How to Get My Husband on My Side

—

I smiled softly and followed the Archbishop to a walkway near the vineyard yard where the auction was going on. Until not long ago, I thought I should keep my distance from the temple as much as possible, but now I felt it would be better to keep a proper relationship and observe it.

And we don’t know what’s going to happen in the future if I can’t figure out who Cesare’s spies are.

Cesare was no less predictable than Izek. Even if things go my way, even if I fight Izek to make it difficult to cancel the deal, even if Ellenia’s assassination will be postponed, even if the day when Izek fully trusts me comes…

The opponent shouldn’t ever lower their guard around Cesare.

He might just do something crazy as soon as one turns their head.

“Cardinal Valentino is going to visit the match soon.”

He kept bringing up topics I wanted to forget as much as possible.

Haa, please don’t come here to make trouble.

“I was actually expecting you to stop by the temple as soon as you came to Elendale.”

“Oh…”

“Of course, I understand that the conditions have not been good. You weren’t feeling well… and you went through a lot of trouble. I heard,” The archbishop, who added leisurely, looked back at me with a gentle smile. It seems that he had no intention of going into the main topic.

“I was unsatisfied. You’re not someone who should be treated so lightly here. Sir Izek  is also an important person, but I couldn’t help being angry.”

It sounded like a light insult. But why did I feel like he was testing me?

I smiled brightly at his kind smile. “I’ve never been treated lightly. Everyone is very kind to me. Lord Izek is especially sweet to me.”

The archbishop raised one eyebrow slightly, but immediately smiled as if he knew it would happen.

“You are the angel of Sistina. I feel humble at your unparalleled generosity.”

“Don’t say that. I appreciate your concern.”

“No matter how cold-hearted he is, it is natural that he would melt in the presence of Sistina’s angel, the embodiment of nobility. It’s a pleasure to see a special bond between you two. It’s just… “

The angel of Sistina or whatever was just a name given by my father’s government.

I tilted my head trying to maintain a smile.
