How to Get My Husband on My Side

Chapter 74

I had become friends with Ellenia, gained Sir Ivan’s trust, met some really nice people here, and so, my husband...

Maybe that was not the only reason why he was so nice to me.

On a day like today, when he even gave me the keys to the jewelry warehouse...

Damn it, he’s going to take it back in just a day.

When I recalled the looks everyone had on their face earlier, I sighed.

I was really stupid. It’s not like I hadn’t expected it. What kind of presumptions was I keeping?

While I was nibbling and eating, Ronja, who had barely stopped crying, looked at me and asked carefully, “Madam, where should I prepare your bath today?”

Lucille, who was filling the empty glass with milk, had tapped Ronya on the shoulder, giving a hint.

It was a gesture to ask questions.

I frequently used my husband’s luxurious bathroom instead of my bathroom.

It would only be right to have the decency to wash up in my bathroom on a night like this...

“As usual. Just get ready, I’ll take care of it today.”

The two maids exchanged their eyes side by side.

Was it because of my words that they looked worried?

Sounded pretty gutsy to my ears too.

Nevertheless, it was better to get beaten first and finish the painful work quickly.

If it was an ordeal you have to go through anyway, it’s better to finish it as soon as possible because you’re just waiting for it.

This morning my father-in-law told me something bizarre about his son’s first love.

Freya also said something similar, although the gist was a bit different.

Simply put, I was Izek’s first love, so I’ll take it as a special position for a moment to get his sympathy.

There was no way for me to know whether that was true or not.

Because this development didn’t come out in the original.

If in their eyes, Izek looked like a completely different person, then whatever the reason is, he seemed to be really soft on me.

So if I acted as if I was self-reflecting as much as I could, maybe he would let go of it.

Since he seemed to like me a little bit, if he accepted anything voluntarily, maybe I could find a way to make up for today’s incident.......

After dinner, it was my daily routine to take a short night walk for exercise.

Today, I told Ronja and Lucille to rest early and headed alone to the greenhouse garden.

Previously shameless and determined, worries crept in as soon as I entered the beautiful garden filled with water, colorful lights revealed in depths.

Ah, the key to the jewelry warehouse was a problem.

What if they took it away from me?

I wasn’t sure when Izek would return home.

Sometimes he appeared around this time and sometimes he came back when I was getting ready to sleep.

Still, he was always back early compared to the past.

“Hoo.......”

Maybe because I threw up after a long time, I felt a throbbing pain in my stomach.

It’s been a while, but I’ve been trying to control myself as much as I can these days. I can’t help but feel a little sorry for my stomach.

Izek may be the same as ever, but I was worried about Ellenia.

What kind of eyes would I see from now on?...I felt like the maid was right.

I was glad to have gotten closer at best, but this was a short and beautiful illusion.

In addition, Ellenia was even worse off, because she had helped me so far without knowing.

If Ellenia concluded that I had become “weird” like her dead mother, and if she told her family about my bad habits, it’d just become horrible.

Who liked someone who reminded them of a dead woman who left in a bad way?

I approached the bench in front of the cool waterfall fountain and sat down, a glass can containing shiny fireflies on my lap.

I didn’t know if today would be the last time I come here, so I had to keep an eye on it.

It was sad. I was looking forward to playing with Ellenia here.

Come on, come on, come on! You have to think about breaking through.

It was comforting that I did not have to worry about the cancellation of marriage anymore.

All right, let’s go in soon, clean up the bath, and wait for my husband.

By the time he comes to me, he would have heard from Sir Ivan or lElenia, but I had to pretend to be willing to speak up first.

How should I explain it? That I was just jealous because she looked so close to him?

Until not long ago, such words from Rudbeckia in the original book would be considered taboo, but these days, after spending the night together, this childish reason would be better than to be considered to have become proud.

Let’s decide the reason based on his mood. Even though I’ll get in more trouble for lying to him earlier.....

All of a sudden, my heart started beating fast.

Right, I heard he hated lying.

I dug my own grave.

But what can I do now? Even if I got in trouble until my body got worn out, I had to pray and make up for today’s situation.

I’d also have to give Ellenia the same explanation, and pretend to apologize sincerely to Freya in front of the siblings.

Of course, I had pride, so I would rather put a poisoned apple in my mouth than apologise to Freya, who put me in this situation once again, but I couldn’t ruin my image that I had been building up so hard.

The childish reason that I was jealous of my husband’s childhood friend was worthy of the image of an immature idiot princess.

The problem was that even if it went well as planned, judging from the ambitious warning Freya gave me today, it was highly likely that I would be in trouble again in the future.

It would be better if it were as childish and trivial as this was.

It was so obvious that I was a stumbling block to her “Make the North Great Again” project.

Well, how noble was it that the fundamental reason to defeat me was for the prosperity of her hometown?

What an insidious b*tch. I was doubtful whether the poisoning attempt was Freya’s own play.

Anyway, let’s just work things out now.......

“My lady.”

An unexpected voice made me startled.

Subsequently, a servant with a straight and majestic body like a pole slowly appeared.

A woman with dark brown eyes and hair brushed behind her forehead.

It was the nanny maid, whom I had rarely encountered recently.

I didn’t know why she came to visit me all of a sudden.

Was Ellenia looking for me?

“Here you are, my lady.”

The maid’s expression, who opened her mouth with a nasally voice, was insensitivity itself.

Stress crashed suddenly, but I asked indifferently, trying not to show any weakness, “What’s going on?”

“My lady asked me to make sure you’re done eating.”

It was something she would usually check through Lucille or Ronja.

She said again, just as I was trying to make that point, “As you already know, I’ve been taking care of her since she was a little girl, so she often tells me secrets that she can’t tell others.”

“.......”

“She probably thought I’d change my mind about my lady by doing that, but... I actually noticed it from the beginning.”

I had a feeling I knew what she was talking about.

What else was there besides my anorexia?

I didn’t expect Ellenia to tell the maid.

Even if she said it, it wasn’t wrong.

The maid was a nanny closer to Ellenia than her biological mother.

Moreover, based on what the maid said, it would not have been a bad intention.

The problem was that the maid seemed to be taking it completely differently from Ellenia’s intentions.

“You understand what I mean. You may be angry that this humble servant is interfering in your personal matters.”

Indeed, today seemed to be the day. Maybe they were all working together?

When I did not answer back, the maid waited a moment and kept talking.

“I heard that you know about the story of the eldest lady who passed away. Of course, my lady couldn’t tell me how hard it was for her at that time.”

The smile on the maid’s face shook a little.

There was a chill in the back of my neck.

I see. I see.

I vaguely assumed that the maid, who had seen the Omerta’s Mistress closer than anyone else at the time, would have felt sorry for her, but now it seemed completely different.

That eerie smile felt more like criticism than pity or longing.

Well, yes, the maid was Ellenia’s nanny, not my mother-in-law’s nanny.

Oh god, how terrifying was she?

She was top-class in loyalty.

The people here were all very loyal.

The said nanny was now staring at me with a very challenging look.

I didn’t move a muscle. I hardly breathed.

“Do you understand what I’m saying? I don’t want her to suffer the same pain again.”

“.......”

“But you can ruin her relationship with people around her not only through such habits but also by acting strangely...I doubt that you’ve cursed the owners of this castle.”

This is ... Ha, you’re totally treating me like a psychopath.

I thought she came to me for what happened at the tea party, but..

This was a truly outrageous remark.

However, she even leaned towards me as if she wanted me to slap her.

She probably wanted me to get angry and make a fuss.

“I’d like to ask you to do this, my lady. Please, until the day you leave...”

“Leave? Where will I leave?”
