His Wife ( Granger X Lesley )

9

"Does it taste good?" Lesley gulps her milk. Gusion nods.

"Yup. You improved a lot." Gusion chuckles before he finished the plate.

"Hehe. Thanks, babe. Let me wash it for you. After this, we are going to the empire." Lesley picks all of the plates, forks, and glasses used. She cleaned it.

Meanwhile, Gusion grabs his gear. Fortunately, he finished all of his mission. After this, he can be in his own home. Gusion does not want to trouble Lesley more.

A few minutes later, Lesley already dress up. She gives some instruction for the maids before left. Gusion called for his carriage. Ah, classic.

In the carriage, Gusion tells Lesley on some tips involving his mission. He works for someone, with a high price. Most of his missions were quite hard. It's not like he need to kill people, it's just complicated to say.

"Hm, what should I do to make sure the princess will not be hurt? I just don't like that man." Lesley sigh, before she push her hair forward. The seats were quite spacious, as they sit in front of each other. So, Lesley took this chance to lay down, tired.

"Nah, just be yourself. Say it in front of her face that the duke harassed you!" Gusion folds his hands to chest. Lesley told her about the kiss jokes, and of course Gusion didn't like it.

"Okay. You'll be there for me, right? I just don't want to see his face ever again. It's gross!" Lesley stick her tongue, definitely hates that guy already.

"Of course."

"Please, sit." Silvanna feel really ashamed for what Granger had done. She already had a one to one talk to Lesley. Her magic didn't lie, as she can transparently see what happened right into Lesley's eyes.

Silvanna sigh, then take a cup of tea. She sips twice.

"I'm sorry for what had happened, miss Vance. I- I feel sorry for letting you to be his mentee. As my condolences, I'll gift you twice the payment." She takes out a leather envelope. Lesley was surprised.

"Wait, princess. Is this mean that I will work under him again?!" Lesley nearly explodes, but Gusion calms her down.

"I can assure you to be under Mrs. Weiting, as she's an assassin too. But, she is expecting for her first child, and I don't want to burden her more. Could you please, bear it once again miss Vance? Also, I'll assure you that we can go to magic academy once or twice in every month! You can visit your little brother there." Lesley narrowed her eyes. Her reason seems reasonable, and she will have a chance to meet Harley too!

So, she will not be bored alone in that house before Harley come home for his holidays.

"Well... Em. Wait." Lesley turns her head to Gusion who seem understand. He slowly tilt his head, whisper.

"You can go, if you want. I'll support you." He winks. Gusion knows that Lesley might be lonely at home, so meeting Harley might reduces her loneliness.

"But, I hate that guy, babe. He trolls me!" She sigh before look back at the princess.

"So, what's your final thought?" She elegantly sips her tea.

"As long as he's professional with work, I'll do it. If he do anything stupid, I'll leave that duke once and for all, princess. Thank you for your offer." Lesley sips her tea. Ah, hot teat with lemon. It's so satisfying.

"Great to hear that! Thanks for coming, miss Vance. Thank you too, Mr. Paxley for persuade her to stay. I appreciate your effort." Silvanna takes out something under her sleeve. It is a ring.

"Thank you, your Majesty." Gusion takes the ring. He could sense a magic in that ring.

"It can makes you breath under water. I know your might encounter some mission here and there, so I give it to you as my gratitude. Now, you may dismiss." The couple nods before leave.

Lesley walks slowly down the aisle with Gusion.

"Why she didn't give me that ring?" Lesley seems jealous.

"Haha. Babe, you can't snipe under water. Don't be jealous. I can give you a ring if you want." Gusion winks, tempting.

"Oh, what ring?"

"Your wedding ring." He chuckles before pat her head.

"Hehe. Alright. You might prepare it now, as we promise to get married later." Lesley hugs his arm, comforted.

Now, they are still young. Maybe, in 5 to 6 years, they will get married, if the author say so.

"Alright. I'll be waiting for us to be ready." Gusion pat her head. But then, the couple stops when they see the party pooper. Ah, Duke Granger.

"Oh, hi your highness." Gusion smile, before bow his head once. Meanwhile, Lesley already put her poker face, disgusted. She folds her arm to chest.

"Well, what do we have here? Ah, miss Vance. I feel sorry that you knock on the wrong door. My bad." Granger chuckles, before give a glance to Gusion.

"Hah, whatever." Lesley rolls her eyes.

"Oh, hi too Mr. Paxley." Granger smirk under his coat. Gusion nods, smirking.

Then, Granger continue his words.

"I bet you need to go now, sorry for interrupt your lovey dovey couple day, but miss Vance, we've got important mission to do now. Let's go." Saber, who was right behind Granger nods his head, agree.

Lesley look disbelief.

"What mission?"

"You'll get your answer soon. Saber!" Granger get going. Meanwhile, Saber are assigned to pull Lesley, following his master.

The three of them left Gusion all alone, who seem confuse. But then, he saw Harith, walking with his dear friend.

"Wow, what a great couple ya!!" Gusion greet him from far, making the duke of north ashamed, blushing red.

Gusion laugh, before walks towards them.

"What a long time no see, Harith. I bet since you've become the duke. It's been a while since we practice together. Oh, who is this? Is it your cute girlfriend?" Gusion handshake him, smirking to tease him too.

"Yup. Absolutely. I've been busy all this time. The north are most vulnerable with magic enemies, so I need to put extra protection to the princess' shield. Now, what are you doing here? No mission? Ohh, this is my friend, Nana. You can shut your tease now." Harith grabs his handshake with strong grip. He smile, but judging from his look, he seems disturbed.

"Well, I accompanied my girlfriend earlier. But then, she left after that scar eye and that robot man grabbed her away." Gusion sigh. Harith nod.

"Oh, so miss Vance is his new mentee? I bet Harley would be a mad man if he knew. Granger was quite... Peculiar." Harith feels hard to find a suitable word to describe Granger.

It's like... He's from another world! Granger was more mysterious than the another 3 chevaliers. He don't even know why Silvanna recruit him!

"Hmm. Maybe I should tails them. Wanna go?" Gusion feel worry. Harith shook his head.

"I'll pass. I'm busy now, Gusion. The princess need me for now. By the way, good luck! Now if you let us, let's go Nana." Harith pull her closer, before leave Gusion.

Gusion sigh. He now add a new mission for himself.
