Chapter 61

Although I returned to my room, I cant recover from what happened in the kitchen . It left me completely exhausted .

I got to the bed, dragging my feet in the floor, trying not to think anything and fill myself with energy from the beds comfort .

Lets calm down for the time being . I mean, I dont care, I just worry about being kicked out and not seeing any more my friends .

Im being healed by the fluffy bed,

Lets not worry . Lotus is investigating this with urgency .

I feel like I want to be alone for now . I have a lot of things to think about .

But when Im in the mansion, I cant calm down because there are servants eyes all over the place, looking with care at me . Its warm to be so loved, but I dont want to worry them when I feel down . I want to run away

Dont I have a private place for me to be alone?!

I remembered the existence of that place .

Yes, the separate building!

I dont know when it changed, but for the time being, the renewed annex, which is nicely refurbished to my liking, feels like its my private place . Even though its said to be used by my husband as well . Its a nice feeling . Its perfect for me who cant go home and want to be alone . There are also beds that are just as comfortable as this one, and if I get tired of thinking, there are books I like to distract myself with! Lets go to the annex!

I got up and went there .

Im going to the annex for a moment . Please let me be alone for a while .

I told Dahlia, who was by my side . Dahlia didnt hold me back, just lowered her eyes,

Its a cool place . Ill prepare you sweets and tea there .

She quickly accepted .

For the time being, I changed into a simple one piece dress and went to the separate building with Dahlia . She promised to let me be by myself but be on standby if I called her .

The annex was kept clean with no dust, so that it could be used anytime . Such marvelous place! I applauded the employees work .

It was a little early for tea as the merchant came to the mansion and dropped the bomb right after lunch . Im usually walking around the house at this time or weeding in the garden, but I dont have that kind of energy today . Well, there are some days, when we feel tired or dejected, so its okay to rest and relax .

Dahlia was still worried about me, but nevertheless, she did as promise .

Sometimes its ok to go slowly . If youd like, I can bring you supper here too .

Good idea!

I was left alone for the first time in a long time . After coming to the Dukes House, there was always someone nearby, not just Dahlia and Mimosa . I feel relieved to be here alone now .

I sink into the couch and take a break .

As I said earlier, its still a bit early for tea time, but I think that I should relax, so I will ask Dahlia to prepare something to drink .

After a while, she came with several types of herbal tea, and even a specialty of herbal tea to relax for bonus . I was able to feel that everything was carefully prepared according to my taste . I felt something like my mothers love after a long time . Ah, but my mother isnt so smart . At best, she will help you sleep! Nothing so elaborated . Its probably this, what made me laugh the most after so long .

My favorite was chamomile herbal tea .

Lets think about the future while drinking this gentle scented tea slowly . And!!! Lets sleep!! All problems are cured if you sleep! (Also mothers teachings)

Is he buying a small villa for a young mistress? But my husbands preference was older women . Did he expand the loving range?

If this rumor is real, my husband is a really bad guy . If its real, it means that every day he has been going back to the mansion from the workplace, he has gone first to have a secret meeting with the mistress .

? Where does he get the time for secret meetings?? Is he so free?

After breaking up with his first lover, he came straight home almost every day (even in terms of time, it matches with his work end time), and even if he has taken a few vacations, he spent it at the house or went shopping with me . The night of the party he was also here with me .

The more I think about it, the less it seems real .

Oh, and here I am . I had run away because I thought my husband was cheating . Ohohohoho

Its a bit like a bad idea? But it sounds good and cool!!

For the time being, if Im suddenly told to get out of the house, I will come out with the things I currently have on me! I almost have no personal belongings, so its easy to move fast .

It seems that Ill have to wait for Lotus report, so lets take a nap here for the time being . Lets sleep and wait .

I tidy up the tea set and dive into the bed .

It was the first time for me to sleep on the annex bed, but it was just like my rooms bed . I was sleeping as soon as I touched the fluffy bed . But how long had pa.s.sed, isnt everything suddenly shaking? And its a pretty big shake .

Fee ~? Earthquake ~? The house looks fine, but what if it collapses?

I get up suddenly and run out, but while running, I had covered my head with my hands as we usually do for protection of falling things .

Its not an earthquake . Viola! Look!

Someone elses voice came into my hears . Even though it was only me in the annex . And it was a mans voice .

A man? ! No, this voice is from my husband! !

As I looked up, his face was clear .

Fuwa! My husband!

Some time ago, there was a similar situation, where his beautiful face appeared at a very close distance from mine .

I dont like it, it makes my heart waver, so I would like for him to stop it But! I was surprised because of the recent rumor . Should he be with his mistress?

My husband called me without worrying about such things?

Does he want me to leave the house?

I heard the story from Lotus . Let me know your decision .

I can see his usual smile, and there is no atmosphere that makes me say No, it isnt that . .

I think, I should ask what does he want for now .

Huh? Then, from now on? Where will you reside?

I asked .

It seemed that I had slept for a long time, and the surroundings were already dark .

Youre suspicious of me!!

Suspicious? Ah well what is there to not be suspicious?

Is that so?

My husband felt awkward and violently voiced,

Im not going to take you in a carriage at this hour, itll take time, so Ill skip it . You hold me tight .

He hugged me and started to run out .

The place where I arrived was, the entrance of the main building, and there was a beautiful black horse in front of it .

Out of my husbands arms, I was placed on the horse, and he sat behind me and took the reins .

This is not my first horse ride . But this speed will become an absolute trauma! I am slightly upset by the intensity of the riding .

Even if Im hugged by my husband, my legs are stiff and I wont be able to walk! That was too much!

When we went down of the horse, and he saw me swaying, he went back to holding me princess style again .

Its okay because I cant stand anyway . I overlooked the area, but I cant see at all because its so dark . We have come a long way from the mansion . There is a small house in front of where we are standing, and the light spilling from the window shows that the house is old and a little in ruins .

Is this the edge of the capital that the merchant said?

Ah ~? Is this the place of the rumor?

I ask my husband,

Yes . From now on, this is going to be our very important secret place .

His answer lightened a bigger doubt on me . Moreover, he still has the guts to present a serious face . A pretty important secret place

Very meaningful

Is it good to bring me to such an important place?

Thats because its you . You wont reveal secrets to others lightly?

Huh well thats true .

My husband showed his usual sparkly smile here . The chilly atmosphere was softened .

Well, are we going inside?

Having said that, my husband showed a little excitement, and then proceeded to the small house in front of us .

Suddenly I will have to face the mistress!? In the first place, my husband hadnt explained anything yet, Im not prepared!!

When I entered the house, there was a small living room . And there were already six or seven people there . I was surprised because it didnt look like there were people from outside .

There were men who dressed like servants and women who looked like priestess .

And a beautiful young woman in a luxurious dress was sitting on the couch .

I can feel their gazes all at once .

On the other hand, I am still held in the arms of my husband . I dont know why, but I feel very warm inside .

But this is a confirmed allegation, right?! In this situation, my heart must not waver!! My husband is a cheating guy!!

No matter how you look, the woman is a n.o.ble daughter from some well-known house .

This means the end of my role!
