"What do you think they're doing in there? It's been two hours, but there's no movent," Sylphy asked Aisha, who was preparing breakfast for everyone. She sat on the dining table, boredom and impatience evident on her face.
Aisha replied casually, chopping vegetables, "How would I know? Haven't I been with them the whole ti?"
"But aren't you curious about what they're talking about for so long? I even tricked Waffle into going there and eavesdropping on their conversation, but he said he couldn't hear anything. he tried to open the door but it was also locked from the inside," Sylphy spoke with a frown, always suspecting Myne and Maya were hiding sothing serious from them.
Aisha shook her head. "No, I'm not curious, and it doesn't really matter. If you truly want to know what they're discussing, just ask them directly. You know Myne's personality; as long as you know how to make him happy, he'll spill everything easily.
Though there's a high chance more than half of what he says will be fabricated." She kept the last sentence to herself, knowing such knowledge was better left unshared, too many people knowing about it would only trouble Myne.
"Well, that makes sense," Sylphy conceded. "By the way, are you going first tonight?" She tilted her head, a hint of nervousness in her voice.
Aisha paused upon hearing Sylphy's question. Taking a deep breath, she spoke calmly, "Sigh, you can go first. I'm not in a hurry." Of course, this was a lie, one that even Aisha herself didn't believe. After all, being a woman, she naturally cared about such things the most. However, as the elder wife, she felt it was her responsibility to ensure everyone's happiness, even if it ca at a cost.
It is simply inevitable.
Sylphy jumped from her chair in excitent. "Great, thank you, Aisha! You're the best!" She embraced Aisha tightly and planted a sweet kiss on her cheek.
"You're interrupting my work. And there's no need for thanks," Aisha gently pushed Sylphy away with a shrug and continued her work with an expressionless face, as if not talking to her husband, who had been missing for a few months, and receiving comfort and praise she deserve from him wasn't a big deal.
"Haaan, hoo," Aisha exhaled deeply. "By the way, what did you find out from Ayri? You had that heart-to-heart talk with her, right? Who's the culprit then?" She asked, trying to change the topic so she wouldn't feel too bad.
"It was that b*tch nad Jenny. She's Ayri's personal maid. At first, Ayri was unwilling to talk to about it, you know this is the first ti she's tried to hide sothing from . But then I threatened to stop providing magic water, only then did she break down and tell everything.
It turns out that one day she went to call Jenny in her room, but she was taking a bath, so Ayri decided to wait a bit in her room."
"There, she found a book on her bed, and curiously, she started reading it to kill ti. However, she didn't expect that it wasn't a simple book, but an adult-content picture book filled with all kinds of dirty things. Naturally, Ayri beca curious, and when Jenny discovered it, instead of reporting it, she tried to manipulate Ayri and provide her with more such books.
As a result, Ayri learned things she shouldn't have," Sylphy explained, slamming her fist on the table in anger.
"What do you plan next then? I an, how are you going to deal handle this" Aisha inquired, despite not considering it a major issue. After all, Ayri would soon beco an adult and eventually learn these things one way or another, but considering her royal status and potential family plans, Aisha kept her thoughts to herself.
"When Myne cos out, we will go to the palace and tell Mother about this. With her character, there is a high chance that Jenny will likely face several years in prison, which is also the place she really belongs. Oh, and I will also show everyone that Myne is alive, delivering a tight (Imaginary ) slap on their faces. Except for Mother and Ayri, everyone had declared that Myne was dead.
It would be fascinating to see their surprised and shocked expressions. Hehe," Sylphy chuckled wickedly, rubbing her hands together while already picturing her father and brother's dumbfounded faces as if they'd seen a ghost.
"Indeed, they'll be quite surprised. I rember their faces when we said that Myne was alive and would return one day. At that ti, they looked at us as if we had gone crazy," Aisha said with a smirk.
"If you want, you can co along. We can enjoy that wonderful sight together," Sylphy offered cheerfully, but Aisha imdiately shook her head.
"There is no need. You know very well the reason why they tolerate and are willing to accept . But it is better for to have less contact with them. For them, I'm undoubtedly just a third wheel.
If not for your family being too kind and Myne's fist is hard enough, believe , if there were so other royal family, I would have vanished from this world long ago," Aisha remarked calmly as she removed the boiled eggs from the stove.
"Sigh, you are right, they are really very kind. I know the second princess of the Ketus Kingdom, and we occasionally et every few months or during holidays. She inford that after her marriage, she hadn't seen her father or brothers even once. Every ti she visits the palace to see them, the butler informs her that they are busy in etings or away.
While she did see her mother, she described the eting as more of an interrogation than a chat between a daughter and mother, now she had cut off all connection with her family."
" At least in terms of family, I'm truly fortunate, I get not one but two wonderful family. Although father and brothers are a little bit too much, deep down, I know they are just worried about ," Sylphy said emotionally, gazing at her wedding ring with a faint smile.
"Then you better cherish it. Not everyone has such a caring family," Aisha muttered as if she were talking to herself, with a hint of sadness and envy in her voice.
"Speaking of which, Aisha, I've never heard anything about your family. They didn't attend your wedding either..." Sylphy stopped abruptly as if realizing sothing. She looked at Aisha, who continued working as if she didn't understand what she was trying to say and was not even slightly affected.
"Don't worry, they are all healthy and happy, definitely more so than anyone you can imagine. They're just too busy and don't have ti to attend insignificant thing like wedding. It's not a big deal for big shots like them," Aisha said casually, covering all the dishes and wiping her hands on her apron.
"Breakfast is ready. Let's go see what they are doing. If they don't respond, then we have a valid reason to break into the bedroom now."
Sylphy, who was about to ask more about Aisha's family, easily gets distracted by Aisha.
"Yes, let's go. I am dying to know what they are doing." Sylphy nodded and quickly walked toward the stairs, followed by Aisha, who breathed a sigh of relief, seeing she had fooled Sylphy, which wasn't difficult given that Sylphy was never one to use her brain too much, except when she was too serious.
Knock-knock...
"Myne, co out. Breakfast is ready!"
Knock-knock.
"They are not responding," Sylphy turned to Aisha. "Should we break in? Mother-in-law won't be angry, right?" She asked, after not getting any response from Myne's side.
"Mother-in-law is not an unreasonable woman. Has she ever troubled you for no reason? Why are you so scared of her?" Aisha shook her head helplessly. During the ti when Myne was missing, Sylphy had locked herself in the room and only ca out when Maya called her.
Otherwise, Maya forcibly entered the room and dragged her out like a chicken, leaving no room for negotiation, which left a deep psychological shadow in Sylphy's heart.
"Sorry, but I can't help it. She is just too serious, especially when she stares continuously. The aura and pressure she exudes is no different than Waffle's mother." Sylphy replied nervously and moved away from the door.
"Sotis it's really hard to believe that you are a princess..."
"Ex-princess," Sylphy corrected imdiately.
"Yes, ex-princess. Sigh, I am surrounded by children in this family," Aisha rubbed her forehead in exasperation and took out the keys to the room. Thankfully, it was not locked with magic; otherwise, it's hard to say whether this door would have had to be changed.
Aisha put away the keys and opened the door. But upon seeing the sight inside, both she and Sylphy couldn't help but frozen in shock and disbelief at the sight before them.
