“…..Really?”

At that moment, Raven’s eyes began to scan through the butler for that strange answer.

“If you don’t change your clothes soon, you’ll be late for dinner.”

“Yes, I’ll be going shortly.”

Raven turned to look at the direction of his wife’s voice.

Raven tried to shake off his suspicions towards her behavior, which seemed to be nothing except for her own unusual expressions. Nevertheless, Molitia still remained to be quite peculiar even after that.

She acted like she was at a loss even while she was eating. This was the Molitia, who always used to look at him during their meal.

Raven stopped his fork before fixating at her. Unaware of the gaze that had been locked onto herself, Molitia was still mechanically moving her fork with her eyes pointed directly on the plate.

As soon as Molitia arose from her seat, straight after the time for her favorite dessert, Raven felt that he could no longer let her be—just like that.

————-

“Molitia.”

As she was seated on bed in the bedroom, he began to confront her face to face while boring a hole into her face.

“Be honest with me. Is there something going on—truly?”

“No, there isn’t.”

Molitia shook her head reflexively. Her eyes were fixed on him, but somehow, they appeared vacant.

“Maybe I’m just a little tired. Thus, this rather odd face of mine.”

“Are you tired?”

“I think I’ll be fine once I get a good night’s sleep.”

“Really?”

Then, his hand gently wrapped around hers.

“Ah!”

Raven immediately released her hand—Molitia did as well—in surprise at the piercing scream. She suddenly felt an agonizing pain in her already injured hand.

“What’s wrong?”

“Well, it’s… The back of my hand hurts all of a sudden……”

“The back of your hand?”

Raven quickly examined the back of her hand at her response. His eyes widened with astonishment when he saw the red mark imprinted right at the back of her hand.

“When did this happen?”

“Well, it’s… I—too.”

Her lips fell vaguely into a straight line as she hadn’t even felt any pain until she saw the mark herself. When did it—?

When did this…

“Maybe I spilled some tea—during tea time this afternoon.”

She remembered when Arjan had made the table rattled viciously. The place was left marred by the leftover tea that got spilled from the cup. Now that it had become like that, she immediately thought that her hand wouldn’t be fine at all.

Raven’s eyes instantly narrowed at those words of hers. It had become quite a speculation as she wasn’t even aware of it herself.

She said that nothing had happened in the first place. Therefore, he was absolutely furious—but not towards herself. He wanted to inquire about the details right away, but there was something much more important to do now.

“Is anyone out there?”

One of the servants who was outside, immediately entered once his reverberating voice was heard.

“My wife is wounded. Get the doctor here at once.”

“Yes, sir.”

It was already late in the evening, but still, it had been possible due to having a doctor standing by at home. The servant quickly left the room at that instant.

Soon after that, the doctor hurriedly bowed her head after rushing to the dining hall under the guidance of that particular servant.

The doctor then immediately took a look at Molitia’s hands before bowing her head—yet again.

“This is actually a light scald. But I think that it’s already swollen as I couldn’t remove it quickly. Applying it with ice packs will make you feel better soon.”

There was a thin layer of bandage plastered at the back of Molitia’s hand. Then, a bag of ice was placed on top of that biting sensation.

“Still, I will also prescribe some medicine—just in case.”

Silence immediately fell in the bedroom as soon as the doctor had left after the examination. Molitia was looking downwards—unable to meet Raven’s clear gaze.

“Molitia.”

A low voice had eventually broken the silence.

“Do you really have nothing to say to me?”

“…Raven, it’s…”

“I’ve told you already that I would never hide anything. So, why are you hiding it from me? You still can’t put your trust in me?”

Molitia immediately raised her head—astounded by Raven’s surprising words.

“No! I’m just…”
