Don't Get Caught by Your Husband!

Belladonna was dumbfounded and looked up at him with her mouth open. Um, that shameless bastard…!

Not only my lips but also my cheeks felt hot when he touched them.

“My lord! lady! Im here. Can I open the door?”

Just then, Wolff heard shouting from outside.

Escalion shrugged her shoulders and turned towards Bella, who was still glaring at him. Opening the door of the carriage without hesitation, he hopped down below her and held out his hand for her.

“Welcome to my villa, Bella.”

“and! Look at this tree, madam! Why is the end so wide?”

Cindy shouted as she sprinted to the front.

“There are also fruits, right? It’s huge!”

For Cindy, who was born in Griblata and had never left the area, the South was a strange and new place. Belladonna looked at Cindy with her happy eyes running around her garden like her foal.

‘It’s definitely warm…….’

Sirlenia was a city located lower than Astanya, where she lived. In a climate that felt much milder to her than Astanya, Belladonna felt as if her whole body was softening.

Warm sunlight, feels good!

“Anyway, as soon as he arrived, he locked himself in the study again. Isn’t it possible that the lord followed too much?”

“…….”

“Thanks to that, we all came down together like this…..I feel a little sorry.”

What are you sorry for? The problem is that he followed me! Belladonna walked along with her snoring in her mind.

Even though she thought so, she also felt sorry for Escalion, who had difficulty finding time to take a leisurely walk with his wife.

Don’t you want to have some free time after dinner? The road here is pretty, so it might be nice to spend some time together…

“uh? is this the wizard? I guess he’s going back now!”

Then, Cindy pointed ahead and said.

When I turned my head at the sound of a wizard, I saw Fabion wearing a navy blue robe leaving with a small baggage the size of my face.

His face was hidden by a deep hood, but he had a long white beard hanging underneath it, so it wasn’t hard to tell that it was him.

“I saw earlier that the lord seemed dissatisfied with how he was handling his affairs…It was a shame to receive a request to create a portal that works.”

Cindy clicked her tongue and muttered.

Belladonna checked him and swallowed dry saliva without realizing it. The unknown tension from before was once again overtaking her entire body.

<This is a bit strange…Are you really the saint?>

The thin voice he spoke with confidence rang in my ears. How on earth do you know…

“lady! Are you okay?”

At that time, Bella, who was making her impression without realizing it, also had a shadow cast before my eyes. When she turned her gaze, she saw Cindy, who had come out with her, raising her palms to the sky, creating a canopy for her.

“It’s dazzling, isn’t it? please wait for a moment. I’ll bring the hat right away!”

huh? Oh, no, I wasn’t dazzled, I was lost in thought!

But without any time to stop her, Cindy quickly turned and ran towards the building. She’s really quick too.

“…….”

Belladonna, who had suddenly distanced herself from Fabion and was left alone, turned her direction awkwardly. I don’t know why, but I felt uncomfortable being with that unknown old wizard.

“Could you please give me a moment, ma’am?”

At that time, the thin voice of an old wizard very close by reached her ears. Surprised, she turned her head and saw Fabion, who had come close to her, looking at her.

It’s a surprise!! Uh, how did we get here?

Bella, who was looking at him with her eyes wide open, and Fabion, who was staring at me, opened his mouth again.

“I think it will be helpful to you, Madam.”

Ha, but…! She quickly looked around her, but there was no one by her side.

“If you say you don’t want to, I won’t force you. But i knows it’s more frustrating than anyone else, so i am doing it because i wants to help.”

Help?

“I already know that the person currently residing within it is not Saint Belladonna.”

“……!”

Belladonna frowned without even having time to control her expression.

I really know that I am not a real saint……! So what should I do in front of interest? Belladonna slowly began to walk backwards, much to her confusion and slight fear.

So, Fabion realized right away that I was not the real Saint Belladonna.

Fabion, who saw her like that, was even more surprised and threw up her hands.

“Ah! Sorry for surprising you. But I have no intention of revealing the secret or using it as an excuse to threaten the lady, so you don’t have to be too afraid.”

As Belladonna still looked at him with wary eyes, Fabion rummaged through his small luggage with impatient hands and took out a notebook and pen.

“If you have something to say, use this.”

Belladonna, who was looking down at what Fabion was holding, carefully stretched out her hand and took it.

[I don’t know what you’re talking about earlier. Who on earth is living inside me?]

Perhaps because it was written in a hurry, the handwriting was poorly written and shaky. I felt like the ugly writing was expressing my confused and shaking state of mind.

Fabion, who had been looking down at the letters written by Belladonna, slowly raised his head and looked at her. Well, what…! What are you looking at!

“I am 108 years old.”

Yes, it looks that way!

Belladonna still stared at him, her wary expression not letting go.

“Maybe it’s because I’ve been around magic for so many years, but I’ve developed a knack for feeling things that others can’t. I don’t know how to express it, but from the first time I saw you, I could immediately tell that you wasn’t the saint she used to be.”

“…….”

“And even if it’s not necessarily true, if you were a real saint, you wouldn’t react like this when you see me. It’s not our first time meeting each other.”

Ugh… Was he acquainted with the saint?

Belladonna bit her lower lip. Of course he was a person who wasn’t in her memories.

“I heard a rumor That the saint was married to a knight from Griblata, so i went to that cold place at his request to see her face for the first time in a long time…I was also very surprised to see someone other than the saint.”

Belladonna looked him up and down, gulping down her dry saliva.

Me, really?

Even though she thought he was a fraud, his remarks about finding out Belladonna’s secret were unusual. What on earth is this wizard?

“You still don’t fully trust me.”

Fabion let out a short sigh, rummaged through his luggage once again, and took out a short walking stick.

“I was one of the many magicians called to the Vatican by the Pope when she had just gained her holy powers.”

Belladonna recalled the councilors and sorcerers who had been in and out of the Vatican trying to fix her saintly voice. If so, this is one of them…

“Due to my connections at the time, I often visited the Vatican, and naturally became acquainted with the saint. Excuse me, but may I use magic in front of you?”

Hearing her say magic, Belladonna looked up in shock. An ordinary peasant in her previous life, she had no experience with wizards. She had no idea what kind of magic they used or what they could do.

Fabion, who noticed her hesitation, opened her mouth again.

“Oh, it’s not dangerous, I just want to show you a glimpse of my memories.”

Hearing that makes me even more worried……? As Belladonna made her anxious face, Fabion waved his hands and continued his speech.

“It’s not dangerous at all, so don’t worry. I’m going to use my crystal ball on the lady without even touching her with a finger.”

After speaking, he rummaged through his small luggage again and took out a crystal ball the size of his palm. No, how much luggage is in that small bag?

“Now, take a good look inside here.”

Fabion whispered, aiming the tip of her wand at the bead and spitting out unintelligible words. As I felt like his voice was gradually dispersing and the wind was blowing over him, an image began to appear on the pitch-black crystal ball.

What is that…? Belladonna noticed something and narrowed her eyes.

Above the crystal ball, doll-like figures of people were visible. When I looked closely, it seemed to be Saint Belladonna in her youth.

Saint……?

As I continued to look inside, I saw images of the saint from childhood, then a little more grown up, and then fully grown as an adult.

‘This…….’

The scenes seen seemed to be images of the past seen from Fabion’s perspective. The situation where he was with Saint Belladonna was turning like a rapidly turning pages. Belladonna watched her quietly as if she was watching a play on stage.

At first glance, they seemed to have had quite a few meetings. During the short treatment session, the saint smiled at Fabion and even talked to each other. The saint was unable to speak, so all she could do was listen.

When the short video finally ended, Belladonna lifted her head.

What’s that?

“I projected my memories onto the beads.”

Project your memories…? So these are Fabion’s memories? Fabion said as he put the crystal ball and staff in his hand back into the bag.

“Right now, this is the only way I can prove it. Now it’s up to you whether you believe my story or not. How would you like to talk to me?”

“…….”

But Belladonna still didn’t open her mouth. Even if it was true that Fabion was somewhat acquainted with the real saint, that was no reason to completely trust him.

Besides, that thing could have been manipulated!

….Ha, but maybe conversation isn’t that bad?

She swallowed her dry saliva, then lifted her pen as if she had made up her mind.

[Maybe it’s because I’ve met so many people, but I don’t particularly remember the wizard. What do you want to say……]

“lady!!”

Before I could finish the sentence, I heard Cindy’s booming voice from behind.

Startled, i turned my head and saw Cindy running towards us, reaching for the top of her head and waving my hat.
