The Duke’s Daughter Is the Knight Captain’s (62) Young Wife

As soon as I finished breakfast, I made my way to the kitchen to tell Chris to cancel my cooking class in the afternoon. Perhaps my return home will be in the evening or so. So I decide to turn the cooking class in the afternoon tomorrow.

You should go home with your brother in order to go with him to the Knights in the first place. In addition to that, I think I can spend any day if I can see Master Wilhelm's Rin. I also thought about that and decided I couldn't do today's cooking class.

Then I go back to my room and worry about my clothes.

"Hmmm......"

I don't have a lot of clothes. Maybe it's not a very good thing as a Duke's Warrant lady, but I prefer functional clothing to gorgeous clothes. I don't really like garments that are decorated when they are flickered.

Besides, today is only a social tour. It wouldn't be a good idea to go in a less flashy outfit. That means you're not very flashy, and then you have to dress cute like Master Wilhelm likes you.

When that happens, you have me worried about lining up the clothes you have.

If this is just an outing, I don't care about clothes. The Knights know that I plan to be engaged to Master Wilhelm. That means you have to dress shamelessly as the fiancée of the Knights.

My brother just said, "Don't play games," but this would be like a fight for me.

"Carol."

"Yes."

Then, there was no knocking in my room, and my mother came in.

My mother is the greatest man in the Duke of Ambrose family. You don't have to knock and peek at my convenience. So this is how you can come in as a bystander.

I'm in underwear now, but my mother is same-sex, so it's no problem.

"Just because you're in the room doesn't mean you're dressed."

"Sorry, Mother."

"You were probably worried about your clothes, weren't you? It's what I used to wear, but I brought it to see what Carol looks like today."

What such a mother has in her right hand was a piece of water color.

Never a flashy decoration, but it has a silk gloss and at a glance you can tell it's a luxury item. Then you can taste the cleanliness in the shades. That would be exactly what you look like today.

My mother put it on me, please.

I have a button on my back, so it's hard to wear it alone.

"Yeah, Carol. You look great."

"Thank you, Mother. Are you sure? Such nice clothes."

"It's my out-of-date. I'll keep it up, Carol. I can't dress like this anymore."

My mother sighs like that, but I think she still looks good enough.

He's so young that I don't think he's my mother.

"Carol."

"Yes, Mother"

"... you're beautiful"

That's what my mother says to me as I look at my outfit together in appearance.

It's kind of embarrassing. Being seen younger than my age, I'm never said "pretty" even when they say "cute".

Besides, wearing such beautiful clothes makes me feel like I'm being worn.

"Mother..."

"It's true. Be confident, Carol."

"... but"

Seeing it in appearance, I really think about it a lot.

I'm - young.

I'm sure Master Wilhelm would prefer a more mature woman to a young woman like me. I'm too small and too thin to line up beside Master Wilhelm's successful body.

You can't possibly think that Master Wilhelm is beautiful or something like this.

"Carol, okay"

"... Yes"

"Love makes a woman beautiful. You must be exactly in love right now. When love turns into love, women become stronger. And when she exchanges sons with her beloved companion, the woman becomes her mother. Carol, you're still on the road. From now on you will be more beautiful and stronger. Be confident."

Love makes a woman beautiful.

Love strengthens women.

A woman becomes a mother if she exchanges her children.

That's a word I've heard from my mother at an early age.

At a young age, I didn't quite understand.

But now - one of those emotions, I can understand.

"Carol, forgive my impudent mother."

"Mother?"

"You look so happy to be back from last night's club. Me and Gilliam really care about you. But I never realized you had a fake smile."

……

I can't argue with your mother's words.

Last night at the club, I was released from the chain of engagement with His Highness. After seven years, I was able to be free.

But until then, it remained tied up. Become queen in the future and support Your Highness. I was desperate just for that purpose.

Exactly, the smile I was pointing at my family may have been false.

"Look at your face, I get it. You really admire Lord Wilhelm."

"... Yes, Mother"

"Nice, Carol. You don't have to fake it anymore. In front of my family, I don't need to fake it. Connect with him whom thou wilt truly be bound."

"Yes!"

To your mother's words, I nod strongly.

My mother is scary at times and scary at times, but she is more reliable than that. I'm sure my mother will even be willing to do something about it, with all the obstacles in the way that me and Master Wilhelm are going.

And my mother smiled.

"You're beautiful, Carol"

"Thank you, Mother"

"Well, you go with Alberto. You can't leave the Knights until you're done with Alberto."

I know, Mother.

Nine years ago, my mother has been a little overprotective since I was about to be kidnapped by a bad guy. You won't allow me to go out alone.

If it's about a round-trip between the Knights and the Mansion... I don't think you can damage your mother's mood badly. Besides, it's more convenient to be in the Knights until the end of my brother's service. That's all you can see of Master Wilhelm.

"I'll tell Gilliam a little bit."

"... to your father, is it?

"Yes. Gilliam says Carol is delighted to be engaged to His Highness Rayford. I am delighted that it is an honor, he has reported to me. I didn't hear that that was the kind of fool who would abruptly destroy his engagement, without thinking enough to expose Carol to shame in public, and besides being an unfaithful fool to say he was friends with Lord Wilhelm. From the age of nine until now, it was Gilliam, neither His Highness nor anyone, who took happiness away from Carol."

Ugh, and a smiling mother.

Behind that smile, there's something black floating around and I'm very scared.

"So you must never come back in the middle of the day. There's a lot to talk about, and make sure your wife cleans up properly before you come back."

What will the woman clean?

What the hell will they do in the middle of the day?

But I'm not laughing at that. On my eyed mother, you can't ask.

Okay, Mother.

"Yes, my sweet Carol, I'm going to greet Lord Wilhelm."

"Yes."

I nodded so, leaving my room and headed up to my brother, who waited in the front door.

What will your father do to your mother from now on? It's horrible and very hard to hear.

So all I can do is leave the mansion as soon as possible and not interrupt your mother's behavior.

"Brother, thank you for waiting."

"Hey Carol. That's a cute outfit. Then maybe the captain will come too."

Ha ha, with my laughing brother, I headed to the Knights.

Father...... I wish you luck.
