Dear Contract Husband, I Didn't Know You Were Like This? - Chapter 77
“Where is the training ground here? I want to go now.”
Waiting until dawn tomorrow made her body itch too much.
Indeed, one cannot skip training even for a day.
[Excellent!]
White Dragon, who had suddenly appeared, shouted. Doshen blinked and then smiled at Maya’s words.
‘A person who values training more.’
It seemed that high society wouldn’t become a significant issue for Maya.
In this regard, her oblivious nature felt like a blessing.
Doshen liked this peculiar madam even more.
***
The Bayarden family estate had a large forest at the back.
Of course, the forest was also part of the Bayarden family’s private property.
The forest served both as a hunting ground and an excellent training area.
After changing into the practice clothes Doshen had brought, Maya began her training.
In the large clearing, Maya swung her sword to her heart’s content.
The sweat made her body feel refreshed.
Training was also a process of building a bond with White Dragon.
The Pendragon sword could change into different forms as its bond with its master deepened.
Before Maya lost herself, the only forms she had seen were the thin sword she usually used and a pair of twin swords.
‘I dislike twin swords because they aren’t as familiar….’
It would be nice if it could be summoned in different forms as well.
The weight of the Pendragon sword was proportionate to its form.
[It’s good to loosen up.]
White Dragon, who had been flying around energetically with the wyvern, muttered as it floated in the air.
“When will the monsters show up….”
The chattering White Dragon looked like it was itching for action.
It was fascinating that the Pendragon’s ego had such a form.
No matter how she looked at it, it resembled Maya too much.
Maya suddenly had a question.
‘Could Bayarden and Tristan be similar too?’
Curious, she asked right away.
“White Dragon, you said you are a part of Pendragon. Then does Bayarden also have a separate ego?”
The white dragon shrugged.
[Who knows? Even I don’t know if I do.]
Claiming to be a part of the ego was a convenient excuse.
Remembering and speaking were all at its discretion.
“Is there a way for you to find more of Pendragon’s ego? Or at least its memories?”
As she said it, she thought that finding more of the ego could be a significant advantage.
The course of events in her past life and this life were fundamentally the same.
‘I’m curious how things were resolved in the past.’
Maya wondered about life after her death.
There were inevitable events like Tristan’s proposal and the presence of the white snake, regardless of her choices.
‘In the past, the white snake and the demon king’s subordinates, including the demon king, must have appeared too.’
How did Tristan deal with the demon king in the past?
Could Bayarden have defeated them alone?
“Maya!”
A familiar voice called from afar.
Maya turned her head. There, Tristan, in his usual form, was running towards her.
The setting sun cast a shadow over Tristan’s face.
Yet, his smiling face was clearly visible. It wasn’t just because of her good eyesight.
It was because it was Tristan.
‘Sleeping side by side seemed to have an effect.’
Tristan, who had approached, spoke with a smile.
His black hair felt like a night sky sprinkled with stars.
“Did you have a good time? You could have visited other places, but it seems like you didn’t get to enjoy it for long.”
“It was enough.”
Today, they managed to get around ten dresses fitted. First, the one for the upcoming banquet was made, and the rest would come in due time according to the schedule.
Additionally, they bought around five dresses that Offrage had pre-made in loose sizes.
Maya was genuinely surprised when she saw that one of the dresses in the carriage had a price tag equivalent to her annual salary as knight captain.
“For you, it’s worth spending it all.”
With sweet words and a pretty smile, Maya couldn’t take her eyes off Tristan.
He was being kind because he was her contract husband, yet why did it feel like he was seducing her?
Did he know how effective it was for him to say such things with that face?
‘Is it because he hasn’t experienced high society yet…?’
It felt like he would lose all his money to a con artist.
Maya glared and gave a warning.
“Tristan, you shouldn’t say things like that so easily. What if I actually bankrupt House Bayarden?”
“If it makes the lady of the house happy, who am I to stop it?”
Tristan didn’t seem easily persuaded.
When Maya shook her head, Tristan burst into laughter.
“Let’s go inside. Dinner is ready.”
“Yes.”
“Maya.”
Standing behind Maya, Tristan whispered in her ear.
“I want to carry you inside.”
