The Wedding Business Novel
Marriange Of Convenience Novel
C23
Nine years. Now this year will be ten years. It is said that rivers and mountains change in ten years, and between the two a lot has happened.
When Bianca came to Arno Castle for the first time, even for the last three years, Zachary used to pay Bianca attention. However, he too grew tired of Bianca's denial and coldness, and in the end, it turned into a cold relationship where he didn't even enter Bianca's room.
The three commanders and Vincent watched the entire process. How the couple's relationship cracked until now and how it fell apart. And how Zachary was treated by Bianca.
Even when Zachary came back from the war, she never came to visit, and when she and Zachary ate together, she made a disgusted face. Regardless of whether the person sitting next to her lost her appetite or not, she would cut the meat without opening her mouth. She believed in the power of her parents' family and she seemed to insult her husband, so she was a woman that no one would ever want to receive as a wife.
They don't know if it's because he was a Baron at the time of the marriage, but Zachary today is called an earl, a war hero, and the sharp spear, shield, and iron-blooded knight of the emperor. Divorcing her was unreasonable given the political advantage of the Blanchefort family, but it was quite possible to put limits on her life.
It can be argued that the Blanchefort family is neglecting their family, but they won't react more than enough considering the political advantage. In addition, the cause lies in the behavior of her daughter.
But Zachary left her alone. Instead of depriving her of her financial discretion, he instructed her to generally get what she wanted.
Everything between Zachary and Bianca, from left to right, was full of unknowns. Bianca's original personality is already something to think about, but they don't know what happens to her mistress, Zachary.
Thinking of taking Bianca to the capital made it almost impossible for them to keep down this morning's food.
Robert barely smiled and implicitly asked Zachary's intentions.
“Count, if I may ask why all of a sudden…
“Because I can't leave her alone in the castle forever. If we go to the capital this time, won't she have to be alone for another half a year?
—……..
He did not say. But she thinks the lady would prefer not to meet him. Robert murmured in his mind. Of course, he couldn't say it out loud.
After Robert shut his mouth, it was Sauveur's turn. Sauveur asked stuttering.
—…. D-the lady she said that she doesn't want to be alone?
-I did not say that.
I guess so. Of course yes…
The words he hadn't been able to utter echoed in his mouth. Zachary continued speaking without considering the feelings of his subordinates.
“The day I came back, she came.
-Yes Yes. That's how it went.
“I was wondering what was going on, but you made a ridiculous proposal.
-That proposal…?
—……..
It was Zachary who shut his mouth this time. Seeing Zachary staring at the corner of the desk with his mouth shut, it was obvious that this was a proposal he didn't want to talk about. What was the proposal? As Robert and Sauveur turned their heads and mobilized his imagination, Vincent, who had been listening to the story in silence, coughed and intervened.
—The lady definitely said “the most important thing for the Arno family”.
The most important thing for the Arno family. That's what Bianca mentioned… It was obviously something so important that she had to propose it directly to Zachary. As soon as an idea occurred to him, Sauveur immediately asked.
-She filed for divorce?
-What?
As soon as Sauveur's question dropped, Zachary's brow furrowed. What nonsense are you saying? Zachary's sharp reaction made his skin tingle. A cold sweat ran down Sauveur's chin. Unless it's divorce...
"...Or do you not want to give birth to the successor?"
-Nope. It wasn't that.
Zachary smiled wildly and shook his head. He does not want to give birth to the successor. Rather, it was the opposite.
He just says no, but keeps his mouth shut about what happened. Sauveur and Robert, who were frustrated, wanted to beat their chests.
"Then what the hell is…?"
—…….
Zachary was about to say something, but then he closed his mouth again. His face turned red. It seemed such a ridiculous proposal that even Zachary, who never changes his expression, flushed angrily. Here, an instinctive warning not to probe further rang out. Not wanting to touch his superior's anger, they looked at each other without further questioning.
Zachary muttered to herself, tapping her fingertips on the desk.
“Anyway, there's something you're thinking about. It's a problem because she only thinks to herself and doesn't explain why she thinks that way.
At Zachary's words, Robert and Sauveur felt like throwing up. Although they generally disagreed, the pair were very similar in nature, as Zachary mentioned now. They think to themselves, and they keep their mouths shut about why they think that way. How painful his state is currently because of that!
Zachary, who didn't think he was doing the same, sighed heavily.
“…It seems like he thinks I might abandon her.
-What? Why out of nowhere? Did you receive any correspondence from Blanchefort?
-That never happened.
It was Vincent who answered Robert's question. Vincent listed every single detail of Bianca's life while Zachary was away from the castle due to the war.
—The lady was the same as always. She changed furniture, she ordered tapestries, she asked to get the white fox fur she wanted, she complained that the food didn't suit her, she didn't socialize with anyone.
That is really amazing. Although her husband is on the battlefield, she doesn't care at all and can afford to live luxuriously. Either she's an idiot or he doesn't give a damn about her husband. And of course the case of the Countess is the last.
Vincent, who had been organizing Bianca's daily life without interruption, suddenly closed his mouth and fell into thought. After silently looking at the memories of her, he recalled the fragments that had been stuck in her mind like thorns all along.
“…But something strange happened in the middle.
-What?
Zachary looked at Vincent, surprised by what he had heard for the first time. It's not a trivial thing, but he completely forgot about it.
How can you remember something so important now? Vincent was sweating profusely with guilt.
He asked where the gentleman was.
"I guess he didn't even know he went to war." That's great.
Faced with such absurdity, Sauveur, who forgot that Zachary was there, exclaimed sarcastically. Normally, Vincent and Zachary would have asked them to refrain from rude words and actions, but now they couldn't afford to worry about Sauveur's behavior. Vincent searched the memories of him under Zachary's pressing eyes.
—Before asking, he closed the door and kept it closed for a long time. I thought she was being capricious like always, so I passed it by without giving it much thought... Come to think of it, I think she's been a bit weird ever since.
-When was that?
“Early fall.
“I trusted you and entrusted you with all authority in this castle…
-I am sorry. I was careless. It's my fault.
Vincent bowed modestly. Zachary asked several times if he had happened to Bianca, but it was definitely Vincent's fault for not remembering. As he got older, the memory of him seemed to fade. Vincent chided himself.
But Zachary didn't seem to mind too much what Vincent didn't report. He sighed and added anxiously.
"If she closes the door one more time while I'm gone, they must force it open." Under my name. In agreement?
We cannot know what is going on in the room…. She is a person who doesn't show pain very well, so it will be difficult if she is alone.
-…Yes. I'll keep it in mind.
Is Zachary worried about Bianca's health, or is he worried that something will go wrong with her, who symbolizes his ties to the Blanchefort family? The minds of the three people present were complicated.
