My Villainous Husband

47

But, he did not return to the way he was in the original novel.

It was as if someone had spilled a bunch of magical sugar powder on him. The funny thing is, he was only kind to me.

On the day that the delegation of the Temple of Tunia left, he scratched the archbishop’s spirit again. The archbishop, unable to get angry at the insults and could barely step on the rising anger, looked pitiful. He sent the delegation away like ‘Raniero Actilus’ and immediately treated me with a 180-degree change of attitude.

I tore my hair out.

‘This is a character breakdown!’

How could Raniero Actilus act like the protagonist of a true romance novel? If it had been described like this in the original story, I would not have given half a star to 「 Flowers Bloom in the Deep 」.

‘And why… To me?’

It was really strange.

Truthfully, I didn’t even really think about it that deeply. It was because there was nothing bad about this character breakdown. If you think about it objectively, it was rather close to a good thing. However, as he became more affectionate, I became more and more anxious. That was probably because I knew him too well.

‘I can’t accept it straight away.’

Tormented by Raniero all day, I lay on the bed.

As I placed both hands on my navel, I blinked and gazed up at the ceiling. He smiles when I touch his hair or cheeks. Even though when we first got married in the spring, he hated being touched… In addition, he keeps asking what I like — anything I would like to have or a request I would want him to hear.

In fact, every time he asked me something like that, I hesitated.

It was not because I am not a materialistic person… It was because this was Actilus.

If I wanted to stay rooted in this country, I would receive all kinds of luxuries when he offered them, but I was going to run away. I did not want to waste those things when I left. I know my civic personality very well. If I were attached to things and had lingering feelings, gaps would follow.

And, for some reason, I didn’t even want to leave more traces of myself than necessary.

‘Just imagining if my favorite items were in the room when he brought Seraphina…’

…That was kind of strange.

“Oh, I don’t know.”

I deliberately spoke out loud before closing my eyes. I should not think too complicatedly and be thankful that I do not have to worry about my life right away. After all, peace should be fully enjoyed when given.

‘…And, never let go of your tension.’

Because you never know when he will change.

If he had been a predictable person, I would not have been able to live like this while sweating.

Let’s remember

He was always the person whose fun was the most important thing. Even though I do not know why he was doing this, but… perhaps because it is fun. The moment he loses interest, his attitude will change like the palm of his hand.

…Where did that damn cruelty go?

After thinking of Raniero for a while, I sighed and changed clothes.

I am just going to sleep.

Crossing his legs, Raniero Actilus shook his head.
