Yelena clearly heard the crowd of nobles who carried fans disparaging the lady and speculating her true identity.

This incident would definitely disgrace the lady.

And what played a part in it was that man who remained on the sidelines until it was too late.

What the hell was he doing?

Yelena knew one thing.

He caressed her shoulder as if she was extremely precious, but that man didnt really value his partner.

Its none of my business.

Anyway, the disturbance seemed to have ended, so there was no need to think about it anymore.

Yelena started to lead Kaywhin away and tried to get out of her spot.

It was then.

Huh?

The man, who happened to look in Yelenas direction, paused and then opened his mouth in surprise.

Yelena?

The mans voice was loud and clear.

Yelena, whose name was called, unknowingly gave the man a look.

However, the problem was that Yelena wasnt the only one who heard the name.

Yelena?

I think Ive heard of it somewhere

The recent rumors

While people were whispering, someone finally spat out a sentence.

The Duchess of Mayhard?

Oh, my God.

Then that person

The one next to her is

It didnt take long before the whispering turned into noisy chatter.

Yelenas expression hardened.

* * *

The man, who abruptly called Yelenas name and created a disturbance among the spectators and pretended to personally know Yelena, left a message that he would contact her later, and disappeared.

Yelena hastily dragged Kaywhin out of the crowd, but it was after everyone there had already recognized him.

Haa.

It was the worst.

Yelena was now empty-handed.

She had thrown away the food in the trash can since she lost her appetite.

Yelena, who trudged down the street, soon opened her mouth.

Lets go back, now.

Yelena had initially come out with a firm resolution to enjoy the festival until late tonight.

When she made that resolution, she also told Kaywhin.

Are you talking about now?

It was far from being late at night; it was now evening.

Yelena tried her hardest not to show her glum expression and said, Yes. Ive seen enough of the festival

Not at all. She hadnt seen enough.

Truthfully, how much she saw from the festival wasnt very important to Yelena.

What was meaningful to her was how much she and Kaywhin enjoyed it.

Frankly, it wasnt enough.

She wanted to walk around more and create more memories.

However, even if they stayed at the festival longer, it would add more bad memories instead of good ones.

There was no guarantee that they wouldnt run into a noble who recognized Kaywhin.

You rascal.

Yelena cursed the masked man with all her heart.

She ground her teeth.

She didnt know who it was, but when she saw him again, she would never let him go.

According to her current mood, she wanted to behead him and then parade him in the streets.

As Yelena brooded over her merciless thoughts, Kaywhin spoke.

If its because of what happened a while ago, Im fine.

Im not fine.

Yelena, who unknowingly lashed out, immediately shut her mouth.

There was no reason to be angry with Kaywhin. Absolutely none.

I dont have a good personality, do I? I put up with it earlier, but I wont be able to stay still if I meet someone who whispers about you again.

Yelena imagined it. She wouldnt be able to hold herself back.

If its a woman, Ill grab them by the hair, and if its a man, Ill kick them in the crotch.

Dejection often made a person honest.

Kaywhin made a sound of holding back his laughter at the unfiltered remarks.

Ahem.

Im not kidding.

I dont know about anything else, but I dont recommend the latter. My wifes feet are going to get dirty.

Yeah. I know it too. Thats why I dont want to get my feet dirty, so lets go home.

Half of it was sincere.

She didnt want to see Kaywhin become a topic of discussion in front of her eyes, and she didnt want to let Kaywhin see her make a fuss about it because she couldnt stand it.

The strength fell from her shoulders. Kaywhin looked at her drooping small shoulders and opened his mouth.

Wife, why
