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 .
