling, but the energy emanating from the Grand Duke was so heavy that it was difficult to stand. It was even painful to breathe with every step he took and every word he spat, to the point of giving him a headache.

However, he did not know what the condition was and pressured the servant.

“Why can’t you speak?”

“Well, Your Highness, it’s… it’s… it’s…”

“You’re the one who kept an eye on it?”

The servant shook his head heavily at the remark.

“N-No.”

“Right, but it’s really strange.”

“Huh?”

“Compared to the fact that there was no trace… you came too soon. It’s like someone didn’t want to find the trail themself.”

He waved his hand at the sharp remark.

“Oh, no. I… just…”

“Then how did you get here so quickly?”

“Ah…”

“Tell me. How did you get here so quickly even though you weren’t the one protecting it?”

“I just… heard from the person keeping the thing.”

The man, who looked obviously embarrassed, was busy rolling his eyes around.

My body staggered, as if something was bursting out. My mother leaned in front of her in pain, and so did the rest.

“So you don’t care. Are you all going crazy after sitting all this time?”

I looked back at the Grand Duke’s figure, who grinned and looked at my mother. As if it was difficult, my mother’s pale face turned paler.

“Daddy! Stop it!”

Eventually, I had to shout at the Grand Duke.

Only then did my father turn back in surprise and run to my mother at once.

“I was not considerate of you.”

Dad’s voice changed in an instant, as if he became someone else. When my mother couldn’t even raise her head, he hurriedly came near the bed and bowed down.

“Are you okay?”

Seeing my father unleash his strength quickly, my mother lifted her head very slowly.

“I’m fine.”

But no one believed her. My mother’s body trembled.

Dad, who opened his mouth slightly as if to apologize, looked sharply at the servant.

“… Let’s get this over with.”

“Are you coming?”

“I don’t want anyone else to get hurt because of this.”

Like a person who cleared their mind, he looked at my mother with a much more comfortable expression than before. The expression was somehow strange. Even my mother barely raised her head and made eye contact with him.

Somehow, the sight of them made my heart tickle somehow, and I quickly slipped in between the two of them.

“Anyway, Dad can’t do this!”

“I can’t? In what way?”

I nodded without hesitation at the remark.

“In every way. As a father or as a man, you don’t care about my mother.”

I climbed onto the bed and hugged my mom around her waist. Then my mother swept my hair softly and whispered.

“Bebe, you shouldn’t hate your father so much. He’s your real dad that I’ve only just met.”

“Not Daddy!”

Crazy Dad! He doesn’t even think about my mom. He’s so energetic.

I’m sure my mom doesn’t like Dad that way. On one hand, I felt like I had to connect these two people, but on the other hand, I felt that I don’t want her to be next to other people because my mom is mine.

So I looked at my mom with that kind of heart, where she had a strange expression.

“Mom, why is your face like that?”

I asked with doubt, but my mom looked at me and tilted her head.

“What’s wrong with my face?”

“Mom… Daddy did this to you. Are you okay?”

“Of course. It’s fine. He’s a good man.”

What? What was wrong?

Why was he a good person here? Why are they looking at each other like that? My dad looked at my mom with a sad expression, and my mom smiled at my dad.

Ha… It feels like something, but I didn’t know what happened.

With my mouth filled with air, I looked at the two of them with great discontent.

“What? You two are so weird.”

“Is it strange?”

“…No.”
