My Contract Husband is Going Crazy Because of My Iron Wall - Chapter 37.2
Chapter 37.2
“It seems they’ve decided to get rid of me altogether since they can’t take Irovel away from me.”
“Get rid of Reinhardt?!”
“If I’m executed, Irovel will be without a spouse.”
Gerard was such a jerk, really!
He already had more than enough concubine, so why was it so important to him to add one more and kill his own brother in the process? He was even pinning a crime Reinhardt didn’t commit on him!
I was so, so angry, but fortunately, I knew how to resolve this situation.
‘I’ll just use the method Lucia used.’
Unlike Lucia, who had to search for a long time to find a solution, I had read ‘My Contract Husband is a Little Strange,’ so I would be able to save Reinhardt without much difficulty.
“Reinhardt. I will never let you die…”
I declared with a determined look, repeating the words I had spoken in my dream.
“Leave this to me.”
Two days later. Camilla arrived at the Grand Duke’s mansion.
“Mother, you’ve arrived.”
“It must have been a difficult journey.”
“Hmm…”
Camilla, who had gotten out of the carriage, looked me up and down. My body felt like it was covered in goosebumps from nervousness.
“You don’t look bad today.”
She smiled slightly, perhaps because I was wearing the custom-made dress she had given me the other day. Soon, the three of us were sitting in the reception room, where simple refreshments and tea had been prepared.
Camilla, who had gracefully picked up her teacup, spoke first.
“Where is Amil?”
“Well…”
Reinhardt and I exchanged glances, both looking troubled. I was the one who managed to speak first out of the two of us.
“…He’s sleeping.”
“What? Didn’t you tell him I was coming?”
“Um… I did, but…”
He had waited for Camilla, saying he was sleepy, and then gone into the bedroom. He wasn’t in his right mind because of that damn second awakening…
“Young lord Leopold hasn’t been well lately.”
“Is he not even in a condition to be woken up and brought here by force?”
“He should be able to do that much.”
“Then bring him here. Jade!”
At her call, Jade soon brought Amil in. Amil, who had been dragged in against his will, grumbled at Camilla with his eyes still half-closed.
“Ah, I wanted to sleep more… Why…”
“…Is this what you meant by not being well?”
Camilla asked, pointing to his head, and I made up a flimsy excuse.
“Yes… He’s been under a lot of stress lately, and he’s been acting out of character.”
“So that’s why he suddenly did something like this… All right. Amil, if you’re that sleepy, go back to sleep.”
“I want to sleep right now, so I’ll sleep here.”
Amil said that and flopped down on one of the remaining sofas. Soon, the sound of Amil’s snores filled the reception room, and only silence lingered between the people who were still awake.
‘When will he play the recording for Camilla?’
Well, it was fortunate that one of the basic human needs, the need for sleep, took precedence.
“…By the way, there’s a rumor going around the mansion these days.”
Camilla uttered, looking at me after the silence.
“That you and Amil are… involved.”
Cough!
Judging by the way Jade suddenly coughed, it seemed he knew where the rumor had come from. I glanced at Jade once and then put my arm around Reinhardt’s.
“As you can see, the young lord Leopold is in that state, so it seems that some false rumors have spread because I, as the hostess, have been paying a little more attention to him. Isn’t that right, my dear?”
“…Yes.”
“Hmm—so?”
She looked at Reinhardt’s face, which was nodding awkwardly with a suspicious expression.
“But why does my son look sick?”
‘Is she a psychic?!’
She could tell he was sick just by looking at that face that looked perfectly fine on the outside. As expected of a mother!
“He looks like he’s been suffering a lot from his wife’s infidelity.”
“Irovel didn’t have an affair.”
“Then, why are you sick?”
“That has nothing to do with my illness.”
At that moment, Amil, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly sat up on the sofa and spoke to Camilla.
“Aunt. I have something to tell you.”
“What do you mean, suddenly waking up and talking?”
“I woke up because it was noisy, so I thought I’d tell you what I was going to tell you when I saw you.”
‘Don’t tell me. He wants to say Reinhardt and I are in a contract marriage?!’
Seriously. He was fumbling around in his pockets! He must be looking for the recording device!
‘Reinhardt. Reinhardt said he’d take care of it! Do something!’
I sent him that look, and Reinhardt quickly grabbed Amil’s wrist and spoke to Camilla.
“Mother. I also have something to tell you.”
