“What did you do today?”
At dinner, Gaizel’s cold voice echoed, breaking the long silence.
Nowadays, he started returning home a little sooner, so they had the opportunity to have dinner together.
“I’ve been studying the language and history of Isiris. Then, starting from the afternoon, I learned dance.”
“My kingdom consists of many nations. If you’re going to be the empress of this kingdom, that’s only expected of you.”—
[“—even though she hasn’t become too accustomed to her surroundings yet, she already has so much to do… what a dutiful wife… she’s pushing herself… as I thought, isn’t her schedule too tight? If that Randi guy keeps doing things his way, then Tistye might collapse!”]
“Fufu…” Tistye smiled, earning her a glance from Gaizel. “Hmph.” That was the only thing he said.
From the servants’ point of view, the intimating emperor was cornering his pitiful wife. They didn’t know of the totally different reality.
Eventually, Tistye stopped eating and Gaizel put his fork down.
The attending servant walked up to gather the plates—it was then,
“—you.”
Gaizel’s sharp voice flew at the direction beside Tistye—to Lizzy.
Lizzy widened her eyes, recalling the incident during the daytime.
Huh!? I said nothing, though…
The surprised Lizzy was already trembling. Tistye exhaled.
“Get lost, now.”
“…”
“Do I have to repeat myself? Get lost.”
“L, Lord Gaizel, she did nothing—”
“—shut up. I told her to get lost.”
The one who abruptly interrupted was none other than Tistye, but Gaizel’s reply was cold.
Lizzy’s face was utterly pale, the moment Tistye said her words, she rushed outside the room.
“Lord Gaizel, why go to such an extent—”
When Tistye tried to argue, the voice of Gaizel’s heart rushed towards her.
[“—the maid just now… her name’s Lizzy, right? Her complexion looks bad… probably because of a fever. Recently, there has been severe case of illness in the town. I hope it doesn’t become serious…”]
“What? Are you going against my words?”
“No, never mind…”
She lowered herself into her chair again. Recalling Lizzy’s situation earlier… how compassionate of him.
I didn’t notice it at all, even though she was close to me…
Maybe Lizzy fumbled with the comb due to her deteriorating physical condition. Even though Tistye grasped her hand, she didn’t notice anything amiss with the maid…
Despite that, Gaizel realized at first glance that her complexion was strange…
Still, his choice of words… but, overall, he’s still much better than me…
Tistye clasped her hands, as if she had decided to do something.
Tistye headed to the servant’s dormitory.
