To Help You Understand - Chapter 22

Winter said, determined to cut Flip off before anything else.

“How difficult is this massaging? I was a person that has never done this before.”

“Is that so?”

For three years of marriage, he tried to hide the fact that he worked as a servant when he was young, but after Violet found out, there were surprisingly many places to put it back. *** Read lasted Chapter at website Zinnovel.com Only ***

As Winter poured expensive perfumed-oil into Violet’s feet, Violet said.

“Flip didn’t pour that much.”

“I have my way.”

Winter had a temper and grabbed Violet’s feet, which were dripping with oil, with both hands. And Violet trembled when he pressed his thumb on the back of her foot and rubbed it.

She didn’t understand what he was doing, but it hurt more than anything else. Flip carefully massages her feet for fear of a very slight impact on her feet, but Winter pressed Violet’s feet and calves with his strong hands. Without being able to say anything, Violet just bit her lips and endured the pain.

Winter, who was massaging hard, felt something strange about Violet’s red feet and saw Violet. Winter narrowed his eyes and asked when he saw tears rolling in her eyes because it hurt so much.

“Does it hurt?”

Violet nodded a little, and Winter said.

“Then you need to say it.”

“It’s hard to say that to someone who works so hard…….”

It’s not that it’s not, but it didn’t seem as simple to massage women’s feet with his big build.

He, who overdid anything, poured almost a whole bottle of oil, causing the smell of jasmine to vibrate throughout the room.

Winter, who somehow finished massaging, brought slippers and put them on Violet. As she stood up from her seat, her fluffy feet were slippery and her slippers immediately came off.

No matter how calm Violet was, she muttered to herself in a small voice that sounded a little bit upset.

“Why did you ask Flip to leave?”

“…….”

There was nothing to say.

Winter picked up the slippers and knelt on the floor. And he looked up and saw Violet.

She was looking down at him with slightly more emotional eyes than usual.

As Violet lifted her foot a little, Winter grabbed Violet’s ankle with one hand and put on slippers with the other. His arm strength was so strong that Violet wore slippers almost without stumbling.

Winter suddenly recalled the eyes of the nobles he hated the most in the world when he saw his wife looking down at him. The eyes that made his eyes look humble.

Violet’s eyes were more intense than anything he hated. From head to toe, it was an elegant and perfect look that seemed to dominate from the moment she was born to the moment she died.

Because of that look, he thought he might have wanted Violet to collapse and fall into his arms.

‘Just don’t do anything. Just live helplessly in the kingdom I created.’ He unknowingly thought so.

Are there feelings more intense than hatred? What the hell is this feeling?

Is it a greater hatred?

Violet opened her mouth first when Winter grabbed her ankle even after wearing slippers.

“So what brings you here?”

“Ah.”

Only then did Winter raise his body and open his mouth.

“I told my parents about moving out yesterday.”

“Yes.”

“My parents didn’t seem to like it.”

“…….Ah.”

“But as you said, it’s true that it’s hard to get in and out, so I said I’d get a place in the capital. I’ll find a house in the capital soon, and when I have to stay in the capital for months, you can go and stay there with me. I’ll think about moving out completely afterward.”

Violet, who had darkened her eyes because she thought it meant she couldn’t move out, belatedly understood what he meant and asked.

“Really?”

“Yes, you choose the house. I’ll only sleep anyway.”

“It’s okay to stay at the hotel.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. The capital city is a place where parties are much more frequent than here. It’s hard to hold on without being invited and hosted like you.”

She didn’t care about the hotel or the house. Either way was good. She thought she would be happy if it was guaranteed only one month a year, but it was more than that.

Violet, who expressed joy with a faint smile, soon recalled Winter’s words to express joy more clearly.

However, it was unimaginable to jump around as he said. Violet took a step toward Winter. Then she leaned her head in his arms in a very awkward position.

“Thank you.”

“……What are you doing?”

She tried so hard on the other side, but when Winter was completely stiffened, Violet thought that she had made a mistake and took a step back.

“You told me that you didn’t know if I was really happy.”

“So?”

“It’s an expression. If you don’t like it, I won’t do it from now on.”

Winter snatched her waist when Violet pressed down on the embarrassment and spoke calmly. Then Violet looked up at him with a rather rigid look.

Even when he closed his eyes and opened his eyes, his face gave off a strong feeling. He has a sleek nose, closed lips, and a straight forehead with eyebrows that look fierce even when you look at them separately.

His eyes, which he still believed to symbolize poverty, were overflowing with the arrogance of successful people.

Violet asked.

“Are you angry?”

“I’m not this calm when I’m angry.”

“……Ah.”

Violet was quieter. But when Winter just looked at her, she finally spoke again.

“We were invited to lunch. We’ll be late.”

“You can be late.”

“A gentleman is never late for an appointment.”

“Where the hell am I a gentleman?”

“Why not? You’re the eldest son of the Blooming family.”

“Every time I said that, the nobles looked at me with their bunny eyes as if I was lying. You’re gonna have to eat in the slums. How can a cub use a silk hat?”

“That’s not true.”

“Right. It’s because you can’t see that look in their eyes.”

“I saw it when we changed bodies. It’s really not like that. They were not underestimating you, they’re afraid. They’re trying to press it down because they’re afraid. If you’re not a gentleman, they’ll laugh at you behind your back.”

“…….”

“You can make others afraid, even without being arrogant.”

Winter, who listened to her quietly, soon snorted.

“That’s why our princess can always be so humble like this.”

“We’re not talking about me.”

“Anyway, it doesn’t change the way you say things you don’t know. Speaking of which. Last time you said you’d change your body with mine, right? There’s a day I want you to change it soon. If you go there, you’ll know what I mean.”

“Where is that?”

“Canthus Monastery. I’d like to have that wine exclusively in the hotel, but it’s not usually high in the nose.”

“Then on the first Sunday of September, there was a party to sponsor Cantus Monastery.”

Violet nodded and jokingly said as if she knew what she meant.

“It’s full of people who make easy things difficult.”

Winter burst into laughter at her words without realizing it. Violet quietly laughed along, thinking that the moment Winter smiled was unrealistic.

“Okay, then I’ll change my body that day as an example of a story about moving out. Let’s go together.”

“Good. Then get ready to go out.”

Violet nodded and walked, but she stumbled a little bit as if her feet were still slippery. When Winter picked up Violet and took her to the dressing room, she was surprised.

“I can walk now.”

“I know.”

Winter answered back and took a step. He soon put his wife down in front of the dressing room and turned on the light.

“By the way, why on earth are you wearing such a black dress? You don’t do that in the capital.”

When asked by him who knew nothing, Violet looked at Winter, thinking where she should start.

She asked after a while of agonizing.

“Would you like to go?”

“What?”

“On Saturday, your mother will have a small tea party in the garden. She didn’t do it because it’s hot during the summer, but she started again when August came to an end. She changed it a day earlier on Saturday…… of course not if you’re busy then. If you’re not busy, go there once in my stead.”

“I said I’d go to the party with you, I didn’t say I’d go alone. In the first place, what does it have to do with your black dress?”

“I’m saying this because it matters. Anyway, think about it. Then I’ll get ready.”

After Violet finished talking, she entered the dressing room and closed the door.

Left alone in a quiet space, she was lost in thought for a moment.

With this trip to the capital, she thought that her husband’s words that he didn’t hate her might not have been a lie.

After accepting her request to move out, she was a little excited about her husband.

She had an expectation, that maybe if her husband went to the tea party in her body, he may recognize her loneliness.

Maybe, if only her husband recognizes her heart, she’ll be so afraid of death.

Violet thought that she might never be able to change her body with him again.
