Don't Get Caught by Your Husband!

“Ma’am, are you awake?”

As expected, Cindy came in cautiously and asked. Belladonna lifted her body up, lifting her face away from her pillow.

“You’re awake! I was worried because you woke up late today.”

Cindy asked with an expectant look in her eyes, saying she was worried. maybe…

‘I guess it’s to see if I share rings with Escalion.’

Since the Lord and his wife will soon be living apart for several months, it would be more stable and better for the servants to share the rings as soon as possible.

But no, Cindy…

Belladonna came down from the bed feeling embarrassed and sorry.

“Mr. Wolff said that the carriage that will take you to the townhouse will arrive soon. Then we can leave tomorrow morning as planned.”

Wolff’s work is really fast.

Bella nodded, admiring me once again.

“I’ll prepare a warm bath for you. It would be better to warm up your body first before eating, right?”

Exactly that’s what I wanted! Cindy is the best!

Bella nodded her head with a soft smile.

She washed herself with warm water, and when she came down the central stairs, she saw the workers bustling about. They piled up a lot of cloth, food, wood, etc. and loaded them onto a wagon outside.

“They say they haven’t used Sirlenia’s townhouse properly, so they don’t have basic things. they will have to go and do some more maintenance first, but…They said they would take everything they could with them, right?”

Cindy, who came down next to me, helped explain.

Wolff, with sharp eyes, was standing in the lobby on the first floor, standing on the street corner and looking at each item brought in by the employees.

“I told you that Sirlenia isn’t that cold. I don’t think there’s any need for such thick fabric.”

“Oh yeah?”

“And I think it would be a good idea to leave out that food ingredient as well. Because it can easily get damaged in hot places.”

“All right.”

Perhaps because most of the workers were born and raised in Griblata, they didn’t seem to be well-versed in Sirlenia’s situation.

“It was very difficult for the maids to decide who would follow the madam to Sirlenia and who would remain in Griblata with the lord.”

why? When she looked back at Cindy with a look in her eyes, she let out a sigh as her shoulders slumped.

“Because everyone wanted to go to Sirlenia…The cold in Griblata is harsh even for us.”

In response to her response, Belladonna turned her head and looked at the employees on the first floor.

She felt uneasy because she felt like she was somehow running away to a warm and nice place.

“It would be great if my lord go too…Then most of us can follow along!”

“…….”

“Lady……How about you try talking to him? huh?”

Cindy asked with a look of subtle anticipation in her eyes. Belladonna looked down and avoided her gaze.

Wolff, who had been giving orders to the workers, turned around to see what was happening.

“Ah, madam! Are you here?”

Belladonna smiled her friendly smile at Wolff. Wolf pointed to the luggage and explained briefly.

“For now, I just looked into it briefly jt is so simple…If I need anything, I plan to go and buy it myself or bring in another carriage.”

Simple……? Is this simple?

Belladonna was once again surprised by Wolff’s definition of ‘Simple’ and looked at the enormous amount of luggage that was being loaded. Cindy asked, widening her eyes as if she was also surprised.

“How much of something is missing in Sirlenia? Why do we need so much food and cloth?”

“Well, it’s up to you two, so there’s nothing you can do about it.”

“What? You two?”

huh? Two?

Belladonna and Cindy turn their heads at the same time. Wolff opened his eyes and answered with a wide smile.

“A little while ago, the lord said he would go with us. It looks like he isn’t comfortable sending his wife alone.”

“Aaaah! really? thr lord is going too?”

“Even so.”

When Wolff nodded his head with a happy smile, Cindy jumped up in her place and Bella also turned to her.

wait for a sec…….what?

“Lady! He say the lord is going too! and! Great! Then can we all follow along?”

“If both go down to the townhouse…We are planning to leave only the minimum number of people to manage Griblata’s castle and go down together. What do you think, ma’am?”

Wolff and Cindy’s eyes simultaneously focused on Belladonna.

So, Escalion decided to go down to Sirlenia’s townhouse together?

Why……why?

Doesn’t this mean there’s no point in going down south to avoid him? In fact, they look more attached!

“Lady……?”

When there was no answer from her, Wolff tilted his head and asked again.

Belladonna belatedly came to her senses and nodded her head absentmindedly.

“And! Do the other maids know about this?”

“Okay, I just told Lucia, so I’m sure everyone is packing their bags by now. You should hurry up and pack your bags.”

“Yes! Hurray! Madam, please wait a moment!”

With a wide smile, Cindy disappeared across her lobby towards where her maids’ quarters were.

Belladonna looked at Cindy’s back as she ran excitedly, and then she turned her head towards Wolff again.

“Due to the sudden addition of people, the departure time is likely to be delayed. I’ll call you back, so would you like to rest in your room?”

Nod.

Belladonna nodded and turned around without delay and climbed the stairs to the second floor.

Instead of going back to her room, she had to find him.

She hated that irresponsible lord who changed his decision in the end……!

After going up to the second floor, Belladonna immediately turned to her left and walked towards his room.

Click!

Because she was in a panic, Belladonna pushed the door open without knocking and came in. She stopped her actions when she saw someone standing in the room.

uh……huh?

He must have just been about to change his clothes, his hands crossed and his top half off, Escalion staring at her.

“…….”

“…….”

Well, that…..

His dark skin and well-toned muscles contrasted with the smooth white clothes he was wearing, which caught her eye. She swallowed her dry saliva without realizing it.

As Escalion looked at her intruder, who stopped him by the handle of the door, he completely removed her top and threw it on her floor.

“Why are you in such a hurry, again?”

He walked past her and opened his closet door, peering inside to see her struggling face.

Belladonna still couldn’t move and only blinked her two wide-open eyes.

Well, first of all, I have to apologize……!

“It’s going to be a hot place, so it would definitely be better to wear thin clothes.”

He muttered as he lifted his thick arms and turned over the clothes hanging in his closet one by one.

Oh, you’re really coming down with me…

At the words that seemed like a confirmed kill, Belladonna let go of the doorknob she was holding.

Before she knew it, Escalion, who had changed into a tunic that looked like the thinnest piece of clothing he had, stepped closer to her. I guess he just got out of the shower, but a warm and cool scent hit me.

“What did you come for? It’s probably not because you wanted to see me.”

Instead of answering, Belladonna lowered her head and looked down at her clothes.

A mid-season dress that is neither too thick nor too thin.

No matter how hot the area was, it would be cold during the trip, so I couldn’t understand why he was wearing such thin clothes.

“When is the last time you rush in with such fearful momentum, are you once again showing such a passive attitude?”

Escalion said in a voice filled with laughter. He put one of her hands under Bella’s chin and lifted it up so she could look at him.

Belladonna extended her hand and pointed to his tunic.

This doesn’t work! Too cold!

“Hahaha, are you worried about me because my clothes are thin?”

Nod! No matter how hot the heat is, does it make sense to dress like this when there is so much snow outside?

Escalion said with a pleasant smile, seeing the worry and concern in her eyes.

“That face is cute, but I guess you haven’t gone down yet? I see you don’t know who is on the first floor.”

Who is here? When she asked with that expression, he answered affectionately, tucking her hair behind her ear.

“I called the wizard. I asked hom to create a portal that will take us to Sirlenia at once.”

‘Wizard……?’

“But he said it wasn’t possible to do it in one trip because the distance was quite far, and he said he would move us twice through the middle village. he said it would take less than half a day to get to Sirlenia.”

At Escalion’s explanation, Belladonna’s wide-open eyes lit up.

While she was traveling here from Astanya, she took several public portals operated by the Empire, but the rides were short and not an exciting or new experience. The scenery you see every time you exit the portal doesn’t change that much.

‘But is there a portal that takes you from Griblata to Sirlenia in just two trips?’

I thought that if that were the case, I could have an interesting experience where there was a clear difference between when I entered and when I came out.

‘……But a portal of that scale must have been quite expensive, right?’

A Pope who was extremely generous with his money for his only daughter, so it was a luxury i couldn’t receive when i got married and came here.

No matter how much money you have saved, will you be able to afford enough spending to be able to use a wizard just to take a short rest? I guess it would be better to just ride the carriage all the way…

As Belladonna’s expression filled with worry again, Escalion raised the corners of his mouth and spoke.

“Oh, I see you’re worried about Griblata’s household now? don’t worry. It’s so cold here that I’m not so bad as to give my wife a portal when she goes to the south.”

He added, bowing her head and placing a light kiss on Belladonna’s forehead.

“It’s because I want to go down quickly, even if it means spending a little more money. I feel like if I stay here any longer, my wife, who is already white from the cold, will become whiter.”

The place where his lips touched was itchy. Belladonna lifted her hand and rubbed her forehead.

She obviously came to ask what happened…

She couldn’t believe that, let alone arguing with him, she was clinging to him and having a friendly conversation.

Oh, what should I do? She got caught up again. As she muttered in her mind, he asked again.

“I heard there’s still a long way to go before departure?”

Nod.

“Then let’s go watch the newly hired wizard create a portal. he said it would start soon.”
