Count Northpole stopped Hydrangea who was about to leave to ask him about some more questions.\n
âUmm, about decorative wife, is there any reason that?â\nâThatâsâ\n
Although it was a circumstance that he did not like to talk about, Count Northpole seemed to be a very cautious man. It would be better to talk about it frankly. He decided that it would be better to tell him about the troubles he had with women since he was young.\n
ââ Thatâs why I hate women. I wanted a partner whom I could make a temporary marriage so that I wouldnât have to get involved in any more troublesâ\nâI see. So that was the reasonâ\n
He understood that it could not be helped if that was the case.\nCount North Pole also seemed to had something to say.\n
âI have something to say, actually, Iâm expecting my first child in six monthsâ\n
Violette gave her blessing, but it appeared she said she would take this opportunity to leave home and work at the monastery.\n
âMy wife and my sister get along well. But, uh, maybe she felt uncomfortableâ\n
Besides, if the child was a boy, he could not be held in her arms. In addition, itâs probably not normal for an aunt to be a cat.\n
âViolette told me that she didnât want my unborn child to feel indebtedâŚâŚâ\nâI see. Even though cat has no sinsâ\nâEh?â\nâNo, itâs nothingâ\n
Anyway, he will tell him he wonât make things worse. Then, Count Northpole rushed to Hydrangea and held his hand, and then he immediately got down kneel down on the floor and pleaded.\n
âI have three requests!â\nâPeople usually only ask for one thing at a time like thisâ\nâI am sorry!â\n
It was the sincere wishes of a brother sending his little sister off to be a bride.\n
âAs you have just seen, my sister has been under a wretched curse that has kept her from going outâ\n
It seems that Violette, who was very active as a child, was sick of spending time inside the house and often threw tantrums.\n
âWe could do nothing but accept her angerâ\n
They felt sorry for her, and it seems that they had to fulfill all of Violetteâs selfishness.\n
âS-So, Violette was brought up to be so selfish, and she, uh, she assumed that all men in the world would listen to anything she saidâ\n
Apparently, Count Northpole had raised Violette in a spoiled environment.\nEven her late father had granted all of her selfishness except for teaching her magic.\n
ââŚâŚâ\n
In other words, there was a possibility that she would be just as selfish with Hydrangea.\n
âI would like to ask you to listen to Violetteâs selfishnessâ\nâWhat do you mean by selfishness?â\nâLike asking you to pick up a rare flower that grows in the wild, or she wants the autograph of the top star of a popular troupeâ\n
Count Northpole seems to have fulfilled all of her wishes.\nIt means, she would never say anything that couldnât be fulfilled, such as defeating the Demon King or finding the Holy Sword.\n
âSo, I hope Duke Laudense could listen to my sisterâs selfishness, even if it was only once in a whileâ\nâWhy should I listen to that woman? Since I have servants, Isnât it fine to ask them to do it for me?â\nâW-Well, yes, but just to be sure, I will tell youâ\n
The second request was absurd.\n
âI hope that in the future, when the Duke Laudense has a lover, you will not treat Violette coldlyâ\n
He finally drank the tea that had been brought to him and choked.\nItâs impossible for him to ever have a lover in his life. When he said that, the Count Northpole looked relieved.\n
âMy last request isâŚâŚ please, could you dote on my little sister?â\nâWhat?â\nâI know she is a bit selfish and cheeky, but she is my cute and lovely little sister. I hope you will take good care of herâ\n
These were the three wishes of Count Northpole.\n
âI canât say that I will grant any of them in this place. But I have listened to your wishesâ\nâThank you. That, well, you may change your mind as you live togetherâŚâŚâ\n
I donât know about that. He swallowed such cold reaction before it left his throat.\nCount Northpole was still holding his hand, so he pulled it out quickly and go home this time.\n
âUmm, thank you so much!â\nâI didnât do anything to be thanked forâ\nâNo. I think itâs the best marriage for my sisterâ\n
The best marriage. Is there such a thing?\nIn noble marriages, the feelings of both parties are ignored. It is a ceremony to create a connection between the families.\n
Therefore, it is not uncommon for couples to quickly have children and live apart.\nA harmonious couple probably is a rarity in noble society. Most couples have a lover.\n
What kind of couple would they be?\nHe had no idea.\n
He thought as he walked down the chilly, and dimly lit hallway of Count Northpoleâs house.\nThis is not the kind of environment in which a child should grow up.\n
For now, he would deliver firewood when he got home. While he was thinking about that, he arrived at the front door.\nAs he put on the cloak he received from the old butler, he hear the footsteps of a small being.\n
âGreat! You hadnât left yet!â\n
A cat with golden furâ Violette had come running.\nThat form was elegant and lovely.\n
Her beauty almost made Hydrangea dizzy.\nWhen he looked at her once again, he had never seen a cat as beautiful as Violette.\n
His mind was rosy, but the words that came out of his mouth were really cold.\n
âWhat do you want?â\nâUmm, youâre going to teach me magic when we get married for real, right?â\nâIt depends on your willingnessâ\n
Violetteâs eyes were sparkling and her tail was wagging softly.\nShe must be very happy.\n
âMerry, could you pick me up and take me to Duke Laudense? I want to give my thanks and say goodbyeâ\n
A young maid called Merry holds Violetteâs body and takes her to Hydrangea.\nShe was a short maid, so Violetteâs body was far below him.\n
âDuke Laudense, could you bent down a little?â\n
Violette asked arrogantly. Her selfishness immediately came out.\nHe bent down as she requested, fulfilling her wish just for today.\n
âI thank you for coming here today. Also thank you for courting meâ\n
Violette thanked him in an admirable manner. He thought that was surprising.\nHer surprising act continued after that.\n
âI hope you wonât forget that you will teach me magicâ\n
After saying that, Violette leaned forward, put her paw on Hydrangeaâs arm, and kissed him on the cheek.\nThe touch of her fluffy fur made Hydrangea widen his eyes and speechless.\n
âFufu. Farewellâ\n
It was frustrating, but Violette, the cat who greeted him while wagging her tail was the cutest in the world.\n
