This Time, To The Believed Path
Confusions

After telling Vivy to keep her distance from her room, Leana immediately closed the door tightly and ran towards the bed before finally dropping down there violently.

With his face immersed in a pillow, his free hand grabbed the quilt and he shouted without making a sound. His face was so red that it dyed his ears. He felt the temperature around him a little hotter than usual.

‘What the fuck?! What the fuck?!’

Leana still couldn't believe what had happened to her earlier. She did not believe that the handsome and dashing man who could be said to be the dream of the women was her husband.

The Marquess Forde Grandall.

Why was the figure he remembered in his first life so much different from the present?! Why does he feel like seeing someone's face with a face filter improved by a hundred times as it is in the modern world. Has he gone mad?!

No. gabe. Has her standard of good looks fallen deeply when she lived as Riana in the modern world? Is that as bad as standard now?

After all a face like Forde can only be found as a two-dimensional character in the modern world.

Even when he saw the figure of a two-dimensional handsome character, his reaction was only “Oh, I liked one like this” and just looked at him one eye like an idol living in a different world from him.

Is it because in fact now the figure is the legal husband in real terms then the effect soared many times over?

After passing through the many ups and downs of life, he might still be shocked by something like this.

Even if put together with her first life, she was a woman of half a century. How can he still feel like a high school boy?

Did her mental return match her age at this point when she returned to being Leana in her third life? He never remembered that his mentality could be easily swayed like this.

He always thought that was the most masterful way to restrain himself but whatever his current condition was. He wanted to bury himself alive and not come back.

Tok Tok Tok

As she heard the knock of the door, Leana who was deep in thought realized that the sky had changed behind the window of her room. Is that how long he was lost in his thoughts?

“Mistress, dinner is ready. Mr Forde has been in the dining room, are you going there?”

Vivy who was half-body entered with a worried expression looked at Leana. She still doubted her mental stability after meeting her husband this afternoon, but if she dodged now then she would never advance to the next stage.

With a slight waver, Leana confirmed her position and Leana replied.

“Please tell me that I will be going to the dining room soon .”

“I understand mistress.” Vivy nodded and left Leana.

Rice has become porridge, so it is better to just do it. It seemed like Adde's words of wisdom were very useful to strengthen his mentality at a time like this.

***

Both Leana and Forde ate with complete calmness. Eating together with her husband was something Leana did not do after two meals together at the beginning of their marriage.

When Leana entered the dining room, she tried to smile gently at her husband but she got nothing in return. She did not even remember how her husband looked as he smiled at her.

Does her husband not really like her? But if he could trust the book he was reading it should have been Forde to Leana…

Leana put her cutlery down as soon as she finished and then looked at Forde who had also just finished her meal. Forde, who felt Leana's gaze, turned to look at her.

Leana clenched her mouth several times, the sound she should have let out did not come out. Looking at Leana who seemed to want to say something but hesitated, Forde immediately got up from his chair.

“You don't have to force yourself. I'll be right away resting in room.”

Ah. nope…

He must stop Forde immediately, otherwise his chance to make a deal will be lost.

Leana immediately got up and subconsciously raised her voice a little.

“Wait a minute, Mr Forde!”

Forde stopped in the middle of the road and turned towards Leana. Some of the waiters who cleaned the dining table and Albert who was there were also jolted due to Leana's higher-than-usual voice.

“That, anu, We need to talk!”

“There is something I need to talk about.” Along with his slowly fading words, he felt Forde's eyes sparkle a little at his words before finally turning his head. Is it just his feelings?

Not long after that Forde looked back at Leana who was waiting for her answer.

“I understand. Come anytime when you are ready.” Forde continued his journey back to the room.

Hearing the answer, Leana heaved a sigh of relief and she approached Albert who was still silent in his position.

“Albert, for tomorrow can you prepare the material I requested earlier?”

“I understand mistress.” Answer Albert.

At that time no one realized that Forde had stopped for a moment listening to the conversation between Leana and Albert who looked friendly and close.

***

The next day, Albert now gave a full account of the Grandall residence in the study.

“...That was the end of my report.”

With a sheet of documents in hand, Albert ended his report from the beginning of Forde's departure until the end of his return.

Documents completed by Leana during these two months were also presented in the report, with Forde carefully observing document after document.

“You said this document was completed by my wife?” Forde showed the documents in his hand to Albert.

“Two months ago the mistress volunteered to help and she also used the method I described in the report earlier in drafting the document.”

Forde looked back at the document before finally storing it with another document. He looked back at Albert who was cleaning up the documents on the other table.

“In addition is there anything else to report? About my wife for example?”

‘Ah this is critical..’ is what comes to Albert's mind.

He knew that his employer would ask about his wife's situation, but he also promised not to open his mouth because the explanation would be done by Leana herself. But now does he dare to cover up the reality before his employer?

‘Mistress... what should I do..’ In addition to praying to that creator, Albert also quietly prayed.

to Leana.

With an expression as calm as he could, Albert began to open his mouth.

“If about the mistress, while working on the document in the workspace, the mistress found the land document Alphiella.”

“Alphiella?”

‘That's a place name I haven't heard of since I became Grandall.’

Forde read the document Albert gave him and Albert continued his explanation.

“Mistress found Alphiella land documents and did an investigation. From the investigation, the mistress discovered that Alphiella was a region forgotten and wiped off the map by the Solfilyan empire. But at the same time the ownership of the land is now given to Grandall.”

While listening to Albert's explanation, Forde listened carefully. The situation between Albert and his employer is still safe so he can breathe a little.

He also continued.

“After collecting information, the mistress checks directly there..”.

“What did you say?”

Uh oh's…

Suddenly the temperature of the room seemed to drop dramatically. Albert could barely feel his own feet. Albert immediately shut his mouth tightly against the gaze of his master who was as sharp as a sword.

With his throat dry, Albert continued his words even though this time he did not know how to explain to his employer.

“Nyonya... go to the Alphiella region directly... and try to set it up again..”.

“Then..” Albert explained his report hesitantly and it left Forde running out of patience.

“What's up, Albert? Is there something you can't tell me? Especially about my wife?”

Nggh…

Albert began to feel the cold heat all over his body. If he does not strengthen himself, he may fall

fainted.

“Last month, the slavery organization was found in the city of Adreandel.

that..”

“Hah? What does that mean?”

Can't do. Albert felt a terrifying aura from his master and he felt that he was being strangled directly along with the words that he let out.

“At that time madam... went to the city of Adreandel to buy jewelry...It was also her first time to the city.”.

“I asked how my wife was involved in the incident, Albert. You certainly have complete information about that, don't you?”

“Soal it—”

Tok Tok!

“Master Forde, mistress Leana wants to meet you.”

In the middle of Forde and Albert's conversation, Vivy's voice stating Leana's arrival to the office seemed like a rescue trumpet to Albert.

‘Mrs! You came just in time!’ Albert exclaimed as he sobbed happily in his mind. Although his face was still filled with cold sweat from the pressure from his master.

Forde fixed himself and replied.

“Bring my wife in.”

When Leana came in, she found Albert who seemed to be giving a report somehow looking relieved at her. Brushing aside his heralding sense, he immediately turned his gaze towards Forde.

“Mr Forde, as I said yesterday, there's something I need to talk about.”

Leana glanced at Albert and Albert who realized the signal of his departure immediately bowed and resigned with a relieved smile.

“Then excuse me for resigning, Mr. Forde, Mrs Leana.”

Albert disappeared behind the door behind Leana. Feeling the awkwardness between the two, Forde spoke up first.

“How about you sit first?”

“Iya, alright.”

While Forde tidied up the documents scattered on her desk, Leana walked to the sofa and after finishing Forde also sat on the sofa opposite her.

Leana was quite stunned at Forde's calm demeanor, in contrast to her slightly tense self.

For a while the two fell silent until Forde took the initiative to open his mouth.

“So what do you want to talk about?” ask Forde.

Leana slightly took a breath and then looked straight at Forde before her.

“Mr Forde, I'm here to make a deal with you.”

With the end of the statement, Leana did not miss the slightest change in Forde's expression that was shocked to hear it.
