The Atrocious Duke'S Wife
Chapter 3: Banana Skin

THIS WORK IS FICTION. NAMES, CHARACTERS, EVENTS, PLACES, ARE JUST A DELUSION. PLEASE READERS BE WISE IN RESPONDING.

A push within me now finally awakened me to immediately distance myself from him.

I slowly held my body to stand up properly, and she slowly released her hand that was coiled around my waist.

As a sign of respect, I bowed my body while pulling the corner of my skirt at her.

In this age, the title is number one. In the novel I read, Cassandra la Devoline was the daughter of a Viscount.

Since the title of Viscount is under the Duke, it is certain that I bow respectfully to him right?

Yes, even though I am also actually very unwilling and lazy to do this kind of thing.

"Greetings, My Lord," I said to him rather clumsyly, but strangely he raised his eyebrows next to his face which I admitted was handsome.

"What are you doing?"

Finally he let out a low, baritone voice that sounded intimidating to my sense of hearing.

He asked what I was doing? Of course I salute him. Is there something wrong with that?

"Of course say hello to you, because my rank is lower," I said plainly, but it seems my answer did not make him happy.

"Oh, so. It seems like this marriage doesn't mean much to you."

After she said that and left just like that, suddenly my chest became sore and tight.

Why, can I feel the sadness behind her sharp gaze and her firm and cold tone of voice at the same time sounding soft?

Did I say something I shouldn't have said?

"Mrs, what did you just say?!" elise asked hysterically on while approaching me in a hurry.

"Did I say something wrong?" I returned because I was confused.

"Of course it's wrong, ma'am! You are now Duchess Floniouse, you should not bow in such respect, because it is done only to honor people of higher rank than us. You would definitely think that you do not value your status as the wife of the Master!" obviously Elise made me finally understand.

I also reflexively patted my head. God, how could I not think of that getting there?!

But, just because of such a small thing, he sulked, anyway?!

Huh..this is really troublesome! But I still have to do it! I have to fix Cassandra la Devoline's relationship with that guy!

It's possible that with their improved relationship, I can return to my home world!

I also glanced towards the man leaving earlier. He had indeed walked far away, but I could definitely chase after him by running.

Without babibu, I immediately set foot quickly chasing after the person I was aiming for.

In a hasty move, I chased after him until I could catch up with him.

My hand stretched out to grab his arm to stop him, but who would have thought there was a banana peel lying here so I accidentally stepped on it.

Brukh!!

Who the hell threw this banana peel away?! Can't they just throw the trash in its place?!

Besides, how come there's a banana peel around here?! Have I been cursed by someone?!

Aghh! Goddamnit!

Aw.. It's very painful as long as you know.

My chin and chest were touching the rough floor hard, my feet were very painful because of the heels I was wearing, and unfortunately, my feet were very painful, the wide wound that was in my stomach was so painful and painful that I could not hold back my tears.

...🥀...

A man who had the title Duke with his shiny blonde hair, now immediately turned his body when he heard a voice like a fallen man.

The net is a little patterned, seeing a woman who is the status of his first wife was lying on the rough floor with the position of the face down accompanied by a smooth ringing.

He quickly crouched down and stretched out his hand to pull the woman's arm so she could sit down.

"Stupid, why are you so careless!" it sounds like a snapshot.

The woman named Cassandra was now finally able to rise from her initial position. Cassandra sat down with her head bowed and her faithful hand held her belly.

Arlen slipped the dark brown hair covering the face of the woman who was bowed behind her ears.

He pulled Cassandra's chin and raised her head. Cassandra grimaced as her hand touched the woman's chin.

He was silent like a statue when the woman drained a puddle of water from her dark brown eyes.

All this time, she had never seen the woman shed her tears. He had only ever seen the woman smiling sweetly and the look on her face was always shady.

But now? With a face that looked in pain, he lowered his tears smoothly on his cheek.

"Stop crying" he said. He really hated the feeling that arose inside him when he saw the woman crying.

Cassandra immediately wiped the tears that flowed on her cheeks because of the pain she felt.

"I-I just wanted to apologize. I was just greeting you in honor of you as my husband, that's all! I don't think our marriage means anything.... Of course our marriage means a lot to me" she explained, leaving Arlen a little stunned.

How not? His first wife who yesterday looked so scared of him now spoke at length while apologizing to him.

For what reason and what encouragement, Arlen's hand extended again to cupped the girl's cheek and wipe the remaining tears with his thumb.

"I forgive you," he said with a flat look. Cassandra looked a little surprised at what she said.

The woman returned the gaze that Arlen gave her, until she finally grimaced when Arlen's hand touched her sore stomach. "Akh!"

"Is your stomach hurt?" arlen asked as soon as he heard the ringing coming from the woman's lips.

Cassandra nodded with her lips that she folded as she endured the growing pain in her stomach.

But a second later Cassandra felt her body drift as Arlen's hands curled up on her back and behind her knees.

"My lor -"

"Stop calling me that! Call me Arlen," he said irrefutablely and instantly made Cassandra shut up.

"Well-well... A-arlen..,"Why Cassandra became a little gagu when she mentioned that name.

Arlen only showed a cold face as usual. The man then carried his first wife as easily as lifting the wind, and drove her to his room.

On the way to his room, they were silent towards each other. Until finally, Arlen opened his voice. "What do you really think about when you jump into a ravine?"

Cassandra froze, what should she answer?

"Do you really hate me for not being able to live with me?"

Doesn't Arlen hate Cassandra as it is written in the novel? Then why would a man suddenly ask that question with an expression that he did not know at all?
