I Raised My Husband Wrong

 

“… what it is.”

 

“I think I should get some sleep. I even helped Barton deal with a gunshot wound, and I’m so tired.”

 

With those words left, Leverticia scrambled up onto the bed.

 

Then, like a child hiding under the blanket, he pulled the blanket and made her body small and round.

 

Kaiers had a strange feeling.

 

Ever since she was a child, she was like an adult. no. she was an adult

He lost his parents early and had to take care of his younger brother, and when he grew up he had to take charge of the Knights Templar, and now he was almost responsible for protecting the Empire.

 

She had to be an adult who could not let go of responsibility for even a single moment.

 

‘… Not really.’

 

He looked at the curled up blanket. ‘Now I’m just like a child.’

Only then did Kaius realize why she seemed somehow a stranger every time she spoke of her parents and her brother.

 

That was her true self when she was with her family. For my age, I threw away all the extreme responsibility. Maybe even a fool knows how to play….

Kaius reached out slowly and brushed her white hair that was leaking out of the duvet.

 

“… It was when I was younger.”

 

Her small voice came from the blanket.

 

“Unbelievable, he was a pretty sweet kid.”

 

He had no hesitation in saying ‘I love you’ to himself with his own mouth. She really loved her past self.

Her voice, reminiscent of her childhood, was small, but filled with joy, and seemed to recall the days when she drew happiness without any worries or anxieties.

 

“It’s not funny. Even then, his personality was so arrogant, he climbed up the tree saying it was a long day, didn’t he? He enjoyed running around on the lawn and splashing muddy water. So, no matter how pretty you wear a dress, it will be messed up in the evening. Then when I go back, Mom sighs and puts her forehead on her forehead, and Dad laughs at me even though I’m kicking his tongue.”

 

Leverticia, who was explaining the past, burst into laughter as if she had become a child of that time.

 

Kai patted her hair and listened quietly. There was also a gentle smile on his lips.

 

“But my mom was arguing every day and never nagging me not to do it to me. On the contrary, my dad was surprised inside when it was difficult to go outside, and even inside the house, he made a playground with dirt and sand. that it was aristocratic Can you imagine?”

 

“… They’re great people. I must have really loved you.”

 

“right. really. I’m not even that wealthy, but every time my clothes are made of very luxurious and expensive fabrics. Thinking about it now, I get goosebumps about how I climbed a tree in that expensive outfit.”

 

Their parents loved Leverticia so much that they felt sorry for their real son, Rudel.

 

As long as the other noble girls were doing it, even in a crowd, Leverticia did it all.

 

So, as a child, she thought she was a princess from a fairy tale. It was such a happy childhood.

 

“… Now I understand why my parents did that.”

“Why did you do that?”

“Because I am not the daughter.”

 

The day she found out that she wasn’t her real daughter too, she lay in bed and cried a lot, but how did her parents feel?

 

Adopted children from noble families, even children picked up on the street. I had a sense of how much the other nobles were talking.

 

So, on the contrary, he valued Leverticia more than most of her biological daughters.

 

So that other nobles would not dare to look down on her, and that she might not be hurt.

 

My parents were kind people.

 

Thanks to their love, the young Leverticia grew up to be a bright and lively child.

 

“Not at all now.”

“why?”

“You know what I was thinking? I’d rather have my parents signed a contract with the warlocks. If you did, you wouldn’t have died. It’s a pathetic and selfish idea for a commander of the Empire.”

 

“it’s okay. Now you are just Leverticia.”

 

At Kaius’ words, Leverticia took off the blanket and raised her head.

“What are you talking about?”

“I am your family too. So, you can show it to me only in front of your family.”

 

“….”

 

“What’s wrong with leaning on someone when they’re having a hard time?”

 

In his life, there was no father who made a sand playground in the mansion for his children, nor a mother who sighed as he saw his child climbing up the tree and picked out new clothes every day.

 

Perhaps it was he, not her, who was not lovable at all.

 

Had she not appeared in his life when he was young, his father’s revenge or whatever he would have simply hid and avoided the world.

 

Just busy running away every day….

‘He must have died without regret.’

In fact, she had only met Kyus as a child for only a few months. But those few months changed his life.

 

Immediately after she disappeared, I was madly resentful about why she had changed me and disappeared alone.

 

Kaius looked into her eyes quietly.

 

“And you still….”

 

You are so strong and lovely.

 

It was beautiful and warm, like the energy of spring, when new hairs sprouted through the cold winter.

 

Kaiers couldn’t help but shut his mouth.

***

Leverticia fell asleep.

 

I fell into a deeper sleep than usual because of a lot of hard work, starting with falling into a trap.

 

“Leave it. He’ll be fine for three days.”

 

The next morning, Kaius spat lightly at the maids trying to wake her up.

 

Unlike in the past, now that I know her characteristics well, I am not surprised. No, rather, it was an opportunity.

 

‘While that guy is sleeping, let’s try to take care of it secretly.’

 

It was a moment when I was a little bit nauseous even though I was sick and couldn’t do anything.

 

The first thing he did was catch Patrick, who was trying to escape to another country.

 

“Aww! Why are you shooting like that again?! I saw in the newspaper that he was seriously injured! He said he fainted!”

 

“you?”

 

“Oh, no. Go, Duke!”

 

Patrick quickly shook his head.

 

He was said to be weak and weak, and he was a gentle sheep in front of the strong.

 

Kaius smiled fiercely.

 

“So, where did you dare to run away? It’s no use even if you run away to another country anyway. I’ll immediately put a wanted list on all countries. Do you know that these warlocks are criminals across the continent?”

 

“Hey!”

 

“And you, I heard you said you owe a loan company? Because of gambling.”

 

Kaiers said sarcastically. Patrick, feeling the dangerous energy in his voice, protested with a smirk.

 

“Oh, no. this… I was going to repay you with this….”

 

“Are you kidding me? That’s the down payment from the warlocks. I received that in return for trapping Leverticia.”

 

“Hey! That, that!”

 

“You didn’t even really want to pay it back, but you were going to use it as money for your escape? what the. That money will be confiscated.”

 

“Yes?! That’s not really too much… Oh no. Can there be any disagreement?”

 

Patrick quickly lowered his tail at Kaius’s terrifying expression.

 

Having confiscated the money bag from Patrick’s hand, Kaiers brought a document through the attendant next to him.

 

He said, flapping the document in front of Patrick’s eyes.

 

“Your debt, now you have to pay it back to me, not the lender.”

“Yes, yes? what is that….”

“The lender took over your debt documents. Now it’s me, not you, who will pay you back.”

 

“Heh heh.”

 

Upon hearing the terrible news, Patrick swallowed his saliva.

“Hey, could you just forgive me….”

 

“Do you think there will be?”

 

“I-I’m still the cousin of the Duchess’s wife, Leverticia!”

 

“So no more. Isn’t it too conscientious to torment her like that and claim that they are relatives now?”

 

Kaiers snorted.

 

If Baron Wilfred were still alive, he would have made him crawl on all fours, but it was a bit disappointing. But his son, Patrick, was likewise a naughty bastard.

 

“Be prepared. I am a creditor many times worse than your father.”

Wherever you go, you experience the same thing.

Leaving behind Patrick, who begged by his crotch, Kyus turned.
