Chapter 117
How to Make My Husband On My Side Episode 117
“...I’m not angry”.
“Then, are you upset?””
“Am I a 10-year-old kid?”
“Then why are you ignoring ?”
-Silence-
During the awkward silence that followed, Izek barely moved and only showed his wide back.
In any case, It seems like his personality doesn’t match his large stature.
With a crisp, popping sound, the snowballs struck his well built shoulders and scattered.
The blood-red eyes looking back at the source of the projectiles were truly frightening.
“What are you doing right now...”
puck (퍽) (sfx)
Oh, my. What will I do? You got hit right on your head.
White snowflakes coating his silver hair cascaded down.
While I was making another snowball, it seed that it took Izek a while to process what was happening.
Then, despite being initially stunned, he imdiately regained his composure.
Oh, what a spine-chilling expression.
“What the hell is this...”
Puck. (sfx)
“Don’t......”
Puck. (sfx)
“Ruby, don’t do it...”
puck. puck. puck. (sfx)
“Stop it!”
“If you’re angry, throw one back.”
“Wait a minute... Wait, wait! Self restraint is one of a paladin’s virtues!”
What is he talking about again? The more you get to know him, the more unusual he is.
Though he was obedient and compliant in the face of the Holy Office*, Izek also had a strong sense of vengeance, yet for so reason, he showed no signs of fighting back.
(*TL NOTE: “Holy Office” is a real entity. The Palace of the Holy Office is a building in Ro that’s property of the Vatican)
He just rushed to block it with his arms.
Aww, it’s not enjoyable anymore if it’s going to be like this...
“Looks like fun.”
I, who had just picked up the snowballs, and Izek, who had just wiped his eyes that were covered by them, turned our heads together.
On the receiving end of our gaze, a beautiful princess was standing there, wearing a thick shawl and showing a pleased expression.
“I didn’t know my brother could play around like that.”
For a mont, our eyes t.
Then Izek spoke up first.
“It’s possible if it’s sothing like this”
“Ellen, do you want to join?”
It was only natural that the relaxed expression on Elenia’s face vanished in an instant.
“...What? No, I can’t...”
Puck. (sfx)
Before the words could even co out, a massive snowball he threw at her shoulder burst open.
Izek groaned low.
“This is going to be fun.”
“What is this...! What are you doing brother? Are you crazy?”
puck. puck puck puck. (퍽. 픽 픽 퍽. ) (sfx)
The reserved attitude he had shown not long ago was nowhere to be seen, Izek was pelting snowballs rcilessly, at a pace that had long surpassed mine.
I’m getting a little worried about him.
It was then that Elenia, who had been shielding her white hair and had gradually sunk to the ground, suddenly lowered her arms that had been protecting her head.
Puck! (sfx)
Another snowball burst open.
“······Can I hit your face too?”
“Don’t even dream about it.”
puck. puck puck puck. (퍽. 픽 픽 퍽. ) (sfx)
My head was quickly powdered white from the series of snowballs thrown by Elenia.
All three of us were soon burning with the unprecedented spirit of victory and began to hurl a storm of snowballs at each other. Suddenly, I ca to my senses and it seed like Elenia and I were sohow aiming at Izek together.
“Hey, wait a minute! Where is there a wife who abandons her husband? Since when were you two so close?”
“You ignored first!”
“If you’re jealous, you should get healthier!”
“Where is there a person as healthy and strong as , pumpkin!”
“What’s that?”
Laughter filled the area.
I didn’t know exactly whose laughter it was.
And finally, after Elenia dealt a devastating blow, Izek collapsed to the floor and raised his arms.
“I lost, I lost. I was wrong for trying to win in the first place.” (Izek)
“You know that now?” (Elenia)
“You’re just trying to look good to Ruby (by aiming at ) since you haven’t had ti to get close to her...” (Izek)
“What do you an we haven’t gotten close? We ate shepherd’s pie together. One for each of us.” (Elenia)
Izek, who had been roughly shaking his snow covered hair, paused and looked towards .
Isn’t Elenia also looking back at with a cautious expression as well?
Oh, my. Since when.......
It’s clear what was happening, but they were also being blatantly obvious about it.
I stopped smiling.
“She’s right, that’s why it would’ve been nice for you to co ho earlier.” (Ruby)
“...Sorry.” (izek)
“This gentle attitude is unlike you.” (Elenia)
“What are you talking about? I’m a very kind person. I’m much gentler than that lizard.” (Izek)
What is this family even saying?
The guy who muttered those words confidently, smiled, pulled by the waist, and hugged .
Eleania, whose eyes had dimd like mine, shook her head.
“I’m getting jealous of the lizard...”
“You’re doing this because you’re jealous?”
“Did you know you’re really childish?”
“I didn’t know, madam.. Take this!”
“Kak········! What a cowardly move!”
“Kheham!”
A second round of another snowball fight had almost begun, but it was halted due to the intervention of an ill-tid cough.
As we turned our heads together while panting for breath, the scenery of the mansion at the break of dawn ca into view along with the witnesses who looked as if they were facing Judgnt Day early in the morning.
There was an eerie silence for a mont.
With the Orta Castle shrouded in deafening silence, the Duke, who had an incredulous expression, only said four words.
“Go in and eat.””
* **
It’s been almost half a year since I’ve lived here and this is the first ti I’ve seen such a sight.
Thus, it would have only been normal for to feel agitated.
But why were the servants, who must have spent a much longer ti here, incomparable to the length of ti I’ve stayed, have such quivering eyes?
“Weren’t you on probation?”
“I’ve been released.”
“Why?”
“The benevolent leader said he can’t live without .”
“Damn b*stard, paying attention to soone else’s son...”
“What?”
“I told you not to be so high strung”.
“Oh, damn it. Don’t talk about this in front of Ruby”
“Hmm, hmm!”
The more I see this father and son duo, the more peculiar they get.
Still, it is a much different atmosphere compared to the past when the release of dark energy could be felt even from a distance.
As for Elenia, she looked at the two pathetic n with eyes full of pity, but she didn’t seem to pay much attention.
In the past, even if she pretended not to be aware of her surroundings, she seed to be uneasy about sothing, but this is also an odd reaction.
“Father, stop eating. You said your hunger could never be satiated this morning.”
“Putting my hunger aside, were you the ones who’ve been playing outside since dawn?”
“......”
“Was it fun? I didn’t see any children around”
Elenia’s expressionless face flinched, and at the sa ti, the sound of Izek ruthlessly slicing a pig’s leg echoed with a thud. I carefully opened my mouth on behalf of the speechless siblings, sticking a spoon into the fragrant, intoxicating soup.
“Why don’t you join us next ti?”
“...My shoulders are perpetually sore. It especially aches when it snows.”
“I can give you a little massage after this.”
“Okay!”
Oh my, that’s a surprise I was just saying this for a laugh, but why was no one talking at the sa ti? It’s embarrassing.
Elenia, who hastily set down her glass of water, covered her mouth with her hand and turned her head.
anwhile, Izek barely coughed and stared at his father with burning eyes.
“Are you going to make her do that?”
“Cough, cough! Am I crazy?”
“What do you an?”
“Cough, hmm! Aren’t you trying to give a deeper aning to it? It’s pointless to do sothing like that.”
Well, I think everyone here feels extrely uncomfortable.
Have we ever eaten together?
It would make sense if I was the one at a loss of what to do now, but it seems that I’m doing the best out of everyone here.
I said nothing more and silently emptied the flavorful bowl of soup.
At the sight of fresh bread stuffed with olives and topped with a copious amount of butter, my appetite ca back and I took a sizable bite.
Wow, it’s so good.
The shepherd pie I had with Elenia was also good, but I didn’t know the butter here was impeccable.
The North is amazing.
“...do you like it?”
“Huh? The butter is exceptionally savory.”
“It’s yak butter.”
Is that so? But why aren’t you eating and just staring at ? Where did the usual beastly appetite go?
I opened my eyes wide. Izek seed to be thinking of sothing while he was watching eat, and he soon took the at stew from the other side and put it down in front of right after I finished the piece of bread.
“It tastes better if you eat it like this.”
“Like this?”
“Look, put it in here ·····.”
“I think it’s going to taste weird.”
“No, try it first.”
It was a little questionable but he’s not the kind of guy who would play around with his food, so I just followed along.
Then, he scooped up the mushy, buttery bread along with the stew and put it in my mouth.
“It’s so good······.”
“Right?”
I felt tickled seeing the triumphant smile.
I’m excited for so reason, but I also felt a little sorry.
What kind of appearance did I just show to a person who likes so much.......
“You should hurry up and eat too. Don’t just eat at all the ti now.”
“I got it.”
When I handed him a plate of stir-fried vegetables mixed with sausages, he unexpectedly handled the fork with care.
Well, he claid to be gentler than anyone else just a little while ago, so he can’t be criticized now.
“Hmm, hmm!”
“Did you cough again, father?”
Instead of responding to his daughter in law’s innocent question, the stern Duke started to attack his son’s difficult-to-cut pork dishes.
The bold action clearly bothered Izek, but for so reason, he kept silent.
