How To Get My Husband On My Side

Chapter 56

"Maybe she didn't run away from home, but went out with a purpose? With a lover she had for a long time."

"It's obvious just from the rumors. She's so crazy about men."

"I get annoyed every time I hear that rustic southern accent. Why does it sound so barbaric?"

Look at these guys. I expected it, but I'm a little bit overwhelmed.

Although Freya's poisoning attempt seemed to have been buried to some extent thanks to my runaway disturbance, I knew that there was still public opinion about me and my family.

I won't be able to pry or reveal anything openly.

It had become a matter of joining the Omerta family as well as the temple and the Vatican.

No matter what the real intentions behind Izek's banquet were, my position was clearly better compared to before, and all they were covering for me. It was as good as a public announcement.

Therefore, a slip of the tongue could lead to the Omerta family being involved- which wouldn't be tolerated.

But they could talk behind my back as much as they wanted. My runaway could also be made into a scandal in some way.

It wasn't that I didn't expect that there would be such public opinion, but I still wanted to give them a hard time.

"I think......Gasp!"

One of the ladies, who had been huddling and whispering, gasped as I approached with bated breath and pulled back the curtain.

The other two ladies also had a look of astonishment. All three of them were chatting with me earlier. Look at those aghast faces.

"M-My, My Lady, we're......."

"...Erkl!"

"M-My..."

They looked blankly at me, shedding crocodile tears.

"I, I, I..."

"Woo-"

"Really, really, I really did nothing, un, I didn't think I was that bad.."

As I burst into tears, covering my face with my hands, they clung to each other in a hurry, not knowing what to do.

"My-My Lady, I'm sorry, we just didn't think about it, so we really didn't...."

"Unnn, I really thought you all liked me...."

"I-It's not how you think... We'll stop being drunk on cocktails and making stupid mistakes....."

"Ah, ah, everyone's been saying that you've hurt Lady Furiana.... How could you.. I-I really didn't do anything. I really liked you... I love that you came here......."

"I'm sorry, my lady. I'm sorry, we made a stupid, stupid slip of the tongue.... Don't get hurt, I didn't mean it."

What do you mean you don't mean it?

One of the young girls, who was whispering and sobbing, suddenly started hiccuping.

"Hic, I'm sorry, my lady. I won't talk behind your back again. Please forgive me. I just find what other people are saying interesting."

"Me too, I'm so sorry. I can't regret it enough."

"I'm sorry to say such a terrible thing, please forget it."

They were so young. No matter what, children who followed me to ask for forgiveness with tears in their eyes would look cute at that moment.

These moments were short-lived, the kind I'd forget once I turned around.
