Chapter 171: Church of Love, Ride the Express Train to Hell! (1)
The Lord's Wife, Peta Sieri. The official title felt awkward to Sieri. The Lord's Wife. A corner of her mind had always held the thought of becoming Lusius's wife, but she had never once thought of ascending to the high position of the Lord's Wife. This moment, married through an administrative document and sitting at the office desk as the Lord's Wife, felt utterly alien to Sieri.
The only things that proved she was the wife were the marriage certificate as the Lord's Wife and the letter of delegation that Lusius had written and left behind. Sieri couldn't erase the emptiness inside her heart, a feeling that something was missing from her married life.
"Ah, Wife. Here are the documents that need approval today."
Aira entered, carrying an armful of documents. With the construction projects currently being promoted internally, there was a mountain of papers to approve. After pronouncing Sieri as 'Wife,' Aira herself seemed to find it awkward, sticking out her tongue and grinning.
"Hehe......"
"Th-Thank you."
Sieri also found it awkward for Aira to call her 'Wife.' She sat in the lord's office chair and began to review the documents. Aira, sitting in the assistant seat beside her and turning the pages, asked her a question.
"Wife. Are you unwell somewhere?"
"Huh? Ah, no. I'm fine."
