This Life, I Will Save The Duke (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 89

From the moment the carriage door opened, everything in Ariel’s consciousness flowed slowly. Lemon stepping down, and then Kaius slowly descending behind him. Even the moment Lemon draped a coat over his shoulders. His appearance, seen after several days, was even more intimidating because his face was not visible due to the backlight.

Ariel swallowed dryly and calmed her slightly trembling hand by clutching the hem of her skirt.

Fortunately.

That was the first thought that came to her. Even on the day before he left, things were not good because of Ludvian, and if even now things had gone slightly wrong? Hiding her anxiety behind, Ariel took one step closer to him. The corners of her lips, which she tried to pull up into a smile, trembled faintly. Since he had returned, it was time to play the role of an affectionate duchess, but due to the freedom of the past few days, her tension had relaxed, making it not easy.

“You’ve returned.”

She quickly uttered the greeting to hide what might have been an unnatural expression on her face. Although his expression was not visible, Ariel could easily imagine it. He must be looking at her coldly and mercilessly.

The moment she tried to approach him a bit more, he first stepped out of the carriage’s shadow. After briefly looking at her face, his gaze turned to the place where Ludvian had just left. Ariel, swallowing a scream, also directed her gaze there, but fortunately, nothing was visible.

“Kaius, did you just arrive? Then why did you come here instead of going to the mansion?”

When his gaze did not move, Ariel, approaching a bit closer, gently grasped the sleeve of his coat. Only then did Kaius’s gaze shift to her. It was the eyes she had expected. Strangely, one side of her chest stung.

“…What are you doing here at this late hour?”

As if he hadn’t heard her question, he put his own question first. At his question, Ariel realized that escaping this place was the priority.

“Let’s talk while we go. I have things to tell you, and things I want to ask as well.”

Ariel pulled him back toward the carriage from which Kaius had descended. His eyes, narrowed thinly as he looked at such a wife, briefly scanned the place where Ludvian had disappeared again. Around the time his carriage entered Mopa Street, the coachman informed that there was the ducal family’s carriage in front of Tiana. The moment he poked his head out, he saw his wife exiting that place together with Ludvian.

Kaius’s gaze turned back to his wife’s face, which was firmly holding onto him. Her trying to meet his eyes, boldly grabbing his arm, and pulling him toward the carriage created an illusion as if she had been waiting for him all along.

Just what are you.
