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

Chapter 13

Yes, that was the problem.

There is a condition in order for one to be a priest, but before that… Alice had married. Because of Kaillus’ s condition, they naturally couldn’t spend their night, but she can’t say that they are legally still virgins. However… it is still ambiguous whether she is eligible to become a priest or not.

“I will know for sure if I go there in person and ask.”

She wanted to personally go to the temple and find out the procedure to enlist as a new priest, but the problem is it won’t be easy for her to go out. She will need Madam Quillian’s permission before she can leave the Duke’s house.

Even now, she was checking even the smallest things about her through Maris, so it was impossible for her to go out freely. She was thinking that Madam Quillian had been liking her lately, but she’s sure she was upset today because of what happened with Young Lady Meltain today.

“Ah, Meltain Sienna… I wish she could just leave me alone….”

I mean, I don’t think that’s even possible. It seems that Young Lady Meltain was using her to disturb Madam Quillian’s heart no matter how much she thought about it. Of course, Madam Quillian will take revenge on her.

But even so, I can’t stick with Young Lady Meltain. This is just….

“It looks like this “shrimp” will explode in the back of the whale’s fight.”

How can I go to the temple….

She heard a knock on the door just when she was thinking about it.

“Come in.”

Alice took a deep breath after that and got up from the sofa. Even if Young Lady Meltain grabbed her by the ankle today, she still had work to do today. But the person who opened the door and entered was an unexpected person.

“Huh? Why were you the one who came instead of the butler?”

Now wasn’t the time to give Kaillus his medicine but to attend to him. The butler would usually share the work with her on his upper body and him on his lower body, so the butler would bring water and cloth instead of Maris. However, the person standing with the silver basin and cloth was none other than Helkin.

Alice tilted her head as she looked at Helkin.

“Ah, the butler has a lot of work to do for the guests now. I don’t have much to do today, so I came to replace the butler.”

“… Not the other servants, but you, Doctor?”

The butler and Helkin weren’t very close, but he asked Helkin to do this…?

When Alice gave him a puzzled look, Helkin blinked his eyes and told her, “About that, not only the butler was busy but the other servants of the Duke’s family as well, to welcome the other guests. That’s why, I had no choice but to… come here.”

“I see.”

“Yes, haha…. But I don’t know how I can exactly help you, so what do you want me to help you with?”

“Oh, you can wipe the Duke’s body.”

“Oh, wipe his body… pardon?!”

Helkin’s eyes widened and alternately looked between Alice and the Duke.

“What is that?! Why are you so surprised about that? This was what the other servants have been doing until now.”

“Of course, it is. Haha. Well, I’ve never done anything like this myself… so I was a little bit confused. Haha.” Helkin laughed awkwardly.
