Keeping Three Husband In Another Life

#4 - Where Am I (4)

"He seems thinner than the last time I see him"

"The last time you were here is two weeks ago... before all of this happen"

"I have been busy"

Clang!!!

A distinctive sound of a solid plate knocked against a hard surface startled me from my deep sleep, "a quarrel this early in the morning?" I thought when I see archduke Julius lose his self-control in front of the man I have never seen before. 

"Julius, enough!"

The man screamed when Julius try to smash another plate down the floor, he tries to catch Julius as he walks on a pile of shards that shatter under Julius' feet.

"You will hurt yourself"

He shouts once again, hoping that archduke Julius will not do anything that would lead him to hurt himself. Archduke Julius dodges the open hand of that man, making him step a couple of feet back and drench his feet with fresh blood of his own. The man froze when he see red soil spread across the carpet, the man turn pale when he see his action lead to an opposite effect. just like oil that pours a burning log, Archduke Julius eyes were burning with hatred

"It is all your fault, you always take their side!"

"..."

The man closes his lips tightly, taking all the blame without batting an eye from the burning flame within archduke Julius' eyes. I don't know what happens, but that strange man is a rather unique individual.

"I know one of them did this to my son―  it is a miracle enough that he's still alive"

"The case is still under investigation, don't get blind by your own hatred"

"― You still side with them even though I'm your first husband"

"They are also my husband, why can't you get along with them?"

"After all they did to me!?"

"They have done nothing wrong to you or to our son, it's all in your mind"

"― ...!?"

I can hear my own veins snapping inside my head, that man literally called archduke Julius, my own father in this world an 'insane' person? If I have my original body, I'll walk down to him and gave him a knack on his head.

"Let's sit first okay?"

Plak!

"I shouldn't have accepted your hand in marriage ten years ago"

Archduke Julius slaps that man on the face, leaving a red imprint of how hurt he was hearing that man's word. I'm silently observing the situation with so many questions in my head. 

"... Dada"

He turns his head to me when I call for him. I can see the pain on his face as the tears start to gush heavily from that beautiful red ruby iris. My heart is in agony seeing how unhappy he is right now and I too cry along with him.

"Did I startle you? I'm sorry my love"

He runs to me and hugs me in his arm. I'm powerless to heal the wound on his heart, therefore the both of us cry in each other embrace. 

"I'll be back again after you calm yourself"

"What the fuck is he talking about, he is like this because of you, you piece of shit!" 

I took a peek through Archduke Julius' shoulder to see that man. He has golden tan skin and crimson hair, a tall muscular build with quite a handsome face. His face doesn't show much emotion, just a wrinkle on his brow as he looks the both of us, dense is not the right word I use to describe this person, he is the type that would make you lose your mind to how impassive he is.
