Don't Get Caught by Your Husband!

“lady! A letter has arrived.”

The next morning, Cindy said as he walked into the bedroom, holding a bundle of envelopes in one hand.

Belladonna, who was sitting on a chair at her table beneath her large window, eating her breakfast, lifted her head toward her.

“Let’s see…..oh! It’s from Astanya!”

Ugh…..

Bella, who was munching, frowned without realizing it.

She was eating deliciously, but in an instant, she felt like her stomach was churning and becoming sluggish.

I’ll have to read this later….

After receiving the envelope from Cindy, Belladonna flipped it over and put it down, then lifted her fork and stabbed the bacon across from her.

“Hmm, I think the rest have all come to the lord…I will deliver these to the study. please wait for a moment!”

Cindy, who was reading the remaining envelopes and reading the recipients, spoke in a light voice.

huh? give it to me! I’ll tell him!

Belladonna raised an eyebrow and she held out her hand to Cindy. Escalion would come to this room in the evening anyway, so there was no need for her to walk to his study.

“Oh, could you please deliver it for me?”

Nod!

“Thank you, ma’am! Then shall I leave it here? Wolff handles most urgent business letters, so these are probably not that urgent and are personal letters.”

Belladonna nodded at Cindy and eagerly devoured her bacon.
Before reading the letter from the Pope, it was important for him to eat well.

‘I don’t know what else to write to make me feel uncomfortable…….’

“Anyway, I think the Pope really likes you.”

“keh.”

Belladonna, who was pushing mashed potatoes into her mouth after bacon, swallowed them down with a strange sound.

“Are you okay, ma’am?”

Cindy, surprised by the strange sound coming from Bella’s throat, picked up the bottle of water on her table and filled her glass.

Bella also picked up a full glass of water and forced herself to swallow the water to calm her stomach.

Would you be okay with it? What kind of strange thing is that, that the Pope really likes the saint….?!

“Eat it slowly! Then pretend.”

okay…..

Bella nodded and forced her to pull at the corner of her mouth.

Cindy pulled out a chair and sat down across from her, looking at the envelope lying face down on the table.

“The Pope writes letters quite often, right? I was wondering how much he cared for you when you lived together, so I would often ask how he is to hus married daughter.”

“…….”

“I really envy such an ideal father-daughter relationship! My father probably doesn’t care what I do in this castle, right? All my father is interested in is drinking and card games…….”

Cindy said, slumping her shoulders.

Bella also listened to her words, picking up the napkin she had placed on her lap and wiping her mouth.

“But he’s improved a lot these days. In the past, my gambling debts grew so much that my younger siblings had to drop out of school. It seems that since i started earning money thanks to my lord hiring me, he don’t touch gambling anymore.”

Cindy, you were the head of the family…

Belladonna looked at her with her pitiful eyes.

Cindy shrugged her shoulders as if nothing had happened and continued speaking.

“anyway! I am so jealous of that kind father is your father.”

Belladonna lowered her eyes and turned her gaze to the envelope bearing the Pope’s seal.

The Pope’s intention in sending the letter was very different from what Cindy thought.

‘Perhaps his intention is to let me know that there are only a few weeks left in my marriage and to make sure that I am still in his hands…..Also, he wonder if there is a conflict between me and my husband that could be used to his advantage……’

Bella sighed softly and picked it up. Apparently, breakfast should stop here.

Cindy asked as i got up from her seat, checking on me as well as Bella who had put down her dishes.

“Ma’am, have you finished eating? Then, would you like me to bring you some cold tea? There is a fruit that can only be harvested in Sirlenia, and the chef said he made fruit syrup with it! They say it tastes pretty good when you mix it with water and drink it.”

When Belladonna gave her a begging smile, Cindy excitedly turned and ran out of her room.

Left alone, Belladonna relaxed her body against the back of her chair and tore open the envelope of her letter without hesitation.

“Ugh, I don’t want to read……”

Belladonna forced herself to read the Pope’s handwriting that filled her square piece of paper.

As her pupils lowered, her expression became hard.

“……It’s exactly as I expected.”

It was a letter whose contents were not at all different from her expectations.

In a few weeks, she asks her to return to Astanya and resume her role as a saint, and secretly hints that she should hold on just a little longer, collect a lot of alimony, and get a divorce.

“How long are you going to tell the same story every time…”

Belladonna lifted one of her hands and massaged her rapidly tired forehead.

Since last night, her complicated feelings had been filling her mind.

There were still many things she couldn’t decide, but one thing was certain: she never wanted to return to the Vatican in Astanya. And to do that…

“I have to stay married to Escalion for a long time without getting divorced…..”

How not to get divorced…..

Bellafonna, who had been muttering in her low voice, let out a low sigh and shook her head.

She seemed to have no choice. Even if I never ended up talking about divorce, the Pope could have taken issue with his weakness and requested a divorce first.

So, I had no choice in marriage or divorce in the first place…..

“……But what exactly is the Pope’s weakness?”

According to information obtained through close associates, it was said that there was a defect, but it was impossible to tell what was defective about him from the outside.

Did he scam anyone during his mercenary days? Did he touch someone he shouldn’t touch?

“Ugh….”

Belladonna, who was shaking her little head, slowly stood up. Her head felt dizzy and dizzy, and she just wanted to lie down in her bed.

“OMG……I don’t know anything, I’ll stop thinking….”

At that time, Belladonna’s eyes, as she was walking to the bed, shaking her body, fell on the envelope of the letter on the nightstand.

‘The letter that came to Escalion…’

Belladonna reached out and picked them up.

It was without thinking that I lifted her letter and checked the recipient.

There was no purpose at all to check who the letters were from, it was just a light action to cool off my dizzy head.

Bella, who was sitting on her bed and flipping through her envelopes one by one, suddenly stopped when my hand stopped.

This was because, among the names of her men, which gave off a heavy and rough feeling that might have been the names of mercenaries, a familiar name she hadn’t encountered in a very long time caught her eye.

“……”

Belladonna felt her throbbing head turn cold and put the bundle of letters down on the nightstand.

“Huh, ma’am?”

Cindy, who was coming in with a glass bottle full of cold fruit tea, stopped in her tracks. After getting ready to go out into her hall, Belladonna was standing in front of her mirror, looking back at her.

Cindy blinked her eyes and set the vial down on the table.

“Where are you going? Tell me! I would have helped.”

Bella also shook her head and walked away. She calmed down somehow and had a quite resolute look on her face.

Cindy, embarrassed by her expression as if she was seeing her for the first time, followed behind her and opened her mouth.

“L, let’s go together, ma’am! I’ll get ready and come out soon!”

Bella wanted to shake her head again this time, but Cindy acted faster.

Cindy, who had gone ahead of her at any moment, was quickly running down the stairs to her maid’s room.

Bellafonna, looking at her back, let out a sigh.

‘I wanted to spend some time alone…’

Scarlett Layton.

It was confirmed Scarlett Layton’s name in a bunch of letters that had been sent to Escalion a little while ago.

The moment she encountered the name that she had unknowingly buried deep inside and ignored, Belladonna came to her senses as if someone had poured cold water on her head.

A cold realization washed over her whole body that her side in Escalion was not her own after all.

‘What are you going to do next to someone you love….’

When I thought about that, I felt like an endless depression was washing over me.

For a while, I couldn’t see any trace of her or her name, so I thought she might have ended her relationship…

“…….”

Judging from the fact that she even sent letters like this, it seems that Scarlett didn’t do that at least.

Maybe Escalion too…..

Belladonna, who had been frozen in place for a moment, shook her head and moved her legs.

‘I decided to divorce him anyway!’

I hated going back to Astanya, where the sinister Pope was waiting, but I hated even more being forced to stay by the side of the man I was in love with.

‘That too from Escalion…….’

Belladonna thought about that and stopped her steps.

What she felt now was not simply a sense of betrayal or disappointment towards her soon-to-be-divorced husband. She was like her husband’s mistress who would soon break off the relationship, so it wasn’t something to pay much attention to.

Belladonna quietly lifted her hand and cupped her own heart. Her unfamiliar pain was weighing heavily on her heart.

‘Why do I feel this way…….’

Even though she vaguely knew the answer, she felt like turning away.

This is all because he is needlessly sweet! It’s because that filthy libertine bastard plays with women’s hearts as he pleases……!

Belladonna shook her head vigorously again and approached the stairs.

‘Let’s go outside and get some warm air.’

The moment I got halfway down the stairs and turned to look at the first floor lobby, I saw a familiar, large figure walking behind Cindy, who was trying hard to explain what it was.

Oh, no!

I didn’t want to face Escalion right now. Surprised, Bella unknowingly grabbed the handrail of the stairs tightly and made her take a step back.

“Bella?”

But when she lifted her head and met Escalion’s beautiful golden eyes looking up at her.

So when she saw that her heart had dropped to the floor and she was racing away.

So Belladonna has no choice but to admit that she is.

It was really sad.

Ah, I have come to Love this man.
