Why Are You Obsessed With Your Fake Wife? - Chapter 69.1

Preparations for the fight against the monsters proceeded in the blink of an eye due to the system that allowed them to respond at any time when the territory was directly hit by monsters.

“Fortunately, the weather is nice.”

Soldiers and knights lined in neat rows. The voice of a woman resonated quietly in a place where only strong men were gathered.

It was an unusual sight, but no one was surprised anymore because there was no way Nadia wouldn’t attend the estate’s matters.

The vanguard knight asked,

“Shall we start, my lord?”

Glenn nodded slightly instead of answering.

Then a drum sounded to announce the departure, and the cavalry army began to move one step at a time.

Thump! Thump!

The residents with anxious faces glanced sideways as the intimidating cavalries crossed the boulevard.

Until now, a group of monsters has never traveled south, but it was difficult to completely erase the anxiety.

“Open the gate!”

With a loud voice, the gate slowly began to open. The group of knights and soldiers took their first step toward the plain outside the west gate.

However, it was not long after the group left the gate. Nadia approached Glenn.

Nadia approached first, but Glenn opened his mouth first.

“Yeres Mountain is quite far. Wouldn’t it be better to take a carriage?”

“I’m fine. If I can’t stand it, I’ll take the carriage then. Can I talk to you for a second? Just the two of us.”

“Then let’s step aside a little.”

“Of course.”

Soon after, the two people left the group with their horses.

It was only after a long distance that Nadia opened her mouth cautiously.

“Glenn… You’re not mad at me, are you?”

“No, I have no reason to.”

Seeing that the answer popped up right away, Nadia didn’t think it was empty talk.

Nadia had to look at Glenn’s expression slowly to gauge his sincerity. He didn’t look as angry as he said, but it’s just….

“But why do you look so depressed?”

Even though only good things had happened recently, like his father recovering his health, Nadia didn’t know why Glenn’s expression was full of anxiety.

“…Are you sure you’re not angry?”

“Yes, there is no reason to be angry with you.”

“I’m glad to hear that…”

It was good that Glenn was not angry, so she went on quickly.

“Sir Fabian asked me yesterday. The atmosphere between the two of us has been a little subtle in recent days, I wonder why he had such thoughts?”

“I don’t know if he’s quick or slow.”

“Anyway, Sir Fabian said that, which means something was different from usual.”

“I’m really not angry…”

Glenn, who paused, chose the expression.

“It’s just a little… It’s because I’m flustered. I thought.. You really loved me.”

“It’s because I acted a little too much, so you don’t have to blame yourself.”

“… Right.”

Nadia had no idea that it was a consolation that did him no good.

“So what I want to say is, let’s keep what happened a few days ago between us. Don’t tell me you’ve already told someone else?”

“No way. I don’t want to talk about that to anyone…”

His voice was full of sincerity.

Glenn thought,

‘Well, I don’t want to let others know that I mistook someone for liking me.’

Nadia was glad Glenn and her had the same interests.

In order to continue her double agent role, it was necessary to keep the truth a secret.

“Then, as it has been, externally, I came to the north because I loved you. I need to keep it as it is to hide that I betrayed my father.”

“So you mean… Do you want to keep the way you have been in front of others?”

“Yes, the less people know secrets, the better. But if we want to avoid sharing a bed from your father’s order, we need to have help. I think you can tell someone who is really reliable, especially someone who is good at keeping secrets.”

“…I don’t know where the word would leak, so for now let’s leave it as a secret that only I and you know.”

“Then how do you explain to your father that we always stay in our own rooms?”

“It’s… I’ll find a way.”

“If you say so…”

There was no use talking more when the other person said they would take care of it by themselves.

“I’m sure you want to avoid sharing bed with me too, so I will find the best way to do it.”

Then Nadia had no choice but to trust and leave it to him.

Nadia replied with a nod.

“Okay. If you’re going to take care of it on your own, let’s stop discussing it, and move on to another matter.”

“There’s more…?”

Nadia, who had not heard it, asked back because it was a quick murmur.

“What was that? I didn’t hear you. Can you say it again?”

“Oh, I was just talking to myself. I’m sorry to interrupt. Keep it up.”

“……?”

Nadia tilted her head. Glenn didn’t look good from a while ago. What’s wrong with him?
