'What is with that weird way of speaking?'
『 Dramatic effects, Master 😉 』
'You know what?'

Arthur pinched the bridge of his nose as he walked down the familiar underground passage of their family's castle.
Alicia, who was in front of him holding the blue lantern, spoke up:
"I heard about what happened yesterday." She giggled softly. "Because of you, five girls including your sister are out of commission?"
Arthur covered his face in embarrassment. "Mom, please don't."
Alicia chuckled. "What? You don't need to be shy."
She turned to face him with an expression he couldn't quite decipher. "So, when are you going to do the same with me?"
Arthur smiled moving closer. "What? Were you jealous?"
