Chapter 236
Departure
(Returning to the main plot . . . Iris's mother at the rescue . . . )
" . . . Lady, is this okay?"
An elder maid that served at the Duke of Almeria for a long time, gives me clothes while asking that question .
It is a simple clothing similar to the uniforms that low rank knights wear . Something that can never be used by "the Duchess" .
"Well, fine . "
I remove the accessories and take off my dress .
Instead, I put on the clothes that she prepared .
Then tie my hair underneath in a casual way and wear the cloak .
Finally, I mounted the sword I got from the hidden room .
" . . . Are you going?"
Seeing me who came into the room with those clothes on, my husband asked .
"Yeah"
Neither I nor my husband continued talking .
Silence dominates the room .
Instead of opening our mouths, I and my husband were staring at each other .
. . . . . . Eyes often said more things than the mouth .
I want to talk with my husband . . . but, words never truly say what you deep inside you mean to say . . .
-I do not want to let you go, though I can't stop you . – . . . . My husband's eyes seemed to say so . . .
Surely, my husband feels the same as me .
. . . . . . I don't want to leave, but I have to .
If something happens to my husband while I am away, I'd surely regret, but even . . . I must go .
To protect our precious daughter .
My husband would never say that, but I can see in his eyes that conflict .
I smiled like swallowing my thoughts, and then opened my mouth .
" . . . Do not be afraid . . . I will definitely live and come back to you husband . . . My only home and place of return is where my husband is . "
My husband also laughed at those words of mine .

"Oh . . . I believe you . . . It's sad we can't go together, but my heart is with you . The things you have to carry on your back, we'll carry it together . I'll protect you from everything that hinders your movements . . . The oath of our past will not change, so go and believe in me . I'll have your back . "
"Yeah . . . I'm going, my husband"
Then I headed to Marquis Anderson .
Greetings at his mansion also passed so quickly . . .
" . . . I heard the situation from Iris"
My older brother cuts out the topic with a particularly tense voice .
"Yes, brother, sorry but . . . "
" . . . Your daughter is really well prepared, soldiers suddenly invaded the Duke of Almeria and created chaos, but Iris has already sent a request for reinforcements to the first prince and it passed . But . . "
My older brother interrupted my words and said with a bitter smile .
"The soldiers are already convoked, but we can not do much . "
"Then it's useless . . . What about numbers?"
"There are one hundred active soldiers, and those who ran through the battlefield with you once are all here . "
"Well, okay . "
I feel relieved at my brother's words .
It was because he had not thought of honesty that he could get such a large number of staff at these times .
"But I have not given any orders yet, whether they follow or not depends on you . "
In the meantime, "Can you make them obey?" . . . Seemed to be what he was asking .
"Well, that's fine . . . If they're ordered by their master they'll definitely listen to me, but this way they will not doubt me later and follow me until the end . If they don't obey me as a head, it's just a crowd of people in the battlefield . . . Is this not your concern? "

However, even if it concerns him, such a thing is expected .
I thought it was a matter of course I'd have to deal with this .
" . . . as usual, intuition does not work when it comes to fighting"
"Well, though the battlefield used to be your field so long ago . . . . . . Now you fight in social circles everyday as the Duchess not?"
"Oh, that's also a battlefield for you?"
"…surely"
While my brother affirmed, I laughed .
"Well, good, really thank you, older brother"
"Just go, I'll pry for both you and my niece . "
"Yeah"
Then I left the study in a good mood, and headed for the grounds where my brother's men were gathered .
