The Bright Future Awaits! The Villainess Lady's Route of Happiness

Side Story 2: Cedric

When my wife gave birth to my first son, I was on a mission to defend the kingdom's border for four years and now, she'll give birth to my second child, I was also not in her side.

What a pathetic husband I am

I'm currently at the kingdom's capital to have an audience with his majesty the king, King Louise de Crouzet II.

Even when we were on meeting, my mind was floating to where my wife at and about her condition.

Why do the king always hinder me every time my wife gave birth to my child and needed me by her side?

After the meeting, the king called me to ask the reason why I am not in my self.

I scoffed at him and amswering him with obvious irritated tone, saying that today was my wife's second child birth.

When he heard my answer, he just laughed at me.

What a kind king, indeed. Note my sarcasm here.

Louise was actually my best friend together with Robert Delcroix, the prime minister.

When the three of us together, there were no rank that separate us. Just like a normal buddy, we talk and laugh together even in this age.

After he laughed and joke at me, he let me go back to where my wife is. As soon as he freed me, I used the fastest horse in the palace and travel nonstop for four days to Hoffman city, Valkhyne Province to check my wife's condition.

I love my wife, Emerald.

Even everyone is against our marriage and we are now this old, I still loved her.

Emerald came from Viscount family, much lower to my rank but I fell in love at first sight with her when she was only 14 years old and I am 18 years old.

Emerald hates me because she sees me as one of those playboy in my age, knowing that I have both looks, wealth, title, and power that everyone eager to get.

Unlike other noble ladies that I met, Emerald was different. If others will do everything to curry my favor or climb on my bed, she's the opposite. She'll do everything to ignore and hide from me.

A unique kind of aristocrat lady

She never favors or looks to a person's appearance and wealth but to the heart of an individual, that was what makes me love her more and deeper day by day.

She hates my guts... but I never give up on her.

I courted her for five years before she answered me her sweetest 'yes' and marry me. I made her fall in love with me with no more salvation... that's how much I love her.

The first time I saw her, I told myself that this girl will be my wife no matter what... and that's the reason why I never yield on pursuing her even my peers already laugh and make a fun out of me. I became a joke in high society since she dumps me many times... I can't even counts how many times she dumps me but I never give up. I just love her and that's all she needed to know.

I proved to her my worth and my love. Even if I can just arrange a marriage (whether she likes it or not) between our family since I was a Duke's son and she's a daughter of a Viscount, a lower status but I never did. I want to prove to her that I can make her fall for me without outside help, with only just my sincerity and real feelings.
