My Contract Husband is Going Crazy Because of My Iron Wall - Chapter 50.1
Chapter 50.1
The knights held them back, but the unjustly captured audience also joined the soldiers of Erestein and broke through the knights. Thanks to this, the soldiers of Erestein who were able to escape gathered around Reinhardt and me.
“Before you question the innocent Grand Duchess, it is right for you to explain why you tried to frame me and my men, Your Majesty.”
Reinhardt spat out coldly, his eyes clearly showing a warning, and Roxanne sighed.
“…Ha.”
Perhaps judging that it was difficult to question me further under these circumstances, she eventually turned her back on me after leaving a single word.
“Let’s save the answer for later.”
In the end, she leisurely left the courtroom without even looking back at the Emperor, who had fainted.

The day after the trial, I was summoned to the Imperial Palace. It was to investigate whether I had any intention of murdering the Emperor.
‘I guess it’s been revealed that I handed out the eggs.’
“I can’t let Irovel be in danger. I’ll stop it somehow, so please don’t respond to the investigation.”
Reinhardt spoke, immediately tearing up the summons as soon as he saw it. His face was terribly contorted as if he was angry that I was also involved in this.
“How are you going to stop it? If I don’t respond to the investigation, the Imperial Knights will come to arrest me.”
“I will not let them take you, even if it costs me my life.”
“I’m fine, so I’ll just respond to the investigation.”
“How can you be so sure, Irovel?”
“Because I dreamed last night that I would safely finish the investigation and come out of the Imperial Palace.”
Reinhardt looked at me with a surprised look. He must have wondered why I was so sure about the future just because of a dream, though I continued to speak.
“Do you remember when I saved you from the chandelier falling at the birthday party of Consort Ella?”
“I understand, but why are you suddenly talking about that…”
“The reason I was able to save you then was because I saw that situation in advance in a dream. I think since I’m a half-demon, I have the ability to predict the future.”
I didn’t bother to add that I couldn’t tell where the simple dream ended and where the future-predicting dream began. Since Lucia had also come out safely in the same situation, I was almost certain that this dream was a prediction of the future.
There was no need to make Reinhardt unnecessarily anxious by adding unnecessary words.
“Is that really true?”
“Yes. So please trust me. I will safely undergo the investigation and come out.”
“Even if your body is safe, your mind will not be unharmed, will it? I want Irovel to be completely unharmed…”
“My mind will be fine as well. The me in the dream came out safely on two feet, thinking about strawberry cake.”
After further persuading Reinhardt, I entered the Imperial Palace to be investigated, and I could understand why the me in the dream was thinking about strawberry cake.
“Y-Your Excellency, I’ve been looking forward to meeting you since I saw you in the newspaper… I’m so honored to meet you like this. If there’s anything you’re uncomfortable with while you wait, please let me know at any time!”
The place where the imperial knight, who was respectful to the point of being in awe of me, took me was not a dungeon filled with the screams of prisoners, nor a narrow and dark torture chamber…
It was a reception room with a gorgeous tea table filled with dainty desserts.
‘Oh. It’s strawberry cake.’
As I took a bite of the strawberry cake with my fork, the sweet and refreshing taste exploded on my tongue.
…A taste that I can’t help but remember again!
“You eat well.”
While I was absentmindedly picking up the strawberry cake, the Emperor, who had entered the reception room, sat down on the sofa opposite me. The many knights and servants quickly made way for the Emperor’s appearance.
No, it seemed as if they were giving way.
I looked back and forth between the atmosphere of the reception room, which didn’t match the investigation at all, and the Emperor’s face, who was smiling at me.
“Don’t make excuses about the investigation and ask me out on a date. I would have refused.”
“I really called you to investigate. Look at my face, doesn’t it look hurt? You have no idea how shocked I was yesterday.”
“Oh, I see. You must have been heartbroken because it was revealed that I tried to frame your husband.”
“….”
“It’s because you were the one who handed out the eggs.”
