Chapter 182 Alice's Fury
Gervis didn't pretend to be anything, and followed Alice into the room. This should be Alice's study, which was much bigger than Gervis's.
The entire study is as big as the hall of Gervis Castle, with many tall bookshelves, each of which is filled with heavy books.
Alice had already sat down at the desk. Gervis didn't act pretentiously. He moved a chair very naturally and placed it opposite Alice and sat down.
"You speak first!"
When Gervis sat down, Alice spoke directly, and her tone was exactly the same as when Gervis first met her on the third-floor balcony.
"Then I'll say it first!"
Gervis didn't know what Alice wanted to talk to him about, but since he was asked to speak first, he didn't refuse. Anyway, he was determined to refuse the colorful hat today. As a time traveler, Gervis would never accept the hat.
"I know you were forced to find someone to marry, and then you accidentally chose me."
Gervis looked at Alice's beautiful face and was still attracted by her exquisite facial features that seemed to be given by God. However, when it comes to matters of principle, even if Alice is a beauty that only appears once in a million years, Gervis will not give in, so he continued.
"I know you must have a lot of suitors, and your ex-boyfriend Kevin Trash is still pestering you. I don't expect you to really value me."
"I just hope you won't put a colorful hat on me. If it's really necessary, you can tell me that I am willing to break off the engagement with you and will pay you enough gold coins for the territory and title as compensation!"
Gervis slowly spoke out what was in his mind.
"What are colored hats?"
After listening carefully to Gervis' words, Alice suddenly asked.
"Uh...it's used to describe finding a lover while married!"
Bang!
However, just as Gervis finished his explanation, Alice slammed her hand heavily on the desk in front of her, and the expression on her face changed. Her originally cold and pretty face now had a hint of anger, which made Gervis look at her in a different way.
Alice was almost vomiting blood because of what Gerves said. She never thought that Gerves would talk to her about this matter. Who did Gerves think she was, having a lover while married? Alice felt that Gerves was insulting her.
When Alice heard Gervis say that Kevin was her ex-boyfriend, she wanted to explain the reason and deny that she had never had a romantic relationship with Kevin. After all, Gervis was her nominal husband, so it would be okay for her to give a little explanation.
But Gervis's last words ignited Alice's anger, and unsurprisingly extinguished the slight admiration she had for Gervis that she had gained from the caravan two days ago.
"You are insulting me!"
Alice finally spoke, her tone somewhat cold. She did not use the tone of a superior, but the tone of a cold goddess that she used to use when speaking to Gervis.
"You should take care of yourself first! What's wrong with your personal maid? How dare you bring her to Rose Castle? Aren't you afraid of what other nobles will say about you? Don't you care about my face?"
As Alice blurted out questions one after another, the temperature in the study seemed to drop several degrees.
Hearing Alice's questions like a series of bombs, Gervis was puzzled. How could this be related to the little maid Anna? It would also affect Alice's face. Of course, it is a good habit to ask questions without shame, so Gervis asked carefully.
"Anna? What's wrong with Anna? She's just a personal maid, why are people making fun of her? And how did I insult you? I'm just talking to you about the facts. As long as you don't make fun of me, we can be nominal husband and wife for any length of time..."
Bang!
"Get out of here!"
Before Gervis could finish his words, Alice, as if provoked by something, slammed the table again and started to drive Gervis away.
Gervis was of course not going to leave. It would be so embarrassing if he left when this woman asked him to. But when Gervis saw the faint light flashing on Alice, he immediately remembered a saying: A good man never suffers a loss in front of him. So he ran out of the study quickly.
"Only women and villains are difficult to raise. The ancients were right!"
After running out of the study quickly and closing the door, Gervis was still a little puzzled. Why was Alice so angry? Why did Alice say that she would be talked about by others because of Anna, the little maid?
But no matter what, I can't continue talking to Alice today. Judging from her behavior, she is really angry. I am only a mid-level bronze knight and I can't even fight back against Alice.
"It seems that I have to work hard on my training, otherwise I will really be hit on the head by my wife one day, which would be too embarrassing!"
Gervis walked downstairs with a sigh.
…
After Gervis left, Alice's anger finally subsided a little, but her pretty face was still as cold as ice.
Alice felt that it was a huge mistake for her to choose Gervis as her husband. She regretted why she didn't hang Gervis up and whip him dozens of times at that time. Since she first met Gervis, Gervis seemed to have never made her life easy.
She was choosing a husband while he was eating, and now it's even more excessive. Not only does she not want a valet, she also likes a valet. She even blatantly brought the valet to Rose Castle, not afraid of what outsiders would say when they saw her.
The most hateful thing is that the bad guy is now complaining first, asking me not to put that crappy hat on him. Am I that kind of person?
From childhood to adulthood, Alice has been like an angel in the eyes of others. She is the most dazzling wherever she goes. She also thinks of herself as a noble woman. She is never like some noble ladies who don’t even know how many lovers they have.
So she thought that Gervis had just completely insulted her.
Boom boom boom~
Just as Alice was still gritting her teeth at Gervis, there was a knock on the study door.
"Come in!"
The only person who could knock on her door at this time was probably Lina, so Alice answered directly to the door.
"Sir, you sent someone to look for me just now? What instructions do you have?"
After getting Alice's promise, Lina opened the door and walked into the room, but saw that Alice seemed a little angry and confused, so she immediately asked.
"Lina, go and bring Gervis's personal maid to the study!"
Facing Lina, Alice's tone softened and she gave her an order.
"Yes, sir, but in case we run into Gervis..."
"Tell him this is what I want! If he doesn't want to, let the guards...let him come along."
When Alice thought of Gervis's hateful appearance, she originally wanted to ask the guards to restrain him, but then she thought that he was her nominal husband anyway, and it would definitely be inappropriate to do so, so she changed her mind.
"Yes, sir!"
Lina felt a little puzzled. She had just come and told Alice about Gervis's personal maid, but Alice was not so angry. How come Alice seemed to hate Lord Gervis after she had been away for a while?
However, no matter how strange it was, Lina absolutely obeyed Alice's orders. After agreeing, she immediately bowed and took her leave, walking towards the guest room on the second floor.
Thanks to the book friend "From the Peaceful Tomorrow" for the reward!!!
