“Come on.”

 

Pretend to be happy. Pretend to be happy. I approached him as if I had nothing to hesitate about and held him in his arms.

 

The familiar scent of musk tickled the tip of my nose and mercilessly stimulated the already vivid sense of reality.

 

Likewise, the muscled arm hugged me tightly and lifted me up once. He then put me down.

 

“I think you’ve gained some weight, Duchess. Being newlyweds must be good.”

 

My brother’s deep blue eyes, as he jokingly added, sparkled with pure welcome and joy, and there was no trace of the expected dark anger.

 

Looking back at Izek, he had a smiling face that showed humility and courtesy itself.

 

Rarely, I felt my spine stiffen with more tension than ever when he wore a perfect mask.

 

Wow, I can’t believe I’m like this already.…. Let’s just get used to it for now. There’s no other way than that in the first place.

 

“Are you making fun of me, your sister, who you haven’t seen in a while?”

 

“Ah, my mistake. You’re angry because I teased your husband.”

 

“It’s not like that”.

 

As I pretended to flutter my eyes in a coy manner, a low smile burst out among the cardinals who followed him.

 

They were indeed familiar people and familiar reactions.

 

“I’m glad you look so happy, Lady Rudbeckia”.

 

“Long time no see, Secretary Lissario.”

 

After responding cheerfully to the cardinals who greeted me happily, I turned to Izek, who was silently watching.

 

Haa, why did he look so good today?

 

As soon as I tried to calm my pounding heart, he opened his mouth first.

 

“I almost didn’t recognize you.”

 

Oh, really?

 

It’s not that! If you just say I looked pretty, would it hurt?

 

How can you be so mean all the time?

 

“You’re so pretty that I couldn’t even recognize you.”

 

“Is it a compliment?”

 

“Of course it’s a compliment.”

 

When I smiled with sarcasm, my mean husband narrowed his eyes suspiciously for a moment. He soon smiled, held my hand, and kissed the back of my hand.

 

Short and light, respectfully like a knight.

 

“It’s an honour, princess.”

 

Look at him. Is that what you’re going to say at the royal banquet hall?

 

I don’t know how my brother will react when he hears it.

 

“Thank you for bringing them safely.”

 

“Oh, if anyone hears you, they’ll think I’m a prisoner of war and my brother-in-law saved me.”

 

“I don’t see you as a prisoner.”

 

“Thank you for that. The same goes for the brother-in-law.”
