I Am Trying To Divorce My Villain Husband, But We Have A Child - Chapter 6
Chapter 6
“Uggh!”
The centipede’s gaze turned to the direction of the voice.
‘Should I get out now or keep hiding?’
Elisha, who hesitated for a moment, stepped on the cushion to look at the situation outside through the carriage window.
‘Richard…!’
There, as expected, Richard is confronting the giant centipede.
The centipede attacked Richard with one of its many feet.
However, Richard avoided it, this time Richard attacked it with a shot that poisoned its mouth. The mouth of the centipede is stuck frozen on the ground.
Lightly dodging the attack, Richard stepped on the back of the centipede and flew up and landed gently behind the centipede.
Then the centipede, who had pulled its mouth out of the ground, looked around, unable to find Richard.
“This way.”
Meanwhile, Richard gathered the damp wind to form a thunderstorm the same size as the centipede.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaakkk!”
In the swirling thunderstorm, the centipede was struck by lightning.
When the thunderstorm finally disappeared, only the burnt body of the centipede was left.
Richard turned around right after confirming that the centipede is no longer moving.
The servants, who accompanied Elisha, were taken out of the carriage and fainted, and the knights were confronting the small monsters that appeared with the giant centipede.
When Richard’s eyes met Elisha, who was barely looking out the window of the carriage, he ran to her right away.
Then he flew to the window of the carriage and reached out to Elisha, rescuing her.
But Elisha put Ann, who was crying in fear, ahead first.
“Get this kid out, first.”
After pulling Ann out, Richard hugged and looked at Elisha, who was holding his neck.
The small body he was hugging was still quivering.
In the midst of fear and confusion, I also made a concession to save a child smaller than me.
‘I don’t know whether to say something nice or something stupid…..’
Richard put Elisha on the ground and examined her condition.
“Where are you hurt?”
“I’m fine.”
At that time, three men came up to Richard.
“Are you the Young Duke of Rubelin?”
Just a while ago, the passersby were fighting the monsters.
Only those who received the power of Rubelin could freely deal with wind and lightning, and Richard was the only heir of Rubelin who could use that power.
So it was natural to see Richard’s power and recognize him.
Richard replied with suspicious eyes that the man’s uniform had the shape of an empire engraved on it.
“And?”
“Of course, that’s right! I was on my way to the Rubelin Castle, but this coincidence…… Thank you for saving my life.”
“You look like an imperial knight. What’s the matter here?”
“Oh, well…”
The man takes something out of his inner pocket and hands it to Richard.
“This is an invitation from the Emperor to the Young Duke.”
It was an invitation stamped with the royal seal.
***
“I want to see someone who will be the future hostess of the Duke. La….”
Albert, who received the emperor’s invitation at dinner, quickly looked it up and handed it to the butler next to him.
Elisha carefully looked at the splendid letter in the hands of the butler.
The purpose of the emperor’s invitation was obvious.
‘I’m trying to make sure that the Duke made up a lie just to avoid the marriage of Richard and the empress.’
‘And we’re trying to figure out if it’s easy to remove.’
Of course, Albert would not let Elisha be removed by the emperor’s hands. Not because Elisha is precious, but because of his Rubelin pride.
‘And in the original, Elisha survives safely and gives birth to Hannes.’
Elisha waited silently for Albert’s decision.
Albert opened his mouth for a spoonful of soup.
“It’s not bad to go a few days early, since the aristocratic meeting in the final system is around that time.”
The emperor won’t retaliate if he doesn’t accept the invitation, but avoiding the invitation was something that Rubelin’s pride wouldn’t be wasted on.
“The puddles must have dried up in three days.”
Albert, who listened to the rain outside the window while eating soup, ordered Richard and Elisha.
“We will leave for the system in four days, so be prepared.”
It was a long distance from the northern province of Rubelin to the island, which took 15 days to travel by carriage.
All the employees who were leaving with me were distressed with long journeys, but there was one who was particularly more distressed than me.
“Uggh.”
For example, someone who has motion sickness.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Ann shot down from the carriage and into the grass and vomited.
When a young maid stopped the party on both sides of the road, everyone’s eyes gunned to Ann.
Albert also seemed unhappy with the delay.
“What a useless girl! That one thing won’t tie us to the street. Stop the carriage one more time and I’ll throw you away.”
I had some medicine for motion sickness that I took before we left, but I had just taken it all, so I was out of them.
The medicine for motion sickness was quite expensive, so it was not easy to get to a small village that we passed by while traveling.
It took us half a day to get to a big village where I could get some medicine for motion sickness.
I rode a horse and came back quickly. The sun had set and the carriage would have to stop.
Then we would have to be forced to camp on the road, and I was reluctant to go.
Albert was not generous enough to tolerate a single maid.
“No, she doesn’t want to get motion sickness!”
Elisha was dissatisfied with Albert’s treatment.
Ann was especially more sick than most adults because she was only ten years old.
“Ann, are you okay?”
Elisha looked at Ann’s face as she climbed onto the carriage with tears in her eyes.
Ann crouched down in the carriage bardock, crying.
Originally, the maids could ride in the carriage with their masters, but they couldn’t sit in the same seat. The hard carriage floor was their seat.
‘That would make me feel more motion sickness….’
Elisha, who looked anxiously at Ann, grabbed her arm.
“Ann, sit here.”
The place Elisha pointed to was the seat next to hers. Ann shook her head in amazement.
“Oh, no.”
“Come on up.”
“But…”
Ann hesitated. If anyone sees this, they’ll get in big trouble.
But Elisha covered the windows on both sides of the carriage with curtains and urged Ann.
“Come on.”
Ann quietly sat in the chair, looking at Richard who was sitting across from Elisha.
Richard, who had been awake a while ago, was closing his eyes to fall asleep.
Ann then sat next to Elisha, while pretending she couldn’t win.
Elisha looked at Richard for a moment and moved to the seat next to him. Then passed a cushion to Ann.
“Lie down and get some sleep. You’ll feel better when you fall asleep.”
“Well, you can’t–”
Elisha put her index finger on her lips before she could say anything more, pointing to Richard by her eyes.
Ann looked at Elisha with a tearful look, and when she saw the finger on Elisha’s mouth, she laid reluctantly on the chair.
Only then did Elisha smile contentedly at Ann.
‘Young Madam is such an angel.’
Ann could be sure that Elisha is the prettiest person she’s ever met.
Maybe for the rest of her life.
Ann fell asleep looking at Elisha. There was a regular breathing sound in the tranquil carriage.
Elisha, who was gazing at Ann, said in a low voice.
“Thank you for closing your eyes.”
Richard, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes to the voice.
“…It will be wider than the Enril Sea.”
The “Enril Sea” was a huge sea between the West and the East.
Elisha, now accustomed to Richard’s way of speaking, grinned and retorted.
“The same is for you who closed your eyes.”
“…”
“Are you my accomplice?”
Instead of replying to Elisha, Richard started reading the book next to him.
How long has it been?
Richard was about to open the next page when a light weight crushed on his shoulders. It was Elisha’s head, who had fallen asleep.
The soft blonde hair tickled the neck of Richard.
I didn’t hate the feeling.
Richard, who had been stiff for a while, closed his eyes again.
***
The carriage of the Duke of Rubelin arrived in the islands shortly after 15 days.
There were many mansions in the system where nobles came up from the nature of each territory and stayed, among which the Duke of Rubelin in Seodo was the largest and most splendid of them.
But Elisha, exhausted by a long journey of 15 days, fell asleep as soon as they arrived.
The next day, she brought a bunch of things that the designer had completed by making the dress according to Elisha’s body size, which he had already measured and sent.
That’s why Elisha spent a day doing a fashion show without any time to relieve her fatigue.
And finally, the day to go to the Imperial Palace was bright.
The designers and maids, who were in the mansion in advance, began grooming Elisha as soon as she finished her breakfast.
“How can you be so fine!”
After hours of grooming, the designer seemed to be very pleased with the results he worked on.
“You look like a princess doll.”
“Once Richard sees you he’ll fall in love.”
The other maids, who were usually silent, also helped out one by one.
‘Waahhh…’
Usually, she would’ve let it go, but today, Elisha couldn’t take her eyes off the mirror.
The girl in the mirror was wearing a light pink dress like a petal.
Her fine blonde hair was plastered to one side, and a feather hat was used on top of it to create a spring picnic feel.
Her small, white, big soft eyes, and lips remained the same, but she looked different.
By the time she had finished changing, the door opened and someone walked in.
