The couple approached the carriage, after which the coachman imdiately opened the door. Derrick gently sat her down on the seat, but Judith was in the clouds. In fact, she had more rights and opportunities than Sylvia. Judith is truly beautiful, which imdiately conquered social circles and many hos. There was no door she couldn’t open. However, she did not have one thing – the love of her husband. This was what made him feel deeply defeated and desperate.
Weighing all this in her head, Judith herself did not understand why the re loss of Derrick made her so pathetic.
What kind of emotional ga is this?
Judith didn’t want to think that she was worse than Sylvia. Moreover, she never loved her husband, so his mistresses did not cause ntal discomfort, because the antipathy was mutual. Perhaps the demon’s possession of Derrick’s body made her feel a similar pain in her heart. However, although their appearance was the sa, the deceased husband could not be compared to the devil in anything.
Perhaps if Derrick was alive, the girl would try to get a divorce by all ans when she gets tired of it. With each new quarrel, Judith felt more and more disgusted with his person.
«Thank you for supporting –» she whispered softly.
She was actually pleased that the new Derrick behaved in this way. Previously, Judith had always seed like an empty place, but today everything was different. But Sylvia will never know why such a change has co. And the girl endlessly liked this secret.
«By the way –» Judith recalled, » what did you talk about with His Majesty?» Did he ask you sothing?
She had been waiting outside the room all this ti, so a lot of questions had accumulated.
«Why did he throw you out? Because you’re a woman?»
Judith couldn’t understand it either, but she was skeptical about the assumption that everything happened because of a gender trait.
«Unlikely. Most likely, he wanted to make sure that you really lost your mory.»
«Or she’s suspicious,» – he added.
«Unlikely…»
Judith, after living with him for a few days, discovered a lot of oddities in Derrick. However, the Emperor, even with his sharp eyesight, would not be able to notice this for only a few minutes. Now Judith could really relax and take a deep breath.
Undoubtedly, in the future we will have to face a huge number of problems associated with a miraculous resurrection, but at least now the couple could enjoy a corner of tranquility.
Judith was suddenly startled when Derrick touched her hand and kissed it.
«You know, he slled so bad.»
«What?» Judith didn’t understand what he ant.
«The Emperor.»
Anyone in the Empire was afraid to pronounce this title. However, Derrick not only turned out to be fearless, but also ntioned the man in this context. This seed surprising to his wife, so she decided to ask what he ant.
«I don’t quite understand?»
«The Emperor slls dirty and disgusting,» he repeated his thought.
Judith knew perfectly well that devils could sll people, and also that she slled wonderful. However, the fact that the Emperor slled terrible was amazing. The Duchess was interested to clarify the details out of curiosity.
«What exactly does it sll like?»
«I can’t explain it. I just know that you sll like sothing sweet, delicious. And he… This sll makes you feel sick, you want to wash yourself – «after a second of thought, he continued: «As I said, innocent people sll good. But the more murders you’ve committed, the worse the sll.»
Judith didn’t know of any scandals involving the Emperor. Everyone considered him a man with good manners, because he always behaved perfectly at official events. That is why, surprisingly, there were no bad rumors about him.
However, there must be so reason that the Emperor and Derrick were incredibly close. And such a bright person, as is commonly believed, simply could not coexist with such a person as her late husband.
Suddenly, the image of Sylvia popped up in my head again: what was she doing in the castle?
Undoubtedly, dozens of people co to the Palace every day, it was not sothing unique or strange. But still, she ca at the sa ti as the couple.
«You know, you saw that woman, right?
Derrick, who had bitten her fingertip, enjoying the process as if he was eating a delicious fruit, looked up. The pupil, which had turned distinctly red, shone strangely inside the dark car. He answered in the affirmative.
«I didn’t expect to see her at the Palace today.»
«Why not?»
«Well… this is the woman my husband loved.»
The woman my husband loved? Is there anything in this world that sounds more absurd?
Judith didn’t know what else to say, so she chewed the words in her head.
«I knew about her, but I’ve never t her… That’s why I feel strange – » she quietly lowered her eyes. The expression on Sylvia’s face when she saw Derrick ca back to her eyes.
Despite the fact that they were both nobles, there was a huge gap between Sylvia’s title and Derrick. Therefore, it is logical that she did not know about his miraculous resurrection. In addition, the mistress’s family lived far from the capital, trying to expand their possessions in the east, which is why even the most important news arrived late.
The man she had loved so much in life had been resurrected.
«So your husband was having an affair with a girl you didn’t even see?» He took a deep breath and touched Judith’s thin chin. She looked at him in confusion. «What was he thinking about, having such a wife?» Derrick’s face was not as playful as it had been. The Duke was completely serious.
The man looked at her very persistently, enjoying the beauty. Judith grew up listening to the praise of appearance throughout her life. Even in secular circles, ladies and gentlen talked about it. But despite this, her heart is full of doubts. It seed shaful to think of myself in this way.
Before she got married, many n tried to court, gave gifts and showed attention. But they were all very stupid and wanted to et only for the sake of status, and not because they really fell in love with Judith.
Moreover, although Derrick always showed mischief, his words sounded serious when it ca to the appearance or personality of the Duchess. Which made Judith feel embarrassed.
«I can sll you clearly, » he said again. His head was pressed against his wife’s neck. Derrick rubbed his nose, inhaling deeply.
This complint, although it was strange, still let Judith know that he was not indifferent to her.
«Do you understand? You’re perfect for .»
Judith felt a thrill and a tremor in the depths of her heart when he said this. It was pounding harder and harder, as if soone had grabbed it with his knuckles. The Duchess had never experienced anything like this in her entire life. My heart has never fluttered so much with anyone else. Derrick, who was watching her, suddenly laughed.
«Mada’s heart is beating so fast –» he chuckled again.
Judith thought again about the fact that he was not a human being. After all, a re mortal would never have felt and caught it.
«It turns on every ti… When the wife’s feelings beco stronger – » Derrick’s tone gradually decreased. Despite the strong noise of the shaking carriage, his voice went far beyond the limits of hearing, and the sll penetrated deep into the head.
Derrick took Judith’s wrist and licked her palm.
