I Dislike The Male Lead’s Child

Chapter 75 Part-2


TL/N: In this novel single Quotation mark (‘) is used for internal monologue, and Quotation marks (” “) are used for external dialogue.


 

Before leaving, Asellus put a bracelet on me.

 

It was to be prepared for any unforeseen danger.

 

“I’ve minimized my mana usage, so it shouldn’t create a problem. If something goes wrong with your body, pull the bracelet. It’ll break soon.”

 

I nodded meekly and looked at him with an unintentional thought.

 

“I’m not going to wiretap.”

 

“I won’t.”

 

“Really?”

 

“I swear to heaven. I’ll never eavesdrop on you.”

 

Saying this, Asellus met my eyes.

 

Those golden eyes sparkled like a luster.

 

I don’t think Asellus will lie, so I nodded.

 

“Yeah.”

 

Senna held out an escoffion* to me. [*medieval headwear ]

 

It was prepared in a hurry because it was hot outside.

 

As Sena said, Latella is filled with sunshine.

 

I took the escoffion and left the room.

 

Asellus escorted me to the first floor.

 

As we descended the stairs, Mrs. Lovtree, sitting in the garden on the first floor, got up.

 

Her gaze fell on my hand, which was holding Asellus.

 

After a long silence, she opened her mouth slowly.

 

“Asellus, do you escort Avril every time?”

 

Mrs. Robtree looked a little startled.

 

No matter how kind you are, moving according to the other person’s behavior takes work.

 

‘Well, who would do such a thing.’

 

In fact, Asellus’s behavior was extraordinary compared to other Aristocats.

 

I didn’t know because there was no comparison, but Mrs. Lovtree’s reaction convinced me.

 

That Asellus was paying a lot of attention to me.

 

While I was deep in thought, Asellus nodded proudly.

 

“Of course.”

 

“What a sweet gesture.” -Mrs. Lovtree

 

Mrs. Robtree turned around with a satisfied expression on her face.

 

“Let’s go.” -Mrs. Lovtree

 

I walked along with her.

 

A carriage was parked right in front.

 

With a very graceful gait, she got onto the carriage.

 

‘She did not even step on such a long skirt.’

 

I was dumbfounded as I watched her gently climb up even the stairs of the carriage.

 

It was a completely different movement from me, who was just imitating.

 

Even if I were reborn again, I didn’t think I could walk like that.

 

Unfortunately, it was only possible to imitate the manners worn by Avril.

 

But Mrs. Lovtree was as lenient with Avril, so she didn’t pay attention unless I stepped on the hem of her skirt.

 

Instead, it was frustrating that I couldn’t do anything. 

 

“Your bare neck keeps bothering me. Are all Austell’s ornaments shaped like that?”

 

Is it because the existence of a mother who pays attention to me is really unfamiliar?

 

I didn’t feel wrong about being criticized.

 

I replied with a light smile.

 

“Because it’s too heavy for me.”

 

“Oh, you’re getting old too. Are your shoulders becoming stiff?”

 

Mrs. Robtree let out a rare chuckle.

 

She looked genuinely happy.

 

“It’s tiring to groom ourselves, but we’re Lovtrees, aren’t we?”

 

“Yes, you are right.”

 

“Yeah, I was relieved, by the way. Asellus behaved like a proper husband should.

He was so well-behaved when he was a child, but how did he grow up so fast?”

 

Mrs. Lovtree was engulfed in memories. The corners of her lips held a gentle smile.

 

It was like remembering an old time when I didn’t exist.

 

I couldn’t answer anything, so I swallowed my breath.

 

The hand holding the skirt hem was full of strength.

 

Fortunately, the carriage arrived at the shopping street quickly.

 

Mrs. Lovtree led me out of the carriage.

 

She pointed to the store with her fan right in front of her.

 

“Do you remember this place? It’s a place you used to like.”

 

I nodded slowly.

 

The pastel-toned shop was decorated with flowers and jewels.

 

It must be an expensive item that is hard to find.

 

It was a place that real Avril would have liked in the past.

 

I followed her and started brainwashing my mind.

 

‘I’m Avril, who likes to be extraordinarily wealthy and glamorous.’

 

Only then were the heavy footsteps lifted.

 

******

 

After sending Avril and his party, Asellus went to the royal castle.

 

Those who recognized him greeted him.

 

But as soon as Ascelus left, they rushed to gather.

 

Be it Nobles or servants had all flocked together.

 

It was not due to his fame.

 

It was because of the rumors circulating in the capital.

 

They whispered in a hushed tone, lest Asellus could hear them.

 

“—Did you hear that?”

 

“If you’re talking about Zune’s party found at the crossroads, I’ve already heard it.”

 

“I heard one of them could not even open his eyes.”

 

Last night, the guards found four people lying in an alleyway at a crossroads.

 

All of them fainted, but none of them suffered any injuries.

 

Nevertheless, the group at the intersection could not get out of bed.

 

They were busy being silent as if it was a name they would not dare to spit out, even when the guards persistently interrogated the culprit.

 

It was a strange situation. The Guards could not catch the criminal and be ordered to hold the case.

 

When the rumor spread, people assumed that the culprit was Asellus, as if they had waited for affirmation.

 

The victim was indeed knocked down without suffering an injury, but a glove with the Austell emblem had fallen off the scene of the incident.

 

Like a warning.

 

A chatterer, who was listening to them, asked with a puzzled expression.

 

“But why did this incident happen?”

 

“Because they slandered Maquis’s wife.”

 

“— Her? Looks like she’s got ten lives.”

 [They meant Avril is Fortunate to have Marquis’s affection]
