The Wicked Wife's Dark History Keeps Coming Back To Haunt Her - Chapter 38
“Letters?”
Could there be a letter from my parents as well?
Neville said he would tell them that I’ve reflected a lot on my actions.
Nina, who was secretly hoping for a letter from her parents, received the silver tray with an expectant look.
However, there was no letter from her parents.
Most were letters inquiring about her well-being or invitations to social gatherings.
‘Well, it’s only been a few days, so a letter wouldn’t have arrived yet…’
Nina swallowed her bitter smile and opened a few envelopes to skim through the letters.
They were from people she had maintained friendships with before she lost her mind and started acting crazily towards her husband.
‘Everyone’s quick to switch sides.’
The events at Duke Granvil’s birthday celebration seemed to have spread quickly.
People were either trying to secure their position or test the waters just in case.
If the couple reconciled and had an heir, the social hierarchy would change.
‘What a waste of effort. I only have a year left, so trying to get on my good side is pointless.’
Nina clicked her tongue in sympathy for the sender’s wasted efforts.
At that moment,
“Madam, now that I think about it, you need to go to the capital soon, don’t you?”
“The capital?”
Nina, lost in thought, looked up at Marsha’s words.
“There’s the charity event in a month and a half. When will you leave this time? You’ll travel with His Grace, right…?”
At Marsha’s cautious question, Nina’s gaze turned serious.
In her past life, her husband had gone to the capital first, saying something urgent had come up.
He hadn’t traveled with her, and she had vividly remembered being furious, claiming it was an excuse and flaunting the state of their broken marriage.
She had thought it was just an excuse, but…
‘There really was a problem.’
All the event ingredients got changed.
Fortunately, Ash had managed to handle it to some extent, but Nina grabbing Duchess Nord’s hair had deeply disappointed His Majesty the Emperor.
“Do you know how important this day, which happens only twice a year, is to me?”
“…….”
“And yet, Duke Bayern, you neglected warehouse management, wasting the farmers’ effort and dedication, and the Duchess, who should be a role model, engaged in a brawl…”
Though her husband’s mistake was handled, her behavior caused them both to be scolded by His Majesty.
Calling it a scolding was an understatement.
As a result, her husband was humiliated and had his speaking rights revoked at noble council meetings for a while.
‘…It was my fault after all.’
This time, no matter what nonsense Duchess Nord spouts, I must remain calm.
Nina nodded, reflecting on her past actions, and spoke.
“Well, if nothing special happens, I’ll go with him.”
Although he would probably go to the capital first anyway.
“Madam, what about the attire? I think it would be better to prepare something different from what you chose last time…”
“I was thinking the same.”
In her past life, she had dressed up and attended the event as if she didn’t care about others’ opinions, resulting in:
‘Duchess, isn’t it uncomfortable to move in that outfit? The fabric looks quite expensive… what if it gets damaged while working?’
‘We’ll take care of everything, so you just sit comfortably over there, Duchess.’
At that time, she had been intoxicated by the flattery of the noblewomen who fawned over her and relaxed as they suggested.
Even though her husband ignored her, she believed it was only natural for others to grovel before her, the esteemed daughter of the Taylor family and the Duchess of Bayern, thinking menial tasks were the servants’ duties.
But that attitude eventually backfired on her.
