Villainous Husband, the One You’re Obsessed With Is Over There - Chapter 86

Chapter 43.2

˚ ·: * ✧ * :· ˚

Weak and small animals perceived danger well.

Angelica’s eyes fluttered as she gazed at Raniero. She was so terrified that she couldn’t even get down on her knees or pray. At the same time, a shawl borrowed from her loyal handmaiden was wrinkled without mercy from her tight clasp.

As if she was about to faint at any moment, she caught her breath and struggled to smile.

“Didn’t Your Majesty go to see the spar?”

Her laughter, which she barely made up, was shattered in silence. Even though Angelica spoke in a trembling voice, she spoke as brightly as possible.

‘I just came back from a walk because I had a headache.”

Raniero beckoned to her.

She was afraid. Although her instinct was screaming to turn around and run away, her reason stopped her.

…It was because if she did, she would really die.

Comforting herself, Angelica took a step towards him. Raniero twisted his lips and smiled at his wife’s pale face and her white hands, pitifully clenching her shawl tightly.

“You’re scared. Did something bother you?”

The round, light-green eyes that gazed down at her toes turned towards him for a moment. Raniero, who was staring at her coldly with his chin on his hand, stopped for a moment,

A drop of water fell onto the tip of Angelica’s shoe.

Soon, drops of water constantly filled and pushed out of her large eyes. It was her tenacious survival instincts that helped Angelica survive to this day. While she wasn’t particularly smart or daring, her desire to survive was great.

With the determination that she couldn’t die, she would always, momentarily perform beyond her own abilities. Because of that, she sometimes didn’t know exactly what she was doing.

Her hands were trembling.

“Th-that’s just because Your Majesty is making such a scary face.”

Raniero’s intuition was great.

As he expected, she met Eden. Even though the reason for his displeasure was in a different direction, she also had conversations with him that should never be caught. Angelica was honest, and her expression revealed everything she thought.

In front of him, who sensitively grabbed the clues of her lies, her lies lost their power. However, right now, she was too cornered. The extreme fear made her lie to him, forgetting even the fact that she was acting herself. She was so desperate that everything he said was true in her mind.

Raniero closed his mouth and looked down at her.

Tears constantly flowed from her innocent eyes. As Angelica rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, her adorable front teeth bit her thick lips softly.

“Does Your Majesty, heukhik… doubt me?”

Her eyes turned red, and she turned her head away. She seemed more innocent than anyone else.

At the same time, it was a picture of him driving an innocent woman without guilt. The anger that seemed to swell and explode inside him turned into another emotion. In front of his wife, who gazed at him with her heavy tears dripping down, Raniero Actilus denied his judgment for the first time.

…He may have been wrong.

Was it not an overreaction to getting suspicious just because two people didn’t come to the same place at the same time?

Eyes? Did he not think a few days ago that such a thing didn’t matter?

Besides, apart from everything, it wasn’t something to be upset about, even if his wife liked that man.

Then, what was the problem…?

Raniero wasn’t jealous. How could humans be jealous of ants?
[ T/N: Yeah, right. Totally not jealous Raniero… (ㆆ ᴗㆆ) ]

‘If my wife wants to have him, she can have him as her plaything.’

It didn’t matter at all that he was a paladin because there was nothing the great son of Actilla couldn’t plunder.

Yes. That was all he had to do, and it was nothing.

As he raised his hand, his wife crouched and trembled when his hand came close to her neck. His hand fluttered in the air. With his gaze that was full of long pink hair that was about to tumble to the floor, he slowly knelt in front of Angelica.

It didn’t mean obedience, it was just to lower his body.

Even so, it was a posture he had never taken before. Raniero approached very slowly so that Angelica wouldn’t back down again in fear.

Even though she was terrified and trembling, she didn’t avoid his hand. It was also an act that her survival instinct had meticulously calculated. When his fingertips swept over the corner of her eyes, a damp tear hung from the tip of his thumb.

Angelica slowly opened her eyes as her pink hair fluttered haphazardly over her face.

“I, huek—I can’t lie.”

“….”

“Wh-what if I get caught? That’s too, heuk, too scary.”

Right.

Everything she thought was revealed on her face, and she was absurdly weak.

Raniero, still without a word, placed his arm between her underarms and pulled her little body closer. As if burying her in his arms, he embraced her and soothed her frightened and weak existence.

“Yes. You’re right.”

“Sniff… Your Majesty isn’t angry?”

When Angelica carefully inspected his countenance, Raniero let out a long sigh. He was angry. Of course, he was angry. However, if he said that, she would be scared again so he told her what she wanted to hear.

“I’m not.”

Only then did his wife exhale quickly while digging into his arms, and soon, her cries gradually subsided as well.

…Angelica tricked Raniero.

Without the two of them even knowing, there was a small reversal in their relationship.
