“Secondly, let’s raise our glasses for our lady.”
In response to Connie’s solemn tone, people nodded their heads in agreement, turning their attention to Brody.
Caught off guard by the sudden attention, Brody had to resist the rising intoxication to avoid hiccupping.
“The beginning of everything, obtaining the most valuable, and giving an unimaginable future.”
People’s eyes began to shimmer, swaying in the candlelight.
Brody felt breathless and struggled to breathe, sensing something peculiar.
‘Wait, what’s happening? This feels strange again. Is it the alcohol? No, it’s the same feeling I had earlier…’
Her heart began to beat rapidly.
“Cheers for our Lady, expressing gratitude for everything she has done.”
“Thank you!”
“Cheers!”
“Wow, cheers!”
“Thank you so much!”
Unable to resist the cascade of greetings from the people, Brody, unable to endure, downed her second glass in one shot.
And that’s why Brody found herself sobbing at the entrance of the banquet hall now.
“N-now, I’m not thaaat drunk. How much alcohol did I drink…”
“I don’t know what ‘Goranji’ means, but please accept our lady.”
As the lively Connie, evidently warmed by the alcohol, almost lifted Brody, she handed her over to Aidan.
Aidan was utterly bewildered.
It was the first time she witnessed someone loudly making a fuss while being intoxicated right in front of her.
Moreover, she was being put in Aidan’s arms as if throwing away the unofficial Duchess.
But most surprising of all was Brody, who had completely drowned in the alcohol.
Connie inquired, “Oh, by the way, what’s happening here, my lord?”
Judging by her tone, she seemed to have consumed quite a bit.
“Do you know there’s quite a party going on in that direction?”
Connie peered in the direction of the building where the men were gathered, then turned her head back towards Aidan.
Seeing the lively atmosphere, it was evident that the men’s banquet was also in full swing.
Aidan did not respond but tried to lift the sobbing Brody and turn away.
However, Connie’s teasing voice caught Aidan’s steps.
“No! Don’t tell me, my lord, did you come here to monitor?!”
The word ‘monitor’ had a peculiar accent. Moreover, with her squinted eyes… She was undoubtedly teasing Aidan.
“…”
Aidan couldn’t say anything.
Firstly, the act of being teased by someone was very unfamiliar to her.
Secondly, the reason she couldn’t say anything was that she couldn’t deny Connie’s words.
Although the purpose was not precisely ‘monitoring’ but rather ‘escorting.’
When Brody was dragged into the darkness, and suddenly, the sound of exploding air ‘plop!’ occurred, Aidan barely resisted the temptation to break the door and enter.
However, whether it’s monitoring or escorting, it doesn’t seem to be a favorable appearance for the Duke to chase after his wife’s backside. But what Aidan was worried about wasn’t getting labeled as ‘baby’ or ‘public wife.’ Instead… it was because Brody would probably dislike it if she found out.
So, after a series of incidents, Aidan eventually expressed her thoughts with these words.
“Don’t mention that I was here.”
“Hehehehe.”
Her cautious response was immediately drowned out by Connie’s cheerful laughter.
Waving her hands, Connie spoke, “Ah, my lord, indeed. You’re right. I just said it on a whim. I really miss the lady, hahaha.”
“…”
Aidan lost her words.
How could this Connie, who seemed quite ordinary with no outstanding features, dare to make such bold remarks to the fearsome Duke?
Aidan’s face gradually stiffened with embarrassment, and unintentionally, she looked quite intimidating.
Considering she already had a headache, it made her appear even more terrifying.
If the person in front of her wasn’t the Duke but someone else, she might have hit the person next to her fiercely.
Connie, who had been laughing heartily just a moment ago, suddenly stopped laughing.
It was all because she looked at Aidan’s face.
Stopping her laughter abruptly, she seemed to have swallowed her breath incorrectly, and now, she began to hiccup.
Hiccup. Hic, hiccup. Aidan, perplexed by Connie’s sudden change of behavior, finally felt a sense of ease.
‘Yeah, this is the usual reaction.’
With a quick wipe of her mouth, Connie glanced at Aidan.
“Oh, I’m getting drunk. I’m sorry, Your Grace. I guess I felt so comfortable with you without realizing it, laughing and chatting with the lady just now.”
Connie squinted.
But her actions seemed more like an attempt to cover up a mistake than a sign of terror.
Aidan realized something from Connie’s words.
‘Oh, I see. It’s because Brody is with me.’
Aidan thought that being with Brody led to a different kind of relationship than what she had experienced before.
But now, it seemed that it wasn’t just limited to her relationship with Brody.
People she met in the South, like those from Latoria and Adonia, and the people from the North, including Teddy.
Was it because her headache disappeared or because she didn’t frown anymore?
Whether Aidan changed first or they reacted differently, one thing was certain.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
