My Mysterious Husband

Our Secrets That Needs to Hide

Chapter Forty-Three:

Three days later...

It's been three days ever since I met the lady in the mountain, I don't know what I should call her since she told me that she is not a Nymph. Even though I asked her what she is, she never told me who she is. She just answered me that if I wanted to know who she really is, then I have to sacrifice my own life.

Sacrifice my own life after telling me she likes me? Who she really is? I badly wanted to know but since that I have some duties to fulfill it takes me three days before I went back. And even though I already came back, I couldn't just go and leave without even reporting to our king.

Since I'm a Duke of the North Kingdom and one of King's Knight Soldier I have the obligation to report to him after taking care of the war against the Manu Clan. It took me half of my day before I finally release to my duty and I quickly run in into the mountains. Hoping to see her even though it took me so long before I came back.

I run as fast as I can into the mountains but because it was already afternoon, I'm not sure if I could still see her. Still, I am hoping to see her once again, I look around as soon as I came into the deep but I cannot see the falls that I usually see. I panic for a reason I don't know but then I heard a familiar voice coming from a tree.

"Miss me?" she said.

I hurriedly look up only to find her sitting on a branch of a tree with ease. "Wh-what are you doing there?"

"Waiting for you." She straightly answered that makes my heart beats fast.

She really caught me off guard whenever I ask her and it made me speechless for a while. "Ahm," I said as I swallow to clear my throat.

"What? Speechless again?" she said and sighed. "Anyway, what took you so long? You let me wait for three days and a half day. So, I thought you forgot about me, but I still wait." She added and shrugs off.

"Yo-you wait?"

"Yes."

"But we're not in the place where we meet."

"Yes."

"Why?"

"She needs to take care of something so she's gone now and because she isn't here, I'm the one in charge of taking care of this place." She answered.

That explained why she's still here and I am happy to see her. "I'm glad to see you again." I honestly replied as I smile sincerely.

She smiles at me before she jumps down at the tree with ease. "What took you so long to be here?"

"Ha?" I was surprised from her sudden question.

"What? Maybe you have a serious reason why you've been gone for so long?"
