Kyriros-san, amused by my reply, stood up chuckling, and the castle exploration tour began again.
"Speaking of which, Maria-dono. Where are we headed from here?"
"Ah, I was thinking of visiting the garden near Sophia-sama's room. From the garden in front of Maya-sama's room, we can only see the east side. If we go to the south garden near Sophia-sama's room, we won't be able to see the shadow of the Notos United Kingdom, but we can still get a sense of the atmosphere, right?"
"That's right. Since it's far from the Centro Kingdom, we probably won't be able to see the shadow of the Thousand-Year Tree of Notos's capital, but the atmosphere of that garden is similar to that of my hometown..."
"Yes. Raymond-sama has only seen the Ost Empire-style garden from the window of his room. ...... Maya-sama is saying that Raymond-sama should be the Crown Prince, but I want Raymond-sama to choose for himself. That's why I want him to know not only about Middle-earth but also about all the countries in the east, west, south, and north, as well as about other races."
"Your enthusiasm is like that of a mother, isn't it? I agree with that idea as well. His Highness Federico is already the Crown Prince, so it's better not to create unnecessary seeds of strife. ...... Besides, even if Raymond-dono were to become the Crown Prince with this, the other princes wouldn't be able to accept it."
Apparently, they're talking about my brothers.
The Crown Prince, which probably refers to the brother my mother often eggs me on to defeat.
But don't worry, Kyriros-sensei. I have no intention of doing anything as troublesome as a Crown Prince competition.
Rather, how many brothers do I have?
"Now, Raymond-sama! This is the South Garden!"
The garden I was brought to was very fantastical.
At the end of a stem like a giant coil, there was a net-like spherical cage, and inside it, glowing orbs floated.
And everywhere in the garden, there were trees with water flowing through them.
Water flowed from between the leaves of the trees, and the light from the glowing coils reflected in the water.
And on the ground illuminated by the light of the coils and the sunlight, flowers made of sparkling, colorful jewels were blooming.
"Fooohhhhh!!!"
I couldn't help but raise my voice at the sight of the beautiful scenery.
It's completely different from the garden I could see from my room until now.
The garden that could be seen from my room until now was a simple and sturdy garden with a perfect arrangement of green and stone, something similar to a Japanese garden, whereas this garden is pure fantasy.
I desperately stretched out my small hands and waved them around.
Uoooooo! Let me touch it! I have never cursed my small limbs as much as I do now.
"Abubu! Au! Nma!!"
"W-wait, Raymond-sama!? A-bu, it's dangerous!!"
"Prince Raymond!?"
Maria-san, seeing my violent movements for the first time since I was born, desperately hugged me to her chest.
Kyriros-sensei, whom I had only met today, also hurriedly supported Maria-san, holding my body with his arm, startled by my different appearance from just now.
Are they close? Eh, what? Are they getting married?
If you two are getting married, I'll support you with all my might!??
"Who are you?"
While I was thinking about that, I heard the voice of a young child.
"Abu?"
"J-Giancarlo-sama! I apologize, were we noisy?"
Maria-san and Kyriros-sensei knelt on the spot and spoke to the child.
"No. It's okay. Huh? A baby?"
Whether it was because Maria-san knelt and I came into view, the child peered at me with a curious expression.
Lightly wavy, soft golden hair. The round eyes framed by thick eyelashes were a slightly bluish peridot color.
If he had been wearing a skirt instead of pants, I would have mistaken him for a girl without a doubt, but judging from his clothes and name, he's definitely a boy.
He will surely grow up to be a handsome young man in the future.
"Daua?"
When I tilted my head and said that with a feeling of "Who are you?", the child looked at me with sparkling eyes.
"Wow! You're cute!"
He reached out to me with an even bigger smile.
"You're so squishy!"
He poked my cheek happily and smiled, and he was simply cute.
"Yoo's baby?"
"N-no. This is Maya-sama's child, Raymond-sama. He is Giancarlo-sama's younger brother."
"Brover! My brover?!"
The child, showing a violent reaction to the word "brother", looked at me with even more sparkling eyes.
However, is this child my brother?
My brother's face is too good, isn't it??
This means that there is a possibility that I am also handsome.
"Yes. That's right."
"Waa!! John's lied to me! I have brover too!"
I don't know who John is, but is he another one of my brothers?
"You know what! I'm Giancarlo! I'm yoo's older brover!"
My older brother tells me he's my older brother! while kneeling on the ground on Maria's lap and jumping up and down. How cute.
I'm not a shotacon, but this is a level of cuteness that makes it inevitable to awaken as a shotacon.
"Only Rai can call me Gian! John is the only one who can call me Gian, but Rai's special!"
Cute again.
Probably John is also one of my brothers.
This makes me look forward to interacting with my brothers, which I wasn't looking forward to much because of my mother.
I'm going to be a brother complex from today.
