How To Win My Husband Over Chapter 19

Episode 19: My Husband's Birthday Banquet

These terrible people.

As always, taking pain killers didn't help.

I had a hard ti and fell asleep. When I woke up, I realized a lot of ti had already passed. As far as I know, the banquet starts at 6 p.m., but it's already past 5 p.m.

If soone had co to inform to prepare for the banquet, they would have co sooner.

If the maid lied to , she could have told Ellenia that I was ill and was in no condition to attend the banquet.

It was true that I wasn't feeling well, so she didn't lie to her master.

Or maybe she just told the truth.

Either way, I couldn't stay still.

I had to check it for now. Fortunately, after a little sleep, my condition was bearable compared to before.

"Did you call, ma'am?"

First, I pulled the rope just in case, but sohow Lucille appeared imdiately.

She showed up so fast that I wondered if she was watching .

"Can you help ? It's already this late, and I have to hurry up and change."

"But, ma'am, I heard……."

Lucille, who had blurred the end of her words vaguely, looked at . No wonder she looked troubled.

It was not clear whether Isaac really intended to lock up in the room or if the head maid had ticulously told the maids below her after plotting with all of the servants.

What was certain was that even if the maid gave dicine, there wouldn't be many people on my side.

So I couldn't stay still.

I had to convince my bastard husband sohow. As long as he has shown any emotion, I have to catch the straw.

Let's just check first, just check…….

"I know. Just help get dressed."

"Madam, I……."

"I just want to feel better. I've been in my room for a few days, so I feel stuffy. Please?"

Lucille had an odd expression on her face, but as soon as I held out my diamond hairpin, she agreed to help change into my new suit and sneak into the garden.

* * *

I hid myself among the lilac bushes and tucked my embroidered handkerchief and letter into my long sleeves.

Phew, what the hell am I doing?

Being a big fan is really not for everyone. My lower abdon and waist were throbbing rcilessly, but it was tolerable.

I'll just peek, check the atmosphere, and then……. I'll give him this present and go back.

Still, it's his birthday, but as an interesting and passionate fan, I have to give a gift as a tribute

Regardless of the situation, I had to et him.

It was terrifying to wait impatiently for disposition in cold silence.

I didn't really eat anything for a few days, but I kept wanting to vomit.

I'd rather be beaten up, but this probation was hard to bear.

Rumbling, bang!

God, you really don't like , huh? Why is it that the rain suddenly cos out at a ti like this?

In an instant, the sky turned black and untily rain poured down.

I paused for a mont and wrapped my sleeves which had the gift tightly.

In order to avoid rain as much as possible, I chose the side where the trees were thicker and walked underneath, but in the end I still got wet.

It was fortunate that the dress was made of stiff lace.

As I approached the annex, I could hear noises coming from it.

The sound of laughter from the guests who had just arrived due to a sudden rain shower, the sound of cheerful jokes stating that the sky must have been angry because it's his birthday.

I hid behind a nearby juniper tree and peered into the banquet hall entrance

Flamboyantly dressed people were walking in, laughing, chatting and greeting. What makes others so happy?

Everyone went completely inside and I approached the stairs for a mont, staring at the empty space.

Hiding behind the pillar again, I peeked inside and saw a lively and luxurious party scene.

"……How hard I worked to prepare this gift."

"It's true that you really struggled."

"I hate you anyway."

"I told you milady, you don't need to be so nice."

"Why are you here?"

"This bastard really hates to celebrate here."

Chatter. A group of n and won were chatting happily down the stairs leading to the center of the banquet hall.

A couple of paladins wearing black armor today too and two ladies.

Familiar faces intermingled. It's sothing I feel every ti I see them, but they seem to have a great sense of pride as paladins.

Ellenia in an elegant blue dress, was escorted by the paladin, looked like a goddess, and so was Freya, who gracefully designed her pale blonde hair that went well with a pink dress.

She laughed and hit the silver-haired knight on the shoulder.

I could not see Isaac's expression because he turned his head, but he seed very happy.

I felt strange. It was like going back to that day in my high school days.

On the night of the dance party, I hid in the garden, abandoned by my partner and watched white students who were completely different from .….

The banquet hall door closed slowly.

Bang, the sound made wake up.

I should go back. It would be embarrassing to show up like this.

Besides, looking at the atmosphere, it didn't seem that the maid lied to .

Soon, the rain stopped.

I squatted behind the post for a while to soothe my sore back.

Let's go back. I think the present is wet and ruined anyway, and I can't give him anything like this. I can think of different ways.

Pfft, I shouldn't have worked so hard. It's my fault for forgetting for a mont how heartless he is.

Yes, no matter how an the head maid is, telling such a lie is too much.

I'll go and make a new plan for what to do in the future. If it's too late, I'll sneak it while he's sleeping at ho…… Is it too much?

"Achoo!"

I sneezed as I went back to the bushy road.

It's bad luck to have sudden rainfall. If I'm sick, I'm the only one who loses, but I unintentionally turned into a foolish bitch…….

Wait, is this the way I ca earlier?

Wake up, you idiot. I raised my fist and hit my forehead.

But I cried a little because I hit it too hard.

When I looked around while rubbing my forehead, I felt like I was walking aimlessly and went into the back of the building.

What are you doing loitering around alone?

I picked up my pace, hoping that no one looked out of the window in the anti.

As I turned around the corner, finding the way where I had co from, I bumped into sothing violently on my shoulder.

It hurts. What's wrong with today?

There was a pungent sll of smoke.

Is it the sll of a torch? I know it doesn't stop even when it rains.

I suddenly want to see Popo. Even though it's a monster that carries corpses in its mouth, there's never been anyone as kind to as that monster. It even put a leaf on my forehead so that I wouldn't bleed…….

"Madam?"

I kept walking without stopping.

I don't know who he is, but please forget my foolishness today. Phew, my back is about to break.

"Madam. Lady Rudbeckia."

He's a persistent man. If he just let go, would it hurt?

As I held back my irritation and turned my head, I could see a familiar face for so reason. Pale blonde hair covering the nape of the neck. Round, dark purple eyes.

Oh, it's him. I'm so unlucky today to get caught by him.

"Are you sick?"

I stared Lorenzo in the face for a mont. His face seed as if he was ridiculing .

What's so funny? Also why do this brother and sister co out everywhere I go?

"You can just curse."

"What?"

"You can just curse at comfortably. You can realize it from the mont you look at my appearance. You don't have to go through the trouble of singing like you did back then."

"What……"

It's funny how he pulls the corners of his lips like he's speechless.

He looked kind of embarrassed. Why are you doing this while you sang such a disgusting song? I blinked and smiled softly.

"What kind of misunderstanding are you having…… When did I ever……."

"It's okay. I know you don't like . I'm good at figuring out those kinds of things. Don't worry, I won't be greedy about anything and live as a dead rat."

My voice was blurred and my vision stinged.

What am I doing with this bastard? Apparently, because of Mother Nature's visitation, my judgnt was slightly lowered than usual.

They are useless crowds no matter what I say, but I really appreciate my acting skills that still managed to show as a harmless person instead of swearing in the middle of my rant.

Yes, look at as an idiot. Why don't you go tell your sister how insignificant I am?

I don't want to die.

I really don't want to die. I want to live. I can do anything to achieve that.

I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand and turned away from Lorenzo.

But then I saw sothing right in front of .

I thought it wasn't a welcoming mont.

Why are these n here? Obviously, until now, in the banquet hall…….

While I was briefly surprised by the unexpected scene, the proud Northern Paladins seed more surprised than I was.

It's kind of ridiculous to see each of them holding a leaf cigarette in their hand and staring at us with a frozen expression on their face.

Was that the real source of the pungent scent smoke?

In particular, Sir Ivan seed to be so much in shock that he didn't even notice that a cigarette was resting between his fingers.

Standing with a box of matches, Endymion took another shot and continued to strike a match that had already been burned black.

I know, I don't look good.

I'm embarrassed to death, but I think they heard everything I just said.

Ahh, a rat hole, a rat hole! If this is a joke, it's not funny to at all!
