I arrived at Mother's room while happily frolicking with the beautiful Father.
I was a little nervous.
It seemed like Father was too, as his arm that was holding me tightened just a bit.
".........Yeah. I have to face her properly."
Saying that, Father knocked on the door to Mother's room.
"Oh? Who could it be? Come in?"
At those words, Father took a deep breath and opened the door.
"Hey. Maya. It's been a while."
"Fwehh!? A, Abramo-sama!?"
At Father's sudden visit, Mother blushed like a maiden.
"W-Why is Abramo-sama in my room!?"
She immediately stood up from the chair she was sitting on, and slid all the way to the end of the room, the curtains near the window, and hid behind them.
"W-Why is Abramo here!? It's outrageous to enter my private room without my permission!"
"S-Sorry, Maya."
"If you're going to apologize, please don't enter from the start!"
Father started to look dejected at Mother, who seemed to be angry with a red face.
"Father, Father. What she means is that you should have told her in advance so she could get dolled up."
"Raimond!?"
Whether it was because I hit the nail on the head, Mother raised her voice, her face turning even redder.
"W-Why would I have to doll myself up for Abramo!?"
"This is just her being shy. She doesn't mean it, Father! Push on!"
"R-Raimond!? Whose side are you on, me or Abramo!?"
"Of course I'm on Mother's side! Go, Father! Embrace Mother!"
"R-Raimond!?"
It was like a comedy skit.
I shouted "Go, go! Push on!" and Mother, her face red to her ears, panicked.
In response, Father let out a chuckle.
"Fufu. Ahahaha! You're a much lovelier person than I knew, Maya."
"Fwaahh!??!"
With me in one arm, Father approached Mother.
"Hiii!? D-Don't come any closer!!"
"Rai?"
"She's embarrassed and doesn't want you to get closer. Don't be shy, Father. She doesn't really hate it."
"I see, good to know. Then I won't hold back."
Saying that, Father really approached Mother without holding back, pulled Mother, who was wrapped in the curtains, by the hand, and hugged us all in his arms.
He looks slender, but he's surprisingly muscular.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hold a six-year-old in one arm for so long, even if it's a child.
Mother, who was being hugged in Father's arms, seemed to be tense, her body stiffening.
"I'm sorry. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't realize your true feelings until Rai told me. I'm a pitiful man, but I want to talk to you properly again."
Those words were probably shocking to Mother, because Mother's eyes, right next to him, widened as if she couldn't believe it, and tears began to flow from them.
"W-Why! Why are you saying something like that now......!"
"Yeah.........I'm sorry."
"I-I won't forgive you! I, I've been, all along......!"
Father, with a gentle smile, hugged Mother, who was clinging to his chest and crying, even more tightly.
Now that I think about it, Mother and Father are supposed to have a 15-year age difference.
From Mother's perspective, Father is an old man more than 10 years older than her, and the King of Central Country is practically the most powerful person in this world.
I don't know what the Eastern country is like, but how did Mother feel when the Emperor told her to marry Father?
She probably thought she was going to be taken advantage of by some old geezer, but since she got the gentle Father as her partner, it's understandable that she fell in love with him.
Besides, Mother is definitely an sheltered daughter.
She's been loved and given everything, so she's in that situation with no immunity to men, so it's safe to say that she was destined to fall in love.
On the other hand, Father probably didn't know how to deal with his new wife, who was more than 10 years younger than him.
So Mother took Father's hesitation negatively, and Father couldn't actively get involved, so it got more and more twisted...
Huh? Troublesome??
The harm of not talking properly is being born in a place like this.
"Father, Father. You should talk to Mother properly. I'll be waiting with Federico-nii-sama, so please talk properly. Mother, if you can't put it into words honestly, at least show your affection with actions, like holding Father's hand."
Saying only that, I slipped out of Father's arms and left through the door I had come through with Father, this time alone.
Before closing the door, I turned to look at the two of them and said one word.
"Father, Mother. I want a younger sister."
"R-RAIMOOONDDD--!?!?!?!"
".........Would a younger brother be okay?"
"ABRAMO!!??"
"I'll love a younger brother too!"
I gave Father a thumbs up.
