"Thank you for saying that, that gave me a bit of courage."
"....Saying what?"
When Arthur asked back wondering, Grace replied without hesitation.
"From now on, I will honestly tell you everything about the fantasy I have seen or the scary things I have experienced."
".......!"
"At least... I wanted to share everything I'd go through or have gone through with you by my side, Arthur."
"....Grace."
"So I'm sorry, but please bear this fear with me. I want you to think about why this is happening to me and how we can get out of this together...... Can I?"
Looking at him with a trembling gaze, Grace said so. Then Arthur, who was looking at her with persistent eyes, hugged her, instead of answering.
Then he replied in an emotional voice.
"Of course. Feel free to tell me. I'll take care of everything and bear it. And I will also tell you everything without hiding if you ask me anything."
"Thank you for saying so."
"I'm grateful for everything.... You don't have to go through it, but you don't know how much I love, appreciate and feel sorry for you for being around someone like me."
"...Arthur."
"I can't believe that someone like me is receiving the heart of a noble person like you."
Arthur stared at Grace with passionate, verbal eyes. At that moment, Grace felt as if her soul was being sucked into the strange blue and red odd eyes. She was staring at Arthur's face, who was getting closer to her with a dazed look.
Du-Duke! Duke!
Someone rushed up the stairs calling for Arthur.
Right at that moment, Grace came to her senses and quickly fell out of Arthur's arms. Arthur glared displeasedly at him as he heard his voice.
There stood Sir Oliver, holding a letter in one hand, and Sally, standing beside him, looked timidly at them.
Sir Oliver smiled awkwardly and looked at two of them in the strange atmosphere and asked.
"Did I interrupt your cozy time, by any chance?"
"......I'm sure I told you not to let anyone in here."
Instead of answering Sir Oliver's question, Arthur asked Sally, who stood next to him. Then Sally tightened her back deeply and replied with a voice full of embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, Duke. Sir Oliver brought a letter for the Duchess and asked to meet you..."
"What?"
"What? To me?"
Grace, who was awkwardly looking down next to Arthur, at Sally's reply, suddenly looked up. Usually, the letters she received came in through Sally's side, but she wondered who on earth sent them to Arthur's side.*
[*T/N: I am kinda confused about this, so this part might not be fully correct.]
Grace looked back at Arthur with a strange gaze, and Arthur tilted his head and asked.
"Who sent the letter, Sir Oliver?"
"......That's, the Duke of Alberton."
"What? Your father*?"
