I Raised My Husband Wrong

Duke Everett.

Although it was weaker in authority and power than Baltail, it was still one of the most powerful families in the Evgenia Empire.

If Valtail made a name for himself as a dragon hunter and dragon slayer, Everett made a name for himself as a protector of humans.

“I am waiting for you in the living room. Come on.”

As soon as the butler’s words fell, Kaius jumped up from his seat. And he walked quickly towards the drawing room.

Leverticia quietly followed after him.

‘When we said we were here before, we didn’t even care.’

I was a little startled by the 180 degree different attitude, but it didn’t seem like it was the time when I was judging that.

“there.”

“….”

“Are you okay?” “….”
Kaius’ condition was strange.

With a pale face and clenched small fists, he walked, looking straight ahead. I almost fell over because I couldn’t see the small jaw.
It was such a frozen movement that it was hard to believe that he was that quick and agile child. In the end, Leverticia grabbed Kaius by the shoulder and stood up.

“what’s the matter? Why are you falling like this?” The child’s condition was serious.
He was trembling, not even looking at her properly. It was the first time I had seen him shivering like a small animal that was hit by the rain, rather than his usual harshness and raising me.

The emotion in the boy’s eyes was deep fear.

For a moment, Leverticia took a deep breath. She knew these eyes well. ‘The eyes are similar to when I met my uncle when I was young.’
Leverticia immediately hugged Kaius in a flash. Surprised, he barely made eye contact with her.

Taking advantage of that moment, Leverticia whispered. “I will protect you.”
“… you?”

“okay. So don’t be afraid. No matter where you are, I’m always there to pick you up. trust me.”

Kaius’s eyes fluttered wildly.

He seemed to think for a moment, then nodded. “Stay by my side. Leverticia.”
Kaiers trusted her.

It was not a human trust, but an unconscious belief based on experience I had so far. It’s about her actions that she couldn’t see, leaving herself in a dangerous place all the time.

Before arriving at the drawing room, Leverticia opened her mouth slightly.

“You don’t know, but I’m a pretty famous knight. Duke Everett will surely recognize my face.”

“Are you on good terms with the peacock?” “never.”
Leverticia smiled bitterly.

The Duke of Everett was the family that tried the most to keep her away from the emperor.

because. The Emperor’s closest aides should be guardians, but they couldn’t. All the blame is on her.
The eldest son of the Everett family was also the leader of the Red Moon Knights, Ensodi, who always derided her as a rabid dog.

“Rather, it’s between Cheolcheon Ji-soo.”

“Then what are you going to do? They might try to get you out as soon as they see you. I… I can’t stop it.”

Kaiers’ voice grew gloomy. Leverticia’s judgement was slightly twisted at the unusual appearance of a child.

How dare you pity my stingy cat like this? “don’t worry. I will find a way.”
Leverticia glanced around lightly. Then, I found the windows that were regularly attached to various places in the hallway, and I rolled my eyes and smiled.

“I think the hard work of hide-and-seek will be worthwhile.”

As Kaius carefully opened the drawing room door and entered, the man who had been waiting rose from his seat and approached him.

“Hello, Prince Valtail. long time no see.”

A well-groomed outfit and a dignified voice. A man who is perfectly restrained in every little action. It was Duke Everett.

In comparison, Kaius’ eyes and actions were still slightly trembling.

The Duke of Everett did not miss such a small thing. A deeper smile spread across his face.

“How have you been?” “… Yes.”
“I’ve been busy lately, so I haven’t been able to visit often. How did you calm down a little?”

“… Yes.”

“I’m glad you did.”

Kaius nodded awkwardly, repeating the same answer. He still hadn’t made eye contact with the Duke of Everett.

The Duke smiled and spoke as if nothing was wrong with Kaius’s attitude.

Then, as if thinking of something, he clapped his hand slightly. It wasn’t too loud because he was wearing gloves, but it was enough to make Kaius jump in surprise.

“I forgot to introduce myself. I am not alone today.”

The Duke said, shoving a girl standing behind me forward.

The girl gently grabbed the hem of her skirt, bent her knees, and opened her mouth.

“Hello, Duke. Nice to meet you. This is Violetta Everett.” It was a clear and cute voice.
Violetta ruffled her dark hair, which had just flowed down her back as she greeted her. Her eyes twinkled like purple jewels. She was a beautiful girl like a doll.

Although cute, the duke smiled satisfactorily at the dignified greeting.

“It’s my girlfriend. I am twelve years old this year. He is so kind and gentle that our family calls him an angelic child.”

When the duke’s introduction was added, Violetta dyed her cheeks red as if she was embarrassed and did not know what to do.

After everyone sat down and the car left, the Duke continued to praise Violetta.

Each time, Violetta grinned visibly, feeling helpless, and Kaius answered yes, yes, soulless, or kept her mouth shut.

From the outside, it seemed like a friendly atmosphere. “this.”
After talking for a while, Duke Everett opened his mouth as if he was in trouble.

“I’m sorry, Duke. We talked too much about ourselves. It will be free.” “Yes. Oh no….”
“Oh my, the duke’s car is cold.”

Violetta covered her mouth with both hands and spoke in surprise. Kaiers didn’t even touch the teacup to hide his trembling body, and the tea was
completely cold.

Violetta looked up at my father with wide eyes. “father. Is it okay if I pour the Duke’s new tea?”
“Five. That’s a good idea. I just learned something new.” “sure. please wait for a moment.”
Violetta got up from the sofa. And went to the seat next to Kaius.

As the street suddenly got closer to the hook, Kaius’s vigilance rose. Duke Everett opened his mouth to distract his attention.

“One day, when the Emperor takes in the Empress, I am working hard to become a maid. She is a very gentle and kind child, and the teachers always praised her. If he was the right age, he would be a good candidate for
empress.”

“My father is too. I’m twelve now. I like people who are a little more similar. For example… uhm.”

Violetta looked at Kaius and smiled, intentionally extending her tongue. It was a pretty blatant expression of affection.

However, none of that kind came to Kaius’ ears. ‘Close.’
Violetta was sitting right next to her on the pretext of pouring him a cup of tea.

And Kaius was very vigilant. Even when Leverticia first caught him, he threw it away and ran away.

In addition, the Duke Everett was in front of him, so he was even more sensitive because he was in a state of soaring fear and fear.

In the end, the moment Violetta handed him a teacup and touched his hand, it exploded.

clink—

The glass cup fell to the floor and shattered. “Damn!”

“Violeta!”

Duke Everett shouted.

The butler and maid standing behind were also startled and followed quickly.

“Princess. Are you okay?” “Are you okay, Violetta?”
“Ah, father. That cow, the hand….”

The tips of Violetta’s white fingers were slightly red and swollen. He wasn’t hurt by the broken teacup, but it looked like hot tea was splashed.

For a moment, Duke Everett’s eyes filled with arsenic. However, it soon returned to normal in an instant.

Instead, he looked at Kaius with reproachful eyes. Kaiers was greatly perplexed.

‘I didn’t do it.’

No matter how sensitive he is, he doesn’t throw a glass to the extent of his fingertips. Just before, I was startled and just pulled out my hand, but at that moment the glass fell to the floor.

“Hey, this is what I did….”

Belatedly, Kaius tried to speak up, but the people around him were already busy examining Violetta’s wounds.

The precious duke Young-ae’s hand was burnt. This was because it was a dangerous situation that could escalate into a big problem between the families.

In place of Kaius, who was speechless in embarrassment, Violetta sighed and opened her mouth.

“I’m fine, Dad. I’m so excited because it’s the first time I’m seeing the Duke today…. You must have been a little nervous. Next time, I hope you treat the girl a little more warmly.”

She pulled out her trembling injured hand and hid it behind her back. And he smiled bitterly like a person who endured pain.

He looked like a complete victim.

In response, the servants of the Duke Baltail family were biting their lips and could not even raise their heads properly.

Kaiers bit his teeth tightly.

When he came to this situation, he also began to not make a proper judgment.

‘Did I do it? Did I really hit and fall?’

That was the moment that thought ran through his mind. “It’s not what the Duke did.”
