Tap! Tap! Tap!
In the room laden with all sorts of comforts, Yvonne walked around to and fro while gritting her teeth.
Even though the room was filled with riches from corner to corner, it was not enough for her to calm down.
The recent events had caused chaos all around leaving behind nothing but devastation all around.
Huge hectares of land had been ruined, lives were lost and the number crossed millions.
And out of all this, even Lockhart merchant ground also suffered heavily.
Many personnel working for them were killed, and the trade and transport to the affected Kingdoms were stopped despite that she wasn't as affected as the news of Leonheart being attacked.
She didn't know what had transpired in Leonhart.
She only knew the results but not the details. She knew that Leonheart had won before anyone and her worry should be stopped but a blue flying pigeon disrupted her normal life.
She knew about the identity of the pigeon. It was Athena's summon with which she communicates with others.
And two days ago, she received news that Alex was badly injured which was bad enough for him unable to walk for days.
Although she may speak a bit harshly about him before and clearly showed her disgust towards him, her heart was always in a state of panic when she heard any topic related to him.
She had tried to find information about him but he was of no avail. It seemed as if someone was blocking the way and she wasn't able to receive any confirmation whether he was injured or not.
She knew that Athena wouldn't lie about this unless there was big trouble, so she wouldn't send her summon.
"Why didn't anyone send me a letter to inform me about his condition?"
"Do they think I am an outsider?" Yvonne grumbled and lay on the bed burying her face in the pillow.
She curled up and held the sheets tightly with a worried expression.
She knew that she always nitpicks about Alex and might have acted like a bad bitch, but she can't at least put up a front for him to coax.
"Maybe they also think I am nothing but a troublesome person to deal with," Yvonne spoke, trying to remember the face of the other wives.
Her relationship wasn't too friendly with others except Athena and Riya hates her for bad-mouthing Alex whom she loves with all her heart.
Even Athena only informed her about Alex's injury and didn't send her to summon thereafter to relay Alex's condition.
"Haaaa!"
"Let's leave it, I know, I am not a good person. I should just pack some herbs and elixirs and send them to him."
"They don't like me but I can't complain, after all, I had a bad habit of complaining at the slightest discomfort but I should try to help him."
"I hope the herbs and elixirs can be of some help."
"I wonder whether he even needs this when Athena was with him and can heal him."
Yvonne spoke with a sigh and buried her head.
Yvonne who tried to calm herself down a bit suddenly felt a hot air blowing over her ears.
"Yaaaaaahh!" Yvonne screamed in terror jumping back and almost falling from the bed but a pair of strong hands supported her from the back.
Yvonne opened her lips to speak but her expression froze as golden hair fell over her face and a warmth spread over her as she was supported by a pair of hands.
BA-DUMP!BA-DUMP!
Her heart started to beat wildly.
"Alex...Alex!"
Yvonne pushed him away and said, "What are you doing here?"
"My wife was cursing and blaming herself for the husband's misfortune. So, it was right for the husband to appear and coax her."
"Didn't you say, you wanted to be coaxed?"
"How can I leave my disheartened wife alone?"
"Wife, come here and give me a kiss."
"Ahhh!" Yvonne screamed due to Alex's bold action and she placed her finger on his lips to close it.
"Alex, stop it, you scoundrel."
"You only know how to take advantage of me," Yvonne spoke in an annoyed tone.
Alex pulled Yvonne's hands and kissed the back of her hand and spoke in a disheartened tone"What can I do?'
"You are beautiful, intelligent, rich, magnanimous and understanding while I am worse than an uneducated peasant who doesn't know how to care for his wife."
"Hmm, it's good that you know," Yvonne spoke proudly but her expression stiffened a bit as she saw Alex's pitiful gaze and immediately tried to entice him.
"I….I didn't mean that. I know, you are also working hard."
"Stop, you don't need to coax me like a four-year child. I know, I owe you a lot. It's my seven lives' fortunes and your misfortunes for us to get married."
Alex shook his head and stared at Yvonne with a puppy gaze and said"For all your deeds, I can only repay you with this unworthy body of mine"
Alex opened his arms wide and spoke"Yvonne, you can use this body of mine as you see fit. This is all yours. I am also good at serving at night, you can ask Riya."
Yvonne's expression froze and her cheek heated up and became as red as a tomato.
"You...You..."
BANG!
Alex, who was giving a titanic pose, was suddenly hit by a pillow one after another.
"Shameless, shameless...Have some shame.." Yvonne screamed in anger.
"How can you say such a thing in such a straight and upright manner?"
"Cough...Cough...I am just stating the facts."
"My wife should know about this, after all, it is a matter of your lifetime happiness."
"There is no need to be shy."
"Just stop it." Yvonne was unable to handle any more and covered her embarrassed face.
Athena had already sowed some dirty buds into Yvonne's mind and every time Alex boasted shamelessly, those words rang like bells in Yvonne's mind.
She was ashamed of herself for having such a dirty thought. For a moment she is thought about Alex and her working out together.
"Alex, enough for today. I cannot take it anymore." Yvonne spoke with a rough breath.
"How did you manage to come in under such tight security?"
"Your Husband's skills are great. I sneak in here."
"Like a thief," Yvonne asked with a glare.
"Don't you know it is improper to visit a lady's room at night?"
"What do you mean improper I am visiting my-!"
Alex's words were cut short, by a loud knock on the door.
Yvonne's expression became pale and he jumped up from her bed and threw the sheets covering Alex and put a pillow on top of him.
"Just stay here, quietly," Yvonne shouted and moved to open the door.
"What the hell?" Alex grimaced.
Yvonne opened the door to see two maids standing beside the door with his father.
"Brother Ashton!" Yvonne spoke with a surprised look.
Ashton shook away the maids and spoke with an awkward tone.
"Hmmmn!" Clearing his throat he spoke.
"Yvonne is Alex with you now?"
Yvonne froze for a moment and wondered what to say.
"Father asked me to call both of you?"
Yvonne's face became as white as a sheet of paper.
Meanwhile, Alex heard a bit and murmured"It seems I am either going to be kicked out or slaughtered today."
