My Contract Husband is Going Crazy Because of My Iron Wall - Chapter 43.1
Chapter 43.1
“You smile to yourself, Reinhardt?”
“No, I’m not.”
Reinhardt glared at John as if he would kill him. If it wasn’t for a funny imagination, why did he laugh?
“Why is he laughing?”
“…Just because.”
John laughed heartily and exaggerated Reinhardt’s words.
It seemed that Reinhardt, who had never been interested in women, suddenly brought his wife, which was quite interesting to him. Then, I should do some fan service for John. I winked at Arthur as if I were talking to him, raising my voice so that everyone could hear.
“I want to be alone with Reinhardt for a while. Please don’t let anyone in, even if we don’t come out of the bedroom for a few days. Don’t put guards near the bedroom either. We are newlyweds. You understand what I mean?”
“Ye, yes, of course. I’ll take you to the bedroom right away!”
“Let’s go, honey!”
I grabbed Reinhardt’s arm, and Reinhardt looked surprised. Then, following Arthur, he whispered to me.
“Why, why are you doing this…”
“Just be quiet. I’ll tell you in the bedroom.”
* * *
I thought I would be alone with Reinhardt as soon as I entered the bedroom, but I was wrong.
Perhaps stimulated by the mention of the ‘newlyweds’, the servants who received instructions from Arthur took Reinhardt and me to the bathroom and immersed us in a bathtub full of fragrant oil.
We were soaked in all sorts of fragrant oils, and we were finally able to get away from them after wearing obscene underwear inside our sleepwear.
And now, I’m finally alone with Reinhardt.
“….”
“….”
We looked at each other in an awkward atmosphere.
“Well… Shall we sit down first?”
Unlike the capital’s bedroom, there was no sofa here, so I gestured to the bed. Reinhardt, who nodded slowly, sat down far away from me.
“While others think we are having a happy time as newlyweds, we will sneak out and cross the barrier. It would be difficult if it were known that I am a half-demon and can cross the barrier.”
“So… That was the plan.”
“Let’s get some sleep first and then sneak out at dawn when there are relatively few guards. Can we do that?”
Since Lucia also used this tactic in the novel, it shouldn’t be impossible.
Reinhardt nodded at my question with conviction.
‘Okay! Now, I can relax and get some sleep.’
At the thought, I immediately got under the covers and lay down before peeking out my head and inviting him as well.
“Come in, Reinhardt. There’s no sofa here, so we have to sleep together in the bed.”
“…I can’t do that.”
“But if you go out without sleeping, you’ll be tired.”
Reinhardt couldn’t open his mouth as if he wasn’t worried about the sleeping time. I continued to persuade him.
“It won’t happen overnight to win Larboris’ heart. We’ll have to camp beyond the barrier, so get a good night’s sleep when you can.”
“Hmm…”
“If you’re uncomfortable sleeping together, I’ll sleep on the floor.”
“That’s absolutely out of the question. Don’t you see it’s a marble floor?”
“It’s not okay for Reinhardt to sleep on the marble floor either. Stop worrying and just come in.”
I was so tired, perhaps because I was lying in bed for the first time in a while after camping for a long time. As I yawned, Reinhardt looked down at me intently.
“Are you tired?”
“Yes…”
“Then, you should go to sleep quickly.”
“So, you should come in quickly as well. I don’t think I can sleep soundly until I confirm that Reinhardt is sleeping in the bed….”
“….”
At those words, Reinhardt finally lifted the covers next to me for the first time.
The next moment, my feet touched his slightly as he lay down next to me. I was so surprised that I flinched and moved my body to the side. It was funny that he was so embarrassed, so I let out a laugh.
“Sleep well. I’ll turn my back and sleep because I think my heart will race when I see your face when I open my eyes.”
As soon as I turned my back on him, there was a rustling sound of him turning over on the other side. I glanced back and saw that he had also turned his back.
After that, only Reinhardt’s and my breathing continued in silence.
“….”
“….”
Hmm…
