The Earl’s Bad Wife

Episode 24: The Worst Reunion

She also talked to her mother, servant, etc., and gradually prepared herself.

Because of this, I tried to surprise my husband by making it a surprise party, but it's a mystery if I'm going to succeed. He's an amazingly perceptive person, so you have to pay close attention.

First, I decided to buy a gift.

Leave your daughter to the nanny and accompany the samurai to the city's shopping district.

As I run the carriage, I ask a question to a long-time samurai I've known.

"What kind of things do you like?

"I was wondering if your wife would be happy with anything she gave you."

"No, that's not it. I want to give you something that I'm really happy about."

"Well, let me get this straight -"

And I will look upon the face of the samurai, and wait for the next word. But my husband's delightful gift was outrageous.

"I thought it was your wife."

"What?"

"If your wife says, 'It's your birthday, so please like me,' I think it would be a real pleasure."

"Huh!?

I feel my cheeks get cute and hot. I complained what a big deal to say.

The samurai's proposal is dismissed quickly.

In the meantime, I decided to head to a specialty store where I keep men's clothing and groceries.

As soon as he enters the store, a male clerk comes and asks him what kind of product he wants.

"I'm looking for my husband's birthday present."

"Then how about a coat of spring or something?

"You're right, let me see."

He showed me some of the right coats for a climate that is still chilly, but not as thick as wearing them.

They were all nice items, but it seemed like there was no coat to match my husband's beautiful golden hair.

After that, they show me all kinds of products.

Hat on shoes, tie on watch, cuff on bag, tie pin...... None of them come with pins.

The clerk introduces the goods one after the other without breaking his heart.

A samurai calls out to me while I go looking for my next product.

"Ma'am, a good item……!

What the samurai had in her hand was a collar for a large dog and a walking string.

Why, if I thought of it as my husband's birthday gift, I recall telling him I wanted to be a dog before. Sure, I felt like she was in the room with me when I first spoke.

"My husband will be delighted."

"Rejected."

The samurai was faceless and went to return her collar and walking string to the sales office.

If you thought there was a dog collar in the gentlemen's supply store, they would sell it along with matching belts, etc. I was surprised by the unexpected.

Nevertheless, it was hard to find what my husband deserved.

I find it very difficult to choose a gift.

◇ ◇ ◇

In the end, no gift was decided.

I felt bad about going home like this, so I bought a belt and handkerchief to wrap it up as an item of labor for a butler who had served twenty years.

Let the samurai have what she bought, and if she tries to get out of the store, the door opens suddenly.

I was supposed to have a bowl with a guest who tried to come in.

Nestled in front of you is a young man of good standing.

In this case, although it is polite for the man side to avoid it, he never tries to avoid it over there.

If I'm somewhat mucky, I'll talk to him somehow.

"That, you, aren't you Helmina von Rotlingen?

"…… you're wrong."

"You're lying, aren't you?

I'm not lying.

I got married, so my current name is Helmina von Veimar.

"No, a flashy woman like you, you can't possibly see it wrong, can you?

And he said so, and tried to extend his hand upon my arm: and he slapped him down with a folded fan.

"It hurts. Is it as violent as ever?"

"I don't care, could you please leave there?

Young man with brown hair and brown eyes.

Explore the memories of knowing each other, but I don't think I can imagine.

"Who are you? Isn't it rude not to talk to him without even naming him?

"I know you, but would it be rude if you forgot your name?

After all, do you know him? Look at the man's face.

Like we've met somewhere before, like we don't.

It was the man who cut the paralysis first, and he didn't like the name.

"It's Ignatz von Sinaik."

…… remembered.

He is the five men of the Marquis of Signake, a foolish man who bullied me as a child!!

It was such a terrible event that I guess I was erasing this man from my memory.

The Sainake family is the dowry of Sister Dorothea, so although I am the one who badly speaks of the people there, this man has, since childhood, given me all the things that I really couldn't do.

It was only when I was twelve that I finally got my revenge.

He succeeded in beating this man thoroughly with a letter of fulfilment.

"Apparently, you've noticed."

"……… Let's get out of here. It would be a nuisance for the store."

I'm taking the man to the coffee shop because he still looked like he was going to poke at me.

I wanted to take a cup of coffee and make it a charade that I had forgotten.

"- So?"

"What is it?"

"It's not what. What can I do for you?

"You must be the one who brought him into the store, right?

I'll touch you!

The desire to be angry is mountainous, but I can't be strong with someone who is also your sister's brother-in-law. My brother-in-law is such a gentleman and kind man, and I'm amazed at how different even the same brother is.

I try to bite my teeth off and smile all the time, even though I am frustrated with the niggling man.

"… So let's celebrate our reunion and toast?

"Are you going to change the store?

"No, here. Here's to coffee."

"I've never heard of that."

Gradually, I became tired of being polite. The other person is a broken language, which makes them extra ridiculous.

I just decided to put Keri on.

"I apologize for forgetting your name. … Mousiwake, Alimacendecita"

Shit, what am I gonna do? I read only the apology part.

I feel sad that you won't lie to me.

The other person seemed to notice it, wrinkling between his brows and staring at me.

"Me, if I don't get home soon, my daughter will be waiting, and my husband will be back."

Without waiting for their reply, I rise.

I ordered the maid who was holding back behind me to make the payment.

"- You really married Erich von Veimar."

"Yeah, thanks to you."

"I love marrying such a thin man."

I hear things that make my husband look like a fool, and I get cocky.

But if I rebel here and explain the situation, my husband's hardship becomes a bubble of water. So I put up with it a lot.

"What is it? You've changed your face. Are you in love with him unilaterally?

What a thing to say, I glanced at a rude ten-million man.

"It's a hit."

"Nah, no............!

"Then it wouldn't be a problem to husband your old story, would it?

"Hey, what?

"When I was a kid, I was a crier."

I remember when I was a child, this man made fun of me and I cried and went home many times.

At the same time my anger stirred up, I didn't want my husband to know.

"Next time, I'm going to be your husband's assistant. With a greeting, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have memorabilia."

"Stop!

Make a loud noise, and then you'll be hacked.

I'm glad no one was around, but I'm disqualified from messing with you like this.

It will also paint mud on the name of the Count's house. I thought I had to be careful.

"…… hey, Helmina."

"Don't call me by name!

"Okay? We're childhood friends, aren't we?"

"About me, with Mrs. Veimar"

"Well, I don't care how you call it. Come back here the evening after tomorrow."

"Huh!?

"I need to talk."

"I don't want to hear it, and I'm busy!

"If you're not coming, tell your husband about your past?

I thought he was a hell of a man to threaten me.

... but I don't want my husband to talk about my childhood.

I will snort at the demands of men.
