An Extra Who Wants To Escape The Obsessive Male Lead - Chapter 109.2
Chapter 109.2
“….”
Diello was left alone in the office.
It was a problem because his wife was too capable.
He wished she would just stay by his side.
He wished no one would seek her out.
He even went as far as to childishly bid on Daisy Forest in the auction just to prevent her from leaving abruptly… Who would have known that the land of Alors would fall right before her?
“….”
Diello let out a short sigh.
As always, he thought, it was a problem because she shone too brightly. So, to be by her side, he must shine even brighter.
And then…
[ Nira ]
He raised an eyebrow as he looked at the document about Nira.
Some time ago.
‘Finally…’
That was what he had ordered Rick to do—to find out about Nira. Rick, with his keen eye, had investigated Nira in much greater detail than the others.
[ 27 years old. Originally from the Shadow Blade family, his father is… ]
After skimming through various personal information, he discovered a sentence written in particularly bold letters at the very end.
[ On the surface, there is no possibility that he fell into the water with the Madam. ]
“…..”
Diello’s face flushed instantly.
It was definitely him who had told the other three people to investigate Nira as well.
And.
‘Find out if she’s ever fallen into the water.’
It was also him who had given that order. However, seeing Rick’s report, which understood his master’s intentions all too well, made him feel hot under the collar. When did he ever become the kind of person who knew shame?
He covered his face with one hand.
[ The problem is that it’s difficult to find his whereabouts when he was active as an assassin. If you command me, I’ll ask him myself. ]
Diello picked up a quill pen as he read the report.
[ The problem is that it is difficult to find her whereabouts when she was active as an assassin. If you command me, I will ask her myself. ]
He drew a line through the entire sentence, unable to bring himself to write his thoughts down with a pen. He didn’t want Krua to see him doing such childish things.
…He knew it was childish himself.
Just as he let out a short sigh,
“My lord, if you have finished your contemplation, may I take you to the Knights’ Hall for a moment―”
“….!”
―Thump!
The startled Diello snapped the quill pen he was holding. In the meanwhile, Redias, as if he had expected this, simply placed a box in front of him.
“This is the box that Vielle has prepared. She told me to take them out one by one secretly, but I thought it might cause problems with your work efficiency, my lord.”
“…This is.”
Diello unconsciously took the box and opened it, letting out a short sigh. It was none other than a box of quill pens.
Lately, he had been… breaking a lot of them.
Just as he was about to look at the quill pen debris next to the table…
“Are you troubled?”
“…A little.”
As Diello finally opened his mouth, Redias, watching over his nephew who was also his lord, parted his lips.
“Are you thinking about your wife?”
“…No, it’s not that.”
It could be said that he was thinking about Krua, but to be exact.
Krua was….
“―Are you thinking about the men she will meet?”
―Crack!
There was an ominous sound from the box Diello was holding.
The gazes of the two men turned to the bottom of the box. They saw a quill pen that had poked its head out fall to the floor with a clatter.
“….”
“….”
A brief silence filled the office.
Redias discreetly averted his gaze. It was to hold back laughter.
―Thump.
In the end, Diello put the box down, and slowly closed and opened his eyes.
“…Yes, I am thinking about it. As my uncle said, to be exact, not about Krua…”
He spoke as if it were embarrassing to say it out loud, his mouth twitching.
“About those who serve Krua. Their abilities, how well they can handle Alors.”
It was only in front of his uncle that he had decided not to lie. That was how he intended to skirt around it.
He didn’t want his childish insides to be exposed.
“…If they can handle it, how many times a year Krua will have to go to Alors, whether she will have to leave each time, or whether she will meet those who fell into the water with her in the past and recall those memories―”
However, he soon realized that his thoughts were spilling out of his head and shut his mouth.
Redias was staring desperately out the window by then.
Diello Argenta, who had always been the perfect and sharp lord, was changing little by little. It was a welcome change, though it seemed not for himself. Or perhaps he thought he would dislike that appearance.
Redias swallowed his laughter with effort.
If it was a concern as a lord, he should listen as a loyal subject, but if it was a concern as a young man… If it was a love affair, a love problem, then the expert was none other than this Redias Argenta?
“It seems you are troubled by your relationship with your wife. Shall I listen?”
Diello looked up and met Redias’s gaze.
“….”
His eyes were so earnest that Redias almost took a step back.
