I Married Because I Wanted To Live A Normal Life

Chapter 18



 His blue eyes looked down at me as if they were piercing me.“By the way, Baron. I want to give you a piece of presumptuous advice.”The blonde man opened his mouth in a blunt tone.“The capable people are people who have a different mentality from ordinary people. How can they not do that when they use mysterious abilities that are different from those of others since birth.”Just where did his usual spirited appearance go. Miller with calm eyes opened his mouth slowly, as if he were a different person.“’I am different from others’…….”“…….”“The stronger the ability, the more peculiar the ability, the more likely they are to think so.”While parents, acquaintances, and friends are all talented, it came to me more heavily because it was said by a man who grew up as the only ordinary person in that gap.“In that sense, your husband…… It’s better to think of it as a mismatch in some way.”After saying that, Miller was the first to leave the room, muttering, “I’ll get in touch with you about the deal later.”Me and Sein looked at his back without saying a word.I am different from others.After repeating the words in my mind, which somehow didn’t sound like someone else’s, I tightened my hand.  Many years have already passed since I came to this place after a sudden accident in real life.My initial sense of coming from another world began to be gradually forgotten as I lived here. On the contrary, there were times when it felt like a dream.As I have been living in my own way for several years like that, the sense that this is a world in a book has gradually faded away.Will there really be a great event called the destruction of the world when it is so peaceful? Even if it happens, it may be something in the distant future, and nothing special will happen while I’m still alive. That’s what I thought.But seeing this happen, maybe it was just my wish.[I see…… Even in your territory.]“Yes…….”[……Liddell.]My father, who had been muttering in shock after hearing my explanation from the other side of the video sphere, opened his mouth with a tired expression.[Maybe I failed to give you faith.]“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”[Why did that happen……. You don’t say a word to me until I contact you.]“…….”Ah……. Is that so. It was a situation that a typical parent might worry about.I missed some things because I had few memories of receiving my parents’ worries, but most of all, I was distracted by Hisch these days, making it really difficult to take care of various problems.“……I’m sorry, I’m really distracted. In the end, it wasn’t a big deal.”[It doesn’t matter if it’s a big deal or not. It’s just…… No, it’s fine. Let’s talk about the details when we meet.]“……Yes, then I will leave on time.”[Yes, come safely.]The connection was terminated after a conversation that would have been in a father-daughter relationship. I took a deep breath and ran my hand across my face once.The secret association mentioned in <I Picked Up My Husband>. I didn’t think it was going this far under the water.Suddenly, villagers eat each other, or all living things including animals and plants in the vast forest, die.When such suspicious and bizarre things happened one after another, the royal family secretly launched an investigation, and as a result, it was revealed that it was the work of monsters.Sein, who was listening to the report next to me, calmly said this.“Dryads and Shadow, these are monsters that have not been seen for nearly 100 years. To be honest, I thought they were already extinct.”I answered in a tired voice.“So the wizards must have taken the lead in digging. What they don’t understand is that they are the people who ask questions to the end.”And they want to use my abilities to check out some of the places they’ve identified as having something to do with this phenomenon…… That was why my father contacted me.Although I married and became independent from my family, it was a responsibility that could not be escaped as long as Catlan’s blood flowed on me. Normally, I’ll just go there like it’s some kind of errand, but……The problem was that now my husband couldn’t avoid me, so he just went into hiding.  After that day, Hisch literally locked himself up in the room.“Hisch, have you eaten?”“Hisch, it’s a nice day, would you like to go for a walk?”“……Hisch, you’re breathing, right?”……I was barely able to check his safety over the tightly closed door.At the end of my sentence, Hisch himself must have been surprised as there was a thud in the room, but fortunately, I was able to confirm his life or death.Yes, Hisch must also need time to think. I decided to think so.Rather, it seemed that it would not be bad for me to go out to the capital for a while and have time for each other.Before going to the capital in response to my father’s call, I took a step forward to tell Hisch about my long business trip.As I headed to the room where he had been locked up for several days, I had a lot of thoughts.In fact, it wasn’t just Hisch who needed time. I, too, was perplexed.Is my husband strong? Awesome!……But, for some reason, I couldn’t be happy.I used to have the same dream every night. When I run towards him to block the dark shadow that comes upon him, he reaches out and touches the gigantic figure. Then the figure would turn to white ashes like snow.It was the same hand that held my hand, hugged me, and patted my back.The instinctive shudder from the fear…… of witnessing Hisch’s power. Because it was the kind of thing that could not be easily forgotten.It was really hilarious. Thanks to that ability, I and Hisch were able to live.‘I’m so glad.’ It may end with that thought, but I wonder why I think his power is terrifying.However…….“…….”I suddenly remembered the first time I met Hisch.When we first met, Hisch was crying on one side of the garden.Hisch said it was the first time he had become a gardener for such a large mansion. So, he often made mistakes, and in the end, there was a time when some of the flowers in the garden he was managing died due to a failure in sunlight control.I thought he fears that other people will find out and get scolded. Perhaps because he knew that if he was discovered, he would lose his job and be fired. However, it wasn’t because of that; rather, he was crying because he was sad that he killed the flowers.Hisch cried for that reason.I just… I had a lot of thoughts.For example, the people of the Riot family who didn’t even participate in their child’s wedding.Hisch said he was lucky to meet me.The scene that still appears in my dreams, where he makes the giant monster disappear. Immediately after that, with an expression that looks like he’s about to cry, and the back of him running away.The man who decided to hide and cry in secret, rather than showing off such a fearful and unrealistic power to someone or violently wielding it to profit.Stupid, and…… somewhat lovely.“…….”Finally, standing in front of the door where he was locked in, I hesitated for a moment and then knocked on the door.“Hisch? Are you there?”As I listened, I heard footsteps. Are you going to open the door for me today? I wanted him to, but the sound of footsteps came close to the door and stopped.I sighed and leaned my back against the door.“Hmm…… have you eaten yet? I have eaten already. Oh…… Right, if you need anything, you’re telling the servants well, right? You can’t refuse to do that.”Also, I held back my desire to nag a lot and decided to get to the point.“Uh…… And. I came here today because I wanted to tell you something. Well…… I need to go to the capital for a little while. Maybe the departure is……. Well, I think I’ll have to hurry up. But I think I’ll have to stay there for a few days. There’s something I have to do, and when I do it, I can’t get out of bed for two days, so……”Whew, why am I even talking about this. I ended the conversation by stroking the back of my neck.“Anyway….. I’m just telling you in case you’ll look for me. Ummm…… Eat well without me.”No wonder my soul is Korean, since just why out of all things, the thing I remembered as a final greeting is talking about food.I scolded myself and was about to stand upright and walk, when I heard a rattling sound behind me.As soon as I looked back for a moment, a strong grip hugged me.“Liddell…….!”It was a long time since he had hugged me. Hisch buried his face on my shoulder and whispered in my ear.“Where are you going to the capital? For what? Why does Liddell have to lie down for days?”For some reason, my shoulders were damp, so I grabbed his hand and turned around to see a black-haired man looking at me with tears in his eyes.It’s been a long time since I saw him, and he looked haggard, so I felt emotional without realizing it.“If you’re so worried about it……. Why didn’t you come out earlier? I was so worried.”“Liddell……? Are you crying……?“Of course, uh! Do I look like I won’t cry? What’s with your face, did you eat? I’m so upset……”As I ran my hand over the side of Hisch’s face, he cried with even thicker teardrops.“I’m sorry, Liddell. I’m sorry I’m a coward, I’m sorry.” Hello, everyone!
