It was nice knowing you guys. I think next year around this time, it will be my death anniversary. I believe my wife is about to murder me. Please burn incense next to my pictures and leave a bottle of whiskey on my gravestone.

As the doors swung open and they both entered the dining hall, I had already used [quick step] and was far from Leonie, hiding behind the table. I sat down, trying to conceal my busy, protesting little warrior.

"What are you guys doing in here?" Leona asked.

"Is this how you greet your sister?" Leonie responded with a question.

"Someone informed me about your arrival, so I thought you were at my office, so I rushed there."

Eli bowed her head politely, greeting Leonie.

"What were you two talking about?" Leona asked.

"We were talking about you."

"Elfan was introducing himself."

Elfan and Leonie answered simultaneously. The room became silent and awkward. I looked at Eli with eyes that said, "Please help me." She ignored me and avoided my gaze. Damn this girl, where is my Anna?

"Are you guys hiding something from me?"

"Yes."

"No."

Elfan and Leonie both answered at the same time.

Can someone please tell this little hassy to shut up? I am trying to confess to my wife.

"It can't be helped since Mr. Elfan doesn't want to hide it. I will confess first."

Someone please stop this girl from ruining my marriage.

"My love, I can explain..." Elfan started.

"Sister, Mr. Elfan said he will prepare a gift for Mom separately," Leonie interrupted Elfan.

Say what? What gift? What are we talking about?

"Ah yes, I guess we can't hide anything from you, huh? Hahaha," Elfan answered awkwardly.

"Oh, okay. Anyway, why are you here?"

"Do I need a reason to come see my sister?" Leonie replied.

"Don't tell me you came here alone."

"Of course I did," she puffed out her chest, feeling proud.

Leona approached her and pinched her cheeks. "You idiot, why are you proud of being reckless?"

"I am sorry, sister. Mother doesn't want to give me permission to live here," Leonie complained.

Actually, she can live here since it's the Aceso family living in the royal palace. However, I don't think it's a good idea.

"Mother is right; you need to live in the main estate to keep those old hags in check."

"We can just kill them like we did before."

"I am not going to argue with you. Sit down; the food will be coming soon." Leona pushed her sister to sit down.

I think I heard something dangerous from that girl. We all sat down, and Leonie actually came here to discuss a gift for their mother's birthday. Apparently, this custom of birthdays they took from human nobles. They argued again since Leonie wanted to sleep over; thankfully, she ended up leaving. I feel guilty. What if she uses that incident to blackmail me? She was wearing a green dress, man. Green, not blue. So how in the world did I miss that?

I love my wife. I don't think I can live without her anymore. I don't want to hurt her, and I also don't want to ruin her relationship with her sister. What should I do? What if the elders find out about this? They could blackmail me into becoming their toy. What if Eli already knows? She could start demanding money from me. What if, what if, what if... damn it, damn it, damn it, damnnnnnnnnnnn it.

Anna rushed into my office. "Are you okay, Your Majesty?"

"Yes, why? How much did you hear?"

"I heard screaming coming from your office."

"I heard nothing," Elfan responded with a serious expression.

"Oh, but..."

"You heard nothing," Elfan interrupted.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I heard nothing."

Wait, does this girl think I am a fool? Maybe she heard everything. Nobody will ask questions if she disappears, right? No, no, don't think like that. I am going crazy. It's already midnight, and I am afraid of going to the bedroom.

After Leonie left, I went to my office and claimed I had work to do. Anna was surprised since she had completed my work, but she said nothing. Is this what they call crazy in love?

I left the office and entered the bedroom, hoping she was already asleep. After taking off my clothes, I entered the bed slowly and closed my eyes.

"Not so fast, honey, I missed you."

She started kissing me. Damn it. I feel more guilty now. I can't take this anymore.

"Love, I am sorry."

"Mhm?"

"I fondled your sister thinking it was you. I didn't mean to. Please forgive me."
