I’ll Be The Warrior’s Mother

Yelena thought it was rare for her to feel this conflicted.

She had lived her life thinking she was a simple person.

It seemed that there were days like this where she had no clue.

“Then what’s the real reason? Forget it. I didn’t ask you with the expectation that you would answer.”

After asking, Yelena waved her hand first.

As Yelena lowered her hand against the wall, she added words with a softer tone than before.

“Anyway… Okay. I only came to ask you that. I have no more business here.”

“…”

“If you have nothing more to say to me, shall I leave?”

Yelena waited for a moment, and when she heard no words from her opponent, she reached out to the tightly closed door.

Suddenly a large, thick hand popped out and blocked her hand.

“Wait, wife.”

“…?”

“Can I see your wrist?”

Yelena indifferently rolled up her sleeves and showed him her wrists.

“Here.”

Duke Mayhard shook his head.

“Not that side. The other wrist.”

“…”

Yelena became quiet.

Instead of rolling up her sleeve without hesitation, she thought for a moment before taking a step back.

“Come to think of it. I don’t think this is right.”

Yelena added as she hid the wrist Duke Mayhard pointed to behind her back.

“Even though we’re married, isn’t it a bit too much to demand me to show you my bare skin like this?”

“…”

“I think I have the right to choose the time and place. First of all, I prefer at night rather than day. Also, I prefer the bedroom with an atmosphere rather than an unfamiliar room without preparation like this…”

“Yelena.”

“…”

“Wrist.”

With pursed lips, Yelena glanced at the face of Duke Mayhard, who towered over her.

“Please.”

Yelena finally sighed and held out her wrist, which was hidden behind her back.

Reluctantly, she rolled up her sleeves slightly, revealing the black bruise on her wrist.

It was a bruise in the shape of a handprint.

Her skin was so pale so the bruise was more pronounced.

Yelena quickly lowered her sleeves.

“Is that enough?”

“Was that what Incan did?”

“It’s not like I can say no, right?” Yelena grumbled.

If possible, she didn’t want to show it to him, but in the end, she had to.

‘Oh, I’m embarrassed.’

She was resentful at the fact that her body was naturally weak.

She couldn’t believe she got this kind of injury from Incan.

It was a real disgrace.

Duke Mayhard was silent for a while.

As the silence continued, Yelena lifted her gaze that focused on the floor out of shame.

That was when Duke Mayhard spoke.

Perhaps it was because of the mood, but his voice sounded stiff.

“Why did you do that?”

“… What do you mean?”

“Why did you injure yourself this much just to reveal his crimes?”

“Now that you mention the injury…” Yelena mumbled back and soon pouted.

No, honestly, it was because of someone else.

‘Who would go to such lengths because they liked it?’

Even so, the results were not good enough to raise any complaints.

Yelena had revealed Incan’s crime, but Duke Mayhard was the one who found both the witness and testimony to confirm the crime.

It was awkward.

Yelena had discovered the problem and raised it, but it was actually Duke Mayhard who solved it.

She had been robbed of something important.

That was why Yelena couldn’t even tell Duke Mayhard he was in debt to her as she had initially planned.

She was already in a bad mood because of that. Meanwhile, hearing those words that seemed to blame her caused her heart to explode.

Yelena opened her mouth, intending to do as she liked.

“Why? Because of you.”

“…”

“Because you said you wouldn’t sleep with me!”

“… Wife.”

“I wanted to make a splendid contribution by revealing Incan’s affair, so then I would have an excuse to make you sleep with me! That was my goal! That’s why! All right?”

Teary-eyed, Yelena angrily spat out her words almost as if she was shouting and ended it with a huff.

Suddenly, her rationality returned.

“…”

She was insane. What did she just say?

Yelena found a place to look at with her shaking eyes as a delayed rush of embarrassment and shame flooded over her.

Duke Mayhard glanced at Yelena as if he was trying to say something but soon opened the closed door instead.

“I’ll send you the medicine.”
