Strategic Marriage with the Mad Villain (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 93

Asenri, struck by the rebuke, was left utterly speechless.

This sort of thing had happened more than once or twice.

It was a waste of time listening to every detail about such trivial matters—especially since it was Asenri himself who had previously instructed them to stay out of the way to prevent these incidents from becoming major issues, leaving him even less room to argue.

‘They say the Grand Duke dotes terribly on his wife… This has become quite a headache.’
