The Beloved New Daughter-In-Law of the Wolf Mansion - Chapter 134
“Suddenly, you shapeshifted?”
Kendrick asked, narrowing his brows.
I kept nodding my head.
“That’s what I’m saying. Right?”
As I looked back at the other children and said, Arsene, Leona, and Cain nodded their heads.
“I mean, it happened right after Linsy went out for a while.”
“That’s right, I shapeshift at the same time.”
Cain responded to Leona’s words.
“You said you shapeshifted at the same time? Leon, you… no, it’s nothing.”
“Uncle, really. I said I also shapeshifted at the same time.”
When Kendrick gave Leona a suspicious look, Leona opened her eyes in a triangle and answered.
But Kendrick had reason to be suspicious of Leona.
This is because Leona used her powers to turn Cain into his beast form when she was ten years old.
‘Of course, it was possible because Cain grew up a little later than Leona at that time, so Leona was stronger than Cain.’
Probably not now.
Kendrick said he wanted to see if anyone else had experienced the same thing.
“Are you okay?”
Kendrick asked, looking at my physical condition first.
I nodded.
“Yes, it doesn’t hurt anywhere. Ah… the tail hurts, but that’s fine.”
It was because Leona stepped on my tail by mistake as she suddenly shapeshifted earlier.
Leona smiled awkwardly when she heard me.
“You too?”
“Yes.”
“Maybe? It doesn’t hurt, right?”
“Yeah, it doesn’t hurt.”
Arsene, Leona and Cain in turn.
“For now, it’s fortunate that there seems to be no problem with your body, but let’s look into it first. Perhaps…”
Kendrick blurred his words as if thinking deeply about something.
I blinked a couple of times and looked up at Kendrick.
“No it’s nothing. Go back for now.”
Kendrick sent us out, telling us to talk right away if we had any physical problems.
But,
As I stepped out of Kendrick’s room, I felt my vision go black for a moment.
‘Huh?’
Something black appeared on Arsene, Leona, and Cain’s faces.
‘What is this?’
I rubbed my eyes and looked back, and I saw nothing.
“Linsy, what’s wrong?”
Arsene asked, holding my hand.
I shook my head slowly.
“Eung? No. I must have seen it wrong.”
It looked similar to the black energy that I saw every time a person in a black hood appeared when I was young.
I don’t know because it disappeared quickly.
It disappeared so quickly that I didn’t even know what I saw.
So I couldn’t talk about it recklessly.
I might have seen it wrong.
Sometimes when I look at the wallpaper after seeing the sunlight for a long time, my vision goes black.
It could just be that kind of phenomenon, so I shook my head.
Kendrick called in the men of the mansion to see if they had experienced the same thing at the time that we had been shapeshifted.
But,
In the mansion, we were the only ones who suddenly shapeshifted.
“Only the four of us shapeshift?”
“How could it be… As expected, Leon.”
At Arsene’s words, Leona growled straight away.
“I said no, you fool. If I did it, would I have changed? Besides, you couldn’t shapeshift with my power.”
Cain, who stopped Arsene and Leona growling as if they were fighting at any moment, opened his mouth.
“But Sir Kendrick was going to say something earlier.”
“Eung, he did.”
“Doesn’t he know something?”
“I think so… but there are so many things he doesn’t tell us these days.”
I answered with a nod.
“No, it’s not that I want to know that. So I have a guess, but if he hasn’t told us, it might not be as big as you think.”
Cain said with a serious look.
“Is that so?”
Simple Leona quickly nodded.
“So let’s not worry too much. Let’s just think about the festival. Everyone has to go to the festival.”
Cain continued, shaking his head.
“Oh, please. I won’t go to the festival if you tell me to wear a dress.”
“You’re not going to the festival?”
Arsene snorted. Leona soon glared at Arsene again.
“Uh, do you know how upset I was when I was asked to wear a dress at the banquet the other day? I ended up wearing pants… Ah, they’ll tell me to wear a dress again at the festival.”
“Just put on your pants. From what I see… Sir Lamont must have given up on the idea of dressing you up in a dress now.”
I patted Leona on the back and cheered for her.
“What about you? What are you going to wear?”
“I’m… I’m going to wear it with Arsene, right?”
“Well, you’re a married couple.”
Cain nodded and looked at me and Arsene alternately.
I nodded.
“By the way, didn’t you say that you should divorce when you come of age, Linsy?”
Just then, Leona suddenly intervened.
“Eung?”
“No, it’s your birthday soon. Shouldn’t you decide now? Divorce with Arsene or stay.”
“That’s right, Linsy’s birthday is soon.”
Leona grabbed my hand with a twinkle in her eyes.
“If you divorce Arsene, you can live in my house. What I said when I was seven years old is still valid…”
“Don’t be ridiculous, Leona Fernando.”
Arsene hit Leona’s hand and grabbed my hand with an uncomfortable look.
“And why are you talking about that already?”
“What do you mean already? It’s not long before her birthday. Let’s say the festival is in two months… isn’t it Linsy’s birthday right after the festival? Right, Cain?”
“That’s right, you should attend the festival as a couple.”
Cain replied dryly.
Strangely, I felt strength in Arsene’s hand holding my hand.
Huh?
I rubbed Arsene’s hand with my thumb and tried to slip it out.
“Eung, maybe until the festival. If the festival is really going to be held…”
I blinked.
I’ve been thinking about divorcing Arsene lately, and it’s complicated in my head.
‘Where do I live if I divorce Arsene?’
Hmm.
In the past, there was a jewel button that I had collected to take with me when I left the mansion.
While growing up in a wolf mansion, I forgot all the thoughts related to divorce and couldn’t even remember where the buttons were.
‘It will be difficult in the wolf territory if we divorce… and the bird territory is also difficult. I’d rather be in deer territory…’
As Leona said, it didn’t seem bad to live in lion territory.
Of course I didn’t want to divorce Arsene.
‘Arsene needs to meet his partner.’
Isn’t it said that wolves have only one companion in their lives?
Therefore, the choice of companion had to be careful.
It means that I, who got married early at the age of seven against Arsene’s will, can’t become Arsene’s partner.
Of course, I wish I could continue to be Arsene’s companion—.
For generations, the head of the clan had to marry from the same clan.
It wasn’t like a rule or discipline, but—.
No.
‘The rules are right. It’s like an unspoken rule.’
Because it was a tradition for the heads of each clan to marry the same clan and succeed the generations of the clan.
So when Arsene and I got married early, it was only natural that the wolf clan wouldn’t be happy with me.
The only heir to the head family has a bird family as his companion.
It was an early marriage, so that’s how much it went.
‘Perhaps if we said we were really getting married, the opposition would be severe.’
It was clear that Yekhart’s senate, who loved me, would also object this time.
That means we are destined to divorce regardless of Arsene and my wishes.
I glanced up at Arsene.
‘He is almost healed now.’
Arsene had grown into a great heir, so the reason for me to stand by him gradually disappeared.
Perhaps feeling my gaze, Arsene lowered his head and looked at me.
Then,
Arsene tilted his head slightly and whispered carefully in my ear.
“I’m not divorcing you.”
“Eung?”
“Just keep it that way.”
As Arsene said that, his eyes softened into a half-moon shape.
Leona and Cain went back to the mansion after talking about the festival all the time.
After Leona and Cain returned, I washed up and lay down to go to bed.
And then, let’s look to the side.
Arsene was lying next to me with his back showing.
“Ar–sene.”
I clung to Arsene’s back and looked up at Arsene.
“Why?”
“You’re not going to divorce me?”
“Were you thinking of divorcing me?”
It was me who asked the question, but Arsene asked sharply.
“No, uhm… to be honest, I haven’t really thought about it.”
“Don’t be too honest next time.”
I burst into laughter at Arsene’s words.
“Okay, I won’t be honest. But Arsene. You don’t have to be with me anymore, right?”
“…What?”
Arsene slowly turned around and looked at me clearly.
Moonlight was pouring brightly through the window.
