Rachel’s hands, taking Louisa’s coat, were light. Despite the evening, she seemed excited, probably because something good had happened.
Louisa smiled slightly and said, “You look happy today.”
Rachel, surprised, whispered in her ear, “Today, the master is also home. The two of you will dine together, so Mrs. Johnson has put in a little extra effort!”
That was it. Louisa smiled faintly.
“Tell Mrs. Johnson I appreciate her effort.”
“Of course, ma’am! I’ll go tell her to start serving the food.”
Rachel trotted off towards the kitchen with her characteristic light steps.
After changing into a simple indoor dress, Louisa went downstairs and saw Edward already waiting.
“Did you wait long? I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine. Don’t worry about it.”
Louisa took her seat opposite Edward.
“You came home early today.”
“I’ve been busy for a while. The atmosphere was tense, so I let everyone go home early.”
Food was served just as she sat down, filling the room with delicious aromas.
Edward, after adjusting his cutlery, finally picked up his salad fork contentedly.
He began to serve himself a generous helping of salad.
“I hear you went to the Valiant Palace. Is the conference starting again from today?”
“Yes. I mentioned before that the summer recess is ending soon… It seems you were too busy to remember.”
“Ah… Did I?”
Edward quietly ate his salad, seemingly trying to recall. After a brief silence, Louisa cautiously observed him and said, “So, there will be meetings frequently for a while.”
“Listen, there’s something I’ve been wanting to ask you. Do you plan to pursue a high government position later?”
Louisa forced a smile and replied, “I haven’t thought that far yet. Is there a problem?”
“Why else would you keep going to such a place?”
Predictably.
Louisa felt disheartened.
Her husband had always disapproved of her role as a parliamentarian. Although she had anticipated his sensitive reaction due to the lab issue, facing it head-on still left her at a loss.
How should she handle this situation that seems to offer no resolution?
Edward continued sarcastically, “It’s a place full of people hell-bent on denigrating others. They must have been eagerly gossiping about the lab explosion. Why do you insist on going there to hear things you shouldn’t have to?”
“I’ve told you, it’s like you going to the company; I go to the palace. It’s my job.”
“A job? To go out of your way to listen to nonsense?”
“It’s not that—”
It’s not about listening to nonsense; it’s about the things I want to achieve, the things I need to do.
But Louisa couldn’t continue her thought aloud.
All the words she had repeated countless times to persuade him flooded her mind.
How much emotion had they exhausted in the process?
She envisioned the familiar, inevitable conclusion. The panorama of familiar scenes made her feel suffocated.
Louisa pressed her chest and took a deep breath.
“You think doing that makes them see you in a better light? No way. I know their nature better than anyone.”
“I’ve told you, I don’t go there for that.”
“Then why do you go?”
He asked incredulously.
Indeed, her position as a parliamentarian, almost honorary, wasn’t even a proper source of income.
Yet she had taken it seriously, feeling a sense of duty. As she had resolved and told him many times.
“I go because I hope the world will change a little. I’ve been telling you. A parliamentarian’s job is to do that.”
Edward furrowed his eyebrows, seemingly tired of the unending debate.
“…Hoping the world will change.”
He let out a deep sigh.
“Standing out alone like that, you’re bound to get hit. If such things were effective, every noble would attend diligently like you. But do you know why they don’t?”
He spoke each word clearly, as if to make sure Louisa understood.
“Because there’s no need to engage in meaningless tasks.”
“If it were truly meaningless, such a position would have disappeared long ago, Edward.”
Not backing down, Louisa was about to retort when Edward raised his eyebrows, seemingly preparing to reprimand her. However, he soon sighed and continued in a low voice.
“Instead of that, why don’t you join some social gatherings? I heard that Mrs. Brydes, whom you’re close with, organizes something like a reading club with a few others. You should join them too. It might be fun.”
“Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll consider the reading club. But that doesn’t mean I’m quitting my parliamentary position.”
“Louisa!”
Finally unable to hold back, he raised his voice.

“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?”
