How to Get My Husband on My Side

Chapter 112

The Duke, whose pride as a father was seriously damaged, calmly called for attention instead of throwing an ashtray at his son in rage. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

In other words, he changed the subject.

“Whatever the cause was, as soon as the Ice Dragon launched the attack, it became a national issue. Significant figures from all over the world were put at stake.”

“No one died. And all the saved foreigners would be talking in excitement, saying that it was an experience that would never happen again in their lives.”

“About a third of Angvan Palace was smashed. Not to mention the Moon Tower.”

“That’s unfortunate, but if I had died there, you would have been recruiting paladins dreaming about slaying dragons instead of reconstructors by now.”

“How dare you talk about how you could have died in front of your father? Do you think being cheeky will award you with four lives? You don’t know that the life your parents gave you is precious, and dared to run in blindly, just whom can you protect?! I think you’re acting like a pathetic wife!”

There was a long silence, as if cold water was poured on them by the terrifying explosion of Duke Omerta, which reminded them of his old days.

This was because it was an emotional outburst.

An overwhelmingly passionate outburst that a stranger would misunderstand as a father frustrated with his personality wrecking son.

However, those who gathered here had known each other for too long to have such a misunderstanding, so they just had an understanding look on their faces as they stared at the demonic father.

The king leaned forward and asked a question.

“Have you gone mad, Duke?”

“…I apologize, Your Majesty. Forgive my disrespect.”

“Can I say something?”

It was then that Galar, who had been standing very silently and quietly looking at the ceiling, suddenly opened his mouth.

It was unexpected enough for Izek, who was staring at his father with no different eyes from others, to turn his eyes towards him.

The Knight Commander, who had a bitter smile, welcomed the unexpected interruption with an indifferent look.

“Ah, our reliable Sir Galar. There was something I wanted to ask you separately. While I was scolding your friends at the palace, you quietly disappeared alone. Where did you go and what did you do?”

“…….”

“I also watched you all in my own way while you all were fighting, against my instructions… and to my surprise, the guys who would usually fight whenever they met were getting along well. I was just moved

to think that you all finally understood companionship.… I’m going off-topic. Anyway, I watched a little bit since only the lord knows why my most beloved knights were out there, but Sir Galar, who is considered as one of the most loyal knights, was missing. I couldn’t believe it and thought Izek went berserk because the dragon ate you up.”

“… … .”

“But how happy would I have been to see you return in a very peaceful manner? Come on, stop hiding with that bear-size of yours and report honestly where and what you’ve been doing. His Majesty is watching, right?”

There was a moment of silence.

In contrast to the commander smiling warmly like a benevolent father, Galar’s gritted teeth with his already harsh face distorted even more. He gave off an aura asking to not be touched any more.

He was about to charge at his leader.

“Hmm? Tell me, Sir Galar. You wouldn’t have possibly secretly robbed the hive alone in that mess.”

“…….”

“Why are you looking at me like that? One might think that Longinus’s Galar was embarrassed, huh?”

It was an accurate point.

Contrary to his appearance, Galar was very embarrassed in his own way and was in a state of helplessness.

His anxious flashing pumpkin-colored eyes slowly turned toward the heart of all this.

He had to fix it somehow.

And Izek did that.

“Galar is not the problem right now, Commander. There’s one more person who disappeared at that moment.

“Oh, is that so, Sir Izek? Then, why don’t you remind us of that person with that smug mouth of yours?”

“You know him. Cardinal Valentino.”

Izek, who spat this out, glanced sideways toward Duke Omerta.

To be exact, it should be said he was glaring.

The duke only wiggled his eyebrows like a caterpillar in response to his son’s behavior towards him.

It was the king who spoke.

King Feanol was adamant, claiming that this was not worth mentioning.

“Even if the timing is strange, we cannot conclude that Cardinal Valentino is related to the incident. Isn’t there no evidence? In Romagna….”

“Of course. I knew Your Majesty would say that.”

“You!”

“That’s nice. It’s surprising that Sir Izek is not taking their side. Isn’t he the family member of your beloved wife? There is also something very contradictory about the current appearance of the dragon in this place, as good as its attitude had been throughout this time.”

A very valid point.

As soon as Cardinal Valentino’s name rang, his stiff-faced colleagues watched him anxiously, and Izek soon smiled cynically.

“My wife is a family member of the Omertas, Your Majesty. I mean, she has nothing to do with this. I thought you would understand that better than anyone else. Your response is unexpected.”

The king’s expression hardened at once.

The commander, who was carefully observing the changing complexion of the knights, also flinched at the same time.

It was an implicit taboo to mention the Queen’s origin in front of the king.

There had been countless difficulties in the marriage process along with their daughter born and raised there.

But this man couldn’t kill the dragon, so he was showering bullets with his eyes burning with betrayal?

It was as if the dragon himself was standing there- but it was just an illusion that King Feanol, who’d brought up Rudbeckia, saw.

Of course, that was only for a short time.

King Feanol was a monarch who knew how to reflect on his words, unlike those arrogant knights who only knew how to show off.

“Stop. I’ve made a mistake. Your wife is the Duchess Omerta.”

“Yes. Forgive me for being rude.”

The king seemed to have a slight headache.

Sir Barons, who was disapproving of Izek smiling politely as if he had never done anything bad, stepped out this time with great calmness.

“Sir Izek. There are important issues now. Stop going back and forth and answer me correctly. How are you sure that Romagna had no idea about the Duchess’ secret?”

(T/N: Referring to her communication ability.)

“If they knew, they wouldn’t have acted so defenselessly. They had no idea at all. Do you want to imply that my wife may be part of some huge conspiracy?”

“Don’t go back and forth. Didn’t I just tell you not to go back and forth? I understand that the frost dragon attack and the aftereffects took place, but we cannot be lenient. Her secret is something that

can change the whole world. Therefore, it is appropriate to keep it strictly confidential for the time being, but if the Duchess helps the Britannia family…”

“Aha, so you want to make my wife a secret weapon. And you’re not the enemy? I can’t believe what I’m hearing right now. What nonsense is this?”

“You rotten… Why are you twisting my words however you want? You need to be more calm! Don’t you think we’ve been through the same things? If you’re careless and emotional, it’s a loss! Do you want to create a world full of ashes? Is that really what you want to show her!?”

“…… .”

“I’m not forcing you. I’m not asking you to help me get rid of her. I understand everything that happened. What made you fight. Everyone here understands. These idiots, your friends, also understood, so they cooperated with you. Are you listening? You don’t have any enemies here. So why treat us like one? You just have to help us out a bit….”

“Commander. That’s actually what you can’t say right now.…”

If your insane friend who has turned into steel suddenly shows dead eyes, you are bound to move.

Ivan’s sudden interruption was probably something similar.

In fact, Ivan couldn’t even understand what he was possessed by to step in.

To make matters worse, as soon as he did that, he received the terrifying gaze of his friend who told him silently to shut up right away, and the incredulous look of his leader, questioning why he was being rude.
