Chapter 30

Chapter 30. When first meeting Lus, if hearing such a story, I would have naturally thought I have to distance.

Because my safety was much more important.[Master?]

Now it wasn't.

Clearly distancing from Lus is what I resolved before first meeting Lus.

But I couldn't do such a thing to the young child who honestly hugs me.

“It's okay, Blackie.”

I said as if resolving to myself.

Until the original ends, not a single line about the male lead's identity came out.

Then it probably isn't a greatly important problem either.

If there's some problem, the original female lead met later will handle it.

Originally romance novels everything is resolved with love.

And above all.

“Nothing has happened yet.”‘Your mom told you not to play with that kid! What if you get bad influence playing with a parentless kid!’ Even though I haven't done anything yet, prejudice stuck to me tiresomely.

I didn't want to become a person who judges other people like that.

“So for now I'll be together.”[What if regretting belatedly then?]

Blackie asked back.[Your husband might not be as good a person as you think. Is it okay even if regretting later?]

“But nothing might happen either.”[...]

“Lus might really be a bad person as Blackie you say. At that time I might think it was good to listen to your words. But if I avoid Lus here, one thing becomes clear.”

I also knew well that Blackie is really worrying about me.

Perhaps this is just my stubbornness.

“From that day on I will regret all the way.”* * *Blackie saw the illusion spread in front of his eyes.

An endless plain with nothing living.

The smell of blood carried on the wind.

It was after the war passed.

The woman in front of him preciously hugged something tightly wrapped with cloth.

Seeing something hugged in the woman's arms wriggling and moving, it seemed a living creature.

Because covered with cloth, what it is wasn't visible well.[I'm opposed. Have to kill immediately.]

At his words, the woman in front said.

“But hasn't committed any wrong yet.”[Just because hasn't committed any act, the original sin born carrying doesn't disappear.]

“You looking, are too cold.”

The woman in front laughed brightly.

But not long after, coughed and vomited a handful of blood.[Is it the time to laugh now? You will die soon, and that will become the knife stabbing you.]

“I know. I know...”

She carefully stroked something hugged in her arms with her finger and said.

“It's this lovely. But how can I kill?”

And Blackie returned again not to the plain but inside the inn.‘What?’ He looked around as if wary.

What did he just see?‘A memory of the past?’ But a thousand years ago, before being sealed, among the contractors contracted there was no such person...‘No. Wait a minute. Did I have a contractor?’ Clearly he also must have had about one contractor.

But no one was remembered.

As if someone completely cut out only that part.

He then recalled the question he should have had first.‘Why was I sealed in Valfruga Castle?’* * *Hearing Blackie's words, I often checked Lus's shadow, but nothing strange was visible.

Occasionally reading fairy tale books with Lus, and napping, peaceful time flowed.

In the midst of that, the carriage arrived at the Roslun Count castle.

Thanks to sending a letter in advance, the Roslun Countess was out to greet us.

I got off the carriage and greeted with etiquette.

“Thank you for inviting...”

Before my words even finished, the Countess ignored me and looked back at Lus.

“Nice to meet for the first time, Duke Valfruga. I heard the business is going well these days? I'm also a bit interested.”...

Huh?

I couldn't even hide the flustered expression from being absurd, and looked back at her.

Lus looked at me with a hardened expression from when she ignored me.

I spoke to her again.

“The hair loss medicine business is one I preside over so it will be more convenient talking with me than the Duke.”

Then the Countess glanced at me with an uncomfortable expression as if seeing a bug, and completely turned her head.

It was an attitude determined to ignore me.

Wow...

As expected Treon buying the carriage was also that the carriage was needed, but also because without even a carriage might be ignored more.

It doesn't seem to have worked at all though.

“Duke. You must be tired from the long road so let's go in now.”

“My wife is also together though.”

Lus tightly held my hand and said.

The low voice felt trying hard to suppress anger.

The Countess looked at me with a face full of irritation.

Probably she decided to handle me first.

She looked down at me, and fluttered the fan.

“Oh my. You were also there? So... the name was Felia Poldbish?”

“That's the name before marriage, now it's Felia Valfruga.”

“That's also an unknown matter. Marriages done before becoming an adult many break, they say.”

The Countess drove in the wedge smiling with her eyes as if she has no intention of changing her mind.

“Isn't that so, Miss Poldbish?”

Investigating even the surname before marriage to make me troubled, that's also quite enthusiastic.

So right now because I'm not from a royal family, but a commoner who rolled around in the orphanage and came, doing this?

Lus is treated as the Duke Valfruga of noble blood mixed with imperial blood if going up the generations.

Even if a commoner before marriage, as long as married to Lus I am the Duchess.

If just ignoring me I would endure, but the point that she can act like this because ignoring Valfruga made me angry.

If Valfruga held mighty power like the other four great ducal houses, would she have been able to act in this way?

“Felia is strictly the Duchess. Please show respect, Countess.”

“Sorry but Duke. The Roslun Count house has the Roslun Count house's own laws.”

She snapped.

When Lus tried to add words again, I tightly grabbed Lus's shoulder and calmed.

It wasn't a matter to fight here.

For now we had to enter inside the castle.

That way we can obtain information about Logan.

Entering inside the castle was more of a spectacle.

Unlike Lus's room prepared normally, my room wasn't even properly prepared.

“What are you saying! The room isn't prepared! We also received a formal invitation!”

The maid Bella who followed me held the maid who guided us here and questioned.

“The one who received the invitation is only the D-Duke... the Duchess...”

“When answering the invitation I clearly said the Duchess is also coming!”

“I-I don't know...”

“Then where are you saying Madam sleeps right now!”

“Th-that...”

The maid looked around us once and said.

“If sleeping together with the maids brought...”

“Do you think that's words that make sense now? Making the mistress served sleep together with us maids?”

“S-sorry!”

The maid was completely pressed by Bella's momentum.

Holding the maid and questioning, nothing would improve.

From the beginning the one who instructed this matter is the Countess.

Right, since a family that discriminates commoners to this extent, they even confined at the words of the youngest brother marrying a maid.

“It's fine, Bella. It's work the master instructed so what's the use catching the servant. Go now.”

At my words, the maid bowed her head and quickly ran away avoiding Bella.

“But Madam...!”

“Older sister, then sleep in my room. I'll sleep with the knights.”

Lus tightly held my hand and said.

“Are you thinking of me?”

Lus nodded.

Ayu, whose house's puppy is this admirable.

“It's fine. Anyway not staying here long so what. One night is okay.”

Separately from that, I'll definitely remember this house.

“Still my heart is uncomfortable. Older sister, sleep in my room. Yeah?”

“If you sleep with the knights, my heart is also uncomfortable, Lus.”

“Then sleeping together is fine. Yeah?”

“Yes?”

“Sleep together with me, older sister.”

“That's right, Madam! Today for now sleep together with the Duke!”

Huh, why is the story turning like that?

“Then sleeping together, older sister?”

“R-right.”

I ended up accepting in a daze.

It seems quite a while since not sleeping together with Lus these days...

“But older sister, do we have to sleep here? Can't we just go elsewhere?”

“That's right, Madam! Just sleep at an inn! From the beginning there's no reason to have to be here! The castle is also worse than our castle. Even that door seems made by a sculptor never heard of!”

I tried hard to calm Bella who was huffing.

“I also want to do that, but there's something I have to find in this house so for the time being I have to stay here. So Lus, you also don't get angry thinking of older sister and just moderately um...”

Match the mood?

This doesn't seem words to use on a child.

“Um... Can you stay quietly?”

“Still I dislike. How can I stay quietly when treating older sister meanly?”

Lus said stubbornly.

“Sometimes getting angry in front isn't the only correct answer, Lus.”

“Then?”

“There's also the method of enduring now to achieve the purpose, and repaying later. Among old sayings there's a saying that revenge is not late even after ten years.”

When smiling playfully, Lus nodded with a face of realizing something.

“So older sister's words mean reassure and later hit the back of the head is okay?”

“Umm, something like that.”

Something seems a bit strange, but it passed well, right?

What if it's a bust even after doing to this extent?

Then it seems I really want to explode a bomb in this house.
