The Earl’s Bad Wife

She wanted to know more about her husband's mysterious behavior, but couldn't tell her who she heard about it.

"If you're gathering information, why don't you go to the masquerade?

"Masquerade..."

Apparently the masquerade is held every few months, a ball that wears a mask that hides the eye area and attends anonymously.

He recognizes that the ball is not intended for social purposes, but is only held as personal pleasure.

Although the invitation was received, the sender refused every time because he thought it was a suspicious "Mask Association" and not a night out.

If you say you've never been there, you surprised me.

"Then you don't know 'Your Lordship of Silver', do you?

"Yeah. I've never heard that before."

A silver princess is a man who has been attending a masquerade since about nine months ago, has silver hair, is tall and slurry, and stands gracefully. And you think he's a surprisingly good dancer?

"He's a really nice guy!

"Me too, I danced once, it was like a dream!

As soon as the topic of your son in silver was raised, he spoke with enthusiasm.

"Silver hair hey............. Was he in the social world?

"I thought maybe my hair was a wig."

"Yeah."

Your son says he will never reveal his identity.

The fact that they are unidentified may also be one of the factors driving them crazy.

"I, the prince of silver, consider myself a second prince!

"After all, you think so, don't you?

…… The identity of your son in silver is the second prince ~?

I didn't think so.

It's something I can't say with very much in my mouth, but I don't think the second prince, Augusto Ferdiant von Mecklenburg, is a shady, well-mannered person.

Your son and I in silver seem to be the perfect people to have a good perception and never divulge information about ourselves.

The possibility that he is a second prince who is humanly clumsy would be close to zero.

"Mr. Helmina, the masquerade is so much fun, why don't you join your husband?

"With my husband, there will be no problem."

"Yeah, right. I'll think about it."

Somehow, the desire to reveal the identity of your son and his son in silver springs up in two ways.

Just now, the next meeting will be in a week.

I haven't gotten back to you yet, and during that time, my husband isn't home.

I think it might be a good idea to participate in gathering information and meeting your son in silver.

I have to renovate the mask and the new dress to attend the masquerade.

Thereafter, the Tea Party was dissolved and I set out to visit my sister Dorothea's house in the afternoon.

◇ ◇ ◇

As promised, my husband is back.

Using each other's self-esteem as a perfect thing, we head to Dorothea's sister-in-law's house.

My sister, who I haven't seen in a week, looks a lot better.

"Sister Dorothea, it's really good."

"Yes, thank you and I'm feeling better."

In a little while, he said he would be able to train, so I asked him to rest for a while.

As always, Dorothea, I thought your sister was powerful.

After that, my nephew Fran comes with a nanny with a baby and introduces me to her three sisters.

"There's Elizabeth, there's Henrietta, there's Emily, there's Emily."

Oh, what adorable kids. I tremble in front of the baby.

I wanted to take a slow look, but I have to talk to your sister now.

My lovely nephew, my niece and I break up and decide to move on to the point.

Apparently your sister had heard one story from her brother-in-law about removing the child of the second prince.

While relieved, it is pursued with a harsh look.

"Are you aware of how hard that decision can be?

"……… Yep."

At first, I felt light-hearted.

Originally, I heard that it was my husband's child, so I thought it would be just fine.

But not now.

"I wanted to change."

"That, why?

"I can't explain it well, but I need to stay this way..."

My mother said.

By dealing with children, he said he could grow himself.

"… indeed, we may have been too cute about you"

Your sister was apologizing to her husband.

"Mr. Erich, are you having trouble treating your sister?

"No, that's not true."

My husband smiles like his usual honey and gives a loving response.

He may be a patient person because he has been an educator for a second prince who seems bigoted for years.

Dorothea, your sister told my husband how to treat me (?).

"Please say no to any strange requests or invitations."

"That's a waste of time."

Dorothea, your sister asks me questions, too. I was wondering if I had made unscrupulous demands or invitations to my husband.

"Er, before this, I baptized my husband and the woods."

"Baptism is Alexia's usual place to go!?

"……… Yes"

"Well, what a terrible thing!

They pissed me off that that wasn't the kind of place that normal people would go.

It was said before. You must not associate others with my taste.

Drop your shoulders snugly.

My husband gave me a help ship.

"Um, sister-in-law, I'm fine. Before this, I enjoyed myself."

"You don't have to."

Only once, Dorothea, she also went to baptism with Sister Alexia. You think he was about to slip on a cliff he was on his way to and nearly got hurt at risk?

"Alexia told me not to go there."

"……… they said."

But I thought the only way to clean up sin was to go over there.

I said I was sorry I broke my promise and lowered my head deeply.

I also apologized to my husband for taking him to a terrible place.

"It's okay. Now let's go somewhere safe."

"…… Yes, thank you."

It is noticed even now. I am a very strange man.

How come I haven't been aware of it before? I get depressed.

"Well, we'll be responsible that you are. In that regard, I would like to apologize."

Sister Dorothea apologized to me.

"Your sister is not bad."

"No, we're trying to protect you - no, it's nothing. Let's get back to it."

Says your sister.

It would be nice to learn a lot through parenting.

"Raising children is never all about fun. But you'll get more than that."

Don't bring everything in alone, Sister Dorothea says.

"Your mother has a number of hands on Erich, on us, on the servants, on help."

They asked me to rely on my surroundings if I didn't know, if I was suffering, or if I was in trouble.

Finally, your sister wishes on her husband.

"Mr. Erich. Regards about my sister and the child who draws royal blood"

"Yes. I'll take care of it. My wife and son, I will protect them."

My husband had a serious look and replied.

Listening to your sister, listening to her husband's determination, I feel that my anxiety has diminished.

After that, we were supposed to have dinner together and go home.

I didn't see my brother-in-law, but I thought I'd come back later to say hello.

At that time, I think I want to bring the child I picked up with me.

On the way home, my husband asked me.

"Children's names, what should we do?

Apparently, we have the honor of naming them.

"Will you name me?

"Is it okay with my thought name?

All of our sisters were named by your father. Just like that, I'll do you a favor and ask you to name me.

My husband told me to think about it.
