Villainous Husband, the One You’re Obsessed With Is Over There - Chapter 119
Chapter 60.1
Cisen opened the note.
We will be fleeing the Empire in December. ← Inform Eden of this.
We must move with Eden when fleeing. He’s a colleague.
Communicate the need for a liaison.
Her heart sank at the scrawled writing. In particular, the second line caught Cisen’s eye for a long time.
Was she planning to run away from the Empire? Why all of a sudden? So far, her master has been adjusting well. In addition, It was obvious to anyone with eyes to see how much the infamous emperor cared for her master.
The summer solstice and defending herself, obviously … it was undoubtedly harsh on Angelica. If her master had cried, saying that she couldn’t do it anymore and asked to leave then, then she might have understood. But after trying so hard to fit in, she finally got stability with her hands… yet leaving after getting what she aimed for?
For Cisen, her master’s decision wasn’t understandable at first glance.
Fearing that someone might see Angelica’s note, she immediately swallowed it and destroyed it before heading to find Eden. The paladin, looking very tired, took one look at Cisen and, without surprise, led her to a secluded spot.
“That’s great. I’ve been wondering how to reach out to her.”
He must have already guessed that Angelica would reach out to him.
Cisen was confused.
Regarding this man, what her master had said before and what she had confided in now were different. She expressed that she contacted him out of curiosity about the Saint of Tunia, but now he was her colleague to run away with…?
‘Why, for what reason, did she choose this guy to be her colleague?’
It was full of things she didn’t understand.
Even more so, Eden’s seemingly calm and natural demeanor added to the confusion. Still, Cisen held out the book to Eden, barely resisting the urge to spill the questions.
“It was taken from the old sanctuary, and Her Majesty told me to return it to the temple.”
As he narrowed his eyes and opened the book, his hand stopped as he turned the page. Contrary to his delicate face, his gnarled hands pulled out a note that must have been written by Angelica.
At first glance, it seemed that the contents of the book were all blank.
The book was blank, even for Eden. However, the note left by Angelica revealed what this book was.
Check the author’s words.
Even though he tried to check the author’s words, there was nothing he could do because the book was a blank slate to him as well.
He closed the book.
“I’ve received the book, but could you tell your master that the contents are blank?”
“Wh-what is your relationship with Her Majesty?”
As Cisen asked in a confused manner, Eden frowned and gazed at her.
“It’s not an unfaithful relationship.”
“Her Majesty…”
Cisen’s voice dropped abruptly.
“She’s planning to run away with you… in December.”
“Hm?”
As Eden’s eyes grew round, Cisen’s stomach felt as if it was about to explode. A few seconds later, his assessment was even more tepid.
“I guess that’s what she decided. I honestly thought she was going to gamble on staying with the Actilus.”
On the day he asked if she would stay, Eden could clearly see that Angelica was shaken. She seemed to have some affection for Raniero. Even though he didn’t quite understand how that could be, Eden didn’t try to persuade or convince her. ‘I see,’ he just thought so dryly.
“It’s probably a good idea for her to leave. She made a good decision.”
Saying so, he recalled the words on the door.
…When Actilla’s blood is ready, use Tunia’s sword to open it. Eden decided to pass the note after learning more about the identity of the ‘Sword of Tunia.’ Besides, he also wanted to talk to Angelica directly, not through Cisen.
Meanwhile, Cisen snapped back low and fast as if in frustration.
“She was adjusting well to the Empire. Her marital relationship with His Majesty the Emperor is also good.”
“For now, that is.”
“For now…”
Eden rolled his eyes.
No matter how much he thought about it, he didn’t think Angelica would have even mentioned the world in the novel or being possessed. In the end, he decided to evade it roughly to the point where it was generally understandable.
“There was a prophecy.”
“Prophecy…?”
“It’s a prophecy that the Emperor will kill your master and me.”
Cisen’s body stiffened.
Eden took out the paper he had in his sleeve and gave it to her. While Cisen took it and tucked it into her sleeve as well, she continued to push him.
“Which god made such a prophecy? Was it the God of Tunia?”
There was a strong expression that Angelica wouldn’t believe such a thing painted on her face.
“It’s not the God of Tunia. Think of it as a revelation that she and I both received from completely different beings almost at the same time.”
“Oh, my God…”
“When the paladins of Tunia went to Actilus, your master recognized me. She, too, received a revelation.”
Eden was a much more level-headed and improvisational person than Angelica. He improvised an explanation that Cisen could understand.
“That’s why she reached out to me.”
“….”
“In other words, it’s like a community of destiny. In fact, to some extent, she must have considered the possibility that she might escape the prophecy.”
“….”
