Episode 11 : What Kind Of Person is Him?
Cindy, who was quick to notice, grabbed her arm and led her to her right.
“The lord told me not to worry about today and to sleep well!”
Don’t to worry?
As Belladonna looked at her with a puzzled look on her face, she opened her mouth again.
“Mr. Wolff said, the lord recently left the estate empty for a long time due to a wedding or something, so there is a lot of backlogged work. Yesterday was the first day of the night, so he forced himself to take time off, but he said he would have to work until late at night for the time being.”
I see…..
Belladonna nodded and walked to her own room.
Although it seemed fortunate, I felt sorry for him.
“Our lord used to work until late at night. Even so, he was not tired, so he would wake up first and exercise early in the morning before anyone else in this castle.”
Cindy continued, her voice overflowing with pride.
“We all say in unison that it is thanks to the lord that Gravelita has been able to prosper to this extent! He is the lord who pioneered new ports, accepted ships, and allowed free trade among merchants!”
Escalion……?
It looks like you have been zealous all this while complaining about the fact that King gave you the most barren land.
Belladonna entered her room, feeling her new mood.
Cindy peeled the fur off her shoulders and opened the bathroom door, which was filled with hot steam.
“He had been concentrating on his work without any women, so we had a lot of trouble deciding who to hire as the hostess. But we are so happy that you brought such a beautiful lady here!”
“…….”
Suddenly, she felt like her heart was sinking.
Bella also walked into the bathroom, snorting at her in my mind.
Don’t you have any woman?
okay. There may not be just one woman, but three or four…..
‘……Could this be a line that Escalion ordered?’
With a grunt, Belladonna took off her dress and put her toes into her bath filled with hot water.
Oh my, it’s warm…….
It felt like all my fatigue was melting away.
“Ma’am, then you should relax inside! I think you might be thirsty, so I’ll bring you some cold tea. Please wait a minute!”
Cindy smiled brightly and ran outside her door.
Even though Bella was left alone, she stretched out her legs far away and kicked her as if to vent her anger.
‘A pure libertine…….’
After watching the sea with him, leaning on him, and returning to the castle, I felt like I was floating, but in an instant, I felt like I was falling headlong into the mud.
‘That’s all, that rascal’s skill! A skill that steals women’s hearts!’
Belladonna pouted her lower lip and crossed her arms.
She glared at the exotic patterned tile across from her and recalled what happened a moment ago.
<You even know how to laugh like that.>
<……I don’t feel bad.>
<To our castle….Should i go back?>
Huh, really mine!
Did you think I would let go so easily?
I wonder how many women have been twisted like that!
“You can’t get over it because you’re at my level…….”
Belladonna muttered very softly.
I almost let my guard down!
She frowned and lifted her head, resting the back of her head against the edge of her bathtub.
“ha…….”
He said he would be a lot busier in the future, so it was a good thing.
I hope we don’t run into each other for a while……
Bella also closed her eyes and let out small breaths.
I felt uneasy for some reason, but I shook my head and pushed it away.
‘I hope three months pass by quickly…….’
She looked at her ceiling and blinked her eyes.

“Madam, the most famous jeweler and tailor in Griblata has visited the castle.”
A few days later, Cindy entered Belladonna’s room and said with a bright smile.
Belladonna nodded her head at her and went down the main staircase into the drawing room.
“Hello, Duchess of Diete!”
“Hello, Duchess!”
“hello!”
As I entered the drawing-room, I saw plump, short jeweler and the rather tall tailor, standing side by side to greet her.
Bella nodded her head at them with a perfect smile.
“Haa….”
Those who saw the saint’s smile looked ecstatic for a moment, then quickly came to their senses and began to open the bags they had brought with them.
“now! We’ll show you right away without any delay! I have selected some of the trendiest jewels from Griblata.”
“Us too! This is a lined dress popular in the capital, and this is a cape accented with lace specially ordered from a foreign country.”
Uh……
Belladonna looked down at all the sparkling things that suddenly unfolded before her eyes.
In her previous life, and even when she was a saint, she had never personally chosen the things she wore.
‘I just used to wear what the Pope had chosen for me, or what my maids had given me…’
“What kind of taste do you have?”
I don’t have a preference….
As Belladonna turned to show her embarrassed face, Cindy, who had been standing behind her, quickly stepped forward and opened her mouth.
“Hey, it’s just a taste! Wouldn’t you know it just by looking at the lady?”
“What……?”
“It’s obvious that she will look dazzlingly beautiful no matter what ahe wear! I brought you here specially because you are said to be the most famous in Griblata, but don’t you really understand that?”
“Ahh…….”
“I see, that’s right!”
The jeweler and the tailor were confused and fiddling with the things they had brought with them.
“The highest level. Please prepare the most beautiful thing for her.”
Oh no!
Belladonna, who was quietly listening next to her, quickly grabbed Cindy’s wrist.
Where is the money for that!
Besides, I….i am leaving in three months! I can’t let you waste your money on something like that!
Anything suitable is enough!
“Ah yes? ah…….All right.”
Did you understand it properly?
Belladonna looked at Cindy suspiciously.
Turning her head again to her jeweler and tailor couple, Cindy opened her mouth with a serious look on her face.
“No matter how much it costs, we want it done as quickly as possible.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“I’ll try my best to match it! Just leave it to me!”
No!
Belladonna shook her head and held her wrist tightly.
At that time, the jeweler, who was leafing through her sketchbook, stopped his hand on a certain page.
He said, turning the sketchbook he was holding to show it to Belladonna and Cindy.
“How about making earrings this time with this top-quality ruby the lord bought last time?”
last time?
Belladonna, who had been shaking Cindy’s wrist, stopped her actions.
If it was last time…..
“What? What the hell are you saying!”
Cindy screamed and stood up from her seat. Then she snatched up the jeweler’s sketchbook and quickly closed it.
She screamed with her face turning pale.
“When are you saying that my lord purchased such a ruby? Aren’t you confused with someone else?”
The jeweler, who finally came to his senses, blinked his wide eyes repeatedly as he noticed Belladonna.
“Oh, my…..yes I made a mistake. It’s not my lord, it’s me, there…..I misunderstood that I bought it from a foreign merchant and threw it away…….”
“really……! If it continues like this, we will no longer be able to do business with you!”
“Oh, sorry! As i get older, my memory declines…….”
The jeweler repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fists on his knees with a perplexed look on his face.
You must have been very embarrassed…..
Belladonna looked up at Cindy, who was still standing in her place with a sad look on her face.
‘Cindy really can’t lie…….’
Belladonna let out a small sigh and held out her hand, pointing to the pen the tailor’s wife was holding.
“yes? h, here…….”
When the tailor randomly held out the pen, she took it with a smile and began to write on the sketchbook the jeweler had left down.
[There is no need for luxuries. Let me just pick out a few useful things that can help me get through this winter.]
“yes? but……”
[We will give you enough time, so don’t overdo it.]
“lady…….”
Sitting down, Cindy muttered as if she was upset.
Belladonna gave her special bright smile to the jeweler and tailor couple sitting across from them.
“Ah, saint…….”
“If the saint wishes to do so, I am willing…..”
The jeweler and the tailor made faces as if they had been deeply blessed by her, then turned to face her and nodded slowly.
“It is truly beautiful that you think of us.”
“As expected, the saint is different…….”
What’s different…..
Bella nodded again, noticing the smile on their faces.
* * *
“Lady….”
Cindy looked at her and opened her mouth.
Belladonna looked at her with a smile as if nothing was wrong.
They were out in the garden in front of the castle to personally see off the jeweler and the tailor.
“Ca, can you never pay attention to what the jeweler said a moment ago?”
Cindy, wouldn’t it bother me even more if you did this……?
Belladonna nodded at her with a tired look on her face.
“Our lord is not that kind of person…”
What kind of person is him?
At this point, I really started to wonder who the woman Escalion had brought to the castle with as a gift of expensive jewels was.
Belladonna, who was watching the departing carriage, turned and glanced at the second floor window
.
‘Now that I think about it, is it true that this man is in the castle right now? Could it be that he still went to see that woman…….’
Belladonna stood still and she looked up at the second floor window, then she slowly turned her body.
‘……It’s none of my business.’
After three months, i would have to leave Griblata anyway.
And by then, the whole world will know what kind of woman he is hiding.
however….
‘……Why do I feel so bad?’
“Ma’am, are you okay? Are you uncomfortable in any way?”
Cindy, who was standing next to her, looked up at her with worried eyes.
Belladonna smiled out of habit and shook her head.
“…….”
no! No!
It’s true that i feel bad! You marry me, but leave the person you truly love separate?
What are you doing to dishonor both women?
Where on earth did you sell the spirit of chivalry?
“lady……? Wait a minute, I think you’re suddenly running a fever..….”
Cindy said, reaching her hand towards Bella’s forehead.
Her hands felt very cold and cool, and it seemed like they were really hot.
Yes, that’s right!
I’m so angry that I’m on fire, I’m on fire!
Belladonna took a breath, calming her seething insides.
however……
‘Why am I so dizzy?’
“lady! Are you okay? your whole body feels hot!”
Cindy, looking embarrassed, screamed.
Even though I was standing very close, her voice felt distant, as if it was ringing in my ears.
Bella’s eyes blinked slowly, and then her legs gave out and she fell down.
“Aaaah! lady! P, please help me here!”
Cindy was seen holding on to her arms and looking around her, screaming.
But even that felt like it was getting further and further away and soon disappeared into darkness.
