Once the group had escaped to a safe distance, they watched Roxanne and Felix enter Helene’s house as they boarded their carriage. Roxanne looked utterly adorable walking in a sleepy stupor. Felix held her hand to guide her. That doubled or possibly even tripled the cuteness of the scene; in truth, it might’ve increased it by tenfold.

“We’re on standby until they come back out,” Mary decided. “Also, my brothers have shocked me as usual.”

“Yeah,” Patrick replied. “But more than that, the rest of us were shocked by your thickheadedness, Mary.”

“Sink this man, Alicia,” Mary ordered, handing the other girl a cushion. She wanted Alicia to bring Patrick down with it.

Alicia shakily accepted the cushion, but shook her head. “I can’t...” she whispered frailly. Patrick squeezed her trembling hand. She called out his name with deep emotion, and he responded by calling her name in turn.

“What a farce,” Mary scoffed dismissively. Nonetheless, the entire exchange was nothing more than a joke from her perspective too. Although she had started it herself, she gave up on it quickly enough and glanced out of the window.

Alas, her brothers’ behavior truly surprised her every time. Yet what a wonderful story it was all the same!

“My brothers have finally experienced the fashionable feeling of longing for a woman,” she said. “I thought their slider only went between doting on their younger sister and doting on their niece.”

“I know they’re your family, but that’s still a dubious way to put things,” Patrick told her.

“I can’t help it. I mean, lately my brothers have been devotedly spoiling Roxanne, decorating Albert Manor with articles related to her, and summoning artists to paint her whenever they have a free moment.”

Ever since Roxanne was born—no, ever since Mary had announced her pregnancy, the twins had been explosive with joy. Every day, they did something for the sake of their new relative. Occasionally, their actions could spiral out of control. The technologically advanced carriage Mary was inside of was one such example.

Even though her brothers often exasperated her, she respected their choices. Sometimes an outsider might butt in and say things like “Perhaps they should calm down a bit,” or “They’re members of House Albert, after all,” but Mary didn’t want to hear it. Lang and Lucian were who they were, and they had the right to live freely according to their beliefs.

“I want them to be able to follow whatever path they choose, just as they allowed me to do. Whether that’s developing a new carriage for their beloved niece, or marrying Helene and adopting Anna, as long as it’s something they choose for themselves, I will welcome it with open arms,” Mary declared.

Outsiders were sure to whisper behind their backs. When Mary and Adi had gotten married, people who weren’t in the know had made up all kinds of things too.

But in the end, that was just the drivel of outsiders. Mary was ready to accept her brothers’ decisions, and she was prepared to protect Helene and Anna from indecent gossip.
