I was busy all week preparing for my picnic with Yezar. The butler praised my growing skills, but along with that, the amount of work he brought me was increasing.
He said what I was handling was only a portion of Yezar’s work. Looking at the huge mountain of documents in front of me, I tried to gauge just how much work Yezar was responsible for and felt a bit overwhelmed.
After finishing my tasks, I examined the letters that had arrived for me. One was from the Marchioness of Stemun, and the other was from Wizlet.
The Marchioness of Stemun’s letter mainly discussed picking a date to meet for a spring outing now that the weather was getting warmer. Reading the neatly written letter, a smile naturally lingered on my lips.
“I’ve read the Marchioness of Stemun’s letter, but why is Wizlet sending a letter again?”
Recalling the letters Wizlet had sent recently, I thought it would be full of trivial content as usual. Is he particularly bored these days?
But to my surprise, the content of the letter was different from usual.
— Julieta! Are you doing well? According to the rumors I hear, Yezar Perhaem is tormenting you every night. No matter how newly married you are, don’t you think it’s best to take it easy? This older brother can’t help but hang his head at the embarrassing rumors.
“What is this! Teasing me through a letter?”
I haven’t seen him for a while, and he’s pulling pranks on me like this. How much fun must he have had while sending this letter?
Then I frowned at the postscript Wizlet had left.
— P.S. Should I gift Yezar Perhaem something good for his stamina?
He’s really excited. Excited indeed. I had a rough idea of why such rumors had spread, but I didn’t expect them to reach Wizlet’s ears. Still, it’s better to be seen as a passionate newlywed couple rather than having a poor relationship, but…
“Sigh.”
I was afraid that the rumors about Yezar would change from him being gay to being a man of great stamina.
‘I should tell Wizlet to visit the ducal residence sometime. Wizlet is quick to hear rumors. It will be convenient to check if I’m doing well as the duchess.’
I gritted my teeth.
‘And when we meet, I’ll make sure to give him a good smack on the back.’
I could vividly imagine that annoying face of his, giggling as he anticipated my reaction while writing the letter.
I tossed Wizlet’s letter to the side and gulped down some cool water. Drinking the water, I felt refreshed.
Just as I was about to start thinking about what to wear tomorrow, the maids suddenly burst through the door and entered in a line.
“Madam! I heard you’re going out with His Grace tomorrow?”
“Why didn’t you tell us in advance!”
“That’s right, what do you think we maids are here for to take care of your appearance!”
Not only May, Brinnie, and Chelsea who always stayed by my side, but also familiar faces I often saw in the ducal residence’s corridors were there. At the very back, Ember was giving orders to the girls with a suspicious smile.
“Now, let’s pick the most perfect dress, shoes, and accessories for tomorrow’s outing.”
“Yes, Head Maid!”
“Leave it to us!”
Just watching them made me feel a burning sensation. I was involuntarily overwhelmed by their momentum.
‘They’re not some military staff officers! Why is Ember looking at me with such a sinister gaze!’
I thought she had taken a liking to me after our conversation that day. Seeing the maids rushing at me like this, I felt like a herbivore about to be devoured by a predator.
I was grabbed by both arms and dragged along by them. With an ominous feeling, I quickly opened my mouth.
“You don’t have to put that much effort…”
The response that came back was loud and strong.
“What are you saying! Not putting in effort!”
“If not on a day like this, when else would we put in effort!”
‘Girls, your voices are too loud. My ears hurt.’
It didn’t seem like my words would reach the ears of the overly excited maids even if I said that.
“Madam, isn’t this the first time you’re going out with His Grace since entering the ducal residence?”
Come to think of it, apart from when he came to pick me up at the Marquis of Stemun’s residence and we came to the ducal residence together, we had never gone out together. The maids probably thought that even before marriage, I had happily spent time with him outside, but that wasn’t the case.
It was an outing that was practically the first.
‘Outing, outing… No, that’s not it. There was a specific word for this. A word that perfectly fits newlyweds…’
“Well, it’s also like a long-awaited date.”
After saying it out loud, my body felt slightly ticklish. A date, huh. Saying it like this, I could understand why the maids rushed over.
“What are you going to do there?”
“We were just planning to watch a play, take a stroll by the lake, and eat a packed lunch together…”
“Kyaa!”
The maids were more excited than me about my own date, whispering and delighting among themselves. They looked exactly like people getting thrilled over a love story.
“Madam, we’ll make sure you look more beautiful than anyone else at that time!”
“We’ll showcase our skills so that His Grace falls for you once more. You have to tell us how the date went after you get back, okay?”
When they were actively stepping up like this as if it were their own matter, I felt like I had to play along with their tune.
“Okay. I’ll tell you. So, you have to do your best to make His Grace fall for me again?”
“Yes! Madam!”
Their resounding answer made me smile automatically. I obediently let them grab me and willingly surrendered my body. They held up various colored dresses against me and discussed among themselves.
For some reason, I started feeling excited too.
[This is the timeline separator]Early in the morning, Yezar was diligently preparing a packed lunch. Unfortunately, the madam who was supposed to prepare it together became very gloomy and said to him,
‘I’m sorry, Yezar! It looks like the outing preparations will take longer, so I won’t be able to make the lunch with you.’
Anyway, he was making it because he wanted to. She didn’t need to feel that sorry. Her bright green eyes looked sunken with gloom. He couldn’t help but comfort her with various words.
There was still time. He told her they could make a lunch together next time, and she grabbed his hand, insisting that he must do that. Her hands were not soft, but rather rough, unlike the young ladies he knew.
But he liked that. The hands of a knight that held her efforts felt even warmer and softer to him.
He thought that skinship had noticeably increased and become more natural between them. She was smiling brightly at him, unaware of it.
Indeed, his wife was too dense and defenseless. At that moment, when he embraced her, he was afraid she might hear his pounding heartbeat.
Her body, smaller than he had thought, felt as cute as a hamster when he held her tightly. When she said he felt like a large dog to her, he was secretly delighted that they were on the same wavelength.
When he asked if she liked rainy days and she said no, revealing her own story, he found himself attentively listening to her.
Usually, she seemed like someone who didn’t know pain, always bright and cheerful, but now he knew that wasn’t the case. Whenever she occasionally opened up her heart, her face looked terribly lonely and sorrowful.
An endlessly lonely person. But a person who knew how to share endless love. Because she was that kind of person. He wanted to share his heart with her, whether it was comfort or solace or whatever it may be. Because she was someone who only gave and was clumsy at receiving.
Yezar began filling the empty lunchbox, thinking of the foods Julieta liked.
They often had meals together in the evening. So he could observe what she liked and disliked.
She wasn’t a picky eater, but everyone had their preferred foods. He decided on the menu one by one, taking into account the conversations he had with her, the foods she usually ate well during mealtimes, and the advice from the head chef.
‘It would be nice if she enjoys eating it.’
Imagining Julieta’s surprised look, asking if he really made it all by himself, and her mumbling delightfully as she brought the food to her mouth, Yezar smiled pleasantly.
He didn’t know how long the outing preparations would take, but it seemed he could finish packing the lunch before then.
‘Once I’m done packing, I’ll change clothes and go pick her up.’
The maids had taken Julieta to the dressing room for whatever preparations they were doing, and they strongly advised him not to come until they called for him.
‘Anyway, Julieta is beautiful whether she dresses up or not.’
From the very first moment he saw Julieta, he thought she was a truly beautiful person. Her cheeks were flushed, probably from drinking a few glasses at the pub, but her well-maintained hair clearly showed she was a noble lady.
Moreover, seeing her fair, flawless skin and beautiful face, he even worried if it was dangerous for her to be drinking alone in such a place.
Yezar, who had finished packing the lunch, changed his clothes and went to pick up Julieta. He thought that the outing preparations should be finished by now.
When he knocked on the door of the dressing room where Julieta was, the maids led him in with proud expressions.
As if telling him to see the skills they had showcased. And there, Yezar found Julieta, awkwardly smiling.
“I’m sorry for making you wait so long. The preparations took longer than I thought…”
Her face, bashfully fiddling with her hair, was even more beautiful than usual. Her eyes seemed to be sparkling with something applied, and the corners of her eyes were lifted more charmingly than usual.
Her already neat features stood out even more vividly to him, and her mumbling lips were unusually red.
The hairstyle, prettily tied in half, suited her well, and her red hair, which naturally drew the eye even on ordinary days, was as fresh and radiant as a newly bloomed rose.
Furthermore, the dress with a white base and light pink accents boldly exposed her snow-white neckline. If he wasn’t careful, it seemed like her cleavage might show.
“Your skin is too…”
Yezar turned his head, feeling his face involuntarily redden.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
