Don't Get Caught by Your Husband!

Fabion, spotting Cindy running towards her like an excited child, bowed down to Belladonna.

“I don’t think today is the right time, ma’am. There will be opportunities in the future. I hope you will always be happy no matter what happens.”

Then, before she could even react, he put on the hood of his robe and walked out towards the garden with his brisk steps. He walked towards the entrance without even looking around.

What…As I was blankly looking at the wizard’s back, which was getting further and further away, Cindy came closer, put the hat on my head, lowered the string, tied a ribbon under her chin, and said.

“It looks like the wizard said his final goodbyes to you? He was a bit older, but he still had good skills, right? done! it looks good on you, right? Let’s go over there!”

Bella also nodded her head. As she walked, guided by Cindy’s hand, she turned her head again and looked towards where Fabion had disappeared.

“…….”

Is that wizard really trustworthy?

The fact that he had figured out at a glance that i wasn’t a real saint made me anxious and nervous, but on the other hand, I also felt a very faint sense of relief at that fact.

I felt strangely comforted by the fact that I wasn’t the only one in this wide world who knew such an enormous secret.

perhaps…..Wouldn’t it be possible to find out why I became like this through him?

Belladonna stared at the spot where Fabion had disappeared for a while, then she quickly turned her head.

It felt like a small storm had passed.

And it also occurred to me that an even bigger storm was waiting to follow.

“It’s so hot I’m dying.”

Escalion grumbled, completely taking off the thin top he was wearing.

He was the type of person who sometimes took off all his clothes even in the cold wind blowing. There was no way he would feel comfortable here, where the average temperature was much higher.

Inside the new couple’s bedroom at the Sirlenia villa, Escalion stretched out his arm for Belladonna’s hand and dragged it over his cheek.

“How is it that my wife can be cold even in such a hot place?”

Belladonna looked up at him blankly, feeling like a wet towel cooling his fever. Belladonna was also wiggling jer hand and he came to attach his body to her secretly.

“hug me. Because you are a big part of what makes me hot.”

Belladonna stretched out her arms and hugged him without hesitation. His broad, hot shoulders more than filled her narrow arms.

Escalion, who was in her arms, pressed her lips to the nape of Belladonna’s neck and murmured softly.

“Why are you so obedient today?”

Bella closed her eyes in silence and hugged him even tighter.

Ever since she met Fabion a little while ago, an unknown feeling of anxiety had been constantly eating away at her. She felt like she couldn’t bear it if she didn’t do this.

“…..What happened?”

Escalion, noticing Belladonna’s heartbeat pounding louder and faster than usual, lifted her head and asked.

Her deep golden eyes were focused on her, full of concern and kindness.

As she looked into Escalion’s beautiful eyes, a sudden sadness came over her.

After a painful fever and death, she woke up again in her saintly body. In fact, it was a kind of blessing that could be considered joyful enough.

Although the saint’s life couldn’t be said to be happy, at least she was alive and breathing.

Bella lived as if she could die again, but she couldn’t become a true saint.

‘I thought it was at least better than my previous life. i live like this, even if one day i go back to normal and die….i never thought it was that bad.’

But after she met Escalion, she began to become more and more greedy.

I never want to return to Astanya, where the Pope is, ever again.

Her mind wanting to run away from everything that becomes her burden and her pain.

She ignores everything like this and with him…She wants to continue being together.

‘If you look at him like this…..I keep having different thoughts.’

Belladonna took a cautious breath to calm the emotions rising to her throat.

“why are you crying?”

Escalion, who had been watching her, asked in a low, subdued voice.

huh? I don’t cry…..

Tuk.

At the same time, for some time, tears that had been building up flowed down his cheeks and landed on the back of his hand.

He quietly looked down at the water droplets that fell on the back of his hand, then raised his eyes again.

“…..What kind of bastard. What did that wizard say earlier?”

Seeing his face slowly hardening, Belladonna hastily shook her head.

Ah, why am I suddenly crying….

Sniff. She inhaled through her nose.

“Then? Is it because when I came here, it wasn’t as good as you thought? Just wait a few days. I’ll change everything to whatever you want……”

Escalion said, raising his hand and wiping away the tears that flowed down Belladonna’s cheeks.

The palm, which had calluses here and there and couldn’t be called soft, moved clumsily over her face.

Belladonna lifted her arm and placed her hand on the back of his hand.

She paused and leaned deeply, pressing her face into his firm palm.

The scorching warmth of Escalion was giving her a sense of security. As she leaned against him, she could feel her anxious heart slowly subsiding.

She felt like she wanted to hug him even tighter and jump into his wide embrace.

“Bella.”

Escalion let out a quiet sigh.

“I don’t know what to do when you cry.”

“…….”

“I feel like my brain is broken. What should I do? What should I do to stop you from crying?”

Belladonna blinked her eyes slowly. Now that she was with him, her mind was beginning to find peace.

There is no need to do anything else…..

Just being together like this was enough of a comfort me.

“Tell me something, okay?”

Anything……?

At that time, the bottle of wine that Wolff had left on the nightstand came into her sight.

<It is said to be a wine made from grapes harvested in Sirlenia. They said it tasted very good.>

<Leave it there.>

<Yes, I understand.>

It was left behind by Wolff, who had briefly visited the new room to see if there were any inconveniences.

Belladonna slowly raised her hand and pointed to the wine bottle.

Escalion, who was following her fingers, immediately frowned.

“Alcohol? You want to drink alcohol?”

Nod…Belladonna nodded her head slowly.

Okay, I guess I’ll take a look…

Escalion turned his head and looked down at her with a suspicious look in her eyes.

“Do you know how to drink? I don’t think the Pope would have let his only daughter drink.”

I’ve never tried it before…She rolled her eyes.

Wouldn’t it be similar to grape juice? Or not.

“….Yeah, whatever. When something upsets you, it’s not a bad idea to drink alcohol to relieve it.”

Finally, Escalion let out a quiet sigh, sat up completely, and stretched out her arms toward her nightstand.

He grabbed the edge of the nightstand and dragged it closer to the bed, then lifted the bottle of wine on it with one hand and uncorked it. Pong! A sweet grape scent flowed out along with a cheerful sound.

oh….

With his deft touch, Escalion turned over two of the wine glasses and poured out half of her wine. He handed one of them to Belladonna, who looked down at him with concern and spat it out.

“Don’t try to drink it all at once. Savor the scent first, then slowly wet your tongue.”

Savor it slowly…… !

Belladonna took her wine glass with both hands, looked down at it with determined eyes, and then suddenly brought it to her mouth. Then Escalion dragged her cup back from her and said,

“Uh huh. We should start with a toast.”

Oh, I see!

Belladonna quickly clinked her glass against his.

It looked cute, so Escalion giggled.

Can I drink it now?

Belladonna, watching Escalion, saw him smiling at her and raising her wine glass to her own mouth, and did the same.

Sniff.

A scent much richer and more concentrated than grape juice tickled the tip of her nose. Belladonna tilted her glass of wine to wet her lips in anticipation.

‘…..delicious!’

Belladonna stuck out her tongue and dabbed a little of her wine on her lips, her eyes sparkling.

The flavor was so deep and rich that it was completely different from grape juice. She quickly tipped her glass back and took a sip of the wine.

“Aren’t you drinking it too hastily?”

Before she knew it, Escalion, who had completely emptied his glass and put it down, looked at her and asked.

Then you drank it all yourself….?

Despite Bella’s slight resistance, she bravely gulped down the remaining wine.

Ugh….! Is this just like a delicious juice? Maybe I’m a more prolific person than I thought?

“Is it worth?”

Nod!

“Now I know that my wife was a natural drinker.”

Escalion chuckled, picked up the wine bottle and poured more into his glass.

Give it to me too!

She asked, giving him a dumbfounded look as Bella Donna pushed her own empty glass down to him.

“You want to drink more? Just sleep?”

No!

“Why are you insisting on drinking more when this topic gets heated so quickly?”

She said as Escalion touched the back of his hand to her cheek. The soft cheeks that were suddenly warm and radiating warmth were cute.

Give me more! Belladonna waved her glass up and down in her hand, urging him to continue.

“I don’t know.”

Escalion shook his head and filled her glass. Belladonna smiled brightly at her and brought it to her lips again.

“Look at how tour eyes are wide open and smiling. Anyone can see that you look like a novice drunk who drank alcohol for the first time today.”

Belladonna ignored his words and gulped down the remaining liquid from her.

As he said, her eyes gradually opened, the corners of her mouth gradually rose, and her mood began to gradually improve.

Is this why people drink? The feeling of my body floating wasn’t bad.

It felt like everything I had been thinking about seriously just a moment ago was being dismissed as nothing special. Belladonna heard take a deep breath and blink her eyes.

“Stop now.”

Escalion again snatched Belladonna’s cup, which was empty in an instant.

Belladonna looked at him with her regret.

“Why were you crying? Now tell me.”

Escalion asked, holding out her own palm.

She glanced down at his large palm, and instead of spreading her fingers out, she leaned her cheek against his palm.

Escalion was felt to support her in dismay.

“Bella, are you really drunk?”

“…….”

Belladonna rubbed her heated cheek against his palm. She loved Escalion’s rough palm, which had shared her comfort and warmth with her just moments ago.

“……Okay, let’s just sleep.”

A voice that seemed to have given up fell on the head that was rubbing against him. At the sound of his voice, Belladonna lifted her head from his palm.

The face of Escalion came into view, looking down at her with a perplexed look on his face, his ears stained red.

His golden eyes are always kind.

I’m crying!

Suddenly, emotions welled up again. When Belladonna pouted the corners of her mouth, Escalion came up to her in surprise.

“Why all of a sudden? What did I do wrong? Is it because i didn’t give me more alcohol?”

No….

Does this mean I’m drunk, my emotions are fluctuating wildly…

The only difference from before was that she cried not because she was sad, but because she was thankful and happy for him. I’m thankful that he’s always so kind.

Belladonna slowly stretched out her arms and took both of his hands, placing them on her cheeks.

Their shaking gazes met each other.

“Bella.”

Eventually, Escalion’s mouth opened. He asked with a low gaze.

“…..Do you want me to comfort you?”
