She opened her fan that was placed on the couch to hide half of her face as she didn’t wish her agitated face to be seen.
“I caught a glimpse of the handwriting of his highness’ secret letter. I felt that I knew that handwriting very well.”
Do you now? Then, it’s not me?
She only sent two letters to her husband. So, she thought that she wouldn’t recognize her handwriting that well.
If his highness thought that he was alright, he was naïve. Her husband’s eyes and hers met.
“What?”
“I wondered why Hermina-sama replied to his highness.”
Her fan fell on her hands.
He stood up, picked it up and gave it to her.
“Husband, you don’t need to do that.”
“I do it because I want to.”
“I don’t understand.”
She received the fan carelessly and put it in its original place.
“… I think being a dog was a good one.”
“What?”
“Have you forgotten my first promise?”
“You didn’t make any promises.”
“Yes, I did, to show my sincerity.”
“Oh!”
Come to think of it, her husband nodded when they first met.
“To show my sincerity, I’m going to be a dog or even a servant, right?”
“Yes.”
Her husband had his usual sweet honey smile on his face.
How could it be?
“Why a dog?”
“I hope you’ll love me.”
“Why—no, I don’t like big dogs.”
“Then, I’ll do my best to make you like me.”
She couldn’t understand why the situation has gone this far.
Where had the response of the prince gone?
She was going back to talk about sincerity.
“I’ve shown you my sincerity.”
“I haven’t shown you things yet.”
“You don’t need to show it.”
“Don’t say that.”
“Why did you suddenly call yourself a dog?”
“Your husband was jealous.”
“What?”
“Dearest Hermina, it seemed that your letter was in return for my failure to reply.”
“…”
After all, she thought about the reply. She didn’t miss to say.
“Did the famous handwriting happen to be mine?”
“Yes.”
