I Thought You Were A Time-Limited Husband (Novel)

Chapter 7

[‘The Old Madam takes care of the Duke with her utmost sincerity and says that you might regain your consciousness if you have a wife that takes care of you…. She unilaterally forced your marriage.’

‘Hah!’]

Kaillus let out a cold sneer in disbelief.

It sounds like a decision made in consideration of him at first glance, but she was trying to have her hands and feet on him in reality. Perhaps, it was even to end the life of her stepson who was lying dead.

The Duchess will always be able to approach her husband, the Duke, without questions. What’s more, he was like being imprisoned under his wife’s hands since he was unconscious. Madam Quillian was indeed a woman who had a good head when it came to killing him.

[‘When did I get married?’

‘It hasn’t been long. It has been only two days since Little Madam came to the Duke’s house.’

‘Two days…. I’m glad I regained consciousness before it’s too late.’]

He would have died at the Duchess’ hands if a little more time had passed – the Duchess who came to become Madam Quillian’s limb.

Kaillus called the butler after thinking for a moment.

[‘Adolph.’

‘Yes, Duke.’

‘Keep it a secret for the time being that I am conscious’

‘Yes?’]

Kaillus said calmly to the butler who didn’t quite understand the situation.

[‘The Duke is now in the hands of Madam Quillian. It must never be revealed that I have regained consciousness until I have reclaimed the vassals. Do you understand?’]

Judging by the time he woke up now, she must have had his limbs cut severed. First, he had to recover his disbanded knights and the vassals.

[‘I understand.’

‘And tell me everything you know about that woman – the woman who became the Duchess.’

‘Yes, Your Excellency.’]

So Kaillus heard from the butler about the woman who became his wife.

Then, with the dawning sky, he hurried back to his room.

“Haa, this is frustrating.”

Kaillus sighed heavily and shook his head.

He then looked around his room enveloped with darkness. His dark room was filled with anger, as if his reality had been taken hold of Madam Quillian.

But now is the time to take a step back first. He would become the scarecrow of the Duke’s family that had fallen to Madam Quillian’s hands if he moved too rashly.

“I have to find my people again.”

His aide Thesiri, and Captain David of his Black Lion Knights. He had to secretly find those two and raise the Knight Order again.

He will pull out his sword after he got what was rightfully his, and he will completely kill Madam Quillian this time. Not only that woman, but everyone who had ties to her would be killed. No one is an exception….

Kaillus paused as he continued his thoughts. Because he immediately remembered the conversation he had with the butler.

[‘The one who came in as the Duchess was Count Podoori’s eldest daughter, Alice Podoori.’
