My Dear Husband, Let's Keep It Business-Like! ~Countess Anastasia, Raised in The Downtown, Won't Give Up Her Way~ - Episode 89

………delicious…….

The shock is so overwhelming that I feel like my consciousness is about to be transported to another dimension.

“Huh? But, but, having golden hair…?”

“Oh, what a magnificent golden mane. A moon-gray Thoroughbred is rare, so it’s precious.”

I messed upーーー!!

I’m so embarrassed I could die! I want to dig a hole and hide in it!

Yeah, let’s make that my grave!

I can sense my husband panicking next to me as I collapse to my knees, trembling.

“Ana, no, no way… did you think it was about you?”

I slowly nod in response to my husband’s question.

“Why such a misunderstanding!?”

Exactly.

Yeah, really, I can understand now that it was an unbelievable misunderstanding.

I can understand, but recently I’ve been thinking so much about real couples, heirs, and children that the story I heard was just too timely.

Moreover, a moonlit mane! What a coincidence, it’s too confusing!!

“There’s no way I would say something like that!? If it means losing Ana, I don’t need an heir!”

When I see my husband desperately pleading while holding my hand, I feel like I was such a fool for doubting him.

“Did Ana not believe me?”

“I couldn’t believe it, or rather, I didn’t really understand what a real couple was in the first place.”

“Huh? You’re talking about a couple bound by true love, who care for each other, right?”

Differences in opinion! And an unexpected true love!

“Ma, Master…”

“Huh?”

“True love is, among commoners, synonymous with dubious love.”

“Is that so!?”

“Also, just saying ‘I want to become a real couple’ didn’t really convey to me that you wanted to stop the fake marriage and have an heir.”

“Is that so?!?!”

Is this the difference in the environment we grew up in, or are my husband and I just completely clueless…?

“I see, I’m sorry. I thought I was showing it through my actions, but it seems my expressions of affection weren’t enough! From now on, I’ll do more…”

“No, no, no, no!! Your attitude was sweet enough! Since you never clearly said you liked me or anything, I kind of overthought things and got confused!”

After hearing what I said, my husband seemed to freeze for a moment, but after a while, he grabbed my hand again and leaned in closer.

Close, close, close, close!!

“I’m sorry! I might not have said it out loud! I always thought in my heart that I loved you, so I assumed I had conveyed it naturally!!”

I can tell my face turned bright red.

Wait, you said you love me? Always!?

“Ana! I love you, I love you! Please don’t abandon me!!”

Eeeek, even though I sowed the seeds myself, this has turned into a huge mess!!

“Husband, your voice is too loud! Making such a fuss in a place like this… ah.”

In the square that was supposed to be deserted, before anyone knew it, the villagers who had heard the commotion had gathered.

Everyone has clearly and thoroughly witnessed me and my husband.

“Hey, isn’t that the Count?!”

“Who are you with?”

“That’s not Lady Anastasia!?”

“No way, an affair!”

“Eh, is that Ana-chan?”

Rustle rustle rustle…

Oh… the situation is the worst.

What should I do? At this rate, my husband’s popularity will take a serious hit.

Think, think. It’s the seed I planted.

I need to come up with some brilliant plan to turn things around…!

“Well, it can’t be helped! At this point, there’s no other choice!”

Saying that, Fos flew in at an incredible speed, grinned at me, and lifted the pendant.

“Here we go!”

Then, before I could stop him, Kuntz kicked the magic stone, and Kaiya caught the flying stone.

My hair, which had returned to its golden color after the magic stone was removed, was blown by the wind.

Suddenly, the commotion grows even louder.

“It’s the golden goddess!!”

“Huh? What’s going on?”

It’s Lady Anastasia!

As I was bewildered by the situation that had become utterly unmanageable, my husband stood up and turned towards the villagers.

“Everyone! Sorry for the commotion!!”

The villagers who had been making noise until then suddenly fall silent.

“It’s a domestic quarrel!! Forgive us!!”

After a moment of silence.

Laughter erupts from the subjects.

The square was filled with thunderous cheers, applause, jeers, and screams, and that day the town showed a level of excitement that would be remembered in the history of the earldom.
