Duke's wife

Chapter 30

'I have to investigate this matter more and find out how much my father has intervened in this. How far does he know?.... I am sure I will know how to break the 'curse', if I know that.'

Ergo, she must have to reveal the truth even if it's something she never wants to face.

While ruminating and making her mind, Grace felt her body quivering with anxiety that was slowly becoming unbearable to her.

'I want to see him right now.'

Engulfed by the warmth of his heart, she wanted to apologize for her jealousy a little while ago and to put this anxiety to rest. Grace got up in a hurry. Then Sally said, surprised by her sudden behavior.

"La-Lady? What's wrong?"

"...I need to see Duke Arthur right now. Where is the Duke's office?"

"What? The office?"

"Please guide me right now."

In a hurry, she ordered Sally to guide her. Grace hastily approached the door and opened it.

"...Madam?"

Arthur, with a worried face, stood in front of the door.

"......."

Grace ran without saying anything and hugged him tightly. It was because she was overwhelmed to see that the person she missed the most and wanted to talk to was in front of her eyes.

Arthur too, embraced Grace, putting his chin on her head and asked affectionately.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"No, I just... I just missed you. I am happy to see you standing here."

"... Is that so? I am glad you're back."

Arthur gently patted her soft shoulders with his big hand when Grace spoke out her feelings on impulse. Grace enjoyed Arthur's gentle touch and dug deeper into his arms. There was a low burst of laughter above her head. Arthur said, hugging her head with his big hand.

"Sally, I want you to stay away for a moment. Tell the knights over there to go downstairs for a while too."

"Okay, Duke."

Along with the words, Sally's careful steps were heard by Grace. She just wanted to have a talk with him, but she was grateful for his consideration.

After all the people left, the two remaining embraced each other in silence in the empty hallway. Then when they were alone, she didn't know what to say. Grace glanced at Arthur, who looked down affectionately at her.

Then, over Arthur's black mask, the blue and red odd eye bent gently. It seemed to reassure her that she could speak slowly because he could wait forever. Grace was encouraged by the loving and considerate gaze and carefully began speaking.

"Have you been waiting here for a long time?"

"Well, I haven't been waiting for a long time. I went to put Leon in a separate room and came back."

"...I see. I thought the Duke was in the office."

"I was going to do that, but when I tried to return to my office, I couldn't go because I kept thinking about your condition."

"...Ah..."

"However, looking at my wife's face now, I'm glad to see you. You don't look so happy. What did you talk about with Sally?"

Arthur looked down at Grace with a perturbed look and stroked her pale cheeks. Grace overlapped her hands with his sweet and big hands and stared at him. Grace, who had been staring at his face for a while after that, spoke with difficulty.
