“Prince Felix!” Roxanne exclaimed at the sight of the approaching boy. She stood up and offered him a ladylike bow. “Good day,” she greeted him nonchalantly.

(Mary and Adi, who were observing from afar, muttered, “Perfect score,” in unison.)

Felix also straightened his posture. He cleared his throat, giving Roxanne a bow in return. Although the gesture was still a little unrefined, it created a gentlemanly impression.

(Needless to say, Patrick wordlessly sent the boy a round of applause.)

“Roxanne, you should’ve said you were coming,” Felix told her. “I would’ve come out to greet you.”

“I wouldn’t want to pose...um...” Roxanne hesitated.

“Impose, you mean?”

“Yes! I wouldn’t want to impose on you, Prince Felix,” the girl rectified, taking on a humble attitude despite her reliance on the boy’s help. Then, she removed a letter from her pochette and held it out to him.

“What’s that?”

“An invitation to House Albert’s party. I made it myself.”

“You did?!”

“Yes. We’ll be making a wonderful announcement. I would love it if... I would be honored if...you could show up...?”

“In this situation, you might say, ‘I’d be honored if you could attend,’” Felix offered. “I feel like ‘It’d be my honor to have you as a guest,’ is also appropriate.”

“They’re both good phrases, so it’s hard to decide. But I like the sound of the first one, so let’s go with that. I’d be honored if you could attend!” Roxanne said with a smile, taking Felix’s advice.

The youth’s cheeks flushed instantly at the sight, and in a boyishly loud voice, he called out, “I’ll definitely be there!”

Roxanne’s eyes widened due to his volume, but she nevertheless smiled gently and said, “I hope you look forward to it.”

Alicia watched the children’s exchange with a blissful expression, barely suppressing her laughter. “Felix, Roxanne is running an errand all by herself,” she informed him. “Isn’t she incredible? She’s already a grown-up!”

“W-Well, I can go out by myself too!” he grumbled.

“My, Prince Felix, that’s still too dangerous for you! I’m six now, so I’m an adult. That’s why I can do it,” Roxanne explained proudly, puffing out her chest and flipping her hair aside. The curls—not quite tight enough to be called ringlets—swayed softly with the gesture. Alicia trembled at the adorableness of the little girl’s high-handed attitude, pressing her hands to her cheeks.

In contrast, Felix pursed his lips, then sulkily appealed, “I’m an adult as well.” This, too, was adorable.

Mary, Adi, and Patrick were observing the scene from their hiding spot a good distance away. Of course, Mary and Adi were practically writhing in agony at the cuteness of their daughter, while Patrick affectionately watched his beloved son’s growth.

“Roxanne is the cutest person in the whole world,” said Mary. “Look at her, puffing out her chest so proudly! She’s about to topple over!”

“Yes, how cute!” Adi agreed. “She’s just like you when you were little. You always puffed out your chest like that too. I used to worry that you might fall over at any second.”

“I recall there was a period of time when you and my brothers used to randomly stand behind my back.
