I Married the Strongest Magician - Chapter 20

What a frustrating woman!

She’s seduced my subordinates!

But…did she come here for that…?

No, probably not.

Then, why?

???

I just don’t understand.

Ever since I married her (though we haven’t had the ceremony yet), everything about her has been confusing.

It’s all new to me.

New experiences.

New emotions.

New feelings.

The cold-hearted magician everyone calls me is being completely humiliated… But, this might be the most human I’ve ever felt.

As I was thinking about this…

“Hey, Rolodroa.”

Captain Zen suddenly entered the room.

“You seem to be grinning about something, but…”

“I-I’m not grinning!!”

“That’s not what I’m here for.

Apparently, Lady Sarana is causing a fuss, saying she’s going to sue your wife, Cherie.”

Zen-san said that.

Sigh…

Another problem on top of another, it seems.

“I’ll handle Lady Sarana’s problem,”

I said, though I was already annoyed by the thought of it.

I couldn’t just leave someone claiming they were going to sue.

“Alright, I’ll show her in.”

Lady Sarana entered the room.

“Please, have a seat.”

I said politely.

“No, thank you.”

Lady Sarana replied.

“I only sit on leather or mink sofas, you see.”

Oh, I see…

For some reason, I found Cherie’s naivety to be endearing.

Not that it wouldn’t be cute, even if she wasn’t naïve, unlike this woman…

“So, you’re saying you’re going to file a lawsuit?”

“Of course!

She tried to kill the noble daughter of the Lysaria family!

She will have to pay compensation, or perhaps… end up in prison?”

Lady Sarana said, with a twisted smile.

“You’re saying you’ll sue… but what exactly did Cherie do?”

I asked, genuinely confused.

“I… I can’t believe you’re asking that!

She set my carriage on fire!”

“Huh? Do you have any injuries from that fire? Ah, don’t bother trying to cover it up with fire. The scars from magical flames are unique.”

“What…?

I-I have witnesses!

Someone must have been walking by at the time!”

“Oh, really?

When I asked around, everyone who was nearby testified that nothing happened at that time.”

“That… that’s not true!”

“Then at least bring your witnesses, and you’ll need to provide evidence.

Your carriage has no damage, and you have no injuries, so how do you expect your lawsuit to succeed?

You should think it over with that head of yours… You could end up dragging the Lysaria family’s name through the mud.”

Lady Sarana was furious, dragging her dress on the floor as she stomped out.
