Can Someone Please Explain This Situation - Chapter 63

Ch 63 – Explanation and confession

“Yeah. First of all, this is the edge of the royal city, as you mentioned. But I’m not going to tell you in detail what is the objective of this operation, because of the risk. It’s for you.”

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.
