My Contract Husband is Going Crazy Because of My Iron Wall - Chapter 39.1
Chapter 39.1
“He’s annoying and irritating.”
“But you don’t love him?”
“I was worried I might fall for him, but I’m fine now since I know the most charming man in the world.”
“Who is that?”
“My husband, Reinhard Erestein, of course!”
Of course. Who else could it be?
Camilla nodded in satisfaction.
“How do you feel about him?”
“Well…”
Irovel hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“I feel ashamed. After Reinhardt kissed my stomach that time…”
“Oh dear.”
His son said he didn’t know what to do, but he had done everything he should have. Even though she felt embarrassed to learn about his son’s private life when he didn’t really want to know, she was relieved to know that she didn’t need to worry about their relationship.
“Even though it’s a contract marriage, keep the union going.”
Then, they would continue to do things like that and have grandchildren. Camilla hid her intentions and gave a different reason.
“It would be better if others didn’t suspect anything between you.”
“Are you accepting our relationship?”
“No. You said you’d handle his trial. I’ll accept you after that. Prove to me that you’re someone Reinhardt needs.”
Or accept her son’s heart.
Camilla hid a smile behind her wineglass, unbeknownst to Irovel.
‘It’s like being a supporting character in a romance novel and watching the love story unfold.’

“Come here, both of you.”
As soon as the effects of the confession potion wore off, I called Reinhardt and Amil. The two of them stood before me, looking at me anxiously.
I asked Amil first.
“Didn’t you want to tell her about the recording of the Grand Duke mentioning the contract marriage? Why not?”
“I couldn’t hold on from not cursing my father.”
“Ha…”
He’s naïve because he’s in the middle of his second awakening. I chuckled and then turned to Reinhardt with a stern face.
He flinched.
“Reinhardt, why did you tell her about the contract marriage?”
“I thought Amil had already told her…”
“What? Haha! You idiot! You dug your own grave!”
Reinhardt and I glared at Amil at the same time. Even then, Amil didn’t care and continued to whine.
“I’m so scared of my second awakening, I couldn’t even open my mouth to my aunt!”
“You should have said so from the beginning if you weren’t going to tell her anyway.”
I gritted my teeth and spoke, causing Amil, who had been whining to Reinhardt, to lower his voice a little.
“I thought I’d have to exhaust you before you would tell me about it… I didn’t know Reinhardt would do it first.”
“Sigh…”
I sighed and asked Amil.
“Are you that scared of your second awakening?”
“Of course. I don’t know when or where my true identity will be revealed.”
“Oh dear. It can’t be helped.”
Amil’s plan to exhaust me had succeeded. He had made me feel grateful that he hadn’t told Camilla about the contract marriage.
“I’ll tell you.”
“Really?!”
“Really.”
I nodded and revealed the information that Amil had been so eager to know.
“I’m sorry, but Viscount Leopold’s second awakening has already happened.”
“…Yes?”
“Don’t you think your current state is a little strange? Losing self-control is a symptom of it. There are no other symptoms.”
“How long will this state continue?”
Reinhardt asked, curious after listening to me.
“It varies from person to person.”
In my case, it lasted for a month. It was quite enjoyable to watch my family panic…
“I see. So, assuming it ends someday, what happens after it ends?”
“Sometimes, a special ability develops in the mixed-blood descendants of high-ranking demons, but Viscount Leopold is probably a distant descendant, so it won’t apply to you.”
“Does the person Irovel knows so well have an ability?”
Lucia has the ability to see past lives. In my case, it’s probably precognition.
“That’s a secret. You might find out when you meet them later.”
“But they wouldn’t go around showing off their abilities, so how would I know?”
No, they would.
Lucia went around telling people about their past lives… Fortunately, no one took her seriously, so it didn’t lead to her identity being revealed.

“By the way, who is this person that Irovel knows so well? Is it you?”
Late at night, in our bedroom, Reinhardt asked.
“No, it’s someone else.”
“Is it someone I know?”
“Not yet. You’ll find out later. For now, don’t ask any more questions and just know that.”
I decided to draw the line at asking any more questions because I thought it might interfere if I mentioned Lucia later. However, that seemed to pique his curiosity even more.
“Why? Is it someone I shouldn’t know?”
“No. I’m just being careful about what I say.”
“If you’re being careful about what you say, then…”
Reinhardt hardened his expression abruptly and spoke in a curt tone.
“Was that person the ‘first’ for Irovel?”
