My Dear Husband, Let's Keep It Business-Like! ~Countess Anastasia, Raised in The Downtown, Won't Give Up Her Way~ - Episode 92

Right now, in front of me, my extremely cheerful husband is waiting with a big smile, holding out his hand.

In the dining hall where we had just finished breakfast, there were of course the servants, and despite Marie and the veteran estate servants seemingly smirking at us,

Mmm, this is embarrassing! …But desperate times call for desperate measures.

When I place my hand over my husband’s hand, he responds with the most radiant smile.

In short, I want to see that smile.

Hmph, laugh if you want! I’m ready to be a clown if it means seeing my beloved husband’s smile!!

When I resolutely took my husband’s hand and stood up, he smiled happily, intertwined his fingers with mine, and held my hand.

Even though he’s doing everything with the utmost enthusiasm, the fact that his ears turn bright red is what makes my husband so adorable.

“Wow, it’s piping hot!”

The spirit trio is coming to tease us with their harmonized voices.

Geez! If you keep saying things like that, I won’t share my pancakes with you next time!

Since the declaration of the end of the trial period, my husband’s adoration for me knows no bounds.

Even holding hands while moving, and when we drink tea together, he even tried to lift me onto his lap, which really surprised me and made me lean back in astonishment.

When I protested, turning bright red, I was told that all noble couples who marry for love are like this.

Wow, nobles are amazing.

“When in Rome, do as the Romans do!” With that in mind, I boldly sat on my husband’s lap, and then he offered me a piece of cake, nearly making me lose consciousness.

The path to becoming a high-ranking noble is harsh.

Well, even though we’ve ended up living such a ridiculously sweet life, of course, we’re still doing what needs to be done.

It seems that my husband has caught up quite a bit with understanding estate management, and he has also started handling the paperwork that he had previously left entirely to Marcus.

Thanks to that, it seems Marcus has gained a bit of extra time, and Dahlia thanked him as well.

Well, this is how it should ideally be.

I’m sorry for everything up until now, Marcus.

Regarding Marcus, there’s a theory that he missed his chance to get married because he was too busy with work, so from now on, my husband and I will work hard, so I hope he can settle down with peace of mind.

Of course, with Dahlia.

And this afternoon, finally, my brother-in-law and Princess Carmilla will be coming to the territory.

Since it is the first time I am inviting guests to the estate’s guesthouse after marrying into the count’s family, I have made meticulous preparations for their hospitality.

I hope you and Princess Carmilla will thoroughly enjoy it.

“Darling, no matter what, it’s not acceptable to hold hands inside the mansion when your brother-in-law and Princess Carmilla are here, okay?”

“Is that so!?”

You were planning to connect it! That was close!

And in the afternoon.

“Anaaaaa!”

As my husband and I were waiting in front of the mansion for the two to arrive, we saw Princess Carmilla waving cheerfully from inside the carriage.

The princess, who stepped down from the carriage, was surprisingly in a pants style that was still quite rare in Fairfanville.

The large frilled cavalier blouse goes really well with the black high-waisted pants with suspenders.

So cute! So stylish!!

Princess Carmilla always has such great taste, no matter when you see her.

This time, Princess Carmilla’s visit is not an official one, but it’s not a secret visit either, so her guards and maids are accompanying her properly.

Since it’s quite a large household, my skills as a countess are being put to the test. My hands are itching to get started.

“Ana! I’ve missed you so much! I’m going back to the territory from the royal capital soon. I wanted to talk more!”

Princess Carmilla hugged me tightly again.

Sigh, the princess is so cute. I want to call her “big sister” as soon as possible, so I hope my brother-in-law can win her over quickly.

“Ha ha, sorry for bringing so many people. Count Hamilton, Anastasia, we’ll be in your care for a week.”

“I’m really looking forward to the parade! And just like I heard, there are really an incredible number of spirits here. I’m amazed!”

Yes. It seems that the reason Her Highness the Princess insisted on coming all the way here this time was not only for the parade but also because she wanted to see the Hamilton Earl’s territory, which is home to many spirits.

“Lady Ana, Lord Eugene, I am also in your care.”

As always, the polite Ria-chan was wearing a different outfit from the one I saw at the last dinner.

As I thought, spirits can wear clothes too!

Let’s definitely ask Princess Camilla about this later.

If it’s content that doesn’t touch on state secrets, though.

If I could make clothes for Phos, Kuntz, and Kaia too, I think they would turn out really cute!
