My Husband Who Abandoned Me Suddenly Became Obsessed With Me - Chapter 7

Sihon could bury the woman and her family if only he had the evidence to prove it.

Sihon returned and directed his vassals to perform some secret inquiries.

The identity and whereabouts of every woman touched by Marquis Kyle Amaranth 18 years ago.

Whether or not a girl named ‘Lydia’ vanished from the Ilios Empire, including the Marquis of Amaranth.

A record of every doctor or priest who has treated the young marquess of Arwen Amaranth in the last six years.

But, after all, the Marquis Amaranth didn’t let the work be done poorly.

It was difficult to find evidence that the woman now posing as the young marquess of Amaranth is a ‘fake.’

If he questioned his fiancee’s origins without providing evidence, he would face backlash, with people saying, ‘He doesn’t want to marry an enemy family, so he slanders the marquess.’

Therefore, the matter had to be treated with caution, gathering evidence until the wedding.

As a result, Sihon devised a few “second plans.”

Before his return, the woman claimed that the Marquis of Amaranth had abused her and that she had no feelings for the family.

If that’s true, she must be going through hell right now, for she was submissive to the Marquis of Amaranth before marrying.

It wouldn’t hurt to propose to a weak woman, ‘I’ll help you escape,’ and compel her to leave the marquis.

However, the only thing he can help is a secret escape.

After that, it was none of his concern whether the woman was going through a difficult time in her life or was worried about being caught.

In its way, the marriage was tolerable.

Even though she approached me before being poisoned, he did nothing well, other than turning away numerous times.

So, with the goal of giving her an opportunity to break the vicious cycle with her own choice.

Sihon will be considered dishonorable if he does not accept the offer since he breaks up the marriage by accusing her of disqualification.

No matter how hard he tries to consider unfavorable circumstances, it is critical that he should not enter into a marriage with her.

The thought of marrying the woman who had murdered him gave him shivers.

Nothing has happened now, but there is no way to prevent it from happening again.

Sihon unexpectedly paid a visit to the Marquis of Amaranth, thinking about the number of such occurrences.

Employees were taken aback by his surprise, as expected, and dragged the time as if they were trying to correct something. Anyone can see that this is a questionable situation. Sihon defied the employees and opened the door for the young marquess.

Half was the plan.

First of all, to attack the scene before concealing the circumstances of the abuse in the marquis.

And I am curious about the face of the woman who is currently innocent but will kill me in the future.

He was prepared in advance that her appearance, and behavior will be poor because she had experienced domestic abuse within the Marquis. And I reasoned that even if it came true, I wouldn’t mind.

Because my partner is the lady who murdered me.

‘I have no pity for you,’ he thought as he cautiously looked at the open door.

The young girl’s emerald eyes, which were shivering with terror, met his own at that very instant.

It was a meeting between a young man with memories of a previous life and a defenseless girl.

 ***

Lydia and Duke Sihon Blair have reached an agreement.

The Duke of Sihon Blair agreed to help Lydia escape the Marquis of Amaranth safely in exchange for Lydia cooperating so that he could break the marriage officially without disobeying imperial orders.

As a weak person, I had no choice but to be a little irritated because it was an unexpected fortune.

Lydia asked cautiously, not wanting to offend him. When will I be able to get rid of the marquis?

I wondered if there was anything difficult if only one person disappeared.

It was just that, while Lydia was away for a time with an acceptable excuse, the Duke of Blair had to avoid the marquise’s entourage who were after her, and gave only the wagons required to get out of the capital.

Lydia had only expected that kind of assistance from him in the first place.

Sihon, on the other hand, seemed to want to accomplish more than that.

‘It may sound harsh, but if you flee now, your life will be tossed into the mud.’ A child abandoned in the world without a guardian is easy prey. Wouldn’t you rather have a wretched existence for the rest of your life as a result of being caught by traffickers or pimps?’

‘What shall I do then?’

‘I’ll build you a mansion in the capital.’ Find a means to become financially independent after moving. ‘Any books or tutors you require will be provided.’

‘Why are you so generous…… No, if I don’t leave the capital, I’ll be discovered shortly. If I’m caught, my father will not let me go.’

‘It’s not going to happen. You’re not sneaking away, you’re going out with me proudly.’

I didn’t grasp what he was saying at the moment.

Marchioness Maeve Amaranth will be thrilled if Lydia disappears on her own.

In truth, the Marchioness punished me merely because I was annoying to look at. I wouldn’t say she’s a bad person to keep an eye out for.

Marquis Kyle Amaranth, on the other hand, was different. He was the type of person who wants to utilize whatever he could get his hands on as a tool.

An illegitimate child out of his control would be unbearable for such a father.

Even if Lydia sneaks away, he would send a rage-filled hunt after her, making it even more absurd to support Lydia knowing she’s leaving.

But, once again, Duke Sihon Blair appeared to have different plans.

After he unexpectedly visited the Marquis, Sihon invited Lydia and often began visiting the Duke of Blair.

The stated reason was that the Duchess of Blair, who had recently lost her husband, was a potential match, and he wanted her prospective daughter-in-law to pay her a visit and be a friend.

The Marquis of Amaranth, who wished to sell her daughter to the Duke of Blair, naturally accepted it.

Meanwhile, Duke Sihon Blair was uninterested in the girl, so he was concerned that the marriage would be called off in the middle, but I’m delighted they’ve gotten closer recently.

However, Sihon did not accept him as a potential father-in-law.

Rather, the Marquis would be unaware if he and his wife were planning to gradually cut the Marquis’ neck.

Lydia went to see the Duke of Blair as usual, donning her shawl and gloves.

***

Sihon, a doctor’s assistant, and a priest greeted me as I entered the Duke’s room.

Sihon exchanged glances, as the two women stood up and welcomed one other.

“Lady Arwen. How do you feel today? “Are you eating properly?”

It’s just a welcoming atmosphere for guests.

When I went to see an acquaintance’s mansion, I was surprised to see a doctor and a priest waiting for me.

Besides, they’re doing their best to look after the guests. It was an unusual sight.

Lydia, on the other hand, had become acclimated to the circumstance.

Lydia smiled softly and sat down on the bed, which was encircled on all sides by a canopy.

“yes. I’m perfectly fine. I enjoyed tea and biscuits in the morning while learning proper manners from Viscount Maiya Joen.”

“morning? What time is it right now? Is that a meal, rather?”

He pointed out that they were not the same as soon as the words ran out.

Cardinal Eloise secretly glanced at him with a sharp tone.

‘It will be better if you speak nicely.’

The Duke of Sihon Blair wasn’t saying it in a terrible way, but he had an odd ability for making listeners uncomfortable.

Lydia responded bluntly with an uneasy smile.

“As you can see, I’m still alive. I’m perfectly fine. The noble young people are always in the news…”

“Yeah, I’m still young, so I won’t die.”

A bloody remark, as if he understood how to get hooked all at once as he grew up.

‘Do I still have to say it to a weak girl?’ I can’t even close my mouth.’

Dr. Veronica Deluxe sharpened her teeth this time. The view was then blocked by a canopy.

A dry voice abruptly fell at that moment.

“If you don’t have any other plans after that, come over for supper.”

“Ah yes.”

Lydia nodded in a daze.

The Duke of Sihon Blair has recently begun to show a pattern.

He asked for something, acted as if he didn’t like it, and then unexpectedly provided a favor.

I’ve gone through this routine several times, yet I’m still not used to it.

It was none other than the fact that Sihon’s demeanor appeared to be strange somewhere.

He obviously looked after me and provided me with something. It could be called ‘grace’ to a powerless Lydia.

Sihon, on the other hand, felt no warmth.

Even with arrogant signs, there was no genuine concern for the other party or even sympathetic pity.

I would simply describe it as auto-reflexive and mechanical as if correcting a certain incorrect phenomenon.

It’s the equivalent of mending a chair with a broken leg and sprinkling water on a fire.

I had no reason to reject, so I accepted his assistance, but I felt uncomfortable.

He doesn’t like me or cares about me, so why is he so worried that he can’t accomplish the simplest of tasks?

Lydia was deep in concentration as Eloise and Veronica stripped off her clothes and examined her physique.

The essentials are the face, back, arms, and legs, as well as under the chin, behind the ears, between the hairs, beneath the fingernails, and even the crevices of the fingers and toes.

The two women didn’t leave anything out and confirmed all they had guessed.

“Have you recently been hit hard on the head, collapsed, and treated?”

“The Marquis yanked her hair and knocked her against the wall… … . Because it was such a large accident, it appears that the temple immediately took action. It was a week ago, but it seems that Cardinal Yeha is aware of such a thing.”

“Traces do linger after using divine power.” According to the fact that she has been cured pretty well, it appears that the high priest has succeeded.”

“I have a splinter in my upper arm and wrist.” I believe it was done some time ago because the marks are still sharp. Is that correct?”

“yes. yesterday… “

“Did the burn mark on your thigh happen at the same time?”

“yes.”

Uncomfortable questions and answers came and went several times.
