Chapter 63
Yeah . First of all, this is the edge of the royal city, as you mentioned . But Im not going to tell you in detail what is the objective of this operation, because of the risk . Its for you .
My husband started the explanation
I was released from the princesss hug, and I sat on the sofa where our knight, now an older sister, was sitting . Of course, my husband is sitting next to me without any distance between us . The subordinates went to the next room . I dont have to worry so much .
Im based here now because of my duties . Even though its in the royal city, its in the outskirts of the city, so we dont attract attention . We pretend to be some road musician merchants who bought a villa . Only the residents around here know that Im the Duke of Rosia and thats because its a village and they will inquire about the ident.i.ties of any new people until the end . The only problem that came until now was that merchant whos gaving me extra effort to fulfill this mission .
This is a very delicate story because its related to his job, but my husband told me only information that would not present any problem for me .
Thats why were putting this much effort into the clothes and outfit, etc
I cant get ahold of myself . Being honest, Im stuck with words and staring at my husband
Im sorry Ive been worried about being a boring husband for you, and thats why I let this mystery be . Oh, yes . The lover and our subordinate was the same person, and if my story alone cant be believed . theres Lotus too who can testify and show you the evidence .
My husband calls out to the front door from where we entered first, not the door of the room where the subordinates are . You said lotus? Then, in response to my husbands voice, an answer Yes came back . And someone opened the door without making any sound, isnt Lotus a superb butler? Im sure he has been seeing me from when I left the house .
Lotus!
I was surprised and started to stand up to run to him, but my husband stopped me . Lotus looked at us and smiled gently . My husband asked Lotus to close the door and then he began to speak again,
Tell us about the report Lotus .
An order came for Lotus . Lotus, who heard that, began to read a letter from his chest pocket .
Yes . After that rumor, we looked at that place and here, the woman being witnessed was consistent with the appearance of one of our knights .
There was a lot of information about when he was first seen here and when was the knight being witnessed as lover-, but I kept it through . I dont know who moved the threads for such detailed information to come to be, but it was a fulfilling content that I couldnt help but admire . They had investigated so far in such a short time from noon .
How about now? There is also an objective testimony clearing any doubts .
My husband, who was silently listening to the report of Lotus, asked me about my opinion and feelings regarding this misunderstanding .
In other words, this mistress was a camouflage for my husbands work .
Thats right, if Lotus says so I believe .
What is the job of Lotus? and what is his intelligence for him to be lied to? (What is the top of Lotus intelligence is a mystery)! He deserves to be trusted in every word!
My husband showed a subtle change of expression for a moment, but withdrew it immediately,
Okay! Its good that you cleared any doubts! I cant concentrate on my work knowing that youre suspicious of me!
My opinion is irrelevant was it good to talk to me about something so important?
A smile slowly emerged on my husbands face . The chilly atmosphere that he had worn so far relaxed, and I sunk deeply into the back of the sofa, leaking a sigh of relief .
Certainly the suspicions have been dispelled, but
I think this was a secret story from work as well .
Now, Im terrified at the seriousness of things .
Are you leaking work information to me, a citizen? Isnt this dangerous? If Im not good enough, my husband may end up being fired because he has a duty of confidentiality!
Even though I was impatient, my husband laughed calmly and grinned .
Ive been here so far in the shades of this kingdom, and Im going again into the darkness to work . No one ever knows where Im and wont know too .
Are you implying that you dont care if I know or not about this?
I agree
Lets better rest and forget this . Im not very convinced, but lets leave it at that .
In any case, you can talk to your family about this to some extent . In the current situation, Im working in a remote area of the capital city . If they ask .
I see
You are b.u.t.tering me! As I look up at my husband who is smiling freshly, I raise a question that came up in my mind from a while ago .
A small family doesnt represent any risk for you?
Thats right .
Then you shouldnt have told me . We dont affect you in anyway, its better to ignore me .
What are you talking about? Rather, it was important because Viola, youre my wife .
I felt like he was vomiting sweet words .
Isnt your words just for decoration?
When I saw my husbands face, he turned his head towards me and took my hands . He had a smile on his dark brown eyes, but he had a serious face . What is happening? I can only stare back .
I want you to realize once and for all . Its about time When I broke up with Karen, I told you, I love you . I want to be a real couple, not a contract .
My heart jumped up to my husbands words, and immediately I looked away . My hands, held between his hands, are hot .
Until now, he held my hand numerous times, hugged me, and has been very close, but I had never been excited about it . Why is now my heart jumping?!
Well, can you free me?
In a barely squeezed voice, I managed to say it
Knowing my behavior so far, I know you cant believe it, so Ill do my best to prove it to you . Ill remove any doubts you may have . Ill do anything for you to believe me .
My husband said .
Even if its an information leak?
Its a little mean, but its the truth .
Of course!
No, Confidentiality comes first!
He responded immediately without any hesitation, as I thought . He laughed at my answer .
Well, thats about it .
Im glad you corrected the misunderstanding .
Im glad she believed you, leader!
Saying this, the vice-master Yuri , appeared dressed as a butler from next door . Did you stay in the next room all the time? The Knights come out from behind . They were listening to this story from behind the door, and looking at him with a big smile!
You guys were listening
My husband looked angrily at Yuri .
What? What do you mean? We heard, is the correct word to use instead of listening to it .
Yuri was looking sideways while uttering such lies .
Well, I dont mind if you heard or not .
My husband returned a cool face to them . If youre not embarra.s.sed, I am! Please be ashamed a little!
My husband and me were sent off with the warm smiles of the Knights .
Im sorry for coming here so late to bother you on your important mission .
No, its an honor to receive a visit from the leaders wife .
Would you like to return in a carriage wife? Or again in a horse
Please in a carriage!
I answered before my husband finished saying it . The horse, ended up being a trauma . It was probably because of the express trip, but I didnt know a vehicle could shake so hard . Surely horseback riding is not my thing~
The carriage we used is the one Lotus brought here when he followed us . If its Lotus, he can take everything into account and not miss even a tiny detail, hes a five-star butler! I dont hesitate to get on it .
A mild swaying wagon!
We got home in the shade of the night .
It was quite late at night, and I was tired from the intense and unfamiliar riding from the dukes house to the village in the outskirts, so I couldnt resist the swaying of a comfortable carriage, and eventually ended up falling asleep . As I felt asleep in response to the shaking of the carriage, I suddenly b.u.mped my head against the wall .
~~~ !!
I cry because of the pain and sleepiness,
Are you okay? Its dangerous to fall asleep in a carriage .
My husband, who had been sitting in the front seat, quickly moved to my side and gently guided my head to his shoulder .
Usually, I would be embarra.s.sed, but now sleepiness is winning .
Thank you
Sleep comes first .
I fell asleep immediately because of the warmth of my husbands shoulder and the sweet moving of the carriage,
What should I do with that merchant?
His words, reached my ears but I was so asleep that I couldnt answer .
And at the same time, of course, there was no reason for me to know that Lotus still in the village, was just thinking the same thing as my husband .
