Foreigner Of Time [Book II]

68

Pulling the horse's headstall, Gojo steered the horse carriage around. 

He could understand his master's feelings. 

The Master and the Madam were an ideal couple, a match made in heaven...

The Master was also at the age of hot-bloodedness, and they all say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. 

How could I not understand something as simple as that?  

Additionally, based on Gojo's observations, he was sure that Lisa was an extremely honest and clean person. 

It's as if there just wasn't a muscle for 'promiscuity' in his head...

Sometimes, Gojo had even thought that his master had the silver, the status, and a fine appearance too... 

Even though he was matrilocally married, wasn't keeping another one outside with his present conditions still a simple thing to do?

Additionally, Lisa went on trips often. 

Staying in a red-light district for the night or getting to know some good-looking ones in the cities he always frequented would be easy for him too, right?

After all, someone as respectable as the Madam couldn't possibly brave through wind and rain with the Master all the time. 

How could a man of his age live like a monk?

But through Gojo's observations, he was certain that Lisa had absolutely not kept another before, or any old flames... 

Let alone visit amorous sites.

Gojo had many friends on the road... 

He had heard that the matrilocal son-in-law of the Stark was a very absurd person; apparently, he wanted to buy all of the brothels in Winterfell.

At that time, Gojo believed it too. 

He had even used it as conversation material with his friends in private. 

However, when he really started to serve by Lisa's side, he finally learned what they meant by 'rumours are more fearsome than tigers'.  

In this world... there weren't any couples who were more loving than the Master and the Madam.

Even Gojo couldn't really describe the feeling between Lisa and Jennie. 

It was a sort of, hm... In any case, it was a different way from all of the married couples that Gojo had seen before.

If he had to describe it in detail... 

Be it couples who treat each other courteously like guests or couples who treat each other with love and respect, outsiders could still tell in one look who was the superior one in the relationship. 

Who's word counted, who was the true head of the family; that was always undeniably clear.

No matter how well the male head of the family treated his wife, and no matter how considerate he was to her; it still felt very clear that he stood above her. 

However, this rule of 'superiority and inferiority' seemed to have failed when it was placed on this couple.  

No matter how sharp Gojo's eyes were, he couldn't actually tell who was the true head of the family between Lisa and Jennie. 

This feeling was truly too curious for Gojo ...

It was only when he became more familiar with Lisa that he finally understood where this peculiarity came from.
