Marriange Of Convenience Novel

Although Vincent said he would, Zachary couldn't wipe the worry off his face, as if he wasn't relieved. Zachary's fingers tapped on the desk again.
"So nothing happened before he locked himself in the room?"
-Yes. No matter how much you think about it… There really was nothing.
Vincent looked back at his memories, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't guess anything. How was the day the lady was locked in the room? It was something that he had completely forgotten about until recently, but as he remembered it step by step, the memory turned into a clue and came to his mind.
He would wake up late and skip meals saying they weren't to his liking, go for a walk and then take a nap… Then suddenly he locked himself in the room and screamed. He knew that it was not like the lady, that she was always quiet and valued her dignity as her noble, but Vincent thought that he was just acting on a whim. To be precise, he didn't want to pay much attention to her. Because he wasn't idle enough to accommodate her whims. In any case, what Vincent can assure you is that she was the same as always until she suddenly locked herself in her room.
But Zachary couldn't believe Vincent's words that nothing had happened. Without something having happened, he suddenly locks himself in his room and tells Zachary that he wants to have an heir…? It was absurd. Surely there must be an event that was the starting point. It's probably just that Vincent didn't notice.
"Nothing happened and you suddenly think like that?" Who whispered nonsense to him…?
—The lady was always alone.
"Then she must have thought such nonsense because she was alone."
Despite Vincent's interruption,
Zachary just shrugged in response.
Normally, Zachary would just brush off Bianca's business and say, "Please go with what she wants," but he wouldn't think deeply. That's why they can't believe that she is so persistent. What ridiculous suggestion did the countess make?
Robert, who was listening to the conversation between Vincent and Zachary, broke out in a cold sweat. In the end, the conclusion is….
"S-so he'll take her to the capital?"
“I intend to. He likes to see art and furniture, so he will love going to the capital. If I let him buy a lot of things he wants, he'll feel a little better.
If you take a look at what she likes, you'll realize how ridiculous it is to think that he could leave her. Zachary sighed deeply and sank down in his chair. He seemed to think his decision was a very good one.
But Zachary was the only one who thought that. Vincent, Robert, and even the ignorant Sauveur thought Zachary's ideas weren't very good. The words, "Isn't that the Earl's misunderstanding?" they got to the bottom of his throat, but had the good sense not to spit him out.
Travel to the capital? It's definitely not something the Countess would like. If Bianca had longed for a trip to the capital in the first place, she would have done so long ago. Whether Zachary is at war or not, she would recruit people and gather manpower. But so far, she hasn't even batted an eye. She hasn't even gone to the Blanchefort territory, which is closer than the capital. That meant that she had no interest in leaving the castle!
Hesitantly, Sauveur suggested.
"Wouldn't it be better to ask him?" It is possible that the lady does not want to go to the capital.
"...Wouldn't you like to go?"
At Sauveur's suggestion, Zachary groaned and clucked his tongue. It seemed like he hadn't even thought about it. Zachary scratched his head harshly. His silver gray hair was mussed between his fingers. Zachary let out a long breath.
“Well, he might not like having to face my face for half a year.
"No, that's not what I meant...
Sauveur smiled awkwardly and tried to comfort Zachary, but his words were a blur as there was no sincerity in his words. Sauveur's lips trembled. Zachary muttered, not listening to Sauveur's excuses.
"I'll have to ask you...
"I think that would be better." If he goes to the capital and other nobles find out, he will be in trouble. There's no way the lady would consider the earl's face to that extent...
Robert quickly added. Even if everyone in the world knows that it is an arranged marriage, there is no need to openly reveal that the marriage is not good. It would have been nice if she could fake it in front of a banquet hall or other nobles, but Bianca was not that kind of woman. Frankly, Robert was desperately against Bianca going to the capital.
But that feeling was too obvious. Zachary's eyes gleamed at the hostility towards Bianca that was evident at the end of his words. Zachary rebuked Robert with a short but resolute expression.
—Robert.
-… I was wrong.
Robert bowed quickly.
Normally, she would have been careful to blame Bianca in front of Zachary, but since she recently confronted Bianca about the Ante case, she couldn't contain her anger.
It was certainly the maid's fault, but that didn't defend her behavior of hitting the other person. As a countess, Bianca had no reason not to be defended, but once she offended, she came into her sight.
"I trust you, Rob. In that sense, don't undermine my confidence with a word or an action like this.
-… Yes.
Robert answered slowly. He has been taking care of Zachary longer than Bianca has been married to Zachary. Meanwhile, he protected Zachary's back in the middle of the war and didn't hesitate to do all sorts of dirty things with his sword.
How ridiculous it is to undermine Zachary's trust over Bianca's business!
If Bianca were truly devoted to the lord, wouldn't she know? However, isn't she just a woman who puts all her duties as the lord's wife behind Vincent and cares only for luxury?
Robert's face distorted with pain.
"Anyway, Robert, that guy always says useless words."
Sauveur clucked his tongue. Gaspard doesn't even say the necessary words, and Robert utters useless words out of concern for Zachary. "As expected, I am the best." Sauveur was very proud of himself.
After all, Zachary doesn't listen to other people's stories. He listens to any advice he needs, but has a one-sided disposition to follow through on decisions that have already been made. He is so assertive that he must have run off as a knight-errant, ignoring his father's advice to become a priest.
And Zachary's stubbornness about Bianca couldn't even be beaten. In the end, as vassals, there is nothing they can do about it. Either Bianca decides not to go, or they will have to go to the capital with Bianca as Zachary ordered. No matter what they say, it's useless.
Sauver sighed. Just thinking about it was annoying.
"I'm sure the carriage is shaking, isn't there tea time? I don't like the bedding at the inn."
He will definitely complain a lot. Rather, she was small and cute when she got married at age seven. Even now, she is still little, she is 16 years old. The age at which a woman, who was still sensitive and fussy, becomes more sensitive and fussy.
Correct. Bianca is sixteen years old. The blossoming age of a woman. Old enough to have children...
That's how it is! The successor!
Sauveur clapped his hands involuntarily. All three pairs of eyes turned to Sauveur.
"What's the matter, Sauveur?"
-What? No. Ha ha… When I think about going to the capital with the lady, my motivation arises.
I thought that I should do my best, so I motivated myself!
Robert looked at Sauveur with stunned eyes, as if he were mad. Zachary didn't seem to believe Sauveur's words either. Another wrinkle appeared between Zachary's eyebrows. LOL…. Sauveur laughed awkwardly. He knew they wouldn't believe him, but he had no choice but to get out of the situation.
