BXBX NOVEL Chapter 63
My husband started the explanation...
I was released from the princess’s 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 don’t have to worry so much .
“I’m based here now because of my duties . Even though it’s in the royal city, it’s in the outskirts of the city, so we don’t attract attention . We pretend to be some road musician merchants who bought a villa . Only the residents around here know that I’m the “Duke of Rosia”... and that’s because it’s a village and they will inquire about the identities of any new people until the end . The only problem that came until now was that merchant... who’s gaving me extra effort to fulfill this mission . ”
This is a very delicate story because it’s related to his job, but my husband told me only information that would not present any problem for me .
“That’s why we’re putting this much effort into the clothes and outfit, etc...”
I can’t get ahold of myself . Being honest, I’m stuck with words and staring at my husband...
“I’m sorry I’ve been worried about being a boring husband for you, and that’s why I let this mystery be . Oh, yes . The” lover “and our subordinate was the same person, and... if my story alone can’t be believed... . there’s 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 husband’s voice, an answer “Yes” came back . And someone opened the door without making any sound, isn’t Lotus a superb butler? I’m 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 don’t know who moved the threads for such detailed information to come to be, but it was a fulfilling content that I couldn’t 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 husband’s work .
“That’s 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! It’s good that you cleared any doubts...! I can’t concentrate on my work knowing that you’re suspicious of me!”
“My opinion is irrelevant... was it good to talk to me about something so important?”
A smile slowly emerged on my husband’s 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, I’m terrified at the seriousness of things .
Are you leaking work information to me, a citizen? Isn’t this dangerous? If I’m 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 .
“I’ve been here so far in the shades of this kingdom, and I’m going again into the darkness to work . No one ever knows where I’m and won’t know too . ”
Are you implying that you don’t care if I know or not about this?
“I agree”
Let’s better rest and forget this . I’m not very convinced, but let’s leave it at that .
“In any case, you can talk to your family about this to some extent . In the current situation, I’m working in a remote area of the capital city . If they ask . ”
I see...
You are buttering 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 doesn’t represent any risk for you?”
“That’s right . ”
“Then you shouldn’t have told me . We don’t affect you in anyway, it’s better to ignore me . ”
“What are you talking about? Rather, it was important because Viola, you’re my wife . ”
“–“
I felt like he was vomiting sweet words .
“... Isn’t your words just for decoration?”
When I saw my husband’s 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 . It’s 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 husband’s 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 can’t believe it, so I’ll do my best to prove it to you . I’ll remove any doubts you may have . I’ll do anything for you to believe me . ”
My husband said .
“Even if it’s an information leak?”
It’s a little mean, but it’s the truth .
“Of course!”
“No, Confidentiality comes first!”
He responded immediately without any hesitation, as I thought . He laughed at my answer .
“Well, that’s about it . ”
I’m glad you corrected the misunderstanding .
“I’m 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 don’t mind if you heard or not . ”
My husband returned a cool face to them . If you’re not embarrassed, I am! Please be ashamed a little!
My husband and me were sent off with the warm smiles of the Knights .
“I’m sorry for coming here so late to bother you on your important mission . ”
“No, it’s an honor to receive a visit from the leader’s 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 didn’t 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 it’s Lotus, he can take everything into account and not miss even a tiny detail, he’s a five-star butler! I don’t 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 duke’s house to the village in the outskirts, so I couldn’t 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 bumped my head against the wall .
“~~~ !!”
I cry because of the pain and sleepiness,
“Are you okay? It’s 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 embarrassed, but now sleepiness is winning .
“Thank you”
Sleep comes first .
I fell asleep immediately because of the warmth of my husband’s 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 couldn’t 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 .
