Chapter 6: Unanswered Questions
It had been six months since I got married and came here, but until now, he hadn’t entered my room once. We always met at the breakfast table or dinner table, but at other times, I didn’t even get a single glimpse of him. I had no idea why.
I believed my father did work when he used to walk around the corridor. I used to see him, even though it was only once a day. But whenever I saw him, he would come and ask how I was doing in my classes or how I felt, at the very least. But this person didn’t do anything like this. I didn’t know why I was even having expectations when they should have been broken already. I was hoping there would be one day he would come through this door and say, "Madam, sorry I’m late."
Even though the apology would only be for a day, I would have taken the apology for the six months that he did not apologize.
"Madam, the Duke has called for you," Yuna came and told me while I was looking outside the window.
"Where?" I asked.
"To his study," she said.
So he spends most of his time in his study when I’m not even aware of where the study room is.
"Can you lead me the way?" I asked.
"Yes, madam," she still talks this way even though any person would have gotten used to this long ago. I still doubt the date if it is the behavior of a person who was born from another person. If it is, then why is there no sign of emotions in her eyes? Why doesn’t she even hold a little bit of sympathy for me when she is well aware of how I’m living in this room and it has been six months, making me feel as if I have been living like this for six years?
I walked toward his study, which was in the corner of the house.
"I will stay outside," she said and stood outside the room like a guard. Now I’m freaking sure these people are manufactured, unlike the butler and the other knights.
"You called for me?" I again skipped anything that will make me take his name.
