Nanny For Young Master's
Genius 31 - Ask me something?

"May I ask you something?" ask the woman while looking up. Looking at the handsome face of the man who was now lying with him on the same bed. Without a single thread, and only wrapped in a thick blanket.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Of all the women who came to you, why did you choose me? Aren't there many other women who are much better than me? Even among all the women who have ever approached you, they have their own privileges…"

"…There are martial arts experts, swordsmen, horsemen, archery experts, and even some who have always been champions in the imperial academy because of their cleverness. But why did you choose me? When compared to all of them, I am only a woman. I'm not very smart, I don't have much expertise, and even I suck at socializing" she said in a soft voice.

The man faced a beautiful woman who now looked at him intensely. Her irises were red like beautiful ruby gemstones. Which each time was seen shining when the light accidentally reflected into his eyes.

"Why do you want to know?" The man asked the woman, who is now his wife.

"I just want to know. Besides, it feels weird that a Duke is as good as you are, like a simple woman who has no skills like me." The woman chuckled at her own words.

"I already have all of those skills. Riding, playing sword, archery, even I was a champion in the academy when I was in school. Which makes me interested in you precisely because you don't have any skills."

"Huh?" The woman frowned.

"When I first saw you in a debutante, I initially thought that you were a troublesome woman. You can't do anything right. I even thought that I never wanted to have a partner like you. But…"

"…From there, my view changed. I thought, I don't need anyone who has extraordinary abilities or is on par with me. I just need someone who doesn't have any skills like you. I need a gentle figure, able to understand and support me in any situation…"

"…People who look weak and have no ability. The one who made me think of trying so hard to protect her, even giving up my life to make sure she was okay. And so I chose you." The man smiled looking at the woman in his arms.

"Then, since when do you like me? Didn't you say you didn't like me?"

"I started liking you when your family had your seventeenth birthday party. I was invited to the party, and then I accidentally got lost and ended up in your family music room."

"Oh, I remember the incident." The woman smiled at the events of the past few years.

"You might be lousy at doing some things. But one thing I do know, you're a genius at playing music."

"You're overreacting."

"really. I was even in love when for the first time I saw you playing live music. At that moment, I saw the other side of you. The side I thought only I knew."
